Motorola is out with yet another low-end phone for the emerging markets. The candybar-shaped W165 won’t impress anyone with both its features and design, which is kinda too-simplistic making you think of how mobile phones looked like five years ago. On the other hand, guess that’s “good enough” for an entry-level device, or at least the American handset maker hopes so.

Specs wise the Moto W165 sports a dual-band GSM radio (900/1800 or 850/1900 MHz), 1.44-inch 128×128 pixels CSTN screen with 65K colors, 2.5mm headset jack, and a 780 mAh battery. As for the size, it measures 108x46x12.5 mm and has a weight of 77 grams.

No pricing nor availability details were provided…

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.
