Motorola W375

Now I have to be honest, I never usually go for Motorola phones and I don't usually buy any this cheap but when I received it I was shocked as its value for money. I paid around 30 pound for the phone a few months ago and I've had no problems what so ever. What's more, even though it only cost 30 quid, it isn't the worst looking phone in the world. In fact when it's closed you'd swear it cost four times as much as it did. HOWEVER do not buy this phone if you want a phone equipped with modern features. The reason this phone is so cheap is because it has been designed pretty much just for texts and phoning. I think the idea behind it is great. I've lost count of how many times I've heard someone say, 'o but I don't want a phone with loads of features, I just want one for texts and phoning'. Motorola have successfully created a neat little phone that'll let you carry out all your basic needs as very little cost. Although there are some down sides to the lack of features. Despite not caring about it when I bought the phone, it's annoying having a phone that doesn't have bluetooth or infrared. This makes it impossible to connect to other phones and means you can only connect to your computer with a cable. There are also so problems with other things that are on the phone. The one thing that bugs me is the amount it lags behind when you text. I text very regularly and when I do I text fast, however the phone doesn't seem to appreciate this and plods along at its own pace which can get very frustrating and means it can take longer than normal to write a text. However this is the only big problem I have with the phone, other features such as the headset and calling are all great and work just as well as on my other phone (Sony Ericsson W810i). Therefore, if you're looking for a phone to carry out basic tasks at a low cost this phone is definitely the one for you. The only warning I have is that the phone is quite slow at times and texts can take a while to write. Apart from this, I'd definitely recommend this phone to people wondering whether it's a good deal.
