The Motorola W175G is a bar style mobile phone available exclusively for Tracfone wireless prepaid customers. The W175G was released in late 2007 as an option for cellphone users who want a simple, easy-to-use device. The W175G uses GSM technology, so it requires a SIM card to identify the phone number with the phone. The only available color is black with white key lettering.
Size and Frequencies
The Motorola W175G is 4.48 inches tall, 1.69 inches wide and 0.55 inches thick. The phone weighs 2.99 ounces. The W175G runs on the 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 GSM frequencies to make calls and send messages.
Screen and Keyboard
The W175G has an LCD screen that uses CSTN technology. The phone has 16-bit color to display up to 65,000 different colors. All images on the screen show up at a resolution of 128 pixels by 128 pixels. The keypad is traditional with numbers zero through nine also featuring letters for typing.
Contacts and Call Features
The W175G has room for up to 500 different contacts and each entry has space for multiple numbers so you can enter home, mobile and work phones. During a call, you can use speakerphone to talk and listen from a distance. The W175G also has caller ID so you know who is calling before answering. You can also check how long you have been on a call with the phone's call timer. Call waiting lets you flip between calls instead of ignoring an incoming call.
Media Features
The W175G has a built-in FM radio so you can connect to local stations. A headphone jack is included if you would rather listen privately instead of using the phone's speakers. The W175G has room to store up to 35 ring tones. You can purchase ring tones from the phone or transfer them from your computer by connecting a cable to the USB port on the W175G.
Battery and Organization
The W175 has a lithium ion battery with a capacity of 940 mAh, or milliamp hours. The battery lasts about 10 hours while using the phone and 18 days with the phone on standby mode. The W175G has a basic calculator that will let you add, subtract, multiply and divide. Also included are an alarm clock, stopwatch and currency conversion tool.
