MOTO Z6WThe 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 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.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    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.
