Motorola has introduced two new W-series GSM handsets at the ongoing International Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2008). The new W230 and W270 handsets offer expandable memory with optional microSD card and a simplified interface for text messaging.
"These new devices offer design elements, music features and outstanding battery life that consumers don’t expect to find at this price point," said Stu Reed, president, Motorola Mobile Devices. "Whether buying your first phone or trying out a music phone for the first time, these new models from Motorola are the perfect choice."
The W230 and W270 include features a dedicated music key that activates an integrated digital audio player which supports MP3 and other popular formats. Your favorite songs can be stored using optional microSD removable memory cards up to 2GB in size.
In addition, users have access to free music and news through an FM radio with integrated Radio Data System (RDS) which displays artist, title and type of song playing on the radio. Users can also record FM radio clips to use as the phone’s alarm, share favorite stations with friends through text messaging, and listen via headphones or speaker.
Both devices offer Motorola CrystalTalk technology that helps reduce background noise, up to nine hours of talk time, the capacity to store up to 500 text messages and phone contacts, one-click access to create text messages, and the ability to access the Web.
The W230 is available in two interchangeable faceplate color palettes: licorice/silver, and titanium gray/mandarin. Both handsets are expected to be available in Q1 2008.
