Skeptical as I was, I did try it and boy were my reservations put aside. The W230 is the cheapest mobile phone with good (read: LOUD) MP3 audio playing capability. The W230 is capable of playing up to 2GB of music via microSD card. Perhaps the closest reservation I had was the fact that it doesn’t use a 3.5mm audio jack for audio. Instead it used a 2.5mm jack for audio accessories. I realize that the inclusion of a 3.5mm slot is reserved only for the ROKR series, the latest one being the ROKR E8. Hence, this is why it is called the “W” of “wow so cheap!!” series.
More features after the jump!
The special feature of the W230, apart from the very loud and crisp audio is sharing your FM radio station via SMS to others. You can also record 1 minute worth of FM radio and turn it into your alarm or SMS alert.
Oh and last but not least, the Motorola W230 is priced at PHP 2,490.00 or roughly USD $50.00. That’s without a subsidy plan!
Though it may look a bit cheap (heck it really is cheap!), it still delivers in terms of performance. Motorola’s consumer studies show that in terms of features, the camera has been moved down to number 3 with a preference for music as the second most important feature on a phone. First of course is the calls and SMS.
Features:
MP3 Player (Motorola MP3 player)
FM Radio
128 x 128 65,000 color screen
Long 10 hour battery life with 19 days of standby
File transfer Drag and Drop software
WAP 20 Dual Stack / GPRS Class 10

Its cheap in cost……and in its disastrous features too!!!
i went to smart wireless last week and they told me that they this phone will release in store today (march31)
From what I heard, there seems to be a tie up with Smart Phils. re: the W230, so the 2,490.00 PhP cost is applicable to their (most likely SIM-locked) prepaid promo.
