Amazon.com Product Description
Blending RAZR high style with an affordable price tag, the sleek Motorola W490 offers compelling communication features to keep you in touch with ease. With a vibrant color screen and lengthy talk-time, this compact flip phone is a handy mobile companion. In addition to text messaging capabilities, you can chat with buddies using Yahoo!, MSN, AOL, or ICQ instant messaging services. Other features include a 1.3-megapixel camera with video capture, USB wired connectivity with mass storage capability, Bluetooth connectivity with stereo music streaming, and MicroSD memory card expansion.



With RAZR-like slimness, the W490 measures just 0.7 inches thin and weighs 3.8 ounces.


With T-Mobile's MyFaves service, you'll enjoy unlimited nationwide calling to your 5 favorite people.
T-Mobile Service
The W490 operates on GSM 850/900/1800/1900 networks and can handle high-speed data connectivity via T-Mobile's EDGE network (which stands for "Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution"). This high-speed, mobile data and Internet access technology is fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services (with average data speeds between 75-135Kbps), including video and music clips, full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email on the go.

It's compatible with T-Mobile's myFaves service, which allows you to call up to five of your most common contacts--on any network, even landlines--without using any of your minutes. Learn more about myFaves from T-Mobile.

Phone Features
Measuring 0.69 inches thin, the Motorola W490 sports a 1.9-inch LCD screen with support for 262K colors and a 176 x 220-pixel resolution. It has a 5 MB internal memory, which can be expanded up to 2 GB using optional MicroSD memory cards. This phone can store up to 1000 contact entries (plus up to 250 stored on the SIM card), and each entry can store up to five numbers as well as picture ID.

This Motorola phone includes the innovative CrystalTalk technology, which automatically accounts for background noise during a call and adjusts the audio quality based on ambient noise conditions to provide the optimal conversational experience. CrystalTalk also reduces the volume of the background noise picked up by the microphone during a call, making it possible to be more easily heard over the phone while in a noisy environment.

This phone provides Bluetooth version 1.2 wireless connectivity, and includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, and audio/video remote control. With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones.

In addition to SMS text messaging capabilities, the W490 offers built-in instant messaging with Yahoo!, MSN, AOL, and ICQ services. iTap text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for entering text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile email and text messaging users. Other features include:

  • Music file support: MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+
  • 1.3-megapixel camera with 8x digital zoom and video capture
  • PIM tools: calendar, calculator, voice memos
  • Speakerphone
  • Java 2.0 support for app and game downloads

Vital Statistics
The Motorola W490 weighs 3.8 ounces and measures 1.8 x 3.9 x 0.7 inches. Its 800 mAh lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 7.5 hours of talk time, and up to 14 days of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies.

5 out of 5 stars I love this phone so much I just might marry it.   May 30, 2008

Aesthetically, this phone makes me smile every time I take it out. I sometimes leave it on my desk at work to make my co-workers jealous. ;) The functionality is great - very intuitive and easy to use. The keypad has a straightforward, pleasantly tactile interface.

I was wary about getting this phone because of a review on Amazon that said the screen was ugly (it's perfectly fine), texting was slow/characters took two seconds each to pop up (not true; they come up immediately); the front window was useless (like all phones, it clearly displays the time and, when someone's calling, their name or number -- the picture on this page accurately depicts this); the ringer is too soft (it's plenty loud at the highest volume; in fact I had to turn it down); and the photos are low-quality (they're obviously not as good as those taken with a real camera, but they are about what you'd expect for a camera phone).

I've had my phone for about three weeks and I'm simply thrilled with it. (The ooohs and ahhhs from passersby don't hurt!) ;)
