I have had this phone for a little over a year, and the screen turned white and the phone locked, nothing can be done, t-mobile says that they have not had any problums like this but when I read your blogs I see that its a common one, I would not recommend this phone to any one.

            Try the suggestions on this web site. It worked for me. You will loose the Motorola Media player (junk anyway) but the web access works great.

                Screen turned white after a year, seems it's pretty common with this phone.

                          I bought this phone in August and in less than a month later....the screen turned white. Then the number 2 on the phone stop working. Everytime I close my phone and open it up it either turns off or the screen goes white and then I have to turn it off and on again which is really fustrating. I suggest anyone who wants this phone to find another.

                                    I just got the Motorola W490 and I can't figure out when I've gone over the word limit when texting (per page) usually phones show the letter count-down but this phone counts up. Is there a setting change I should look into?
