Another day, another leaked image of some company’s newest mobile. Today’s unlucky company is Motorola and the device in question is the MOTO ROKR W5. With its orange on black fashion statement it certainly stands out, and as Gizmodo said in its headline (and we agree), it looks like Darth Maul’s cell phone. Can you say “Hello Moto” to a Sith Lord without getting chopped up by the guy’s lightsaber?

The specs for the ROKR W5 also got dumped to the internets. This baby is going to have 20 MB of memory, have Bluetooth connectivity, will have a microSD memory card slot and a 96×85 65K color display for you to text “Sith Lord ownz u” to those annoying Jedi Knights. The device runs off of a 880 mAh Li-Ion battery.

Motorola revealed today plans to debut its highly desired Razr2 mobile phone from major U.S. wireless carriers Alltel, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile USA, US Cellular, and Verizon Wireless. Specific availability and pricing plans are at the discretion of the carriers, though some are expected to make the phone available shortly.

The Motorola Razr2 is considered a significant improvement over the original Razr. This new model gives you a larger internal screen for what Motorola says will be an ability to have full HTML Web browsing. There will also be an external screen which provides “touch feedback” and lets users view media, music and messaging without needing to flip open the phone.

It looks like Motorola might be emerging soon with a new clamshell style media phone named the ROKR U9. PhoneScoop is reporting from a “source” that the U9 will have a PEBL-like rounded look to it with an added large color LCD on the front along with music playback controls. Also notable is a mini-USB connection which looks like it may not support and standard headphone jack and instead require mini-USB headphones. This would kinda’ stink but it’s not unheard of for Motorola.

No more details were given in regards to price or release date of the ROKR U9, but we’ll keep watching. This one looks like it might be a pretty nice media phone, and possible a higher-end model from Motorola.

The Boy Genius Report has gotten their hands on an early version of the upcoming Motorola Z9 with a number of very cool looking photos. According to the report the Z9 has 3G, a 2 megapixel camera (and a flash), Synergy OS and a microSD card slot. It’s also looks like it’s going AT&T’s way with an AT&T branded browser key and firmware.

From the photos the Motorola Z9 is a thin slider-style handset with a some type of click-wheel for navigation and some funky looking buttons, but this is an early prototype so it could be that these buttons will be covered with something a little nicer when it’s done. A very cool look nonetheless. We can’t wait to see more about this one.

Check out more pictures at the BGR gallery.

Well, hello sexy. This lovely piece of tech is the Motorola Q900, also known by the cooler nickname Zante. The first thing you will notice is the attractive deep purple-on-black color scheme which is a real eye-catcher. Specs and features include a 5 row backlit QWERTY keyboard that’s revealed once you slide up the screen; a 2.4-inch QVGA 65K TFT display; 1.3 MP imager; game controllers; web browsing with Javascript support; Bluetooth connectivity; 128 MB memory (expandable up to 2 GB); Push email; IM support for AIM, Microsoft and Yahoo; MP3, WAV, MIDI, AAC, AAC+ and WMA audio file support; and EDGE connectivity (via T-Mobile.) The OS is Motorola’s Danger.

Availability of the Zante will be October and it will go for an amazing $269. Can it compete with the iPhone? We’d like to put them side-by-side and see which one is pawed the most.

We had talked about the new Motorola Motorizr Z8 last week when it was officially unveiled but now the company is doing something especially novel to get us to pimp their phone again: how about having a mountaineer making calls from the top of the world? Rod Baber is an experienced mountain climber that is currently scaling Mount Everest. One of the items Rod brought with him is the new Z8 so that he could take and send back photos, text messages and voice calls from the very summit of Everest. Why do that? Well, as the company’s webpage plainly says, “Because no one else has.”

After ascending the mountain and beaming back photos/text messages from his trek, on Monday, May 21 Baber made a call using his Motorizr Z8 from 29,035 feet, …

Excuse me, Mr. Jobs? Motorola would like you to look at its new “media monster”, the fresh-faced MOTO Z8. Announced yesterday, this 109mm x 50mm x 15mm black beauty with Xbox green trim lets you watch your favorite video at rates of 30 frames per second. It comes with 80 MB of internal memory but can be expanded up to a super-sized 32 GB with the right microSD cards (that’s enough to store 12 movies or 70 hours of tunes.)

