Tweet

Motorola have confirmed that both Cricket Communications and MetroPCS US networks are to begin offering their somewhat entry-level Moto V240 candy bar – which comes with integrated MP3 player complete with dedicated music keys as well as a built-in ‘high audio’ speakerphone, as of this month.

Aimed at the budget market, the Motorola Moto VE240, which measures in at 112 x 47 x 14.5 mm, comes with a far from spectacular 1.5” 128×128 65K color display, microSD and SDHC memory card support (allowing up to 4GB bolt-on storage capacity), stereo Bluetooth and USB connectivity and when ‘picture messaging’ is listed as a key feature you know there’s really not a great deal to get excited about.

‘MOTO VE240 will help consumers further enjoy the benefits offered by two of the nation’s top providers of unlimited wireless communications with its many features and great looks,’ said Kathleen Finato, vice president of sales, Motorola. ‘We are delighted to offer the features most important to consumers with impressive quality at an unbelievable value.’

The Motorola Moto VE240 Candy Bar is available now at Cricket retail stores in Tulsa, and will be available soon in all Cricket markets with a retail price of $89.99 after $30.00 instant rebate whilst, at the time of writing, MetroPCS are merely stating that the Moto VE240 will become available to its customers in the next few weeks for an as yet undisclosed price.
