Motorola's rumored W7 causing us to lose faith

by Chris Ziegler posted Apr 27th 2009 at 9:50PM

Okay, yes, we understand that Moto's W series of handsets is targeted at the lower end of the market -- but is that any excuse for it to be ugly? We'd like to believe that this odd little beast is fake, but we have a bad feeling that it's the real deal -- all three mismatched colors of it. Add in the oblong d-pad, the forgettable camera, and the rumor that it'll be EDGE only, and we really don't care how water resistant the sports-oriented W7 might be, we're pretty sure we don't want anything to do with it. Maybe an overwhelmingly lukewarm reaction to the leak could send it back to the drawing board, eh?

Ugly?

And is that a front-facing cam that we see? On such a low-end device? Most and foremost, on an EDGE-only phone? Correct me if I'm wrong, video-call needs 3G no?

Anyway, still prefer my crashing Motorola Z6w

Good call... might be a light sensor, though. Either way, come on, that's ugly!

So ugly I wouldn't even put that on Virgin. (Because, let's face it, other than Helio's devices on Virgin, their phones are pretty... ugly, but they're still way cooler than this W7)

EngadgetMobile / Chris Ziegler always complain or give negative comment to Motorola. EngadgetMobile / Chris Ziegler never complain or give negative comment to Nokia and not post any negatif news about Nokia. Hahaha... I know EngadgetMobile / Chris Ziegler is Motorola Haters.
