I have never had a dropped call with this phone, nor any problems. Build quality is great the phone never felt like it was going to fall apart. The internal memory is small so if you plan on downloading alot of stuff the phone will eventualy bog down making it harder to use. Plus start up is rather slow. I would reccomend this phonw if not for only one thing with the new Motorola W376 avaliable would be the better buy with its camera, bluetooth and a larger memory 10mb. Overall this is a good phone, but with todays market spring for the W376 instead its the same phone only better.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1162 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1162&r=32740#review32740 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1162&r=32740#review32740 Mon, 19 Jan 2009 19:01:22 GMT <p><i>davejag submitted this review of the Motorola W370:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I recently traded in an LG model phone (from TracFone) and upgraded to the Motorola W370. I am extremely pleased with the reception on this phone as it is infinitely better than my LG and even my earlier Verizon phone. Places that used to be 'Dead Zones' to me before are now fully accessible. It's amazing.<br />The only negative I have about this phone is that the keypad has a unique touch to it that takes some getting used to. It is easy to hit the wrong number. I'm sure this will change as I get used to it, but it is the only annoyance I have suffered.<br />The phone has a nice look and feel, and the charge time is good, though nothing exceptional. <br />If you are having trouble getting a signal where you need it, I strongly recommend this phone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1162 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1162&r=30245#review30245 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1162&r=30245#review30245 Thu, 31 Jul 2008 05:24:58 GMT <p><i>VWBOY1992 submitted this review of the Motorola W370:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>i bought this phone from tracfone after using virgin mobile and verizon prepaid phone plans and i came to find that tracfone was the best value for what i use a phone for (Talking and a little texting..simple). The motow370 is good for people who want a reliable phone that doesnt cost alot to keep running. I put a card on there once a month and my service wont even expire until late 2010 because each card gives you 90 days more service past what you already have. this means you dont have to be in a rush to use your minutes.<br />pros-reliable,simple(no camera), indicator lights that tell you when you have a msg, call, etc., and downloadable wallpapers and ringtones to personalize it. you can also order cool faceplates which are plastic covers that come in all colors that serve for style and protect your phone.<br />cons-slow internet browser and small screen</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1162 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1162&r=29146#review29146 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1162&r=29146#review29146 Fri, 30 May 2008 01:22:10 GMT <p><i>brandon4268 submitted this review of the Motorola W370:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I have had the Motorola w370 prepaid tracfone for a few months now.

I've read various negative reviews about them but my relationship, for the most part, has been good. The customer service reps may not be well versed in English but sometimes that means just being a little more polite and patient. For someone like me who is not a frequent cell phone user, this is the perfect fit - the way I figure it, for $100/year, I get all the cell phone service I need.<br /><br />As for the Motorola W370, it was just what I was expecting. Nobody said it was a camera phone or that it could play music or all the other things we see today. It's a phone, and a good one at that. My land line service here in rural east Tennessee isn't the greatest. My mother, who lives in Florida, can't always hear me on the regular phone. I called her on my W370 today. She didn't know this and remarked at how much better I sounded. The price was right - the current promotion is a price right around $50 and they throw in a double minutes for life deal. So, since I buy the $100 annual card with 400 minutes, I now get 800 minutes. That works out to 12.5 cents/minute. I think that's a pretty good deal<br /><br />Would I recommend TracFone and this particular phone? Sure, but be realistic - TracFone isn't for the person who hangs on the phone 24/7. If you want a phone with all the latest bells and whistles, this isn't your phone. But, if you want a good phone (emphasis on "phone") and you're an infrequent user, then TracFone, and this phone in particular, may be just right for you.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1162 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1162&r=28671#review28671 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1162&r=28671#review28671 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 15:16:21 GMT <p><i>Zyrilia submitted this review of the Motorola W370:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I've had this Motorola W370 (with Tracfone service) for several months now, and I'm very happy with it. It's a HUGE improvement over the Nokia 1100, IMO. <br /><br />The phone is fairly durable - I drop it several times a month, it seems, and it still works, and has only a few minor surface blemishes due to unfortunate meetings with asphalt. <br /><br />We've gotten great reception in most areas, and the overall sound quality is good. The speaker phone option is NOT all that easy to hear, but I don't use it often, anyhow, so it's not a major problem. For long trips, the passenger makes all the calls anyhow - I'm going to get a hand-free cable just in case, though.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1162 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1162&r=28667#review28667 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1162&r=28667#review28667 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 01:55:43 GMT <p><i>NCS1 submitted this review of the Motorola W370:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I've had the Motorola W370 (from TracFone) for about a month now. I am very satisfied with it overall. I switched from the Sanyo Katana and the 2 phones are very similiar, with the RAZR like design and lay out, so the transition was very easy. The W370 is a great basic phone. I don't really need a lot of extras on my cell, I just want to make and receive clear calls and send and receive an occasional text message. This is the perfect phone for that. I've had no problem with reception, not enough bars or no service. The calls are crystal clear every time. I don't need to take pictures (they are a pain to get off the phone with a data cable anyway, in my opinion). I'll use my digital camera for that. As far as the non bluetooth earpiece, that is fine with me too. With my TracFone minutes ticking away, I don't plan on staying on the phone long enough to need a headphone anyhow. I like the way the phone looks as well, with the gray and black colors. Very sleek and modern. The phone is a bit too plastic-y to me, I hope it lasts for the long haul and can stand the inevitable drop or 2 on the floor. Also, the display is a bit too small and the keys are as well, I find myself hitting the wrong buttons by accident. But all the minuses are extremely minor to me. The phone does the job I need it to and in a great way. That's all that matters.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1162 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1162&r=28297#review28297 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1162&r=28297#review28297 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 13:00:41 GMT <p><i>cherylg submitted this review of the Motorola W370:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I purchased this phone online from the Trac Phone site and have not been able to use it yet. It came with the wrong charger, and it has been very annoying trying to get through to the supprt team that I need another charger, but I finally got it through to them.

