Motorola has announced the release of a new mobile phone for the US, it is codenamed MOTO VE240 and can be considered basic. It will soon become available to subscribers of Cricket Communications and Metro PCS. Like stated previously, this is an entry-level cellphone with basic features, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t good.

The MOTO VE240 sports stereo bluetooth combined with MP3 playback, a USB 2.0 interface to transfer files, and a slot for microSD memory cards of 4GB. So far there is no information about the price, but we’ll keep you updated.

Verizon Wireless has added one more cellphone to their big catalog, it comes from Motorola and is known as W755. It isn’t one of those top notch cellphones that you’d expect, it is more of a “music cellphone”, much like Nokia Xpress Music.

Since playing audio is its primary function, the Moto W755 has touch-sensitive controls placed its face, and supports the following formats: AAC, MP3, MIDI, and WMA V9. Thanks to the connectivity features of Windows Media Player 11, you can sync the cellphone with your PC.

The storage solution used in this case are microSD cards with a maximum capacity of 4GB. The Motorola W755 is priced at $70.

In spite of their announcement that they’re thinking of selling their cell phone unit, Motorola has unveiled three new handsets in this year’s Mobile World Congress. The first one is the Motorola MOTO Z6w, a device focused on mobile connectivity. The MOTO Z6w is both GSM and WLAN compatible, which widens the coverage for wireless coverage. The device has the ability shit between one connection to the next without interruption even if you’re in the middle of a phone call. The Motorola MOTO Z6w has a 2-megapixel camera and is capable of capturing 14 fps. It plays music using Windows Media Player 11, features a high-speed USB connection, Bluetooth connectivity, MPEG-4 video playback, and microSD card slot for up to 4GB cards. This slider uses Motorola’s EasyPair technology, which makes synching with other devices a cinch. The Motorola’s EasyPair will be available starting Q2 2008 in molten gray color as you see on the picture.
