The rumor mill promised us that the Motorola W388 would be nothing worth writing home about, and we’ve got to hand it to the mill — it was spot-on this time around. Mobil.cz appears to have scored the first shot we’ve seen of the new low-end candybar, and while the design’s positively retro, the microSD slot is still a notable inclusion for such a cheap (or cheap-looking, anyway) device. Music gets some special attention, thanks to a shiny d-pad with embossed music controls, a dedicated player button, and the inclusion (seemingly) of in-ear buds. A VGA camera rounds out the hearty feast of mediocrity. No Dat. or price are given, but you know what they say — if you have to ask, well, odds are you can probably still afford it.

Unlike the Sony Ericsson series of the same letter, Motorola’s “W” line doesn’t really stand for anything special — it’s basically a catch-all for the company’s low-end fare. On that note, we’ve got a W265 hitting the FCC in this place with an endless apettite for boring us to tears, though the presence of Bot. GSM 850 and 1900 means we’ll be able to bring that boredom straight to US shores if we should so choose. There’s also an FM radio in there somewhere, but that’s pretty much where the feature list comes to a grinding halt. Make it free, Motorola — not on contract — and we’ll take two.
