The Motorola w490 is overall a pretty good phone for the price if you are looking for a basic phone with basic features. The camera takes pretty good pictures but it does not have a flash so the quality diminishes in low light settings. The texting feature is very user friendly. I like that it comes in purple color. One thing I dont like is that if you have too many text messages in the inbox (over 300) it wont let you delete all at once. When you try to do it it will say deleting, please wait, and then it just freezes up and even pushing any of the buttons wont unfreeze it-you cant even turn it...
