A low-end candybar phone

It's nice to actually see something else from Motorola apart from different versions and colors of RAZR phones.

It looks like the mobile phone manufacturer is to present a pretty large number of mobile phones in the near future, from the R*ZR series or not, including the Motorola Q2 that is to be released at the 3GSM and a few low-end mobile phones for the users that don't want or need an advanced handset.

The Motorola W215 is an entry-level mobile phone with only the most basic features included and has recently received the Federal Communications Commission's approval.

The phone comes equipped with a 65k color screen with a 128 x 128 pixel resolution VGA camera, an FM Radio and the iTap predictive system; therefore, users won't have to give up taking snapshots or listening to some music.

It will also feature the indispensable organizer and calculator. The dual-band 850/1900 MHz mobile phone is basically just an improved version of the W208 that was announced in June last year, with certain added features like the VGA camera.

Overall, the phone's design is pretty simple and elegant and this phone will probably be a pretty good choice for the less pretentious users who aren't willing to spend much on a phone. Since it doesn't bring any fancy features, it will probably be very affordable.

The mobile phone will be available in two color variations, silver and black or dark red and black. After the FCC approval, the phone will definitely be heading on to a wireless carrier, but at the moment, there's no information regarding availability or price.
