Proving that they still have some design chops left after the success and now copied RAZR, Motorola unveiled the Z8. The phone runs on the latest Symbian mobile OS with a super sharp QVGA screen, 2MP camera, VGA camera for 2-way video calls, music, video, microSD slot, messaging and full POP/IMAP email access. However the real juicy bit here is the Z8 will be HSDPA which means 3.6Mbps of fast mobile broadband speeds. Still not as fast as Japan's recent 5+ Mbps tests but fast enough for now dammit. Wait wait, that's not all. The final feature worth mentioning is the unique sliding mechanism and form factor. If you look closely at its profile, the phone curves to hug the face making it more ergonomic. Motorola hopes this new design will grace them with another RAZR-like runaway hit. Time will tell, just please do me a favor and get rid of any neon green accents from production units before the April 2007 release date.
