The WiFi-enabled MOTO Z6W, which we saw introduced by Motorola during this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, is now available on Canada’s Fido. The music-centric slider packs a 2 megapixel camera, QVGA screen, stereo Bluetooth support, and a battery that should provide users with up to 7 hours of talk and 400 hours of standby time.
As for the mentioned WiFi, you can use it for making lower cost phone calls or for accessing various Internet services, web browsing included.
Fido is selling the Motorola (NYSE: MOT) Z6W for CA$60 on a 3-year plan, CA$160 on a 2-year, or for CA$350 sans any contracts. Here’s the link to Fido’s website where you can get more information.

I have the new Z6w from Fido.
The phone is awesome, the firmware Fido has loaded in is crap. The wifi is disabled, you cannot do web browing over Wifi Even if it has a connection, it always goes via your rogers/fido connection so you get billed. Also the Fido team has converted 2 of the main buttons into Quick Connect Internet buttons so you accidentally log on more often. They also removed the options that allow you to change those buttons.
Get the phone, flash it, and suddenly everything works the way you wanted it too. Free Internet and phone calls in WiFi areas, completely configurable buttons, etc. Fido really screwed it’s customers on this one.
Don’t Believe me? Ask them to change the main two quick-start buttons on the phone. It cannot be done.
Where can I find a firmware image to flash it?
how do you get the so called wifi in the motorola z6w to work or was it jus a rip off cause it is $#!*
