14 DAY TRIAL // Verizon Wireless added a new Motorola handset to its offer, the Moto W755, which was rumored to come at the second largest North American carrier a few months ago. Now the phone is available for purchase (in 2 versions, purple and black) offering users a new choice when it comes to affordable, pretty and not-that-advanced devices.
The new Moto W755 can be bought for 69.99 USD (after a $50 online discount), with a contract agreement for two years, from Verizon's official website, found at this address. Most probably, users can get the phone from Verizon's retails stores across the US, for a similar price.
Coming in a clamshell form factor, Motorola W755 is covered in "soft-touch paint" and features metallic accents, therefore it looks pretty good ? although it resembles other Moto phones that came out along the years, hence it brings nothing new in terms of design. What it does bring new, however, is a set of external touch-sensitive keys that will allow users to control several of the phone's features (music, Bluetooth, incoming calls etc).
Aside from this, W755 also offers: 1X/EV-DO dual-band connectivity (800 / 1900 MHz), a 1.9 inch main TFT display with 65K colors and 176 x 220 pixels, an external CSTN screen with 96 x 80 pixels and 65K colors, A-GPS to work with VZ Navigator, stereo Bluetooth, Music player (MP3, WMA, AAC and AAC+), access to V CAST Music and V CAST Video, a 1.3 Megapixel camera with optical zoom and video recording, hearing aid compatibility, microSD card support for up to 4GB and so on ? all in a case that measures 3.9 x 1.9 x 0.68 inches (99 x 48 x 17 millimeters) and weighs 3.6 ounces (102 grams).
In conclusion, for its affordable price, Motorola W755 is not a bad handset at all, so users who have nothing against Moto or against clamshell phones should give it a try. That is, if they don't aim for something more expensive, of course.
