Please could anyone tell me how you get predictive text on these phones? Thanks.

I have had this phone for a few months, I had the W375 before & liked it very much but as it did not have Bluetooth I decided to buy the W377. I agree that there is very little information supplied with the phone but as I already had the W375 I did not find it to be a problem, until I tried to pair a Bluetooth headset. I Googled, pairing W377 with Bluetooth & found a PDF on the Motorola site, I followed the instructions given & now I have Bluetooth. I now have a really good phone with a headset.

I have ordered this phone for £30 off the Internet. I do not know what colour was best to get though grey or pink. I chose pink as I quite girly but some people are saying pink looks fake is it true? Thanks.

My dad is 80 & wanted a mobile phone he could use easily in an emergency.
This was shown to us by the manager of the Carphone Warehouse shop.
It was £24.99 plus £10 top up. Dad said he could see the numbers pretty well & it seemed easy for him to use so we bought it.
We didn't even know it had a camera or a radio or Bluetooth.
He is very pleased with it & has already taken a few photos with it.
The only downside is the lack of a manual so we are still trying to find things out we didn't know you could use it on speaker I just read that here.

FEATURES & USABILITY ARE ONLY 50% BASICALLY BECAUSE I am HAVING DIFFICULTY TRYING TO WORK OUT WHERE EVERYTHING IS. I am NOT VERY GOOD WITH PHONES & A PROPER MANUAL WOULD REALLY HELP ME. THIS SEEMS TO BE the PROBLEM WITH MOST OF the REVIEWS I'VE READ, HAVING SAID THAT, ITS A GREAT WEE PHONE FOR the PRICE. HELP US OUT Motorola & PRODUCE A PROPER MANUAL.

Got one for me & one for my husband on T Mobile PAYG quite cheap but not got MP3 on these. Tried downloading a ringtone from T Mobiles website & that didn't work. Love the radio though, the ring volume is loud enough to hear when it's in my bag & I am used to the texting now & the battery is sufficient for my needs, but the problem we're having is with Bluetooth, neither of us has had Bluetooth before so we thought we were doing something wrong, but neither phones can find any devices so if anybody could help us would be appreciated.

I wanted a cheap flip phone so that the keys wouldn't keep phoning Australia on its own & so that the screen wouldn't get scratched in my pocket. I also needed it on Virgin, so this was my only option. Luckily it's a perfectly good, usable phone. The only thing I don't like is the Betamax, I mean iTap Texting system. I wonder how many sales Motorola lose because of it.

Reviewer: Richard Phair - Woking, UK

This phone is lovely to hold, clear buttons which are very hard to get now days, well spread which helps when texting.

This is by no means a top of the range phone but let's be honest you don't need much on a phone just the capability to phone & text, a little disappointed with the memory as I always like to add my own ring tones & theme, & be able to change the wallpaper to something a little more interesting, although this is possible the phone can only hold so much data. Other than that if all you need is a stylish phone to text & call your friends then this is an ideal phone & I would recommend this phone to anyone. I love it.

One other thing, the easy start booklet is very limited with information, luckily for me I owned a RAZR before so I pretty much knew how to use this phone before I brought it as all the features are pretty much the same, Motorola need to add a manual for new users, to make this phone more user friendly.

Couldn't work out how to get date & time on incoming texts.

Start up guide poor & unable to get in contact with Motorola for support. Back of phone wouldn't click into place & had to return it.

I just wanted a phone that I could make calls on, & text. I had a much dearer phone that went wrong very quickly & was completely fed up with because of it. So, saw this deal & bought the phone. It is absolutely brilliant. Slim, easy to use, does what I need it to do. Could do with a more extended manual though! Took me a while to work out where things were & what they did. But, this is a great budget phone, stylish & practical. Definitely Recommended!

I LIKE the PHONE.

I AM WITH VIRGIN MEDIA & HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO DOWNLOAD ONE TUNE HAVE TO DOWNLOAD PHOTOS OFF the Internet SOMEHOW?

I AM LOOKING TO BUY ANOTHER PHONE WHERE I CAN DOWNLOAD MORE TUNES & PHOTOS STRAIGHT TO the PHONE.

JS, just press the 1 key wherever you want an apostrophe, e.g. For can't key in can1t. I am old fashioned too! :-)

I've had this phone nearly 2 months & I love it. Battery life is great, I am an average user & I can get 5 days out of it. My Samsung D600 had to be charged every 3 days with the same usage. Lack of video & flashy camera doesn't bother me, but the 2 or 3 photos I've taken are surprisingly good quality. Reception is great even in the local blackspots & call quality is excellent, I often have to turn the volume down during calls. Used the loudspeaker in the car & can hear & be heard OK. The icon display is very useful & was the main reason I got this phone. I was sick of having to press a key to see if I'd missed anything! I also think the phone is good looking (got the grey/silver version) & a few friends have said it looks pricier than it is.

Only bad point would be the very basic instruction leaflet. Not great for anyone who's not used to mobiles & doesn't have access to the Internet to learn about their phone.

Call me old fashioned but I like to use an apostrophe when texting, annoyingly it is 18 clicks of the number ONE button, or you have to go through a selection process to use symbols & then scroll through to select it, & then you have to deselect symbols to go back to writing your text. Come on Motorola, think about it!

