Motorola released two new handsets in their W-series entry-level line. The W230 and W270 are dual-band GSM (850/1900) handsets that include a standard FM radio, as well as an MP3 music player with a microSD slot for storing songs. Both phones also feature CrystalTalk for clearer phone calls and new features to make texting simpler including starting a new text with a single key press.

The W270 is a clamshell style phone that is expected to come to smaller carriers in the US, while the W230 is a bar-style phone less likely to be sold here

ROKR E8:
A bar-style quad-band GSM phone with a unique morphing keypad that only has music keys in music mode and only camera keys in camera mode. A new kind of haptic feedback allows the flat, smooth surface of the keypad to emulate the real feel of individual key presses. Other features include Linux/Java software, 3.5mm headphone jack, 2 GB of built-in memory plus a memory card slot, EDGE data, a 2 megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, and a physical key lock switch.

The Z10
An upgraded version of the Z8, which shares the same UIQ software and “kick slide” design. Upgrades include in-phone video editing, support for microSD memory cards up to 32 GB, 30 fps video capture, and a 3.2 megapixel still camera with 1.5 second start-up time.

The Z10 is the fastest cameraphone on the market, capturing images in about a second (compared to about five seconds on an average phone). It can also capture high-quality video at 30-fps.

The Krzr is one slick cell phone,very well-designed. It’s not only smaller than its older version, the Razr, but it is even a little more stylish. Motorola Kzr has all the latest multi-media features including MP3 playback, a 1.3-megapixel camera and video recorder. Even though, the Krzr’s display isn’t as clear or crisp as other cell phones being introduced, it’s okay for this small cell phone. If you’re in the market for a highly pocketable and stylish cell phone that’s simple to use and has stellar call quality, consider the Motorola Krzr. You won’t be disappointed.

When we heard for first time about the Krzr, we wondered how Motorola will develop an already slick cell phone. Well, they did a few good things actually. For starters, the back of the cell phone is slightly rubberized. Plus, the face of the cell phone, which has a gun metal coloring shares a slight resemblance to Nokia’s high-end (they cost $1,000 and up) Vertu line of cell phones. In addition, there are touch-sensitive play/pause, fast forward and rewind buttons on the exterior, similar to the LG Chocolate. Thankfully, the buttons aren’t nearly as sensitive. Our favorite element is its actual size. It’s about the same width as the Motorola Pebl and about half as thin. It’s a tad longer, making it about the same length as the original Razr.
The display is bright but not nearly crisp as, say, the screen on the Samsung A990. Our only quibble with the cell phone’s design is the front of the cell phone attracts a lot of grease and fingerprints quickly. But we can live with that flaw – the Krzr’s that eye-catching.
