Motorola W755 with Verizon package
Here’s one of them no-frills clamshell cellphones from Motorola. I guess they are getting lazy in designing something new the last few months. The Motorola W755 does not have any interesting features. Some specs include a bit outdated 2.5mm earphone jack, touch sensitive external buttons, V Cast, support for AAC, AMR NB, MIDI, MP3 and WMA V9 audio formats. The phone only comes in 2 colors - black or purple and will retail for a mere $69.99 after a Verizon contract and rebate.

I just got one, and I love the lack of frills!
Graphics are great, sound is great, and it does what it needs to do. The keypad is easy to read and text on.
Can’t put a ton of MP3’s on here but for the price, I wasn’t expecting a phone like that (…already own an MP3 player)
I am a college student on a budget, and got this phone for $19.99 after rebate.
Phone is a little thicker and heavier than rzr, but I wanted that…you can actually feel the phone.

We got two of these phones recently and while it’s an ok phone there are a few problems that are making me consider changing for another model.
First, the sound quality is a bit poor compared to all other phones I’ve ever owned. We both find the volume is too low, even when maxed out. The call quality also leaves me frequently straining to understand what the caller is saying.
My other complaint is the battery. If we use the phones for very long, calls or internet, the battery charge drops dramatically. I would suggest if you are going to get this phone to have a car charger in the least, a second battery would be even better. The battery also becomes quite hot when using the phone. The longer the phone is in use the hotter it gets. You can actually feel the heat through the keypad while you are talking. It becomes uncomfortable to actually use the phone if you are on it for very long.
The phone itself is quite sturdy and well made. It doesn’t feel like it would break easily. It is a bit heavy for my liking but for $19.99 it’s expected.
If you aren’t very concerned with call quality or volume then this may be a good phone for you. If you are looking for an actual phone then I would suggest moving on to other models.

I got this phone a week ago and really like it. It looks great but most importantly, the features are practical and the sound quality is quite good.
JB, I notice you found the sound too low - please check the phone setting called “voice privacy” - I don’t know if that has anything to do with that but my phone sounds just fine and I am actually not good of hearing! Also check if you have set the default volume too low.
It does look and feel sturdy and at least after a week of use, I am still happy with it

I just bought this phone, and I love it…except for the battery issue! I thought that there was a problem until I found folks posting online about how quickly the charge drops after talking on the phone. I am going to buy a second battery, and luckily, I have the car charger. Otherwise, I actually like the phone and lack of bells and whistles. I just want my phone for calls and texts, so for me, it’s good. (And, the kind folks at Verizon gave it to me for free with my government worker discount. Seemed they had a lot of different discounts and codes, so definitely ask!)

i got this phone a week ago and i love it. my only concern is that i cant turn my “sounds” into actual ringtones like i could with my other phone the samsung A950. The graphics are cool the phone is very sturdy i like the ringtones that were already on the phone. with a memory card i can hold up to 500 songs on my phone which is good because i love listening to music. all in all its a good phone and i am happy with my purchase.

I just recently purchased your w755 phone, and I also notice the battery loses the charge real fast, it was a surprised to me. Also Ive read other comments about this phone, they said they only payed $ 19.99 for this phone, why was I charged $ 50.oo + tax or is my phone a special. So far phone has worked well.
Thanks Dave Ceccone

I will try the phone for 25 days if it does not work to your specifications, I will want to return to you, for a better phone.
