New RAZR Phones, Moto Q Smartphone, MOTONOW Mobile Phone Highlights
The RAZR was central to the event, with Motorola's CEO Ed Zander spending much of his opening remarks talking about the device. Motorola will be expanding the RAZR brand to several network standards, including UTMS and CDMA with EV-DO. A UTMS equipped RAZR was being shown off: it's slightly thicker than the GSM version, but it's still quite thin overall.
On the Moto Q Smartphone, Jon writes:
Motorola's biggest announcement at the MOTONOW event was most definitely the "Moto Q". The device houses a QWERTY keyboard (which is where the Q comes from) and looks similar to the Treo 650. The Q works with Windows Mobile 5.0 but, since existing push-email solutions are not yet available for the OS, there was no working demo of that functionality.
MobileTracker has a bunch of detailed photos of Motorola's "Wicked" phones, which will give you a good idea of style and size of the Moto Q Smartphone, the new Razr phones, the ROKR phone (pronounced Rocker) - Motorola's upcoming line of fashionable music phones, Motorola PEBL phone (pronounced pebble) - the next generation consumer level handset from Motorola, the SLVR cellphone (pronounced Sliver) - a thin candy bar handset styled like the RAZR, and Motorola's A910 - a Linux OS powered clamshell with WiFi.
