Motorola Active W450 (orange, T-Mobile)

Summary: I work in the construction industry so I was looking for a phone that could withstand a little wear and tear. To my dismay, T-mobile only offered one phone that fit the criteria I was looking for... the Motorola w450.
Reading the specs, it seemed like a halfway decent phone at the time. So I went ahead and grabbed one.
Big mistake.
Right from the start I had problems. The battery life ranged anywhere from 30minutes to 3hours on full charge. I brought it back to T-Mobile and they gave me a new battery. I thought my troubles were over. I was wrong... so wrong...
The phone suffers from TERRIBLE software problems which range from freezing the phone for 15 seconds every time you send a text message, to crashing the browser when receiving a picture message. Sometimes the phone sends 3 or 4 text messages to a mysterious vortex somewhere, and then send them to their recipients days or weeks later. Sometimes the phone wont ring at all and save up all the voicemails you receive for the day and then not give them to you until you take out the battery, wait 10 seconds, and then restart the phone.
The list of things wrong with this phone goes on, and on, and on... Many of them have been said a dozen times over in other reviews here (so I wont rehash them anymore). Chances are if you're here reading my review, you've read others.
So I'll leave you with these simple words of advice:

AVOID THIS PHONE AT ALL COSTS!

Summary: I'm working on my 3rd phone and from shuting off on it own, to settings not being set in place to not being able to text, this phone has been nothing but a nightmare, my first one lasted about 10 months and it then started to shut off on it's own and not saving my setting, got that replaced and I had the same issue and got that replaced, now this new one a matter of not even 1 day it did shut off on it's own,would not save settings, and I went to send a text message well, forget about that also,called my cell phone company and I really voiced my opinion on this phone and most of my words were not that nice, and this is not my first time with a Motorola product and it FAILED back then and again now... Motorola should make toilet seats and maybe they can do that right... And stop trying to shovel there crap products on us...
