Motorola Z6w hits Fido for WiFi fun

by Chris Ziegler, posted Aug 8th 2008 at 4:00PM

If the 6301 from Nokia ain't your cup of tea, Fido has now added a second handset compatible with its Uno WiFi calling service. The new model is none other than Moto's Z6w slider, which continues the interesting choice of making Fido's WiFi lineup completely different than parent Rogers', which offers the BlackBerry Pearl and Nokia 6086 on its Talkspot service. When you're not around home, the Z6w offers quadband EDGE coverage, and the microSD slot plus Windows Media support and 2 megapixel camera should be enough to keep you at least mildly entertained. Grab the package now for $60 (about $57) CAD on a three-year deal.

I wonder what Fido's standards are because didn't T-Mobile refuse the Z6w because it didn't "meet standards"?

Did they say what constitutes not meeting standards?
