CRAP

I've had my phone for almost 6 months and for the last 1 and a half its been crashing. The screen goes white or black when I open it and sometimes it won't even come on AT ALL! I have to leave it open all the time or I can't use it. Doing this makes the battery run down & I have to charge it more often than I'd like. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS PHONE, PLEASE!

Pros

Good camera
fun colors
easy to use

Cons

crashes
have to always keep it open
shuts off randomly

Don't Call the W490 A Piece of Crap!!!

Or you will owe pieces of Crap a major apology!

I've gone through three of these 'things' in less then a year. I'm an ole timer and don't abuse electronics in any way, very gentle and respectfull of their 'needs'. three of these W490s have gone to the 'white screen of death' on me now.  But the kicker is the reason I got the W490 is my RAZr suffered fromt he white screen of death.

Also, MOTO makes rotten earphone cables. I've gone through FIVE of the wired ones and TWO blue tooth sets ALL MOTO products not knock-offs.

Save yourself major agravation and get a NOKIA or a Samsung or even two oatmeal boxes with a long string.

i can't imagine what kind of problems this phone will have in the hands of a kid.

Pros

WHEN it works it's a nice tool.

Cons

It's a disposable phone. And buying insurance is a waste of money at least the T-Mobile offering. You pay for the insurance onthly then they sock you with a huge fee they call a 'deductable'. I'm canceling the insurance and buying a NOKIA unlocked phone and I'll never use MOTO again.

There, I feel better already.
