Tech N Gadgets: Motorola


motorola E8

After the ZN5 Camera phone, Motorola is all set again to launch another handset.
On July 7th the new Motorola Rokr E8 will make its debut through T-Mobile. As such, you can only get it exclusively at T-Mobile for $199 and a two-year contract.
By all appearances, Roker E8 has resemblance to the other Motorola phones, I guess that can’t be helped. Using it will make you see the big difference though. Motorola Rokr E8 has ModeShift that transforms the phone to a music player. It makes use of Windows Media Player. You can immediately listen to it since it comes pre-loaded with music. But if you don’t want to listen to MP3s, there’s always the built-in FM tuner.

Motorola ZN5

Maybe Motorola’s financial condition is already stable that is why it is able to focus on developing a new phone for the market. Eighteen months ago, Motorola came into partnership with camera maker Kodak. Finally this partnership is coming into fruition with the new MOTOZINE ZN5. You have to check this out because its major feature is being a cameraphone.

If you’re a picture addict this is the perfect device for you. It is fixed up with a 5-megapixel camera lens that is protected by a sliding lens cover. Furthermore, it has a Xenon flash for lighting up the scene. The outcome is excellent, all crisp and life-like.

Motorola separation

Motorola now breaks its silence. Maybe some will be surprised to know that the company has split its operations in two. As was announced yesterday, Motorola is splitting itself into two independent companies. One will focus on the making mobile gadgets while the other will take on development of network infrastructure. The process of the separation is still ongoing and if all their negotiations succeed, the official split will happen in 2009.

Though the phone I use is a Sony Ericsson, I can’t help my eyes from wandering to the Motorola handsets. I just love looking at the clamshell design of the Motorola phones. If I change my phone maybe my next choice would be a Motorola. Well, I wish I can get my hands on this MOTORAZR2 V8 Luxury Edition, sad that I don’t have the means. However, if you have the resources then get one exclusively from MOTO STORE. This one is also of clamshell design with 18K gold-plated accents on the navigation key, hinge and medallion. It also bears a snakeskin-like texture. Adding to its exterior charm is the large external display.

Motorola is again taking technology a notch higher with their recent partnership with Microvision. Micrsovision is the expert in developing small laser-based projectors. So what do you think is Motorola’s intention in this partnership? Will they be building projectors now as well? This is right but not accurately correct. Motorola with Microvision will not be developing projectors per se because their partnership will bring about new mobile gadgets with projectors integrated within them. The projector envisioned for these devices is not really in a large scale but would be more convenient than the limited displays offered by most mobile devices. As they described it, it will be larger than the mobile displays but smaller than the display of your PC or home entertainment projector.

Moto ROKR U9 Music Phone

Motorola is about to unleash a new product that could belong in its music phone line-up. This gadget I’m talking about is what they call as the ROKR U9. After the consonant-deficient names for their previous phones like RAZR, RIZR and SLVR…oh and KRZR, it’s no longer much of a surprise that once again Motorola came up with the name as ROKK U9. But according to some sources these characters have significance and meaning, and were not just randomly chosen.

Motorola Z8

Everyone is crying out for the iPhone, so to make a change why not settle for the Motorola Z8, also fondly called the “Media Monster”, as your complete entertainment device. Yes, it is a device that can give you absolute entertainment since it offers mobile TV as well as video and music in one compact gadget. This Motorola Z8 is now just released in Europe specifically in Spain through Telefonica via Movistar and in just a short span of time Asia will also be the next recipient of the Z8.

Motorola O ROKR Bluetooth

Bluetooth usually comes only in the form of an earpiece. But now Motorola is taking Bluetooth design up another level with its newly developed and innovative Motorola O ROKR! It is your Bluetooth-cum-sunglasses that will enable you to use it for your phone application and at the same time listen to your favorite music. You can answer calls even if your cell phone is about 30 feet away. Playing music is a breeze as you can stream music from Bluetooth-enabled phone or music player.

Motorola Champagne Gold KRZR K1

There have been Motorola handsets that were dressed in gold like the RAZR V3i. But if your favorite Motorola cell phone happens to be the krzr K1 then you’ll find its new make up really mouth watering. Unveiled in the Pearl of the Orient Hong Kong, Motorola enthusiasts in the said place will be the first to try out the limited edition champagne gold Motokrzr K1. The fresh design and color of the phone is sure to meet the standards of the fashion conscious populace, particularly the women.

Motorola RAZR2

It’s been a while since Motorola said anything about releasing a new handset anytime soon so this news about a new RAZR coming up is really a big surprise. But a very good surprise, right? I checked out Motorola’s website and had a great and in-depth view of the new RAZR or what some fondly dub as the RAZR2. If you have seen the previous RAZR well the new model is based on that same design, only that the RAZR2 has lots of improvements in it. The designers of this phone have faced some challenges in terms of design but as you can see from the result they have surpassed them. If you think the RAZR is already thin, the RAZR2 is thinner!

Motorola had their latest created technology patented last April 17, 2007. This technology is an LCD that has the capability not only to display images but also to generate power. The Patent 7,206.044 was given to Motorola’s “Display and Solar Cell Device”. How is this possible? Motorola made use of color filters from polymer film that only shows red, blue and green lights. These lights enable the user to see the colors on the display and then some light is also allowed to seep through to the solar panel imbedded in the device. According to Motorola this new system conveys light 75% better than the traditional screens.

MOTOROKR E6 Jay Chou

When we hear the word Motorola, the first thing that comes to mind is that this is one of the leaders and innovators in the field of wireless and broadband communications. In the past months we have witnessed several enhanced Motorola phones. And just yesterday, Motorola has launched a special MOTOROKR E6 Jay Chou edition as inspired by Jay. Don’t know who he is? Well Jay Chou is no other than the talented Taiwanese musician, singer cum producer. Along with the limited edition of the MOTOROKR E6, the very first Moto x Eric So Jay Chou action figure designed by famed toy designer Eric So was also released.

Motorola V3i Gold

I have said it several times that cell phones nowadays not only serve as a practical means for communicating but also as a fashion accessory. So want to stand out from the rest with the hand set you use? Then for sure your mouth will be watering from this touched-up Motorola V3i. This particular phone is an eye-catcher being made in stainless steel gold with the front fully studded with 855 diamonds that weigh an exact 3.8 carats. This phone designed by no other than Peter Aloisson comes at a price, definitely a high price as you might expect from having a gold and diamond deign.

In the past few weeks, LG, Sony Ericsson and Samsung have offered an influx of new handsets for the market. Of course it means new and better looking phones with even better features, But wait! What about Motorola? Don’t they have something new to offer? Well Motorola doesn’t want to be left behind … as reports have it they soon have a new handset to offer the RAZR 2, most likely the successor of the RAZR. Some also dub it the LAZR.
