Motorola ROKR E8 and RIZR Z10 details

Two New Motorola Phones are rumoured to be officialy announced by Motorola very soon. The ROKR E8 and RIZR Z10 , still unconfirmed by Motorola, are due to be launched this year.

The ROKR E8 (pronounced Rocker) is going to be primarily a music phone, and will also have a backlit keyboard which will change depending on the function being undertaken on the phone. The keyboard will also include a vibration function which will vibrate to inform users they have pressed a key.

Navigation will also be assisted by a device known as the “Omega Wheel” which one can only assume will function similar to that of an ipod wheel. The phone will also contain all the standard functions now expected from phones including: 2-megapixel camera, fm radio, QVGA display, 2 GB internal memory and Micro SD capabilities.

The ROKR E8 is predicted to be launched in November and cost around 280 Euros.

The RIZR Z10, the successor to the Z8, will be a Sliding Symbian Handset offering GPRS, EDGE and HDSPA. The feature set will include a scratch resistant 16 million colour screen, 3.3 Mega Pixel Camera and 30 fps video recording capability.

The RIZR Z10 is rumoured to launch in December and be priced at 400 Euros.
