A bunch of new pictures of the upcoming Sprint's exclusive Motorola RAZR VE20 have surfaced today.

The phone is described as having V9m feature set while sharing a similar design with the V3m model.

It will become available this Sunday for a yet unknown price.

Rogers has finally released the Motorola ROKR E8 today. The phone is charged $99 with a 3-year contract, but if you think that's a reasonable price then check out the BestBuy.com. They offer the phone for just $65 on the same terms. How do you like that? After all, $34 make difference...

Motorola Atila is a new leaked handset from the manufacturer, a non-QWERTY counterpart to the recently unveiled Alexander. I must say it looks definitely better than the latter and has the potential to become popular once it's released.

Features include:

• Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE;
• Tri-band UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA;
• Wi-Fi 802.11b/g;
• 2.

This is the recently spotted yet unannounced Motorola VE240. There is litle known about it so far, but according to the available info the phone apparently belongs to the budget category, supports CDMA network, and features a small 65K color screen, Bluetooth and dedicated music keys, which prove its music playback capabilities.

Naturally, there's no info on the release date and price.

Motorola has added three new handsets to its ROKR music-centric line-up, the EM30 candybar (in pic), EM28 flip, and EM25 slider. The E30 model carries over the E8's design style, but offers a regular d-pad for navigation instead of the touch-sensitive wheel. Other two have the similar design, only in different form factors.

This is the recently leaked Motorola Alexander, an upcoming Windows Mobile handset with the following known specifications:

• Windows Mobile 6.1 (looks like Windows Mobile 7);
• 5-8Mpix camera;
• NVIDIA 3D graphics chipset;
• A-GPS

The release is scheduled for Q4 2008. Stay tuned for more details...

Apparently, there are several new LiMo handsets to be released in the nearest future, thus amounting in 21 units.

Among them are handsets from Motorola, NEC and Panasonic Mobile. The following devices should become available today:

• MOTOZINE ZN5 from Motorola
• FOMA N906i, FOMA N906iµ, FOMA N906iL and FOMA N706i from NEC
• FOMA P906i and FOMA P706i&mic

MOTOMODDING has unearthed what they claim to be the official (yet unannounced) AT&T-branded Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM for the Motorola Q9h handset. What else can I say? Those risky ones can try the update now, otherwise I'd suggest everyone to wait for the official announcement, as it will follow up soon.

Right after Motorola's ROKR U9 became available through Motostore yesterday, Fido started offering the same handset to its canadian customers. The phone is available now for $75 on a 3-year contract, $175 with a 2-year contract or a whole $350 contract-free.
