Motorola W490 Bubble Gum Pink

The Motorola W490 is a great phone for any girl, thanks to the sleek, slender design that is topped off in a girly, bubble gum pink colour. It’s slightly heavy for a flip phone, but most girls will appreciate this because it feels sturdier in the hand and not like it’s about to slip away at any moment. It has an external square display supporting 65,000 colours.

You can save up to 1000 contacts on this phone (not counting the additional 250 you can save on your SIM card), along with a host of other information about them. You can create different groups for your contacts and give them one of 42 polyphonic ringtones, or give them a different alert sound altogether.

The regular essentials such as a text and multimedia messaging, an alarm clock, a calendar, a calculator, a vibrate mode, and a speakerphone are available. Also featured are some high end facilities such as USB mass storage, instant messaging, email, voice commands, and Bluetooth as well.

The 1.3 megapixel camera is great for taking pictures, which you can do in four resolutions. You also get three quality settings, exposure metering, 8x digital zoom, four shutter sounds, five colour tones and five lighting modes. The camcorder allows you to shoot video clips with sound in three resolutions.

Bottom line: The Motorola W490 Bubble Gum Pink is great for any girl on the go, with its sleek design, sturdy construction and easy to use calling facilities. The camera and Bluetooth features make taking and sending pictures an easy task, which is a feature everyone can appreciate.
