Motorola - w385 Cell Phone Review Summary

Another one of the basic phones, Motorola W385 Cell Phone is a cell phone designed mainly for those who do not need many of the extra features often found in a modern communication device. It does offer a camera and is Bluetooth capable, but reviewers say that the luxuries end right there. However, they like the sound quality and the compact size of this cell phone. The Motorola W385 Cell Phone is a “Good Phone with Stellar Sound, Ease of Use, and Durability”, but another reviewer responds by saying “Not Bad, Wouldn’t Buy it Again”. Some of the issues mentioned with the Motorola W385 Cell Phone are its too soft ringer, the short battery life, and the physical finish, which wears out and wears off rather quickly. So, taken as a whole, the Motorola W385 Cell Phone rates as an average Cell Phone that won’t meet the standards of some consumers.

The phone is durable without being bulky or of the ancient style.  The display is customizable and easy to read.  I have yet to experience static or noise in the background.  Easy to learn and use.  I would highly recommend it to anyone!

nice phone but don't like that i can't scroll in either direction in my CONTACTS list.

wish the ringer was louder and that it would vibrate stronger.

 is a comfortable phone to hold.  nice and sleek to fit in pocket.

     I got my new motorola W385 about 3 months ago. I love it. It's everything I wanted in a phone. It's easy to use, beautifully designed and has held up well.

The charger stopped charging on two units.  The black finish has pelled off.  Buy the insurance if you purchase this you will need it.

I have been very happy with my Motorola w385 flip phone. It is very easy to use which is important for those of us who do not have time to read instruction manuals. Both of my parents have one as well and they are very technically challenged and it has been a breeze for them as well. The camera takes decent pictures. The storage is average. It has capabilty to download ringtones which is very important for me because I hate boring ringtones. The outside of the phone is pretty scratch resistant. I am very hard on phones and this one barely has a scratch on it. The best thing of all is that the battery... review »

my Motorola W385 Got ran over by my minivan, and still works!  The screen on the inside is shattered, but i can make a take calls, adn i can still set up some functions, as long as i remember how many button pushes it takes.

 Before the break i loved my phone.  It is sleek but not tiny, the number pad smooth but still has definitions between each number so i dont make mistakes.  The pictures it took were decent for a phone, and i like the simplicity of the menu adn its options.  I want to buy a replacement, but the price tag is a little steepp for me, but i dont want a differnt phone.

The W385 is a useful telephone for the person who wishes to use mostly voice and some text.  It has a good speaker and microphone system and it's layout is very intuitive.  For those who wish to text often this phone is lacking, it does not a a full keyboard and thus does not allow for the quick texting which it expected today.  The screen of the W385 is bright and easy to read but the selector wheel will scratch the screen after only a small amount of opening and closing.

 I have had this cell now for a month or 2 and I have not had any problems. For me it is a good phone. The directions are not very good I had to go to the website to find out everything about it. As it only had a 4 page phamplet. No good if you do not have the Net.

This Motorola telephone, model w385 is a very basic telephone. If one needs to just call and speak and nothing else fancy, then this is the phone for you. It is light weight, flip phone and the coverage with Verizon Wireless is far reaching.

motorola w385, not a bad phone, but after a couple of months it starts to look cruddy. Overall, it works well and seems to stand up to a decent amount of abuse
