Motorola introduced its VE465 semi-rugged clamshell handset, available on Alltel’s website. But there’s no word on pricing details just yet. Those living in Canada can check out the VE465 on Telus if inclined, where it shall be known as the “Motorola VE465 Active Edition”.

Some specs include: CDMA 800/1900/1700/2100 connectivity, 1.9″ TFT internal display with 176 x 220 pixels and 65k colors, 1.05″ CSTN external display with 96 x 80 pixels, Brew OS, Stereo Bluetooth, Music/video player, 1.3 megapixel camera, USB 2.0, and a microSD memory card slot.

Motorola has done it. With the upcoming Motorola i465 iDEN they have created a full-QWERTY phone that is uglier than the ugliest thing beat by an ugly stick. Well, maybe it’s not that bad. Specific details are sparse but it will likely have a VGA camera, Bluetooth 2.0 and iDEN PTT.

The main selling point seems to be iDEN connectivity with a QWERTY keypad thrown in for messaging friends. No word yet on when Motorola will actually launch the i465, but this should happen via Sprint Nextel in the US.

Motorola must be feeling good about themselves, because they switched up the name a little bit and it isn’t in all caps. But they lose some points for originality since this phone is so similar to the original RAZR. Do they want to sell phones or not?

We’re guessing these aren’t going to move all that well. The Motorola Ruby aka VE1, will feature a 5 megapixel camera and a flip phone design. That’s about all we know.

The image above is another press photo of the Motorola ZN300 that has leaked and is making the rounds. It’s a nice looking phone for sure. The navigation pad seems a little odd, but check it out, they’ve included a 3.5mm headset jack that will make a lot of users happy.

Some features include a 3 megapixel camera, Opera Mini browser, QVGA display and a Linux-based OS. It looks good, but with so many options available to users from other manufacturers, the only way this does well is if it has a crazy cheap price.

AT&T decided to add another model to its rugged push-to-talk-compatible lineup, in the form of the Tundra from Motorola. This one has been available on Rogers for awhile. Some features include: 3G, 2 megapixel camera, stub antenna, AGPS, QVGA display, and microSD expansion.

It’s built to Military Standard MIL-STD 810F specifications to withstand the toughest abuse. So go ahead mistreat this bad boy. It just keeps going and asks for more. Great phone for those who like to be rough with their gadgets.

It really has to suck for you gals who are into technology. You deserve more than just pink gadgets. Because you are smarter then they give you credit for. You deserve high end specs and “pretty” that comes in a variety of colors with an elegant design. Sadly, this new Motorola basic phone fits the usual stereotype: pink with regular specs.

The design however is a little nicer then the usual offerings. It’s subtle and elegant. It still has pink, but it’s discreet with 3.5G. The Motorola PEBL Rose Bloom will be available in Korea from SK telecom. No word on price yet. We know that it features a touch sensitive external panel, a 2 MP camera, a 3.5 mm audio jack, Bluetooth and HSDPA.

Motorola’s newest music phone, the MOTOROKR EM35 has just been released, and it hopes that you will choose it as your new means of listening to music and handling phone calls. Some features include: CrystalTalk technology, Virtual surround sound, Integrated FM radio, Supports a wide range of audio formats, 3.1 megapixel camera and microSDHC memory card slot.

You can enjoy all the MOTOMUSIC player action you want. The MOTOROKR EM35 will be available before the end of the year. It’s a fairly decent phone. Not bad looking either. But today it’s the N97 that’s getting all the attention.

Last night I noticed that Joel at BoingBoing Gadgets discovered an overly in love “fan” of the Motorola Krave who had been trolling their comments for the last few weeks. The dude’s comments seemed oddly familiar. So I checked our own comments here at the ‘Brick. Guess what? He struck here too. A few times.

