Motorola w385 Phone (Verizon Wireless, Phone Only, No Service) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm a simple guy and for me the most important aspects of a cell phone are 1) size, 2) reception, and 3) battery life. I bought this as a replacement for a more advanced LG VX8100 phone because the VX8100 was falling short in all those areas. I LOVE the W385 because it's tiny, gets great reception, and has amazing battery life. It feels solid and substantial and the rubberized shell makes it feel durable. Plus it has a tougher plastic keypad that doesn't feel as cheap as the other razors on which this design was based.
The only drawback is that sometimes it can be difficult to zero in on particular keys on the keyboard; i occasionally press one key when I meant to press another. But for me that's a very small complaint for a phone that delivers in all the areas I really care about.
If you're looking for an attractive and functional workhorse cell phone with great talk-time and standby time, I would recommend this phone. If you're interested in all the bells and whistles (that drain battery life and result in bigger phones!) then this probably isn't the one for you.
