Another ROKR Leak: The W5 Looks like Darth Maul's Phone

Following the leaky loo of the ROKR U9 is the ROKR W5, which is a quad-band GSM clamshell that has EDGE, Bluetooth, miniUSB, 20MB internal memory, a microSD slot, and a sad little 1.3-megapixel camera. It actually kind of seems like weak sauce, Mount Doom-inspired paint job aside. More details when we crib them, naturally. [Unwired View]

Looks like the RAZR Trick or Treat version. YAWN!

So now everything black and red belongs to Dearth Maul?

(Yes, Dearth was intentional. No, it's not a very good diss.)

Ok, I have to admit, the fade effect looks pretty cool with this phone.

@Cerixus: I used a LOTR reference at the bottom, if that makes it any better. But I refuse to appease Trekkies.

@ceilingFANBOY: I was thinking the same thing. I'm frickin sick and tired of Ricoh, but for this phone the fade made it look pretty bad-a&&.

That looks almost exactly like the existing KRZR, same specs too, except LESS memory (my krzr k1m has 32mb ram)

It has some of the W385 aspects in it as well. Motorola has lost any ability to make original phones ever since the RAZR came out.

It looks black and orange, like they stole the color scheme of Sony-Ericsson's music oriented phones.

Oops.

Mount Doom and Darth Maul? I find it hard to consolidate those comparisons in my head. Otherwise, phone does seem a tad on the anemic side.

If it were Darth Maul's phone it would clamshell open at the top and the bottom. You know what they say: A large phone is the sign of a large...

i was like... wow, thats kind-of cool-looking... then i noticed how much it looked like a repainted KRZR, and that the specs wouldn't be impressive in 2004... yikes.
