The Motorola W220 is an entry-level clamshell style mobile phone for the GSM network, developed by Motorola and announced in February 2006. [1] Visually its design was based on the popular Razr from the same manufacturer, [1] [2] but the W220 was sold at a low price for the mass market. [3] It initially retailed at a price equivalent to US$99, although this depended on market. [4]
The phone features dual-band GSM capabilities, and has a 65k color screen. Unlike the Motorola Razr V3 and V3i, the Motorola W220 does not have an external display but instead has three backlit icons for: incoming call, received text message, and battery status. [5] Its most notable extra feature is the built in FM radio. Other than these, it has MMS support and a basic calendar and alarm clock. [5]
The W220 was also the product of Motorola's 'W' prefixed series of low end handsets. In June 2006, a higher positioned model was introduced to complement the W220, the Motorola W375. This model adds an integrated camera and some other additions like MP3 music playing capability. [6]
