Guys

Just picked up the W385 Moto..

It's about the size of the Krzr but has a gorgeous Rubberized Finish.. Keypad is by far the best Moto has ever put out on any phone they have built and I mean it..

Yes it's a basic phone so alot of people wont care but the main features are nice. I have not activated it yet , later tonight but the speaker phone is loud and the bluetooth is I think the first moto 2.0 and should be awesome.. I tried the voice dialing and it's fast.

NO RED BARS !!! YEAH !!

It has black bars with the green graphics like the LG's... Very cool.

Screen is very small but very usable and the outside screen is basic but incredibly readable outside or inside no problem..

I have to test battery life and voice qua...

Thanks for the report, Craig. I'm very interested in this phone, but have been unable to locate a matching belt clip for it. Are you using one you can recommend? Any word on when/if Motorola will make one available?

Craig,
Do you have a link to this phone?
I searched Verizon's site and Motorola's and it wasn't on either site.
Thanks!

Information is, indeed, very "thin" on this phone (which appears to be a Best Buy exclusive). Here are a couple of the links I used:

If I could just find accessories (like a belt clip) for the phone, I'd go get one...

Despite the fact that none of the Verizon stores/kiosks in my area seem to have heard of this phone (much less have it in stock), it appeared on Verizon's web site today. (So much for the "Best Buy exclusive" story they gave me a couple of days ago.)

Best Buy has them in stock, but has no accessories. The Verizon reps with whom I spoke today claim they should have the phones (and accessories) in "a few weeks."

Army, You know I am all about Sams and LG and my last choice was always Moto..

The maxx is crap and the Krzr is crap , I know..

Dude, this phone is sick (Good)... It's voice DAC/Quality is the best we have heard ever. The speaker phone is unreal.. I am telling you the best ever on any phone.

The keypad is the best on any phone.. It's a new keypad that rocks like you cant believe. I can text at about 900 words a minute 🙂

Speaker phone when closed - no problem -

Sick loud ringtones !!

Takes Mp3 ringers over VZWpix no problem,

Bluetooth is the best implementation yet. Solid and clear and no echo to anyone.

Best voice dialing we have ever seen.. It does anything 1st time.

The phone is insanely good.. I mean really r...

It's a little scary looking, frankly. The first time I saw the picture of this phone, the first word I thought of was Cyclopes.

I have been tricked by Moto multiple times..I will waite a few months before i start pushing this product on myself or any customers. Everytime they come out with a new one and I give in I regret it a few months later!


Moto Sux until proven otherwise...still waiting for them to get their act together.

maybe this one will be it!
