If purchased from your phone, you'll receive two copies of the song: a Windows Media Audio Pro Plus format at 64Kbps stereo is sent to your phone, and a Windows Media Audio 9 format at 160Kbps stereo is sent to your account in the V CAST Music online store for downloading to your PC.

The V Cast Video service enables you to stream or download video clips to your phone from a variety of news, entertainment, sports, and weather channels, including CNN, ABC News, E!, CBS Sports, The Weather Channel, and VH1.

Getting on the Internet is easy using Verizon's Mobile Web 2.0 package, which allows you to read and send e-mails, exchange instant messages and view your favorite web content on your phone. Verizon's Get It Now wireless download service is also fully compatible with this phone. This pay-per-download service features application downloads, games and productivity tools. You can also personalize your handset with ringtone downloads using the Get It Now service.

Sharp looking expandable options phone - works in dead zones!
 
Review Date: February 28, 2009
Reviewer: SuMac, Fort Worth, TX
I live in what Verizon calls a dead zone. If you do too, you need to be sure to get the phone with the best signal - a non-low-end Motorola or Nokia. This one works! It is sharp-looking in purple, but unlike the new "shine" phones, is not always covered in fingerprints. One tip - with this phone the speed dial numbers you just press and hold the number. Others I've had, you had to press the connect afterward, and it does not work that way on this phone.
Combined with Verizon plans, it can be as little or as much as you want. If you just want a basic phone it's great, but if you need the extras like camera, Internet and text messaging you don't have to get a plan including it. Instead it's there already, and you can pay as you go only when you need text or Internet.
I love this phone.

I've had this phone for over a year and I still love it. The battery has been great. I've dropped it numerous times, and caused no damage, and the speakers are loud enough that when I play music I can keep the whole class entertained. I'm not a texter and this is not a texting phone, but for me it was a perfect fit. I even got one for each of my sons and my husband. The only thing I would have changed would have been for them to include a data cord. As it is you can get one on Amazon for about $2.
searching for another....

Reviewer: Manda,
I got this phone over two years ago and was not hyper to do an upgrade but when the battery started to go bad, I started looking. I do not spend all day online and I don't want a touch screen. That leaves very little to choose from. In the end I bought a new battery and went on my way instead of upgrading. When I lost it going down the street, I went back searching, found it a little scratched up and the front screen cracked but it is still ticking. They don't make it anymore so I guess until they make something that does not require a 30 dollar internet plan I will not use, I will be on the hunt for one on ebay or something. After 2 falls from vehicles on the street, countless kid mishaps, and dropped in the dish water it has one crack and a slight twang in the speaker. Not too bad after all the abuse over the last two and a half years.
The perfect phone

Reviewer: RED,
I have had this phone for 2 years and I have never had a problem with it. The texting is sufficient and all the media functions never fail me. Everything on this phone always suits my needs. It is durable and basic. I love the purple color! I couldn't ask for a more perfect phone. It has Bluetooth and a great media player. The battery life is good. In addition, it has the greatest reception! I can get reception almost anywhere. Like I said before, I wouldn't change anything on this phone because it is absolutely perfect! I would strongly recommend the Motorola w755 phone to anyone; it is perfect for all ages.
gets the job done

Reviewer: Page Turner, Mount Horeb, Wisconsin USA
the reception isn't as good as my old w385 but other than that it's a good phone. can't beat the nice purple color. all I needed was a phone that made and recieved calls. I don't want it to play music although this one does but I don't use it. I hardly use the camera either. It's got good ring tone choices so I don't have to buy any. I miss my w385 which this replaced when I accidently sent it through the washer and dryer so I'll keep this one.
Update me when site is updated
