As the name implies, Motorola’s new w7 Active Edition slider is aimed at those sporty types, with its built-in pedometer and personal trainer application. It appears that Moto is jumping on the accelerometer bandwagon with this phone since users can control functions on the phone with simple hand gestures:

Shake up your everyday phone experience by controlling MOTO W7 using simple hand gestures, taps and flicks. Flip the phone over to silence the ringer of an incoming call, snooze the alarm clock or pause the music. Shake twice to instantly launch your favorite application, such as the music player. When showing off your photo albums or music libraries, flick the phone right or left to move between songs and images.

The Moto W7 also features a 2.0 megapixel camera and it runs on a 3G network. It appears that only customers in Latin America and Asia will be able to use this in the foreseeable future.