The 2.2-inch QVGA screen displays16 million colors, perfect for watching “The Bourne Identity” since it comes pre-loaded on a 512 MB card that ships with the device. The 2MP camera has an 8x zoom capability with flash and several modes and the VGA camera is ideal for any two-way video calls you need to make with the office.

Broadband transmission rate is 3.6Mbps HSDPA …

Yesterday Motorola unveiled several new additions to its mobile line of phones and the one that commanded the most attention may have been the RAZR2 V9m. This compact (103 mm x 53.24 mm x 11.9 mm) flip phone has a 2.0 megapixel camera with 4x zoom, two 320×240 screens (the internal one is slightly larger clocking in at 2.2 inches), has video playback capability (MPEG4, H.263, H.264 support), can play your music (AAC, AAC+, MP3, WMA and more formats), can browse the web and is of course stereo Bluetooth enabled.

The new ARM 11 processor makes the new RAZR ten times faster than its predecessor, allowing transfer times of 2-3 seconds for a single song. It’s also speaker-enabled so you can dial your buds, check your email or do calculator tricks by using your personal voice box. You can also check your received emails, call …

Motorola today released a new purple MOTORAZR V3i which is incidentally available only through the MOTOSTORE.

Aside from the flashy exterior color released just in time to order for Mother’s Day, the new purple version of the RAZR has the same popular form and function of the regular MOTORAZR by supporting Quad-Band and Bluetooth connectivity and housing a 1.23 megapixel camera. The phone ships without a service plan, is unlocked and is compatible with any GSM phone service.

This purple MOTORAZR is available for purchase now for about $240, where you can get a regular ol’ blue RAZR less the $10 purple premium.

T-Mobile has rolled out a new phone for a price package that costs just a hair under $100.

The MotoRIZR is a mobile that comes with a 1.9-inch screen, 2.0 megapixel camera, 8x digital zoom lens, built-in flash, stereo Bluetooth, quad-band GSM, a voice-activated dialing feature, photo caller ID, speakerphone option, video capture/playback, calculator and calendar software and a 128 MB microSD card. The battery life is good for about three hours talking time (and a standby life of eight days.)

The price for the MotoRIZR is $249.99 but T-Mobile is shaving off a $100 discount and a $50 rebate right now bringing the total to a penny less than one hundred beans if you sign up for the two-year contract option. That’s definitely not a bad price for a slider phone using Motorola technology.

You may never need your computer to have a tough outer shell capable of withstanding the great outdoors but for search and rescue personnel, fire and emergency crews or military personnel stationed in out of the way places, it’s a necessity.

Motorola has stepped up to the likes of the Diamond SwitchBack offering two new PCs designed for such jobs, the ML910 Rugged Notebook and MW810 Mobile Workstation. Both systems are wireless-enabled and made to work in different extremes of climate, with the ML910 having a hard drive heater (!) just in case you snap open this baby in a place where it’s below freezing, as well as having diagnostic software that monitors the internal temperature, working to prevent any lock-ups or power outages as a result of high heat or sub-zero cold.

Motorola has unveiled two new additions to its Q platform of smart phones with the arrival of the fully customizable Moto Q q9 and the Moto Q gsm.

The gsm model adds a few new features to the original Moto Q model while retaining the original’s lightweight, attractive design elements. An electro-luminescent QWERTY keypad, full-color screen and side thumb wheel make it convenient to answer your email or flip through your messages. The gsm runs Microsoft Windows Mobile 6, Motorola’s Good Messaging Technology, has over 300 tweaked Motorola apps and includes quad-band GPRS and EDGE connectivity. It hits store shelves in the second half of 2007 with pricing specs to be unveiled at that time.

With added design features the Moto Q q9 comes across as the better dressed older brother. Featuring a more stylized design, rounded corners, a couple …

Motorola has announced the new MOTORIZR Z8 from Motorola featuring a sleek design that’s becoming commonplace with Motorola phones, but this one has a slight twist, or more of an angle really.

The Z8 has a “kick slider” design, which slides out to expose the keypad while creating a slight angle to match the contour of the face. The intention here is to make the use of the mobile phone more a little more comfortable, and we’re always happy to see new designs for cell phones, even if it is just a slight change.

The MOTORIZR Z8 packs some decent multimedia capabilities with a 2 megapixel camera that can shoot photos as well as video with audio straight to an MPEG4 format. The handset also houses a 16 million color QVGA display and supports video playback at up to 30 frames per second.

Multimedia can be …
