Using this phone at the moment. Firmware is very slow, you'll have problem typing sms. Games are unplayable also due to the speed. Screen is dark. Rubber keys. Look like a remote control in flesh (plastic actually), it's a love or hate design. Inbox 600 sms. Overall, good for the price. Don't get this phone if you're into texting.

w181 is standard mobile phone
1.why the usb on this phone is not for transfer data? ( it's good if we can change the wallpaper or change the game )
2.it's my comment about motorola mobile phone " wow music " design in this year : " bad specification / not interested "
let's look at the " e398 and rokr e1 ",
i think "e 398 & rokr e1" is good design of motorola mobilephone in 2004-2006
( usb,mini sd card,we can change wallpaper, bluetooth,mp3/mpeg4 player,vga camera,video )
many people ( teenage ) in indonesia like use this type

boyz I searched for 2-3 hours on net,for such kind of phone with only fm facility and not all the mp3,camera,blutooth features. And as soon as I saw the this phone,i fall in love with it,a lot.Alredy i have nokia 3230 with all multimedi features but i am going to sale it and take A new MOTO W181.BECAUSE I am so bored of my heavy phone and of listening the same music again and agian on the mp3 player and watching same videos. so i am going to ale my phone and to take this. Anoter thing is the mega long battery back up, so guys just have it n enjoy the real 'PHONE'. not a multimedia dabba.

I just got this phone yesterday and it's a little bit more than basic (calling and texting) as it has an FM radio. It claims to have a long battery life but that I'll have to see.

Yeah, not everyone wants those battery-draining features. It's a phone to begin with.

Price-wise, this is cheap phone; but it is quite nice & easy to use....with loud & quality sound, a build-in radio & a very long standby & talk time at such a bargain price.

This is definately a good buy as a spare phone or for people not looking for anything fancy.

Well done Moto!

yes its true you have to switch every time for deleivery report in moto also in mid range devices you can not record conversation. one thing i would like to share that moto people do not beleive in feed back for upgradation and these small small thing are making them performing very poor.and day is not very far when one of our indian brand will capture this brand.

Good for texting and all that

Design 3/10
Features 2/10
Usability 4/10 only good for texting.

I think it's a good budget phone, there's nothing wrong with it.

you guys are idiots, why would a phone company make every phone the best phone, with every feature and a super camera? not everyone wants an 80 mp camera and a 20" touch screen

incase you guys dont notice..

the phone (and its non-colour brother), are solely for third world country use. noticing the 7 AFRICAN and HINDI languages, i highly doubt it will be sold in most countries.

also, it doesnt have a camera and bluetooth, and all those other features as to conserve battery life.

Yep, I knew since the beginning of 2005, this is the future of Motorola, so far.