This brazen bandit doesn’t even wear a mask, freely admitting that he works for Motorola while simultaneously and textually stroking the Krave. Sometimes he mixes it up, but mostly it’s the same old tune, which goes something like this. “This phone is cool, but I think the Motorola Krave is the next big thing hands down. I like the Krave’s touch screen display and 2 megapixel video camera. Check it out online at motorola.com/krave. I’ve been a fan of this thing ever since I started …

It does exist. And the Motorola Atila is ready for it’s blurry closeup, proving that Motorola still has this phone under development. Some specs include: Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, Tri-band UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA (850MHz/1900MHz/2100MHz), 7.2Mbps HSDPA, 1.8Mbps HSUPA, 2.8? QVGA 240 x 320 screen, Wi-Fi b/g connectivity, Qualcomm 7201A chipset, and Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. Decent specs, and yeah the screen could do with an upgrade. Maybe a full VGA screen like the Touch Diamond.

Looks like Motorola is getting ready to add the QA30 to their Q-Series lineup complete with a sliding QWERTY keypad and un-shocking specs. Some of those specs include: CDMA, 1x-EVDO connectivity, 2.5 inch TFT, Full HTML browser, 2 MP camera, Bluetooth, and MicroSD / MicroSDHC card support, up to 32GB.

If you’re an Alltel customer looking for a cheap QWERTY, this might be for you. The design is more chunky then sleek. If that doesn’t bother you, then go for it. No word on price or availability, but it should be affordable when it hits.

If you like the ZN5, but want something more, uh…rounded, and a slider, Motorola has something new for you. The VE66. It will give you a 5-megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash, image stabilization, WiFi, FM radio, CrystalTalk noise reduction, and a nice navigation wheel to make your life easier. It should launch some time this quarter. It’s got lots of good looks over the ZN5.

If you’re looking for a way to get around the £2,000 price tag associated with Motorola’s latest luxury phone, the Aura, get ready to be disappointed. The telecommunications company will be introducing a legal contract for new owners that prevents them from selling the Aura on eBay.

The only party they are legally allowed to sell the handset back to is…Motorola. I wonder just how legal that move actually is in itself. Apparently they are aiming to keep the Aura extremely exclusive. First off, the tactic won’t work. Secondly, that sort of contractual threatening will turn many buyers off. All we can say is, Good luck with your fancy phone sales.

Motorola used to be one of the biggest companies in the mobile phone market thanks to its Razr handset. When the popularity of the Razr waned so did Motorola’s market share. Today Motorola is one of the firms fighting for the dollars of mobile phone shoppers everywhere.

Motorola and T-Mobile have announced a new handset called the Motozine ZN5. The ZN5 is most notable for its camera featuring Kodak technology. The camera is a 5MP unit with auto-focus and is optimized for low light conditions. It also features a built-in Xenon flash. Several capture and edit modes are offered including panorama, grayscale, sepia, negative and more.

What is this new pretty thing? Surely that’s too nice to be a phone. It’s Motorola’s latest, the premium Aura handset, and it’s all about design. It was inspired by high end swiss watches. The phone’s switch blade design all by itself is driven by over 200 parts and 130 of them are ball bearings used to open the handset up to an estimated 100,000 times before failure. It doesn’t end there.

The display is the work of fine engineering too. Just 1.55-inches in diameter, it’s the “world’s first” circular cellphone screen and features 16 million colors and 300 dpi clarity. I guess it doesn’t hurt that it’s coated with 62-carat sapphire crystal too, in order to prevent scratching. The phone is quad band with GPRS and EDGE featuring 7.3 hours of talk time, 2GB, AGPS, stereo Bluetooth, microUSB port, and 2MP camera. It will be available starting December 4th for $2,000. Fine watch quality, fine watch price.

Apparently Motorola is upgrading the design on it’s V70 handset, with this new V70 Retro model. It’s been shy up until now, but is just making its first appearance thanks to CTI-Miami.com.

There aren’t many details aside from the fact that it has a 5-megapixel camera, and looks like a sort of flattened retro capsule when closed. It’s a different design which is refreshing. The model name is subject to change too. Hit the link for a few more pics.