Reviewer: Kate - UK
Date: 8th Mar 2008

This is a nice phone which is easy to use, but has some irritating features. Does anyone know if there's a way to add frequently used words to the predictive text dictionary? & it would be a lot easier if the big central menu button meant OK rather than menu. I am used to an old Sagem with that design & keep making mistakes. Otherwise, pretty good, & looks great, at a bargain price (£40, but with £10 airtime & £10 refund to come on old phone).

The phon is cool, I recommend it, BUT , I have problems with downloading music onto the phone, it doesn't have a lot of music memory either.

But I love it ;) I think I might upgrade it for a Viewty or a prada.

I am going to buy A prada or A viewty, can somone tell me which one is better?

My Sony Ericsson W610i is being fixed. I didn't want to have some rubbish phone that Vodafone supplied me. So I bought this little beauty as a temporary phone. I love it! The design is lovely, the camera is surprisingly better than I thought it would be. I love the simple layout of the Motorola menu. Texting is slower than the W610i but it doesn't really matter. I wanted a budget phone & as budget phones go it's a superb handset.

Although it can't compare to the W610i (Obviously! ) it's still amazing. Well worth the money.

I cannot connect the phone by Bluetooth to my car as it does not get register here nor can I transmit pictures to my PC by blue tooth connection although it is well register in the PC. With my Nokia phones I did not have this problem. Anybody who can tell me how?

Reviewer: James Smith - Derby, UK

I work for Virgin mobile & despite getting crazy discounts on all sorts of phones I opted for the W377. I paid £25 for mine (though got my brother one for £10.00 on this website, sorry you guys missed that one) & could not be happier.

Favourite features, FM radio (though you need ears like a giant to use the free headphones) & a full version of Tetris. If any one finds the battery is letting them down DO NOT RETURN TO STORE!

- Remove battery & SIM card.
- Hold power button in for ten seconds.
- Charge for 16 hours.

The indicators on the front are useful. & the clamshell design is very practical.

I just love the Motorola W377 its sleek & it has a cool design the colours white & black are good on the phone don't buy the pink one, the pink one looks kind of a fake!

A good value phone for the money. Well designed, nice feel, & easy to operate with keys that are large enough to press without too many misfires. Clear audio & easy to adjust external volume keys. The USB facility is a definite plus downloading & uploading is quick & hassle free.

On the downside, the screen could be a little larger, plenty of room if the Motorola logo was moved elsewhere. FM radio? A more powerful camera would have been better. I am not a fan of predictive text & was disappointed to see that, unlike the V235, the ordinary tap mode does not auto complete frequently used words.

The quick start manual was not much use, but I have found that most of the phone's features are similar to the W375 & there is a more comprehensive manual for that.

Overall verdict, Very good.

Bought on Virgin Network for £39.99 including a Motorola Bluetooth Headset H350. I too received an unwanted SIM joining pack so I am waiting for a jiffy bag to return the SIM for a £10 refund. I am wondering if they send these out on purpose in the hope you may pass them on to another potential subscriber! Great stylish phone, if only I could work out how everything works. I've contacted Motorola & Virgin & Motorola tell me they have not produced a user manual for this phone. They suggest taking a look online at the instructions for the W375 which they say is similar, pathetic! What would you do if didn't have easy Internet access? So I can only give 60% for usability, I just don't know how some features work! The Getting Started Leaflet provided is inadequate. I am sure in time I shall be very satisfied with this phone but I am not impressed with the lack of detailed information..

Bought for my wife & she is telling me what to say. Nice to handle, nice to use, but why oh why NO user manual, ONLY a quick start guide. As she is not technical lots got to figure out with no book OR download from Motorola?

I love the phone, but do have one problem, which is when I connect to my PC & try to download a photo to the phone, it just sends it back to the PC. I have phoned Virgin, who I bought it from & Motorola. I have a job reference number & am waiting for someone to come back to me to see what the problem is. Hope someone can help.

Absolutely splendid phone.

Bought from Virgin mobile for £39.99, but they included a sim card (unasked for) so that's £10 refund; & there was a £10 air time voucher in the box, so that brings the phone down to an amazing £19.99!

A couple of months ago I upgraded from an old Motorola to the Samsung J600. What a mistake! Nasty stroking keys, cheap & flimsy feel.

With the W377, I feel like I've come home! Yes, I know that sounds cheesy.

Brilliant I got this as a reward from virgin mobile, I had 30 pounds reward & the phone was 29.99 has all I need in a phone, texts Bluetooth & a camera, I not very bothered about a camera, & its pink its cool dead easy to use too, I can't see anything wrong with this phone at all.

Reviewer: Richard Hodges - Loughborough, UK
Date: 19th Dec 2007

Bought this phone for £25 yes £25 including a FREE Bluetooth device. Not that I'll be wearing that much, who wants to walk around looking like that!

Anyway, I wanted a PHONE to make PHONE CALLS on with a Voicemail, & that's exactly what I've got. Job done.

There seems, however, to be some moaners out there. If you want a decent camera, buy a digital camera. If you want an MP3 player, buy one or an iPod.

& as for texting, oh please! Spare me the thumb twiddler's wasting their lives away. They've got a PHONE in their hands, USE IT!

Stop moaning folks, this is a neat phone at a great price. Not bad looking either, thanks Motorola. It'll do for me.
