 Finally a good Motorola! July 26, 2008
Very reliable. Awesome clarity and battery time. No rarely used features to jack up the price. If you need a good phone- this is the one.
Great Simple Phone June 26, 2008
Good simple phone. Feels solid. Small size. Good reception. What else ya need?
I thought I wouldn't go back to Motorola but... May 1, 2008

The most important thing to me is signal strength. The next thing is battery life, sound quality, speakerphone quality, bluetooth clarity and a voice recognition that doesn't leave you laughing hysterically (the first couple of times) or blastingly angry (after the a few more).
The LG 8350's voice recognition is ridiculously funny. At the Verizon store they said that it had to be trained first. OK, sure. I want to train my phone first...hmmm. Bluetooth on the LG was alright but scratchy and like I need stereo bluetooth to play music. That went back to the store. (By the way, signal and voice was fine but I wanted ALL to be good).
Next phone I tried was the Samsung U410 which was OK but boring and the bluetooth was also scratchy and the sound on the speakerphone is fine if you have a bionic ear. I don't so that one went back.
I tried these two brands (LG and Samsung) because somewhere in the back of my mind, I was avoiding Motorola as they can be buggy. I have had two Motorola phones before (the V710 and a grey clamshell thing some year back) and they always worked great-when they worked.
At the Verizon store in Sacramento, since these phones were not working out for me, I decided to hold my nose and try the Motorola W385. Well, the bluetooth was totally clear and loud, the speakerphone was clear and similar to what I experienced with the V710, signal strength was solid. The voice recognition got the numbers I mentioned the first time without needing to be "trained" like the LG. I looked up the reviews (the Verizon employee let me get on the internet) and was pleasantly surprised to see alot of good reviews. The employee knew nothing about this phone and said that she doesn't sell many Motorolas. Well to make a long story short, I think you should try this phone and see if you agree that this is the best all around phone.
Good luck!
 Worth the price, but not awesome. April 21, 2008

I've had this phone for about six months now. I got it free when I renewed my cell contract. It is, as several of the previous reviewers have said, a sturdy, functional phone. The size is good - it fits nicely in my back pocket, for example), I get good reception with it, the speakerphone is OK. The camera is what it is - not great, but not awful for a 640px camera. I'm not a fan of ONLY having the option of buying Verizon's software or paying to message the pictures to myself, but that's a Verizon issue, not an issue with the phone itself.
I have two gripes with this phone: First, the vibrate is very weak - I can have the phone UP AGAINST MY SKIN (i.e., tucked inside my clothing while I'm out running) and I'll hear it ringing before I feel it vibrating. Second, the battery isn't awesome. I'm not a heavy user and I can routinely go four or five days without having to recharge, BUT if I have to take it off the charger before it registers "charge complete" I get at BEST a day of light to no use before it's dead again. I don't get a full charge unless I turn the phone off during the charge - which is not ideal, since this is my only phone.
All told, though, you can't really argue with this much functionality from a free phone.
