A cheap but a bit nice phone
by xox2b on August 21, 2009
Pros: Even though its cheap, it has the ability to play mp3's( up to 320kbps bitrate), which no other phones in this price range can do.Another thing is its MicroSD support of up to 2GB which is nice.
Cons: The keypad is not snappy so texting is slow.Its not compatible with any headsets except the one included because the aux jack is just 2.5mm.Limited features too.
Summary: It scores high in music playback and battery life but it scores low in terms of ease of use and accesory compatibility.But, for the price nothing cheaper comes near....

Summary: It scores high in music playback and battery life but it scores low in terms of ease of use and accesory compatibility.But, for the price nothing cheaper comes near.However, I don't recommend it to buyers. But, if you are considering something like an Alcatel or another unknown brands, get this one instead. For music lovers, you should instead consider something like any phone in the Nokia Xpressmusic line or a phone which costs a bit more than this.

Summary: I purchased this phone from Global Access in Bangalore on Feb 25. I am repenting my decision every day. Do not buy if you have ever used a Nokia. The user interface on Motorola W230 YUVA is Disastrous to say the least. Many menu commands do not work. For example Recent Calls > select > view > store does not respond. There are many such commands which simply do not respond. When you enter a contact, it comes up with dictionary mode to enter name! Messaging is a tedious experience. To put a full stop it takes seven key strokes! Very unpredictable behavior. Music player is so-so. You cannot select a song and expect it to continue to play from there on. You need to press PLAY button every time a song gets over, manually select next and press PLAY! There is no missed call list. You have to look at the received call list and look for which ones are checked and which ones are not to figure out missed calls. Every day i am finding a new anomaly in this phone. Motorola needs to update its user interface, it is pre-historic user interface. It is not at all intuitive. Keys strokes respond very slowly. Takes ages to type. Just to type ‘no’ it takes more than 2seconds. Motorola does not respond to emails to customer care. No response to any complaints anywhere. I want to sell it for half the price.

- Manufacturer: Motorola
- Part number: MOTOW230
- Description: Tell the world you've arrived without saying a word. The handy W230 serves up both great mobile phone basics and a fantastic music experience, in a candy bar handset that you can show off with pride. Friendly features on the W230 such as long-lasting battery life, a mighty music player and Motorola's proprietary CrystalTalk audio-enhancing technology gives you a dependable experience. The W230 goes beyond basic phone features with multiple ways to stay in touch and up to approximately nine hours of talk time1. It can pack up to 500 text messages and phone contacts, and features an enhanced user interface, making it easy to create a text with one click. The W230 also offers Hinglish predictive text and regional support for seven African languages. Motorola's CrystalTalk technology enhances each phone call by helping reduce background noises, so calls will be loud and clear. Value and a great music experience come together in true harmony on the W230. Clean lines and a slim design make it extremely pocket-portable and the no-nonsense keypad and large color display are simple to use. The W230 struts its stuff in two pleasing color faceplates, licorice outlined in lustrous silver and dark titanium gray bordered in mandarin, that consumers can interchange at whim. The W230 proves its value even further with music features that keep consumers connected and entertained, including a dedicated music key. Consumers can make their ears dance with both an integrated digital audio player that supports MP3 and other popular formats, and an FM radio with RDS that can be played in stereo through headphones or on the W230's office-quality internal speaker. Store favorite songs on optional removable microSD cards with up to 2GB of memory and download new songs over the air via quick GRPS speeds.2,3
