New Motorola Phones

Motorola has been busy over the last year, and has showcased 3 new handsets, which should be released over the next few months via different carriers. First off, we have the Motorola W233, which has the distinction of being the first handset to be made from recycled water bottles, which is probably a sign that Motorola is going green too. The device has a carbon neutral footprint, so you wouldn’t be harming our environment too much and it also costs 20% less to manufacture, something that Motorola will certainly be happy about. Features of the W233 include dual-band 850/1900 GSM/EDGE, 9-hours of talk time, CrystalTalk, microSD card expansion and some basic messaging features.

The Surf A3100 is a touchscreen phone that should usher the older Ming out of the doorway. The phone should be available in Q1 in select Asian markets, though there isn’t any mention whether we’ll be getting this phone in North America. Features of this phone include Windows Mobile Profession 6.1, 2.8-inch display, stereo Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3-megapixel cameara, microSDHC card expansion, aGPS, quad-band GSM/EDGE and 850/1900/2100 tri-band HSDPA.

Finally, there is the Tundra VA76r, which is a rugged clamshell that meets military specifications. The phone will be available via AT&T and have features such as push-to-talk (PTT), CrystalTalk Plus, 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, microSD card slot, aGPS, quad-band GSM/EDGE and dual-band 850/1900 HSDPA.
