The MWC 2008 - Live Report

Do you remember the rumors about Motorola getting out of the cellphones business? We think they should either do something to stay competitive, or just leave this market.  Instead of the expected rumored cameraphones (currently its best is the Z10), the US manufacturer announced three phones: a WIFI-capable variant of the Z6 and two ultra low-level phones.



Motorola Z6w is nothing but the UMA capable variant of the old ROKR Z6. The design is kept the same, it still uses Linux JAVA system and so on, but adds WiFi connectivity. A quad-band GSM, it can be used all around the world but there is no information on availability from T-Mobile USA, which has its UMA service.




The other two phones are ultra low level candybars for the developing countries. The W161 has monochrome display, while the W181 has color one, and higher class look, thanks to the colorful housing. Both are only dual-band GSM phones.
