Motorola W550 – early photos at Terminal.hu!
“The Hungarian site Terminal.hu has posted early photos of a supposedly new phone Motorola W550. Its design is a symbiosis of two Motorola models – the RAZR and the W220.The peculiar thing about the phone is that the photos are no longer on the site with the note – “Removed on vendor’s request”. We can guess that the W550 will be a budget model with a 1.3-megapixel camera and an external display.”
