Motorola adds Wi-Fi to Z6w

By Damian Koh

It seems we may have expected too much from the ailing Motorola. The company's disappointing showing at the annual Mobile World Congress comprised only an enhanced Moto Z6w with Wi-Fi and a pair of entry-level handsets.

The two W-series devices--W161 and W181--ships in GSM 900/1800 or GSM 850/1900 configurations with onboard FM radio, CrystalTalk technology and USB 1.1 port for charging. Both phones sport 128 x 128-pixel displays, with the W161 using a monochrome LCD and the W181 a CSTN color screen.

According to Motorola, these three handsets won't be available in Singapore. The company cannot confirm its price and wider Asian availability at the moment.

Moto have lost their way. UMA is dead as a doornail. Two years of hype and not a single Asian operator supports it.
