Motorola debuts new handsets
Motorola showcased their two new handset models at the CES 2008 in Las Vegas: the ROKR E8 and the Moto Z10. These two models are a refreshing change from the close-to-be-sickening line of RAZR phones.
The ROKR E8 continues Motorola’s line of music-centric phones, but what sets this new unit apart from its ancestors is that it flaunts a touch keypad that does away with the traditional mechanical keys. This new innovation allows for the controls to change depending on the function of the phone: from music player to camera to phone. Haptic feedback is provided for tactile response and employs navigation control dubbed as the Omega Wheel for menu navigation. It comes with a built-in 2.0-megapixel camera and is quad-band, but data communication is limited to GPRS and EDGE only.
The Moto Z10, on the other hand, is a kick-slider with a 3.2-megapixel camera and built-in video editing tools that allow you to add soundtrack to your video or even overlay text and directly upload them to video sites such as YouTube. These are cool features for the video freak always on the go. It comes loaded with 8 GB of memory and supports up to 32 GB of additional storage. This one is 3.5G ready which will come handy especially when uploading videos to the web. With 30 fps video recording and a bright 2.2-inch QVGA display, this baby is meant for the budding videographer.
No sign of the 5-megapixel Z12, but these two will suffice for now. For more pics, check out the photo gallery of Gizmodo’s trip to CES.




Gosh, when will these handsets be introduced in the Philipines? Motorola Phils takes too long to introduce new brands. Z-10 looks supercoooooool!
