Part of the recent wave of entry-level phones on Verizon Wireless, the Motorola W315 features PEBL-like looks with a curvy blue shell and vertical external display. However, this clamshell packs one unwanted feature that's (fortunately) missing from the PEBL: a stubby, external antenna. The W315 also includes a speakerphone, hearing-aid compatibility and voice tagging in its hefty 4.1 ounce body. While T-Mobile is serving up the PEBL for free, the W315 will set you back $30 after a two-year service contract.

Specifications

  • CDMA/1xRTT
  • Speakerphone
  • Voice tagging
  • Hearing-aid compatibility
  • Measures: 3.5 by 2 by 0.9 inches
  • Weight: 4.1 ounces

    Price and availability

    The Motorola W315 is available immediately for $30 with a two-year service agreement
