It might not be quite the multimedia maven as the Z10, but Motorola’s newly announced Z6w still has plenty going for it; with both EDGE and WiFi b/g, Motorola are claiming you can seamless cross between cellular and 802.11 networks without calls or web browsing being interrupted. In fact, they’re positioning it as a replacement to both your current mobile and home handsets.


Of course the spectre of the carrier hovers over any such VoIP access, so perhaps we should concentrate instead on the 2-megapixel camera capable of recording 14fps video, microSD slot that supports up to 4GB cards, stereo Bluetooth (with Motorola’s EasyPair) and integrated Windows Media Player 11. Motorola have also preloaded an IM client onto the Z6w.

The Motorola Z6w weighs 110g and measures 45.25 x 105.47 x 17.3 mm; battery life is claimed to be up to 420 minutes talktime or 400 hours standby. It should be available in Q2 2008.
