1. Wireless Sales Rep

I work for an authorized retailer who carries Verizon, and this just may be our best selling phone. We always have this cheapest for upgrade as well as free for new contracts. The phone is easy to navigate and functions fine, but he has its quirks. The appearance is a little goofy to me...I don't know what to make of the chrome trimming, the front has a strange overall appearance. The screen has great color and clarity to it, but not much is needed with the 1.3mp camera. As I write this review the phone has been on the market for nearly a year and a half, so I know not to compare it to what is new. Nonetheless, it still has its shortcomings.
As easy -to-use and simple as this phone is, it may seem like a great recommendation for someone looking for a "basic" phone to just make calls and maybe take a few pictures. HOWEVER, it has terrible reliability. I have never seen a phone that seems to have as many problems as this, especially with the battery. We get an average amount back from things like glitchiness or software malfunctions, but the amount we see with complaints of battery problems is astronomical. It only lasts a day...it won't charge...it doesn't hold the charge...it randomly shuts off.
It's a nice phone to use, but I would recommend something like an LG VX8360 any day over this.

i'll say this.. the phone has a lot of nice features. like the front touch keys to put the bluetooth on and the vibrate feature. but if your a texter, this is not the phone for you. it's very delayed. i'll text a whole message and not have it pop up for 20 seconds. and with that, is a bunch of mispelled words! and now with a couple friends, the phone wont even ring when they call. it's very weird, but the call comes in, and no ring with it. just little things that keep happening to it that are weird. if your a heavy cell phone user, i wouldn't recommend it. but if your a standard call maker and occasional text messenger, it's a fine phone.

7. User Manual

User Manual is awful - some instructions are simply wrong. Verizon store and Customer Service suggested that it was Motorola's issue. I told them not to blame someone else; that they sold the phone as part of a package deal and Verizon name is on phone. From my conversations I believe they are aware of the problem but do not care. Too early to comment on phone itself except that I have noticed what others have said - reception not great.
I may return the phone. What a pain in the ass.

8. Do NOT buy this phone!

I'm telling you, if you're looking for a new phone you don't want to ignore this. People sometimes pay the price for not listening to reviews. Well I bought this phone the day it came to my local Verizon store, May 23 08 (purely coincidental, didn't know it was a new arrival). As soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it, so I paid the full price and received the $50 rebate. It is stylish, attractive, and user-friendly, but believe me it stops there. Well in a few days I experienced a few problems. I didn't receive calls at all (not dropped them, I never RECEIVED THEM. PERIOD). I quickly realized sound quality of calls was HORRIBLE. At max volume it's terribly distorted, so I have it down to medium volume, which is inconvenient since I'm slightly hard of hearing. A few weeks later, I began experiencing lag when typing text messages. About 20 seconds for my message to pop up when using iTap setting. Nowadays, when the phone doesn't lag, I don't get text messages on average for 20 minutes. Verizon-Verizon texts are okay, but Verizon-U.S. Cellular texts are the ones that are delayed (and not all of my friends' texts are delayed, only certain ones). The Verizon rep told me it was U.S. Cell's fault (which is hard to believe, since I'll get one text from a U.S. Cell friend but won't get one from another U.S. Cell friend...). I tried to take the phone back a few weeks ago to the Verizon-main-hq-whatchamacallit place in the next city from me and the customer service rep didn't even look at my phone, examine it, anything, she told me "there's not a problem with that phone!" and pretty much told me to get out of her face. I wrote a letter to Verizon Customer Service in Texas about a month ago. Did I get a reply? No. I called the warranty factory to get a replacement, well they only send out REFURBISHED phones, which are NOT of "like or comparable quality" as the brochure a Verizon Rep gave me said, because common sense would tell you that a refurbished phone isn't worth full price I paid for the dang paperweight. Well they can't even do that right, they sent me an old, out-of-date POS LG brick of a phone. So I'm stuck with a phone I can't get replaced, and I don't want to pay for a new one. Verizon is full of cheap SOBs that want you out of your face when they have your money. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM, AND DEFINITELY DON'T BUY THIS PHONE.
Style, design, very easy to use, like the MP3 controls on the front screen.EVERYTHING except what I mentioned in the "Pros" column.

I bought this phone in June, mostly loved it. Reception could be better. Easy to use though. Don't use it for music as I prefer my ipod for that. I love the purple colour. Bought a 2nd one in July slate colour for my husband. He loves his also although the reception is also bad. Not great battery life on either. We do not have a land line, so this is our connection totally. Looking very carefully for the next set of phones, maybe upgrade to blackberry next time since we have no landline. For the price of these, can't really complain a lot. Another con is the vibrating, or should I say LACK of vibrating. Can't feel it vibrate at all, even in the pocket. Works great for texting though. Don't really use the camera much.
great colours great for texting
love the ease of placing it in mute.bad battery life and bad reception
Don't like the voice button on the outside. Always hitting it.

My Razr broke and I asked for another one. They said that they didn't have it, and I asked what was similar. They said the W755 in black slate was the most similar, and they never, ever talked me into another phone, which was very good :) I said I'd buy it and did, and this is better then the Chocolate II 8550. :)
