Motorola u9 review - Motorola Bloggo News 2010!

After the i465 and the i9, Motorola launches a new model featuring the iDEN technology, the i856 Slider. Besides the iDEN technology, the i856 doesn’t show many new features, limiting itself to a 2.2″ display, 1.3 Megapixel photocamera, bluetooth, microSD support and push-to-talk.

The i856 is expected to be launched on the third quarter of 2009, although it’s not yet sure where it’ll be distributed and what price range it’ll have.

Motorola has officially launched the MOTO VE66, previously scheduled for the end of 2008 but postponed for unknown reasons.

It features a 5 megapixel photocamera with LED flash, CrystalTalk Plus technology and widget support. The VE66 guarantees clear conversations thanks to a second microphone that registers and eliminates the background noises. In case of noisy environmnets, the Noise Adaptive Ring Tones sets the ringtone automatically, adjusting it to any situation.

Together with great telephony features, there’s also the MP3 player with FM radio, now possible to listen to the Radio without the need of headphones to function as an antenna, the Wi-Fi and many widgets such as stock market, meteorology and many downloadable contents.

The Moto VE66 is available in two versions: the basic version and the Luxury Edition.

It was first announced on July last year, and now the Motorola Ischia EM330 is back with official information this time. It’s a medium-entry level device and as such, the specifications aren’t astonishing, keeping themselves to the market’s average: 1.3 Megapixel photocamera, FM radio, 3.5mm Jack, GSM/EDGE support, microSD expansion up to 2GB and 20MB internal memory.

The Ischia also has dedicated music buttons and a series of equalizer presets. The design appears however rather old, and it makes us wonder if it’s more of an old project that took too long to be launched. It’s easy to predict that unless it’s offered for a rather competitive price, this model will not be as successful as perhaps Motorola expects it to be.

We’ve talked about this new Motorola model a few posts ago, but now it seems that FCC has in fact approved the new Evoke QA4, which could mean that the model should be launched soon.

Besides the 2.8″ display with 240×400 resolution and the 2 megapixel photocamera, the QA4 will feature a GPS with an integrated aGPS, stereo Bluetooth and Youtube/Picasa pre-installed applications. There are no other information about the technical specifications or the interface used, so we’ll have to wait for more news.

We’ve mentioned Motorola’s “rugged” new models labeled MC55 on the previous post, and now we have the chance of presenting you with a preview video of the two MC55 models, the MC5590 and MC5574.

The two models are smartphones specially built to prevent damage and scratches, featuring Windows Mobile 6.1 and in two versions, one with a QWERTY keyboard and another with a normal numeric keyboard. More information can be found on this post.

We’ll leave you to the video. Enjoy!

Motorola has announced that they’re launching a “rugged” model, which means a highly resistasnt cellphone featuring materials and shapes designed to prevent damage from water, dust, falling or scratches. The name of Motorola’s “rugged” model is MC55.

It’s a smartphone featuring Windows Mobile 6.1, 3.5″ touchscreen display, EDGE/GSM quadband, bluetooth, FM radio and 2 megapixel photocamera. The model will be available in two versions, the first called MC5574 will feature a QWERTY keyboard, while the second, called MC5590, will have the standard numeric keyboard.

Both models will be available worldwide by the end of 2009, while in the United States, it should be available around June. No price has yet been announced.

We’ve posted some images not too long ago, but now we also have the first information about the Motorola Evoke QA4, the newest slidephone from Motorola. It measures 108 x 50.5 x 17.5mm and weighs 128 grams. The diplay is 2.8″ wide and has a resolution of 240×400 pixels. It also features a 2 Megapixel photocamera.

It’s probably aimed only to the American market, and its internal memory is expandable through microSD and microSDHC cards. The price and availability haven’t yet been announced.

After many rumors and leaked images in the past few days, Motorola has finally announced their new slidephone model, the ZN300, labeled the “camera phone”. The official announcement didn’t follow any press-release or presentation. Instead, the model simply showed up on Motorola’s official website.

We’ve talked about some of the features on the ZN300 on a previous post, but today we can present more specifications. It measures 95.5 x 45.7 x 14.7 mm and weighs 102 grams. The display features a QVGA technology, and the model has a 3.1 megapixel photocamera with 8x digital zoom, LED flash and editing options. The battery guarantees 400 hours in standby or 431 minutes in conversation.

It also features pre-loaded application such as Facebook, Myspace and Youtube. The price and availability have yet to be announced.

Motorola seems to have the intention to keep on aiming for the RAZR series, at least in Asia, where the new RAZR Lúk will be launched soon in South Korea.

The cellphone features the same model that made the RAZR series famous, but the difference is the white-colored cover and the internal materials covered in 18K gold. Despite the elegant look and the HSDPA support, the RAZR Lúk is destined to remain a “luxury” item, and only available in Korea for now.
