Simple, functional and fashionable - MOTOFONE has the features you need and can count on plus the look you aspire for, at a price that fits your pocket. Billions of people around the world have yet to make a phone call - and billions more have only just begun to explore wireless technology. Technology can be intimidating however MOTOFONE is convenience in voice communication.

Price Range:  $45.99  -  $79.00

The crux of whether or not the MOTOFONE will appeal to you lies in its feature set — or lack thereof. It’s a GSM-capable mobile phone, which in the Australian market is locked to Optus — and it comes with a prepaid SIM in the box. It’ll do SMS, and you’ve got a choice of some very standard monophonic ring tones. That’s it, however — there’s no Bluetooth, GPRS, camera, GPS, 3G, HSDPA or even simple phone games. If you’re incurably addicted to features like this you’ll find the MOTOFONE vexatious in the extreme. Then again, it’s a phone, and it works. Why pay for stuff you don’t need or use?

In case it hasn’t sunk in yet, the MOTOFONE is just a basic phone, and as a basic phone it works quite well. Call clarity was good in our tests — those of a paranoid bent might like to note that the default call volume is quite loud — and battery life was fairly solid. Motorola rates it for up to 450 minutes talk time and up to 270 hours standby time — largely because when not in use the screen powers down to a simple digital clock display. In our testing, it lasted around three days heavy usage before needing recharging. This brought up one of our lesser concerns about the MOTOFONE, and that’s in the fact that it takes quite a while to recharge. This isn’t a concern if you’re an overnight recharger, but it’s not possible to do a quick recharge and get anything but a perfunctory charge into the MOTOFONE.

Motofone’s design follows the latest fashion trends. Certainly nobody had expected the cheapest phone on the market to be only 9 mm thin and thus being the slimmest Motorola ever. The other two dimensions are 114 x 47 mm. Its weight surprises too - meager 68 g. Despite of looking fragile the phone stands bending pretty successfully thanks to the solid and resistant plastic material used for its covers.

Summary of key features:

• Stylish thin design
• Durable housing for optimal performance despite dust and sun
• High-contrast screen using new ClearVision display
• Large font size for easy readability
• High-volume for call clarity in loud environments
• Embedded polyphonic ringtones in eight voices
• Ability to download ringtones

Built on the design of the impressive MOTOKRZR™, the Motorola W385 combines style with simplicity. Blending sleek lines with easy-to-use features, the W385 provides users with everything they want and need without overwhelming technology.

Offering easy and fashionable communication, the W385 is the complete package for the trendiest of the trendy to the simplest of the simple.

Price Range: $169.99 - $199.99

The similarities between the W385 and the Krzr will be obvious to any cell phone fan. Its dimensions are almost identical (3.9-inches tall by 1.8-inches wide by 0.71-inch thick vs. 4.05-inches tall by 1.73-inches wide by 0.67-inch thick for the Krzr) even if it looks a little more boxy. As 3.8 ounces, the W385 is half an ounce heavier than its predecessor, which gives it a somewhat sturdier feel in the hand. As mentioned earlier, the W385 does not sport the plate of hardened glass found on the Krzr; rather, it’s covered on its front and rear face with black, rubbery material. Yes, the W385 isn’t quite as stylish as its sibling–but we felt more comfortable banging it around.

This incredibly thin smartphone is a head-turner wherever it goes thanks to its sleek, lightweight design. You’ll be amazed at how much functionality is packed into the 0.45 inch thin design.

Would there have been so much hype about the Motorola Q if it didn’t rock such a sleek design? Probably not. The Q’s form factor is a huge–if not the main–drawing point of the device. Modeled after the Motorola Razr V3, the Q measures a slim 4.57 by 2.52 by 0.47 inches and is actually thinner than the Razr. It easily slips into a shirt or a pants pocket, and ladies, the Q certainly won’t demand too much space in your purse. The overall construction is solid, and it feels good in the hands, but if you haven’t used this type of convergence device before, you might have to go through a period of adjustment to get used to the extra width, as well as holding it up to your ear as a phone.

The QVGA display is very nice and bright when used indoors. Pretty much anyone who handled the Moto Q praised the screen quality. In direct sunlight, however, the readability comes down by a lot. That’s unfortunate because it’s really sunny in California but to be fair, the smart phone competition isn’t performing any better. Curiously, my Sony Ericsson T610’s display beats them all. Go figure.

The Screen is not a touch screen, which is a little disturbing at first if you’re used to have poke the display with your finger. After a couple of days, I just got used to it, and it became non-issue. During our tests, we found that we used mainly the phone, text messaging and web browsing applications, none of which requires the touch screen.

The Motorola Razr V3m is the successor to the Razr V3c, both of which are exclusive to Verizon Wireless. The most notable improvement is the addition of an integrated music player, a Micro SD card slot, and support for VZ Navigator, Verizon’s GPS navigation service. Otherwise, the Razr V3m looks and feels exactly the same, and it has many of the same features as its sibling. The Razr V3m retails for much cheaper than the V3c–about $119.99 for a two-year contract and $169.99 for a one-year contract–but unless you want an integrated music player on your phone, you shouldn’t feel compelled to upgrade.

Price Range: Price: $249.99 - $339.00 

For CDMA users, the updated RAZR from the V3c is this V3m model that added a memory card slot and music player.  Features that stayed were EV-DO high-speed data, Bluetooth, and a megapixel camera with video capture, dual color displays, speakerphone, and speaker-independent voice dialing.  Enjoy the RAZR V3m in fire red.

There’s a reason the Motorola Razr seems to top everyone’s must-get list. You might think it’s because it’s sooooo thin and commands “Ooooohhhh’s” and “Aaaahhhh’s” whenever it’s pulled out of a bag or a pocket. Yes, that’s a big reason why, but it’s also actually a pretty good cell phone. Although, this version lacks the world-roaming capability found in the Motorola Razr V3, it does have something the V3 doesn’t: a higher-quality 1.3-megapixel camera and the ability to record videos (the Motorola Razr V3 sports a lower-quality VGA camera and can’t record videos).

What can we say about the Motorola Razr’s ground-breaking design that hasn’t already been said: it’s uber-thin, slick looking and comes in a rainbow of colors. Even though, the cell phone is insanely thin, it’s incredibly usable and surprisingly durable. We’ve dropped the Motorola Razr many times on a variety of surfaces (carpet, wood floors, desks, sidewalks) and it has yet to show any battle scars.

Perhaps one of our favorite elements is the ultra-bright, colorful screen. It definitely stands out when it’s opened and is highly visible in most lighting situations. In fact, occasionally we’ve even used it as a flashlight for guidance through dark rooms. Our only quibble with the cell phone’s design is the screen easily attracts face grease. That said, many cell phones suffer from this flaw.
