Motorola introduced its biggest line up of entry-level GSM and CDMA handsets at CommunicAsia 2006. The new portfolio begins with two value-priced clamshell handsets, the Motorola W208 and W375, bringing a new level of slim-line style and functionality to consumers around the world.

Motorola's color initiative offering contrasting schemes in new and unique colors continues with the W208, which is available in Fire Red/Black Slate and Silver Sail/Black Slate. The handset is less than 15mm thick and features a stereo FM radio, alarm clock/stop watch, currency converter/calculator, 200 entry internal phone book, office quality speakerphone, zoom font, 3 pre-loaded games, and 32 channel polyphonic ring tones.

The W375 combines strikingly svelte design and a splash of colorful self-expression with an integrated VGA camera, speakerphone functionality, mobile USB, FM radio and MP3 ring tones to help users express their individuality. The W375 shares the intuitive external display of the W220 and supports SMS and MMS messaging. The W375 provides a sense of individuality with its palette of three iconic colors: Cannon Gray, Lustrous Silver & Mandarin Orange.

The W375 is 45 x 99 x 18.6 mm with 1.5 MB user memory. This tri-band handset features a 128 x 160 TFT screen with up to 450 minutes of talk time and up to 250 hours of stand-by.

Both handsets are expected to be available in the second half of 2006.

A good deal of the Motorola phones are moving towards the RAZR look. Yeah it was innovative two years ago, and the design was cool because no one else had it. But when entry-level phones start becoming ultra-thin...? This is the beginning of the end of the ultra-thin phones.

it was on its way down when all the copycats came around. this is just a quicker death.

i could spell improvements in the now outdated tech the RAZR supports, if the entry level phones will be just as slick as the current V3's are

which is why ultra-thin phones won't be worth it anymore.

I disagree - why would you want a thicker phone if a thin one has the same features? Its easy to carry (fits in pocket) - ergonomics is my primary decision when buyin a phone

its like fashion trends. once everyone has it nobody wants it anymore.

I remember when the RAZR 1st came out, it was like a status thing. Now it seems easy that just about everyone can get one.
