As boring (or in the case of the W6, difficult) as they may be to look at, we’ve got to hand it to Motorola — they’ve managed to pack in a nice mix of interesting features into the latest round of wallet-friendly W-series phones. Starting at the bottom, the W231 candybar has an FM radio with RDS and recording capability, media player, microSD slot, “streamlined interface” for text messaging (your guess is as good as ours), and Moto’s CrystalTalk noise reduction circuitry. The W388 and W396 — a candybar and flip, respectively — are dead ringers for one another on the spec sheet, with both offering VGA cams and Windows Media compatibility in addition to the W231’s decent list of capabilities. Our personal favorite, though, has to be the W6 (pictured), which has a few really one-of-a-kind features: a host of built-in training software (and A2DP doesn’t hurt either) for making the phone particularly useful on the jogging circuit, the ability to export recorded data up to your Computer in Excel format, and the tendency to burn your retinas with one of the loudest, most painful shades of yellow we’ve ever seen on a phone.

A video posted over at WMExperts, shows a short clip of the upcoming Samsung SGH-i788 that’s said to be due in October.

The upcoming smartphone will run Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro and will feature a 320×320 touchscreen, a 528MHz processor and a 3 megapixel camera. The phone will also have 3G, Wi-Fi, and a GPS receiver.

Previous rumors have determined that the phone was going to be co-branded with AT&T and released by Samsung as the next Blackjack. The QWERTY phone already has a non-US counterpart, released as the Samsung i780 earlier this year.
