Talk/Standy time: 7.5 hours/10 days OverallThe MOTOACTV W450 stands out in the crowd of other cell phones through its extreme durability and ability to resist wear. Designed for those with an active lifestyle, the phone, also known as the ACTIVE, truly represents what its name stands for. With a rubberized texture, grip is enhanced, and clammy hands that lose their phone are a thing of the past. This phone remains firmly in the user's hand. Its optimal size further enhances this feature. Big enough to rest well into a palm, yet not as big as to force the stretch of the hand, this phone is sized just right. Neither too light nor heavy, at barely 99 grams, the MOTOACTV W450 is one phone designed for enhanced hands-on use, without compromising on style. Sporting clean lines with slightly rounded edges, the flip model makes a cool style statement. With its combination of classy dark colours and crisper, flashier tones (the Mandarin orange tone comes to mind), this indeed makes a visual statement as well. Speaking of call quality, the phone comes with the CrystalTalk noise reduction technology, which ensures excellent voice quality. The ACTIVE is however mostly destined to those who enjoy and outdoorsy lifestyle. As such, the phone comes equipped with the Mayo Clinic™ InTouch™ software with first aid tips and symptom checker, very helpful when in remote locations or when medical assistance may not be available immediately. The MOTOACTV W450 seems to be a whole package for the one who likes life in the wide open spaces and in nature. This doesn't mean one isn't connected or away from entertainment. The phone features a very good MP3 player. Music can be downloaded and transferred to the phone through a USB cable (sold separately) through the miniUSB connection. Music capacity can further be enhanced with an up-to-2MB microSD memory card. There is a 2.5 mm stereo headset jack, to plug in headphones. Other than all the above, the MOTOACTV W450 is devoid of frills. It delivers a punchy offer, with all bases covered. On this note though, the quality of the camera is rather lacking, eaturing mediocre quality and no flash. Pros
