Rick Wolochatiuk, new chief of Motorola's Korean phone division, said that Motorola will expand its third-generation phone models with the launch of Z8m and "Z8m is only the beginning of our rich portfolio for the Korean 3G market," he added.

Sleek and stylish, the Motorola MOTO U9 is a clamshell phone aimed at music lovers.

Well is the U9 worth getting? If you like it, the answer is definitely YES. We are in love with its outer appearance and are with mixed feelings only about the black on the inside. However, it surely looks cool in the grey color variant of the phone, which is for the gentlemen

With dual cameras, meaning more creative ways to snap pictures, this high-tech Motorola phone is strong on both aesthetics and features. No word yet on if this concept will go into production.

You could put a red transparent gel over one lens and blue over the other to create some pretty sweet 3D style pictures. One camera could be set up for video and the other for pictures for multitasking. I wonder if using side-by-side cameras could create 3D pictures somehow?

At 107 x 46 x 16mm, the Motorola RIZR Z6c packs a 2.0-inch TFT display, 2.0-megapixel camera, 40MB of built-in memory, microSD card slot, USB connectivity, and Bluetooth. Video review after the break. Click here for first picture in gallery. Here's the bottom line:

The Motorola Z6c is a quality device and should be considered by consumers who require a Verizon phone that can also be used internationally. The call quality and reception were both good, with no distortion or interference. Overall, we would recommend the Z6c if you require a Verizon phone that can be used internationally on GSM networks

At just 115 x 53 x 10.6mm, the Motorola ROKR E8 features a 2-inch TFT display, 2GB of internal memory, 2.0-megapixel camera, miniSD slot, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, and a nifty touch-sensitive keypad. Video after the break. Click here for one more picture.

At 109 x 50 x 16.5mm, the Motorola RIZR Z10 features a 3.15-megapixel camera, 2.2-inch display, TI 2420 multimedia processor, 77MB of built-in memory, microSD card slot, HSDPA, Bluetooth 2.0 w/A2DP, and a nifty kick-slider design. Video after the break. Click here for first picture in gallery.

The changes start from the materials used. Instead of the black-yellowish themes (target group 18-25), the metal bodied Z10 is definitely targeting the more mature audiences. The metal looks very much like stainless steel, but in actuality is some type of light-weight alloy. Not sure if because of new material, but the kick-slider is a lot easier to slide up and down

Motorola's DynaTAC (Dynamic Adaptive Total Area Coverage) 8000X was the world's first commercially released mobile phone -- making its debut in 1983 at the price of $3,995. Click here for more pictures.

At just 11.8mm, the Motorola Q9m features a 320 x 240 display, microSD card slot, 256MB of built-in memory, Bluetooth w/A2DP, and a 2.0-megapixel camera. Here's the bottom line:

While the Q9M makes serious strides compared to the original Q, there are still some minor issues to consider. A weak signal and so-so battery life can be deal breakers for some. Its laggy processor can also be frustrating at times. Even with these detractors, the Q9M is much more stylish, has improved hardware and usability of the keyboard, and has powerful smartphone and productivity capabilities

The RAZR2 is still just a RAZR. Yes, it has a slightly sexier body and a new external display with fancy touch sensitive areas, but little else has changed. Unfortunately, the touch sensitive screen is under-used, even on the V9m. For the most part it is little more than slightly fancier music controls and the V9m simply adds on a launcher.

Boy Genius has somehow uncovered a real photo of it, with little other info but this single pic. So go ahead, behold the beauty, the majesty of Danger's T-Mobile-bound Sidekick Slide
