Motorola WX260 review

Network and connections
Motorola offers a simple but functional phone, for the user who doesn't have particular requirements. Network support is GSM Dualband, which guarantees sufficient signal coverage; UMTS mode is not available, however. The internal modem with GPRS data traffic management allows browsing in WAP, via the dedicated browser. Bluetooth proves useful for exchanging files with compatible devices. There is also a USB output for syncing the phone directly with your home PC.

Design and features
You immediately notice how handy and comfortable the phone is to carry in your pocket. Its dimensions are indeed compact, with a very contained weight; the Candybar design also keeps the thickness down, at 14.3 mm. On the front there is the display, a 128x160 pixel TFT, capable of displaying up to 65,000 colors. On the lower part, however, is the standard keypad, with comfortable, well-arranged keys.

Main features
An Entry Level phone is by definition a not-very-complex device, which offers basic but still good quality functions. That's why the WX260 integrates address book management, the calendar and the alarm clock with customizable ringtones, as well as the voice aspect with speakerphone and voice recorder. Motorola's proprietary platform allows limited content expandability, thanks to Java support for compatible applications. There's also support for writing SMS and multimedia messages with T9 quick composition. However, it is not possible to send and receive E-mail.

Entertainment and multimedia
The Motorola WX260 is really limited to the essentials, but proves good for moments of leisure. In fact, you can play mp3 audio files without any problems, to be saved on expandable memory up to 2 GB. There is also an AM/FM radio antenna, complete with RDS function. In your free time you can also use simple pre-installed games, or install new compatible ones. The 750 mAh lithium battery guarantees operating life of up to 580 hours in Stand-by.
