[...] Dupa MOTOFONE, americanii scot pe piata inca un telefon de buget scazut, urmand a fi lansat in premiera tot pe infometata piata indiana. Motorola Radiomoto W209 este un pas inainte fata de MOTOFONE, daca tinem seama chiar si numai de ecranul color de 128×128 pixeli, cam demodat dar cu totul altceva decat un ecran pe baza de ePaper. W209 ofera o agenda telefonica de 500 de numere, radio FM stereo (eheeei !) si o memorie capabila sa stocheze 750 de SMS-uri, cam cat pentru vreo 4 craciunuri si 7 sarbatori de Paste. Pentru a asculta muzica de mare angajament receptionata pe radio, exista un difuzor incorporat ba chiar si o pereche de casti stereo livrate in standard si care se aud probabil ca din butoiul cu varza murata. Nu exista player de MP3, dar are functionalitate de “lanterna” si o autonomie mamut de aproape 8 ore de talk time si 307 ore (adica mai mult de 12 zile) de stand by. Toate acestea la un pret recomandat de 70 USD (sub 200 RON). Oricat de rai am fi, nu putem sa nu-i dam dreptate lui Malcom Dave, director general la Motorola India care sustine ca W209 va deveni telefonul preferat al unui miliard de utilizatori. Indieni si pakistanezi, evident. Si cativa romani printre ei ? [Sursa: Tech Ticker] [...]