It's not even *made* by Motorola! <br /><br />However, having said that, if all you need is a phone to *just* make phone calls, and you do not need any fancy features, no camera, no video, no MMS, no Internet, then maybe this is a good choice for you. It is very cheap for a Motorola.<br /><br />The good news is that although it is not made by Motorola, it does have a good GSM radio that has good RF signal capture in both the 850 and 1900 range. It's not quite as good as the K1, V8 or V9...but it's good and quite serviceable, entirely the equivalent of other phones costing more money.<br /><br />Not sure why they bothered even having a colour screen on an LCD with such low resolution. I think I'd have preferred black and white, honestly, in this kind of very basic phone.<br /><br />It works, and it has good signal capture. I have seen it sold for as low as $40 in many places, and if that's the kind of thing you need, this is a good choice.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1162 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1162&r=28154#review28154 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1162&r=28154#review28154 Mon, 10 Mar 2008 02:33:48 GMT <p><i>gab5 submitted this review of the Motorola W370:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Having spent the better part of 30 years in the American Corporate sector, retiring as a Program Mgr, cellular phones became a "must have" item for me in the 80's. That is, I was truly an "early adopter," and remember wireless phones since their infancy.<br /><br />Having said that, and having "had my fill" of cell phones, the associated contract expenses and an appreciation of privacy, I opted out out wireless phones altogther for a couple of years.<br /><br />Then, in 2006, I discovered the emerging market of pre-paid phones and decided to purchase one from tracfone - primarily for emergency road service or those 8-10 times a year that I would have otherwise had to stop and use a payphone.<br /><br />Started with a Nokia 2126 which served me nicely for almost two years. Then, after experiencing problems with the keypad, I bought a Motorola V170 about 3 weeks ago. Huge Mistake. Even at $29.95, it was a very poor phone - the older Nokia, having been far superior.<br /><br />So....." for $49.95 and bought the Motorola W370.

I tried a T-Mobile and could not get a connection at my house. My next step was to try a Net-10 Nokia 1100. Nice little phone except that the volume was so low I had trouble hearing. No problem with connection though. After investigation I purchased a Motorola W370 (also from Net-10). Amazing difference in volume. I've seen this described as a "basic" phone, however it has all the bells and whistles that I need. I've also seen complaints about battery life. Turn off all the screen savers, wallpaper, etc. I can go a week without a recharge. Like the Nokia, coverage is great. Overall a good experience with the phone and with Net-10.

I have an undergound parking garage, and I still get a signal, with my previous phones, there was no service. Yes, the phone is a runs a bit slow, and mine is has some mispellings in the menu ("dialed" is spelled "dialled" and "centered" is spelled "centred"), but I don't look at thoses most of the time anyway.

As for doing the things that really count, like having a nice clear display and good audio performance its perfectly fine in a nice elegant package to boot.

I consider it to be superior to all prepaid cell phones( which I have had plenty of experience with) and almost all of the of the contract phones. It is pretty and simple and has lots of features. If you want a great cell phone this is the way to go. It is certainly in the same class as the Razr and Krzr and is a lot simpler too. Since it doesn't have a camera, it should be perfect for parents who want heir kid to have a nice phone but one without a camera( there have incidents that were inappropriate involve camera phones.)
