Motorola's MOTOFONE


Motorola's MOTOFONE: "The Motorola PR guys are working overtime today announcing yet another phone. The MOTOFONE is a slim, 9mm-thick phone that looks like the SLVR but thinner. Its display uses Electrophoretic Display (EPD) technology to make the screen more visible in sunlight.

Motorola also says there's a redesigned UI that's based more on icons than text, which is good, because we never liked Motorola's UI anyhow. Other than these slim details, the only other thing announced in the press release is that prepaid customers will get an update of how many minutes/messages are left after they make a call or send a message. The phone will be available sometime in the latter half of '06.

White Pearl Cellphone: Affordable Pseudo-Luxury


White Pearl Cellphone: Affordable Pseudo-Luxury: "Who could forget the Black Diamond cellphone from last March, only to be reborn as the Windows Mobile Black Diamond a few days ago? More importantly, who can forget the steep $300,000 price tag? Well, the Black Diamond's designer has gone back to the drawing boards and come up with the more affordable White Pearl. Priced at the slightly more sane $1,500, the White Pearl looks suspiciously similar to the Black Diamond, only not made of dark matter.

The White Pearl will actually go into production and will feature, among other things, Wi-Fi, a 2-inch touch screen and a four-megapixel camera. It'll run on Windows Mobile 5 with a 400MHz Intel processor.

Motorola RAZR MAXX V6: Noteworthy For Its Fast Data, and Extras


Motorola RAZR MAXX V6: Noteworthy For Its Fast Data, and Extras: "This RAZR lookalike isn't a RAZR. It's a MAXX — just think of it as a hot dog, with all the extras. First and foremost, it has 3.5G HSDPA connection. That's good for 400 to 700 kbps transfers, with 1 megabit bursts, on Cingular's network (if the phone is ever picked up by the carrier.) Then there's a 2-megapixel phone for snapshots, and a VGA camera for video conferencing. On the outside, there are light up play/pause, track forward and back buttons, for playing MP3s off the internal 50MB of memory (expandable by a MicroSD slot.) Annnd, there's a QVGA screen with a 120 by 160 screen on the flipside. I think that does it...oh, wait: It's not much larger than a regular RAZR, at about 53 by 104 by 15mm.
