Cool Hunting
Sorry for the Motoverkill, but this one is near and dear to me-- as a member of the original design team for the software in this puppy, I'm happy to see it has finally matured a bit. There have been several iterations: first was the A760, then the A768, then the E680. Each one a little better than the next, but not quite fulfilling the promise of simplicity, flexibility and usability. The A780 looks like it might actually deliver both software and hardware improvements. Full PDA applications on an internal touch screen and full phone functionality when the clam shell is closed means the form leads function. Packed with 'productivity' software, this is definitely a business user's phone.

Designed to be universally easy to use, Motophone, Motorola's sleek new "no-manual," no-frills phone, is almost here. Their experience website, just launched today detailing their design process and extensive research—including visits to multiple continents to conduct ethnographies of how people actually use their phones. The upshot is a super-thin (9 mm) candy bar phone with several features that truly make it a phone for...
Announced last week, the Motorola FONE promises to bring wireless telephony to the rest of the world. Beyond its emerging market focus the 9mm thick, seemingly simple device, will no doubt have a place in the hands of veteran wireless users as well. It's small and sexy, but made with cheap parts so it will be easy for anyone to get one. No one has...
Well it's finally official. After many months of rumors, the Motorola ROKR (pronounced rocker) was just announced as the first phone with built in iTunes software. It only holds 100 songs and is therefor a phone that can sync with iTunes (as opposed to an iPod with phone features). Music playback is apparently well integrated with the phone features: The Motorola ROKR features a...
Mobile Review might have leaked this a bit early, but it looks legit. The V3 (aka Razor) is basically a V600, but is made of titanium and measures a mere 14mm thick. Motorola is slowly getting back on the innovation bus-- it's about time! via Gizmodo 27 July Update: It is real. It's called the RAZR V3 and it's aluminum, not titanium. Details here....
Some new pictures of the Motorola MPx surfaced today. I really like the idea of this device -form defining function. Open it vertically, it's a phone, open it horizontally and it's a PDA. I just wish it didn't use the Pocket PC OS which is so un-user-friendly. I'm also very curious to see the buttons up close. How usable and intuitive are they??...
The new Philips 759 and 755 mobile phones have touch screens and software that allow you to draw on or edit the pictures you snap with the embedded VGA (640x480 pixels) camera. They are both tri-band GSM phones and are reported to be launching in the 3rd quarter of this year. press release...
