Motorola W7. Does it ring a bell to you? It should, because it’s a handset that made its debut, if I may say so, through some leaked photos that all of you could see on the Internet a couple of weeks ago. As usual, after a period of time, the device is given the official treatment.
What’s a very nice thing about this one is the fact that it doesn’t look as bad as we thought. The MOTO W7 Active Edition is “designed for those who want a ‘moving’ phone experienceâ€, being equipped with an accelerometer which is able to sense the body motions of the user, the orientation and the hand gestures.

But let’s see what features you can find within this new Motorola slider cell phone. It comes with a built-in pedometer which is designed to count and record the daily walks and runs, an application called Personal Trainer to help you create a personal profile consisting of goals, workout profiles and summary reports, an MP3 player, FM radio, a full screen video viewing, an external memory of 8GB, a 2.0 megapixel camera for still images and a VGA camera with video capabilities.
“For those who are always on the move, the MOTO W7 Active Edition is designed to keep up with the paceâ€, said Alain Mutricy, who is the Senior Vice President at Motorola Mobile Devices. “The accelerometer technologies put a new spin on the traditional relationship we have with our phone by not only simplifying how you use it, but making it more fun in the processâ€.
Available in two color versions, Licorice and Alpine White, the W7 Active Motorola slider cell phone is expected to start selling in the second quarter of 2009 in Asia and in Latin America. The price is unknown for the moment.
There were some opinions concerning the new Motorola Clutch, also known as i465, that refered to it as a weird candybar, but it is justified by the the handset’s name. The company presents the phone as the company’s “first device that combines the power of push-to-talk and the convenience of QWERTYâ€.
In addition, it seems that the i465 comes equipped with a very familiar design, but also with a durability that is similar to the durability of devices that are made after military conditions. This way, it doesn’t matter if you love to write messages or to talk all day and night, ‘cause you’ll be able to enjoy the ultimate experience.

The list of features includes: a 1.79 inch TFT display with a display of 128 x 160 pixels and 64k colors, Bluetooth connectivity, micro USB, a VGA camera with 4x zoom, threaded messaging, MMS, email, a 2.5mm audio jack, and an internal memory of only 20MB.
The phone measures 54 x 112.8 x 14.9 millimeters and weighs 96 grams, while the 1130 mAh battery provides up to 205 minutes of talk time and no more than 100 hours of stand-by time. As for the release, it seems that this is the next Boost Mobile cell phone. Yes, you’re right, Boost Mobile is said to be launching the Motorola Clutch sometime during this quarter, but we don’t know for sure when nor under what price.
If you have ever heard about the W series developed by Motorola, maybe you know that its cell phones were all part of the low-end range, or maybe the mid-end one, and you can easily imagine that the Motorola W7, the newest device to be launched in the W series, couldn’t be an exception from the rule.
The device hasn’t officially been announced by the company, but it was seen in China and it seems that it’s expected to be used with the 3G network that is going to be introduced by China Unicom. The W7 isn’t a spectacular phone as far as the design is concerned, and you don’t have to be a connoisseur to tell this, but if you take into consideration the fact that it is somehow oriented towards the sports fanatics, it’s understandable.

The waterproof cell phone comes with some simple features such as a 2.2 inch QVGA display, a 2 megapixel camera, a secondary camera that is designed to be used for video calls, a music player, FM radio and a microSD card slot for expandable memory.
The information about the pricing and availability is not known for the moment, but we can assume that the W7 will start selling in China, at least, sometimes in May. As for the other countries, we’re waiting for further details.
Chances are high for readers to make an inauspicious impression about me and I am aware of the fact that I take a bear by the tooth right now, but I can’t help myself. It’s something that goes beyond my comprehension and I can’t do anything about it. David Beckham is so very special for the youngster I’ve been (it was a couple of years ago) and I must confess that I really liked the guy, with his numerous hairstyles, tattoos and “I’m not such a bad guy after all†smile.
It’s not something new, you’d say, because many (sooooo many) women are crazy about the football player, but we all have a past. Disgraceful, here and there, but I’m sure that some things in our lives had to happen, no matter what.

Seeing this picture of David Beckham made me remember an adolescence that was “absorbed†by a character that seemed to be the most fascinating on earth at that time being. And it was inevitable to notice that he is holding a device I know very well in his hands, a Motorola AURA, which makes me wonder about the reason why he does that. Ok, it must be a commercial. Another important thing in the David Beckham biography.
It’s just that rumors say that Motorola is facing a touch period these days and it’s difficult to understand why they have chosen to make such a commercial that must have cost them pretty much. The bad thing about this commercial is that the cute guy does nothing. Ok, maybe I’m mean, he’s looking good, so I can’t say he does nothing. He gives another piece of his body, but come on! We’re all accustomed so such “show offsâ€.
It seems that a couple of weeks are more than enough for a company to see and analyze the reaction provoked among the potential customers by a certain device. After this period, the manufacturer can decide what’s in the best interest of the mobile phone that is expected to hit the market.
This is what happened with the Motorola Evoke, a handset that was first seen back at the beginning of this month, when the leaked pictures and technical details weren’t accompanied by the official announcement.

Presented as a “socially-inclined deviceâ€, the Motorola Evoke QA4 has just been introduced to the public. Now, the information is official. The phone comes with a 2.8 inch full touchscreen, full touchscreen QWERTY keyboard and a traditional keypad that slides out, an accelerometer, noise reduction technology, Bluetooth connectivity, CDMA and EVDO Rev A connectivity, assisted GPS, full HTML browser, instant messaging, music player and a 2 megapixel camera.
You can even customize the home screen of your Motorola Evoke with integrated widgets that allow you to access information in real time, social networking sites or your RSS feeds.
The phone measures 108 x 50.5 x 17.5 millimeters and weighs 128 grams, providing approximately 5.5 hours of talk time and no more than 450 hours of stand-by time.
As for the availability, the phone will hit the American market sometime in the second quarter of 2009, but, unfortunately, the information about the price is still unknown.
