This is the second w490 in the past 3 months. After only a month the first one stopped working completely...all i could do was open it. I couldnt text, look at my phonebook, make calls, nothing. Tmobile sent me a replacement but now the back cover wont stay on and my texts either delete themselves or rearrange themselves. i really dont like this phone and cant wait to buy another one even though I just upgraded in april.

EASILY one of the worst phones i have ever picked up, it is slow, if you are texting and a text comes in FORGET ABOUT IT, if you want to spell a word that has more than 5 letters PREPARE TO WAIT, if you want to do ANYTHING while it is trying to send or recieve a message, you might as well go to a movie or something cause this phone is SLOW!!!!!! Besides the slowness of it, it is extremely sensitive to water i cant even have mine in the bathroom when i shower because if i do the keypad no longer works for about a day. And now i have been getting the white screen of death i can turn on my phone but if i close it and reopen it all i see is white, sometimes black.
so in all i would strongly strongly STRONGLY not advise buying this phone OR ANY MOTOROLA PHONE every single motorola i have had has been GARBAGE. The camera isnt ANYTHING compared to its competitors cameras. DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!

You want to know why this is a low end phone? Because it will break if you even look at it wrong. I had this phone 3 weeks, and both screens are now shattered inside. All I did was make the mistake of having it in my pocket at work; the phone was not dropped or abused in any way. The screen shattered while the phone was sitting peacefully inside my front pants pocket. That and the back plate slips off all the time. I'm scared to even take it outside my house now.
So if you are an old lady who wants a flashy, overpriced house phone this one is okay. If you are in the market for a cellphone that might last over a year without any complications DO NOT BUY MOTOROLA, their phones are garbage.

58. worst phone

I had this phone for a few months and loved it. Then it froze and i couldn't use it. T-mobile sent me another one and it did the same thing in less time. Sometimes it will randomly add numbers and letters when i am calling or texting. I am now on my fifth one because T-mobile wont let me get anything else. I hate this phone and it has been nothing but a problem. T-mobile told me that i had too much saved on my phone so on my last one i had only two pics and very few contacts to ensure that the memory wasn't full, yet i still had this problem. This is the worst phone i have ever had!!!

59. Just "OK"

Size, case and display are very nice. Telecom feature works well on TMO. Finally phone is loud enough (a Motorola phone problem). It is NOT a KRZR tho. Menu functionality is very limited and much inferior to KRZR. It is a thousand times better in every respect than a RAZR. Bluetooth on KRZR was great. On (blue) RAZR and W490 it is poor. I really like using Bluetooth tho, but have turned it off for good in this phone. It just doesnt work well. Battery life is very good, about 4 days for me. KRZR was a day or two better. I use it 45 min/day and its off 5pm - 7 am.

well i got this phone yesterday, and it's a very awesome phone. They had 3 colors - black, purple, and green. Very good phone for a good price. Not as thin as the RAZR OR KZR, but still is good. Fits in your pocket, not like the RAZR. I really recommend this to someone who wants a stylish phone for a cheap price.
