The W230 and W270 include a dedicated music key to activate an integrated digital audio player. Favorite songs can be stored using optional microSD removable memory cards up to 2GB in size.

In addition, users have access to free music and news through an FM radio with integrated Radio Data System (RDS) which displays artist, title and type of song playing on the radio. Users can also record FM radio clips to use for the phone's alarm, share favorite stations with friends through text messaging and listen via headphones or speaker.

Both devices offer Motorola CrystalTalk technology to help reduce background noise. Up to nine hours of talk time, the capacity to store up to 500 text messages and phone contacts, one-click access to create text messages and the ability to access the Web, round out the feature set.

The W230 is available in licorice/silver or titanium gray/mandarin interchangeable faceplate color palettes. The W270 provides another design option for consumers by incorporating the same features of the W230 in a sleek and affordable clamshell design. Both the W230 and W270 handsets are expected to become available in Q1 2008.
