Chances are high for readers to make an inauspicious impression about me and I am aware of the fact that I take a bear by the tooth right now, but I can’t help myself. It’s something that goes beyond my comprehension and I can’t do anything about it. David Beckham is so very special for the youngster I’ve been (it was a couple of years ago) and I must confess that I really liked the guy, with his numerous hairstyles, tattoos and “I’m not such a bad guy after all” smile.

It’s not something new, you’d say, because many (sooooo many) women are crazy about the football player, but we all have a past. Disgraceful, here and there, but I’m sure that some things in our lives had to happen, no matter what.

Seeing this picture of David Beckham made me remember an adolescence that was “absorbed” by a character that seemed to be the most fascinating on earth at that time being. And it was inevitable to notice that he is holding a device I know very well in his hands, a Motorola AURA, which makes me wonder about the reason why he does that. Ok, it must be a commercial. Another important thing in the David Beckham biography.



It’s just that rumors say that Motorola is facing a touch period these days and it’s difficult to understand why they have chosen to make such a commercial that must have cost them pretty much. The bad thing about this commercial is that the cute guy does nothing. Ok, maybe I’m mean, he’s looking good, so I can’t say he does nothing. He gives another piece of his body, but come on! We’re all accustomed so such “show offs”.

It seems that a couple of weeks are more than enough for a company to see and analyze the reaction provoked among the potential customers by a certain device. After this period, the manufacturer can decide what’s in the best interest of the mobile phone that is expected to hit the market.

This is what happened with the Motorola Evoke, a handset that was first seen back at the beginning of this month, when the leaked pictures and technical details weren’t accompanied by the official announcement.

Presented as a “socially-inclined device”, the Motorola Evoke QA4 has just been introduced to the public. Now, the information is official. The phone comes with a 2.8 inch full touchscreen, full touchscreen QWERTY keyboard and a traditional keypad that slides out, an accelerometer, noise reduction technology, Bluetooth connectivity, CDMA and EVDO Rev A connectivity, assisted GPS, full HTML browser, instant messaging, music player and a 2 megapixel camera.



You can even customize the home screen of your Motorola Evoke with integrated widgets that allow you to access information in real time, social networking sites or your RSS feeds.

The phone measures 108 x 50.5 x 17.5 millimeters and weighs 128 grams, providing approximately 5.5 hours of talk time and no more than 450 hours of stand-by time.

As for the availability, the phone will hit the American market sometime in the second quarter of 2009, but, unfortunately, the information about the price is still unknown.

Sony Ericsson could do it. Who says Motorola won’t also be able to do it? Sony Ericsson announced the release of the MS500, their new outdoor wireless speaker, which is the first one of this type. It was time for Motorola to closely follow the footsteps of the Swedish-Japanese company and to release their version of a Bluetooth speaker.

Compared to the MS500, which wasn’t given the official treatment, the Motorola T325 wasn’t released with the same “fuss”, if I may say so. There were no fireworks, applauses, a press release, or something like this.

You can use the Bluetooth speaker when driving your car, as a hands-free system. The bad news is that the details concerning the features, the specs or the dimensions are unknown for the moment. What we suppose, on the other hand, is that the device will be compatible with the Motorola phones that are equipped with Bluetooth with A2DP.

You’ll have to content yourself with the picture above, ‘cause this is the only way to make an impression of the Motorola Bluetooth speaker. Unfortunately, the details about the price and the availability are also to be given to the public by the company in the next couple of months. Or at least this is what we hope.

A rugged cell phone is probably the best alternative that someone can choose from the wide variety of devices that we are constantly offered, because the environment can prove itself to be very nasty sometimes. And there’s no doubt about the fact that we don’t need a cell phone which decides to die when we least expect it.

Sprint decided to release a brand new version of an old model, the Motorola i850 iDEN, a rugged phone, which you can buy right away, just in case you’re interested in it.

It’s not difficult to see that “highly visible yellow” outfit of the new handset, as it’s a very powerful color that catches everyone’s attention. Talking about power, the battery is a 1130 mAh one, providing approximately 200 minutes of talk time, which is pretty good.

Besides these differences, compared to the old version, this rugged cell phone didn’t change very much, being also certified to Military Standard 810F, which means the yellow i850 is resistant to all sorts of factors, from shocks, vibration, dust or solar radiation to extreme temperatures, low pressure, rain, fog and humidity.

The features list of the Motorola i850 consists of the following: an 1.9 inch TFT internal display with a resolution of 176x220 pixels and 262k colors, a white STN external display with a resolution of 96x32 pixels, an 1.3 megapixel camera, GPS functionality, Bluetooth connectivity, MMS capabilities, Nextel Direct Connect, iDEN 800/900 MHz and microSD card slot for expandable memory.

The phone measures 3.8 x 2.2 x 1.1 inches and weighs no more than 5.1 ounces.

The yellow version of the Motorola i850 rugged cell phone is already available via Sprint and can be yours for $119. It’s just that you’ll have to sign a 2-year contract agreement for this price.

Music addicts can never have enough alternatives when it comes to their music centric cell phones. This is why manufacturers should always keep an eye on this segment and take good care of their interests. And here we have a phone that was kind of neglected by everyone, but it seems that Motorola decided – finally, if I might say so – to officially release it. It’s the Motorola EM300 (also known as Ischia), a cell phone focused on music features that music lovers aren’t willing to live without.

Back in July 2008, the phone was approved by FCC, a piece of good news for the manufacturer, but since then, there was no word about the EM300 anymore. Because time has passed and left its mark on the phone, the device isn’t the same, now that it’s ready to hit the American market.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

The features list includes the following: a touch-sensitive external screen, an 1.3 megapixel camera with video capabilities, tri band EDGE, stereo Bluetooth, Crystal Talk technology, FM radio with RDS, “3D Sound” Surround-sound quality, 3.5mm headphone jack, EQ provided with 11 pre-set genres that are included, the dedicated music key, an internal memory of only 20MB and, of course, a microSD card support for external memory of no more than 2GB.

This new Motorola music phone is expected to start selling in the second quarter of 2009 via AT&T.
