Motorola’s W220: A RAZR For Tight Budgets

Motorola W220Here is an interesting idea, create an affordable yet nice looking phone. Amazing, isn’t it? Well that looks to be exactly what Motorola has done with their W220.

Motorola announced the name of the FM radio equipped entry-level handset that they eluded to at their press event on Monday. The new handset, called the W220, is meant to be a RAZR for the masses, bringing the RAZR form factor and good looks at a lower price point. Of course, the only way to do that was to drop features from the original design, which accounts for the lack of an external display and the use of a smaller 1.5″ 128×128 pixel CSTN display on the inside.

In lieu of the external display Motorola has chosen to place three light-up icons that give power, battery, and message information. Other features include a speakerphone function, a WAP 2.0 browser, MMS support, and the ability to download new wallpapers, ringtones, and games. The internal storage capacity of the device will allow for up to 600 contacts to be added to the W220’s phone book, while the large 880mAh battery should be good for around 8 hours of talk time, or up to 12 days of standby time.
