Live from the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona, Motorola has today announced the new MOTORIZR Z8 slider style handset. The Z8 is notable for several reasons, not least because of its Symbian-based user interface, which comes as a change for Motorola.
The MOTORIZR Z8 sports HSDPA high-speed data and a design tooled for both mobile video streaming and talk with an interesting "kick slide" feature, allowing for a fit-to-face profile by having the slide move in a curve. The device sports a 2.2" QVGA resolution display, 90MB of on board memory with microSD memory expansion, and Bluetooth with A2DP. All this is packed into a handset just 15.3mm (0.6") thick. A 2.0 megapixel camera and full music playback capabilities are also included. Battery life for the Z8 is rated at 5 hours talk time and 16 hours standby.
The MOTORIZR Z8 will be available in the first half of 2007, with specific markets and retail pricing not yet announced.
