Hands-on with Motorola's bargain basement MWC offerings
It's sad times chez Motorola dear friends, sure, they've a great big beautiful booth here at the show, but the handsets that were launched this week were an extremely sad lot. The show's headliner, the Z6w, is a sad one trick pony (WiFi) that is almost off to the glue factory on launch day, the W181 and W161 are both vanilla, low cost, pay-as-you-go models. After CES's reasonable showing we were actually hoping for better things, apparently, it does have to be this hard. Check the gallery for some more pics.

It's not that sad. Some of us (okay, me) can only afford the low end phones. So when the low end gets higher, it's a good day.

very good point.
MWC and the mobile business in general is not just about satisfying the never ending appetite of hard to please technology snobs. Most people out there just need a capable, reasonably priced handset that does the job.
Most Moto handsets fit that category.
