Motorola launches six handsets
Motorola’s just had a mass phone release, with six new handsets announced for the coming months. All the phones are part of Motorola’s clamshell line. The two we’ve got photos of at the moment are the E550 and the V620 [edit: and now the v550 as well]. Full details of all the phones follow and we’ll add photos as and when we get them. The E550 (far right) is a T-Mobile handset that’s being aimed at the entry level market – and is thus inevitably being described as “fun and funky”. It’s not too shabby on features, however, with Bluetooth, video playback, VGA camera and picture caller ID. The V620 is pitched more as a stylish, fashion phone and much is made of the “beautifully tactile matte black and silver” finish. The phone comes with a VGA camera, video playback and capture, Bluetooth 262K colour screen and lots of games.
Despite the fact that the company has shown several megapixel phones – both 3G and GPRS – we’ve yet to see one over here in the UK. We can’t say we’re not disappointed that this latest batch of releases doesn’t include a megapixel handset. Maybe Moto’s biding its time to release something that will wipe the floor with the Nokia, Siemens, Sony Ericsson (etc) handsets, but there’s a chance it could also get left behind.
Details of the other handsets follow.
