I am regretting my purchase of the W755... I'm simply dissapointed with the quality of the phone. It is an attractive phone (i have the purple one). Although attractive, it runs EXTREMELY slow! I have also had Many instances where the phone will freeze up or turn itself off completely. It drives me nuts! I haven't loaded any of my music or pics onto it becasue I'm afraid it will run even slower.
I hope that maybe it's just me and I got a defective one. We'll see what Verizon has to say. As a recently acquired customer, I would hope they see how this phone is affecting my faith in their company.

22. great phone for the money

I got this phone as an upgrade from a really old LG clamshell, and I just love it. It's a little quirky, and I wish the little confirmation messages you get when saving a contact or adjusting the volume didn't last for as long as two seconds, but overall it's great. It doesn't scratch very easily (none so far) and I think it looks great despite what other people think. The touch sensitive buttons on the front are really useful, especially the mute key. It's a classy little thing with mp3/aac support and bluetooth, and that's what I was looking for.

23. Great Phone! Try it, you'll like it.

I almost did not get the W755 after reading reviews here but the Verizon sales rep talked me into it. Said those that have tried it really like it and I could try it out and return for a different phone if it did not work out. Have had it for 8 days and I'm very glad I gave this phone a try, it has exceeded my expectations in every area, and I'm keeping it.

Pros:
Lots of features for the price.
Battery life is much better than my previous 3 phones. Have not charged it in 3 days and battery indicator still shows 4 bars.
Phone is easy to use. Large #'s on the keypad and large fonts on the main screen mean I can use it without my reading glasses.
Speaker phone feature worked fine. Sound was more than satisfactory, better than previous phone. Camera works great, is easy to use and picture quality is good. Uses common mini USB for data transfer and charging, you can even charge the phone by hooking up to your computer. I already had two mini USB cables that came with my camera and Sansa Clip that also work with the phone.
Have not had a single dropped call yet.

Cons:

You have to remove the battery to get to the microSD memory. Not a lot of free ringtones included. These are very minor issues, if not for these I'd give the phone a 10 instead of a 9.9.

My wife also got the same phone, purple, and we both are very happy with our decision.

24. Well....

i got this phone 2 days ago, upgrading from my razr which i loved because of its simplicity.

i like the design, even though i wish it were a little lighter and not so bulky.

i haven't had any issues with the battery, and i cant judge the reception quality yet since i haven't made too many calls.

my main problem is, IT RUNS SO SLOOWWWWWW! its really driving me crazy. at first i bought like 15 songs from vcast, and i thought thats what was slowing it down, so i deleted them. i had uploaded 5 pictures from my computer, and i deleted those too. that did nothing to solve the problem. its soooo slow i cannot believe it. when i text, i use the itapen mode, and it takes over 5 seconds for a word or phrase to pop up. im so aggravated and disappointed. im about to go back to the verizon store and get a new phone, i mean.. i paid $100 for the brand new thing, i expect it to run a little faster.

As a cell phone this makes a great paper weight!
The features are good and its apperance and style are great but what kills it is the poor battery life.Although adveristised at 320hrs the best I got was 16hrs! Gave it back & had my old V325 reactivated, at least I know it works.

I really like my new Motorola w755.... all those reviews say that its not that great but ive had mine for 2 weeks and haven't had one dropped call or problems........ I mostly text and its great for that but my dad calls me at least three times a day and i have had no problems hearing him or him hearing me.....just wish the camera had a flash and that it fit in my pocket better.

27. Buyer Beware

3 Jul 2008 by pedreiro

The reception on this phone is terrible. I'm not sure how the Editors were able to rate the Reception as a Pro and not a Con! I compared two different devices side-by-side with my old Nokia 6236i candybar and there was no comparison!!! The Moto W755 is a everything but a PHONE, especially if you live in fringe signal areas. If I wanted a non-phone with great features, I would have just bought a PDA with Wifi. From now on, I will not commit to buying a new phone until I've thoroughly tested it in a real life setting (for example, on I95 near Mystic, CT where there is a stretch of non-coverage on the Moto, but still great coverage with my old phone). Buyer Beware. This is definitely a flim-flam-bim-bam-boozle of a phone, but a great toy if you don't care about actually having to make/receive reliable calls. I hope a Verizon rep reads this and starts owning up to the fact that this phone is a joke.

28. Lemon? or is this the Real Thing?

First, let me say I have always been a Motorola User beginning with the good old StarTac and just now trading in the V265. I'm not much of a "bells and whistles" type of a person. I JUST WANT A PHONE WITH GOOD RECEPTION. Living in a fringe area I have always counted on the Motorola for the best possible reception. Therefore, when I was time to upgrade I thought I would go with the W755.....what a mistake!!

1. Fully charged the battery when new. Did not download any music, take any pictures... Made two 20 minute phone calls and the next day (19 hrs later I received message Low Battery. Verizon Rep states if you live in a fringe area it will really use up the battery. (never had a problem with reception with my other Motorolas)

2. Five dropped calls in 2 days. After one of the dropped calls, phone state to please read message. The message said " please remember to unplug the phone from the charger" I didn't even have it plugged in to a charger. What does that have to do with a dropped call?

3. Sound: Using the phone without headset, people could hear me fine; however, it sounded like the people I were talking to you were in a tin can. Tried my wired headset, almost ruptured my eardrum with the phone on the lowest volume setting. Nothing wrong with the headset, I had just used it the day before with my Motorola V265 and it worked fine.

4. Menu layout and display, Really nice and user friendly. HOWEVER, doesn't do much good with all the other problems including reception.

I did my upgrade online so I could receive the instant rebate, the phone was free with a 2-yr update agreement. Called customer service last night, they are sending a LG VX 8350 (never had a LG before).... I am praying that it will be better because according to customer service, you only get to return one phone. After I receive my LG, I have 10 days to send one of them back..........I'm betting it will be the Motorola.

I am so disappointed in this Motorola because I have always counted on Motorola for good reception...... Maybe, I got a Lemon...... just beware!

I've had this phone for about a week. I like it.. It definatly looks cool, it being purple and all. I haven't had any problems with it getting hot while I'm on it, and trust me I'm on of those people who live life with my cell phone attached to my face. I charge it at least once a day sometimes twice but I've always had that problem with phones. The call quality is shoddy at times but nothing too bad. My one complaint is there is no flash on the camera!

30. Not bad at all

I was a little disappointed when I got home and found out that the Verizon rep who gave me the phone was "wrong" - it wasn't the new RAZR he said he could give me...

But I like the phone - lots of neat features:
The automatic voice recognition for handsfree is great.
The buttons on the outside for audio are good (except I'm constantly wiping my fingerprints off of the glossy surface).
The bluetooth streaming works well (with a 4GB MicroSD card inside, I've got a decent part of my music library on my phone).

Here are my gripes, though...
No iSync support for contacts (my AT&T RAZR synced w/ no problem).
Non-standard size - I'm having an awful time finding a holster that's not too tight or too loose.
Proprietary ring-tone - I would love to edit an mp3 and transfer it over (but I can't).

Overall, it's a pretty good phone - a good bunch of features that RAZR V3 lacks for less than RAZRs cost.
