Strengths: Good sound, good reception, good battery life, bluetooth compatible, power charging through usb port
Weaknesses: poor camera resolution only up to 640x480, no many ring tones
Summary: It has better voice quality and good reception than my old LG phone VX3400. the battery life is good and the battery can last for about a week in standby mode. It is comfortable to grip since the rear and front of the phone is covered with black rubbery material. It is thin and easy to put into pocket. The cell phone is bluetooth compatible, which I can use my bluetooth headset. Moreover, the cell phone can be charged through the usb port. You can use computer or laptop usb port to charge the cell phone. The pictures taken from the phone are poor. It is only up to 640x480, which is kind of lack behind, compared to other cell phones. Besides, there are not many ring tones loaded in the cell phones. However, if you are looking for a simple, good sound, and sleek phone, this phone will not disappoint you.

Strengths: good battery life, excellent sound quality, bluetooth compatable, speaker phone
Weaknesses: small screen, low-end ring tones, over sensitive voice dial.
Summary: This is one of the best phones I've ever owned. I got back in October it as a replacement phone for the Motorola V276 phone through Verizon Wireless and I must say that while I was skeptical at first, it didn't take me long to absolutely fall in love with this phone.The primary thing I like about it is that it's bluetooth compatable. It has a bit of quirkyness with the bluetooth headset sometimes, but that's a minor issue.The sound reception through the handset or speaker phone is excellent, I find myself needing to adjust the volume sometimes because it's too loud. But again, that's a minor issue. The signal strength is never less than 2 bars, even inside the shop where I work. I like the feel of the phone in my hand, it's not bulky or heavy, but it's not flimsy either. It's very sleek and stylish and I've had qutie a few people tell me it looks like a Motorola Krazr. The battery holds a solid charge for a few days without using the phone and for about a day and a half if you use the Moblie Web, text, or make and receive calls. Battery life is a big deal with me after the last phone I owned and I am not disappointed with this one at all.The keys are backlit in blue and the direcitonal key is backlit in red. The rubber coating on the phone makes it easier to hold on to and easy to keep clean.The screen size is too small for my liking but that being the only major thing I don't like about the phone, I'm willing to deal with it. The camera is low-end and only takes decent pictures in well lit areas or outdoors in the daytime. It works in a pinch....if you want a good digital camera, buy one, don't rely on camera phones.The only other complaint I have about this phone is how sensitive the voice-dial feature is. You need absolute silence when using this feature or you'll end up calling the wrong person. A minor issue, however, that's easily resolved by connecting the bluetooth device.If you're in the market for a solid, reliable phone without too many bells and whistles, I'd highly recommend the Motorola W385 from Verizon Wireless. You won't be disappointed.

Strengths: Makes and receives calls with excellent clarity. Nice look, does not show fingerprints like KRZR. Nice ringers. Solid battery life.
Weaknesses: Camera is very low resolution, useful only for on phone viewing, not transferring. Wish it was a little smaller.
Summary: Works great. This is a solid entry level phone I received from Verizon. Numbers are easy to push, no fumbling or sliding. If you want something simple, without bells and whistles, this is your phone!

Strengths: "W385 provides great performance without all the bells whistles"
Weaknesses: Display is too small
Summary: I think the number one feature of any cell phone is whether it is a good cell phone...not a MP3 player, camera, or TV. I have owned the phone for 3 weeks and I really only needed a cell phone and maybe an occasional picture. This phone performs great with good reception and long battery life. The only complaint is the small viewing screen when the phone is closed, its hard to see incoming phone info.
