Motorola W376g Reviews

1. My W376g - nice phone with some minor complaints

I purchased my W376g at the local discount store along with some extra minutes. I took it home and activation was quick and easy using my computer. It is a nice looking clamshell type phone that is rugged enough to carry in my pocket, though I purchased a belt holster for it.

 

Over all this is a good phone with some nice features.

Pros

Bright easy to read screen. Loud and clear audio, Many ringtones available (but only from TRACFONE). Downloading a ringtone was easy.

I do like having a camera phone to be able to capture pictures on the spot.

Cons

Battery life is nowhere near what is advertised. I get no more than 2-3 days before needing to charge again and this is not all talk time, and no texting or email. I do not use bluetootk or the fm radio functions. I am looking for a larger replcement battery (with a larger replacement cover). A larger battery would help make up for the sin of short battery life.

My only other complaint concerns the too-easily-hit browser button. There should be a way to lock it out.

3. Great

This phone is great. I've had it for a week and have charged it once, after heavy use for 4 days. I like the camera, and the games are much better than the ones on my old phone. Also, if you are getting this phone, but don't have it, the pictures show the strip as black, but it is really a strip of a mirror like surface with the lights that go through. Texting is nice, this phone has iTap, which gets better as you use it as it figures out what words you type more than others with the same combination of keys. I really like this phone and reccomend it to anyone who doesn't mind not having internet or full usb/Bluetooth capabilities.

I bought this phone thinking I would have it activated in 5 minutes.
I was wrong. when I activated online they displayed an error message and told me to call customer service. When I called them the told me to send my phone back to get a different one.

I think it would have been a good phone otherwise

5. BATTERY LIFE TOO SHORT

I bought this phone thru tracfone. I dont use it much, mostly in case of emergencies. I hardly ever had to charge my old NOKIA. This phone is constantly losing power, and I have to charge it atleast every 3-4 days, and I dont even talk on it. Have it on standby. Other than that, is is a decent phone for the price I paid.

6. Decent for a Tracfone

The phone looks great, keys look/feel/operate very well, well-sized. Volume is good, conversations very good, text messaging is a breeze. Icons on outside make it easy to know when you have messages, call, or when battery is charging/fully charged. As a Tracfone, the internet is severely limited, you can only go to www.tracfone.com and view limited content, and must view their chosen content. Bluetooth and USB connectivity is also limited - you cannot connect this phone to a PC. You can connect to a Bluetooth headset. USB is only for using the included AC charger. Camera is just VGA, but works well, easy to use.

Main complaint I have so far - battery charge life. I have to charge this every 2-3 days, even though I don't talk a lot on it (on standby most of the time). Thought I would have gotten more standby time than that.

The only thing I don't like is the Browser key. It is easy to hit my mistake.
