14 DAY TRIAL // Motorola's attempt to a Facebook-oriented phone, the MOTOKEY SOCIAL has just been introduced in Peru. Starting today, customers can purchase the handset through all major carriers in the country.
Also known as Motorola EX 225, the handset features a compact design and a generous QWERTY keyboard, allowing for more comfortable texting.
Moreover, the MOTOKEY SOCIAL comes with a dedicated Facebook key, which provides one click access to the social network application.
Aside from the portrait QWERTY keyboard, the phone sports a decent 2.4-inch QVGA capacitive touchscreen display that support 320 x 240 pixels resolution and 262k colors.
Surprisingly, the handset is less than 10mm thick. It measures 105.5 x 60mm and weighs only 92g (battery included).
Although the MOTOKEY SOCIAL is no smarpthone, the handset comes with five different home screens pre-installed, a slew of interface themes and direct links to Facebook, Twitter and other popular social networking sites.
In addition, users will be able to browse the Internet with the blazing fast Opera Mini browser. Email services are included as well, such as access to corporate Exchange email via OWA (Outlook Web Access).
On the back, Motorola MOTOKEY SOCIAL packs a 3-megapixel camera with video recording. The phone embeds only 50MB of internal memory, which can be expanded up to 32GB via microSD card.
In the connectivity front, the MOTOKEY SOCIAL does not disappoint as the device comes packed with Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Hotspot support, Bluetooth stereo functionality, 3.5 mm earphone jack and microUSB port.
Even though the mobile phone is powered by a low-capacity 910 Li-Ion battery, Motorola claims it can provide up to 670 hours of standby time or up to 8 hours of talk time.
“We are committed to launching competitively-priced cellular telephones with the features demanded by consumers who still do not have a smartphone, but need access to e-mail, social network and Wi-Fi hotspot functionality,” said Alexander Zawadzki, Motorola Mobility´s general manager for Peru.
