W375 is not that cool as marketed. V3 series are better in design, this one looks very heay as a rock in hand.
The TFT screen is not as attractive as it should be, it does give pain to eyes while if used for more then 10 min. The resolution of the screen is 128x160, with good color contrast, but the distance between each pixel can be observed clearly as with CSTN disply. I think is not TFT but some kind of technology similar to that of Samsung.
W375 keypads are good, and can be used with accuracy, its not slow responsive. Although the games included in this phone are not good at all.
It has extreamly low memory 1.5 MB !
It cannot run Java, cannot capture video, cannot play MP4, nor can be used as MP3 player. But the FM is real good.
In short you can do the following:
1- Calls
2- FM radi0
3- Image capture (640x480 max) [having low memory you cannot capture much pics]
4- Change ringtones (can use mp3 as ringtone)
5- connect it via USB to your PC (as capacity is 1.5 MB you canot do much with it)
6- Calender, Alarm, and other utilities
Thats all.
This is the cheapest usefull set Motorola is offering. W220 has no comparison and the price difference is very very low.
So if you want to have a cheap clamshell (not dirt cheap), go for W375.

Bought this at a cellphone sale at the mall.. kinda cheap and it was only for 3 days.
After browsing through the phone, the worst I could find is..
1. LOW LOW LOW LOW MEMORY
2. For some reason, it made me text alot slower..
That's the only big probs.. the camera thing people complain about is not that reasonable since IT IS cheap after all. Just sad that the memory I can access is less than what I need for a full customization...
And being in the Philippines, I text a lot more than I call, and I'm having difficulty replying haha.

this phone is good value, but I dont like it overall!
start up time is very slow. Key response is slow, which if you ahve key tone on is VERY offputting as the tone sounds about 1/2 second after you press the key.
SMS input defaults to multitap unless you find the option hidden away to default to T9.
Camera is rubbish quality - not worth using. TThe navigation is not entirely easy to use as the centre key changes function randomly ffrom 'select', to 'more options' in different menus.
Good points are the appearance and feel of the phone, and the loudspeaker. Radio is a good feature but I never use it because the earpiece is too much hassle to keep getting out - maybe for long journeys though.

This is a low-end phone, made for those who need a clamshell with style and a few extras....
Pros:
Good image
Good volume and loudspeaker
Batery life perfomance
Minus:
Slow response when turn on/off
Internal memory ( only 100phonebook entries, and 0.5mb of user memory)
Hardkeypad
For 75€ is a good phone, with decent looks, but you should also consider the sharp gx29, which add the bluetooth, better screen more user memory.
This one looks better and the motorola support is better than the sharp...

What amazes me is that you all whinge but about memory, camera. text but it is predominantly a phone. You ring a number and talk to someone, hey it works. The description says mobile phone not video camera, digital camera laptop etc.

Ooooh yeah...and for some reason mine takes ages to hang up on a call. So I say bye and the other person can still hear me for a minute or so even though I'm pressing the hang up button.

Rubbish phone - bought it as a replacement for my LG chocolate after it went missing....WHAT A MISTAKE! It takes AAAAGES to text and keeps inserting random letters instead of a space (on my phone anyway) - basically u have to text really slow or it will keep messing up your sentences. Camera is crappy, no mp3 capability, no bluetooth OR infrared (which i really hate!). I miss my Chocolate :'(

The reviews also suggest that texting is difficult with this phone. Is this true because I will be using it primarily for texting. Is the camera (keeping in mind memory) anything to go for or would I be better off with W220?

One more thing - can someone give me an advice whether I should go for W220 or W375. The only reason I was thinking of 375 was that it had a camera. But the reviews about the phone aren't that positive. Moreover, the look of W220 is similar to that of V3. I want that. Is W375 a better choice or W220?

Awesome phone to download song on to the phone you need to get tunebit. It takes protected songs and unprotects them, you can then edit your songs however you like, start them where-ever, fade them out etc... Its really neat you can even use the tunebit to convert music to play on Ipod from other music applications like yahoo napster etc...

Someone wrote here "it's impossible to have ringtone and vibrate same time" ... it is NOT impossible, just select "Vibrate & Ring" for ring type ... ;)
If you got no accesories for this phone, a simple USB-miniUSB cable is OK. You DO NOT need any special software for file transfers like images or ringtones. The phone appears on my PC as "usb mass storage device".
For those who want ringtones. Just download from the Internet any MIDI or MP3 ringtone to your PC, than upload them to the phone whit your "magic" usb cable. Be aware that the available memory for PC-phone transfer is about 500KByte, but you can find some cool ringtones much smaller than that.
Howewer I couldn't find a way to transfer files from "Additional memory" to "Preloaded or downloaded media files" memory. I even tried to download a ringtone directly from the internet into the phone, but it saved it to the "Additional memory". If anyone has an ideea how to transfer files between these 2 memory ... PLEASE EMAIL ME.
All in one I'm very pleased with this phone. It is a simple phone at a low price. In my opinion it may be one of the best in his middle-class. I espacialy like the calendar/planner, the advenced settings for alarms, the simple & well known motorola menu etc.
