Twin Motorola phones offer budget music options

Posted: 15 August 2008

Motorola has followed its recent relaunch of ROKR-branded handsets with two new models that also feature music as a central part of their specifications.

According to Mobile Gazette, the Motorola W396 is a RAZR-style clamshell model that is in many ways an entry-level handset that comes fleshed-out with a number of multimedia applications.

The VGA resolution camera is noted as "very basic" and the 1.8-inch screen is "on the small side", but the site praises the model for offering more in other areas.

"It does come with an mp3 player, microSD expandable memory and an FM radio," it states, adding that USB connection allows for simple PC connectivity and multiple language support may also make it suitable for the international market.

The site adds that the Motorola W388 is a similar model that comes in candy-bar form, weighs slightly less and is overall "a smart looking device with an unfussy layout".

Recently released music-focussed mobile phones from Motorola have included the ROKR EM25slider, EM28 clamshell and EM30 candybar models.
