Motorola W755 Phone

Permalink: Motorola W755 Phone by Franz Bicar

There hasn’t been a lot of activity from Motorola this year. In fact, there hasn’t been a single device from Motorola that made waves since their Motorola Razr phones. Well, that might change with the Motorola W755 released by Verizon Wireless. Actually, the W755 doesn’t have anything new up its sleeve. It just earn points for just being reliable and solid - which for most user, is the more important characteristic in a phone.

As mentioned, the W755’s design isn’t very inspiring, in fact, it looks so much like previous phones from Motorola. It has a slim design with a square external display and a tiny camera lens just above. It is a tall and narrow device measuring at only 3.9 inches by 1.9 inches by 0.68 inch. Its profile isn’t quite as trim, but it still manages to cast a svelte shadow. The phone feels very comfortable when held and is very sturdy indeed.

The W755 has a 1-inch external display that supports 65,000 colors and 96×80 pixels. You can see the date, time, battery life, signal strength, and caller ID on the display. It also supports photo caller ID and can function as a camera lens. Around its display are the touch controls for its built-in music player. This allows you to manage the player and manage your playlist without even opening the phone. Other external buttons include a voice dialing button on the right spine and a volume rocker and the Moto smart key on the left spine.

Its internal display is a bit small for a phone at this level. Its 1.9-inch internal display supports 65,000 colors or 220×176 pixels which is very bright and vibrant. Below this are navigation buttons that includes a four-way toggle with a central OK button, two soft keys, the talk and End/power control, a clear key, and a camera/camcorder shortcut.

Next, let’s go to the phone’s features. The Motorola W755 has a 1,000-contact phone book with room in each entry for five phone numbers, two e-mail addresses, and notes. You can organize contacts into caller groups and pair them with a photo or one of 20 polyphonic ringtones. Other essentials include a vibrate mode, text and multimedia messaging, call recoding, a calculator, a calendar, an alarm clock, a world clock, a notepad, a voice recorder, and a speakerphone. In addition to this, the phone also features e-mail and instant messaging, USB mass storage, PC syncing, speaker-independent voice commands, and full Bluetooth with a stereo profile.

The W755 comes in with a built-in 1.3-megapixel camera that could take pictures in four different resolutions. It has a self-timer, brightness, and white balance settings, three color effects, a 4x digital zoom, nine fun frames, and four shutter sounds. Its camera can also function as a camcorder that shoots clips with sound in one resolution. Videos meant for multimedia messages are capped at 1 minute, 25 seconds; otherwise, you can shoot for as long as the available memory permits.

Photo quality on this phone is okay, but then, most of our standards have risen due to the increasing popularity of 5-megapixel camera phones. Colors are bright, objects are defined, and photos are free of excessive noise.

The V755 has a rated battery life of 3.67 hours talk time and 16.25 days standby time.
