Motorola preps simplistic W530 clamshell

It's no world-beating Alexander or anything (not even close, really), but the W530 clamshell will still make and take calls with the best of 'em. Reportedly, Moto is preparing the simplistic handset you see above for the Chinese market, and with it will come a 220 x 176 resolution internal display, 1.3-megapixel camera, an FM radio module, 20MB of inbuilt memory, microSD expansion slot, quad-band GSM support and that lightning quick EDGE data. No telling when exactly this will drop (nor for how much), but we'd surmise "soon."

This looks like the W490, MotoActiv, Rokr W5, etc. Other than slightly updated software and emphasis on certain features I think this should be called the RAZR2 because of the level of reuse it is getting.

I think this is just a Moto K1m with new skin.

I hope motorola's mobile arm will die soon. I've never seen this many clones of a product put out by the company who made the original!
