THEATERMAX? is the w385 still worth getting IYHO

Jul 12, 2007, 7:41 PM
I have read your previous posts about the moto w385 from a couple weeks ago and I was just wondering if you still think that it is the phone to get? I am looking for amazing reception and decent battery life...just wondering how things have held up for you with it? are you keeping it?? Thank you.

I would say yes... I have sold quite a few and everyone seems to love em' It is a durable KRZR for the most part(minus music) but is a nice slim phone for a reasonable price.

Yes yes yes

I just got the belt clip and it too is awesome..

Now the phone is great to carry and great to use

By far the best overall lower end phone to hit VZW in years !!

Reception so far is as good as my 8300 and other few phones we have..

It's really a good phone !

I was just a little worried it might not have the same reception as the V325i because it doesn't have an external antenna. Lots of people here claim the antenna is a big deal.

the 385 is picking up better than my razr and many other models i have had at my house, i live on a fringe area so Service is hit and miss. So far I have had no issues with mine

had mine for over a week, still very impressed with the build and sound quality of this phone. much better than razr and krazr if you don't need that extra data crap.

menus are fast, bluetooth clear, battery good, sent some ringtones to it with no issues, navigator worked fast and sounded great through the speakerphone.

Guys,

Yes it's been 30 days now and I cant believe how much I enjoy using this phone.

We did get the Verizon Black Belt Clip - It makes the phone even better.. For me, I find it the convenience of carrying the phone is crucial and when a clip works and looks this flat and nice, it's really great.

The phone is truly awesome, Reception is on par or better than anything else we have used, keypad wins the award for Verizon's best keypad ever on any phone. I can text and dial on this thing at 200MPH 🙂

Earpiece is 100% perfect and volume is great.

Speakerphone still blows my mind how great it is and bluetooth is the best implemented version we have ever seen.

So , yes guys this phone and it's incredible talk time and all it's pe...

Yes, but its a MOTO.

So the acid test is how well it's still holding up six months from now. 👀

Are you joking ?

The build quality is clear the minute you hold it.

It's probably the most rugged phone you have ever seen.

You can not compare it to anything else from VZW..

It's built like a Brick Sh#$T House !!

Can you throw it against the wall and have it survive? 😉 It might be built well, but G'zOne is built like a sh*T brick house.

I had the Gz'one and as much as I loved the feel, look and design and definitely the durability...I had a horrible reception with the phone.

Not sure if it's over 100 but it's 100 for sure.

Not the 50 LG gives you..
