Motorola FLIP W220

Connectivity and Memory
The phone has only around 500kb of usable memory, in which you can store upto 600 phonebook entries and 250 SMSes and a number of ringtones and wallpaper depending on the size of the file(s). But with no connectivity options whatsoever (no Bluetooth, no Infrared, no USB), the only option left to transfer with is GPRS and MMS, so you can use the WAP/XHTML browser.

Battery
The phone has very good battery life—I used it for a little over four days before I had to recharge it again. When I was testing this phone, I made and received a lot more calls than I usually do, so the battery life is indeed very good. This can be attributed to the lack of an external sub-display and any other high-end features like a camera, MP3 decoding or EDGE network support, which is appropriate.

Conclusion
Like I said before, it’s difficult to argue with a phone that looks this good and costs just Rs. 3,990. It’s got a great set of basic features and also brings in some bonus features such as an FM radio, quick saving of numbers, a roomy 600-entry phonebook and the slim, stylish form factor that’s not common in this price range. The UI is a little slow, you can’t use caller ringtones for message alerts, and the main display just about cuts it, but still, all this didn’t stop me from buying the phone for my mom. She loves it.
