Motorola W230 – Dark Titanium Gray


About W230:
If one is looking for a mobile with an MP3 and FM player, this is the phone to buy. It has a 256 MB memory card which can be extended up to 2GB. It boasts of an extremely long battery life [9 hours talk time, 450 hours stand-by]. It’s been decent till now, I have charged it only twice for about a week now. [The usage, though, has been minimal in the week]. It comes with an USB data cable + real good ear-phones + weighs less than 100 grams.
Anyway, this post wasn’t meant to be a Motorola products advertisement.
Given the fact that I had only about 256 MB free space for music, I needed to come up with a playlist. With some help from my page in last.fm, this is what I ended up with.

Great, but you never mentioned its cost in the post, that is the killer! :P

Though it doesn't have camera[which is a mess if low resolution], how fast is the firmware? Does it boot up fast?

and yeah, battery life claim is very impressive, [ considering the fact that nokia is always hailed for better battery life ]

One more victim to technolgy

@takaal: lolwut???

I would call a guy victim to technology when he buys the new nokia phone impressed by GPS[even htough he doesnt need it, and considering the fact that his area may not have a map at all]

When driven by needs, if someone *uses* a technology, then, you know... :D

Rakesh Babu G R said...

well, that is the point. We dont need technology to survive. But our day to day existence is not possible without technology with the kind of life we lead.

@evilsense..
the firmware is fast, man..there are not really that many applications to boot, so.. you never actually have to wait for the hourglass to stop spinning.
@takaal..
lol.. yea.. but as u said.. can't really live without one, man.. not in industry..
@all
yea.. kept the cost out of it coz Motorola is not paying me anything for propaganda..
but for general info it is 2.9k

Takaal is jealous....

He quit orkut a few months back citing some similar reasons...
But now he's back...
He's honest enough to say that its for purely stalking purposes only..

Logik said...

btw , if you're not the memory-upgrade types.. I suggest you reduce bitrate for your tracks..

Isn't 43 too less a number?... Or is to be one-up on the answer to everything?..

@logik..
i get some 3 hours of songs, man.. and right now, that's sufficient..
so, as of now atleast... i would have to agree that it is one up on the answer to everything
:P
