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 experience”, 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 pace”, 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 process”.

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.
