Motorola W755
I need some info on this phone please!!
Hi! Can anyone give me some information on this phone? I am considering purchasing it. Are the ringers loud? I keep it in my purse, but if the ringers are loud enough, I can hear it. I now own the LG VX 8350, and the ringers are very loud. I played aroung for a few minutes with the Motorola at the Verizon store, but I would really like to get someone's feedback who has this phone. How is call quality? Is the inside screen nice and bright? Also as I remember, the keypad lighting is white, right? And most importantly, the touch keys on the front, I am assuming that when you brush against it, if it's in my purse, they will light up and doesn't that drain the battery? How is the battery life? Anyone's help and information will be greatly appreci...

The ringers are very loud,call quality is awsome (its Verizon),the inside screen is bright but like any other phone when your in the sun its light,Key pad lights up white when you take a picture or listen to music it turns blue,The outside touch keys can be locked.Battery life is ok still up in the air for me sometimes the battery just needs conditioning as time goes on.Overall this is a very nice phone I am coming off the the Samsung Glyde for this and I am glad I did

The ringers are great - loud enough to hear but not screechy. I've never inadvertently hit the outside buttons, you'd have to activate them with the button on the side and it's not easy to do by mistake. Battery life for me is awesome, but I do more talking and texting than anything else...it's a matter of preference, but I really like this phone.

Thanks you guys for the information you have given, it really helps make a decision. This phone is getting great reviews that I have been reading. If anyone else would like to give some feedback, I would really like that. The more the better. My 2 years isn't up just yet, but I am seriously considering paying retail for it, only I forget how much it is, so if anyone knows, please fill me in. Hope it's not too expensive. I mainly use a phone for talking, texting, and I download some songs from VZW Deluxe, as well as some wallpapers from the sights that the phone offers. Is the back lighting on the keypad pretty btight? On my 8350, it's also white, but I feel it could be brighter. Anyone else with any feedback feel free. I would love to hear m...

$239.99 full retail but if its been over 1 year you can renew your contract to two years and get the phone at sale pice 69.99 after a $50 rebate.

Thanks honors21! I really appreciate the info. I have to call Verizon and check to see if it's been a year. Geez, don't even remember. It's not so bad even at retail. I have seen some of them for well over $300.00 and then some. Can anyone tell me if the backlight on the keypad is pretty bright? Like I said on my 8350, it's also white, but could be a lot brighter. Someone said that the keypad turns a blue color when music is played. I always gravitated to LG phones which I think are great. Motorola to me was so so. Hopefully this Motorola is a lot better then some out there with that brand. Would love to hear from more of you out there who have this phone and what you think, thanks again!! 🙂

I decided to give this phone a try after my last 2 phones have been the Samsung a650 & a930. So I'm trying to get back into using Motorola. So far I've had good reception with it, but at least on my phone, V-Cast has been disappointing with my phone. Even if I'm near the tower, EVDO signal is weak, and doesn't always connect to V-Cast. 1X is unaffected by it though.
After playing around with some settings, I did manage to get the ringer loud, and matches that with my Samsung a930. Speakerphone is actually better than my Samsung a930, but the speaker on the Motorola W755 is on the bottom back. So you have to know how to hold the phone if you use the speakerphone. If you like the music player, it allows you to use mp3 files, and th...

I forgot to add. If there's a Circuit City in you area, go there to see what the price is. I don't know how much Circuit City was, but I got it for $50 with my NE2. So if I keep this phone, then with the rebate, I'll get it free. I didn't ask (dumbass me) because the phone wasn't on display. It was in the cabinet, and I had to ask for it. The one Verizon Wireless inside Circuit City in Hobart Indiana had available for the demo was the purple model. I got the black one though.

Thanks everyone for your feedback! Sounds like a decent phone. If anyone else wants to add a comment, feel free. I should just go to Verizon and play with it before I make my decision. I was also asking about the brightness of the lighted keypad. I now have the LG VX 8350. The light on the keypad is also white, but it could be brighter. How is it on the Motorola? And someone said the light turns blue if you play music on it? Would be glad to hear from anyone else who would like to comment. Thanks again to everyone! 😁

Hello I have a 8350 as well. I went to the VZ store to check out the Moto. When you open the phone the keypad is a blue color not white.
...
Thanks for the info tourman! Maybe it was just the lighting in the store, it looked white. Can you tell me if it's a fairly bright blue? Some keypads are darker and brighter than others. Personally, I have always loved a blue backlit keypad. It's o.k. on 8350, but the white keypad, I feel should be a little brighter. Thanks again for the rsponse, really appreciate it! 😁

My keypad is white unless opening music or the camera it turns a bright blue
...
The keypad is definitely white unless you are playing music or using the camera, then it turns blue, looks kinda purplish in some light. It's not like a flashlight, but it's bright enough and the #s are very large for dialing...
...
Hmmmmmm. You know what sorry trop but they may be right. When I used it in the store there was a bright light above me. The keypad may be white.
...
Thanks to everyone who gave feedback on this phone. Really helped me a lot. I just have to go and play with it some, and make my decision from there. Everyone was pretty positive about this model, and it got plenty of rave reviews on this website. If I end up getting it, I will let all you know how I like it. Thanks again! 😁

I saw this at a VZW store today, looked pretty nice. Then he told me I would need to upgrademy plan to a new plan because of the Rhapsody player. I have the Americas Choice 1000 minute plan from 2-3 years ago & don't want to change. Also, I was a VZW Salesman for 3 years ending in 2005 & I don't remember issues like this where you needed to change a plan, just add features to the current plan. Any current reps who can confirm? Sorry this is so long. 😕
