    We've already posted about the two Moto show stealers at CES, we figured that the W230 and W270 deserved their 15 minutes of glory as well. While definitely not loaded to the teeth with features, these will both make great low-cost options. Follow the link for the goods.%Gallery-13107%

  • Motorola adds W230, W270 on the cheap

    Motorola's W series handsets generally aren't anything to get too excited about, and yeah, these two are no exception to that rule -- in fact, they're so pedestrian that they weren't even mentioned at Moto's press event last evening. Be that as it may, they're both clear-cut upgrades from W offerings of yore, featuring FM radio with RDS reception, media playback with microSD expansion, and Motorola's CrystalTalk noise reduction tech. The W230 does the formula in a candybar form factor with interchangeable faceplates, the W270 adds a hinge into the mix. Both should be available this quarter; pricing wasn't announced, but will likely be set by Moto's local distributors.%Gallery-12913%Read - Motorola W230Read - Motorola W270
