Motorola E1070 Confirmed

Last week we gave you a first
glimpse of the Motorola E1070, and we're pleased
to say that we now have some more details.
As we said before, this is a 3G clamshell
phone with video calling, Bluetooth, a multimedia player,
web browser, email client and expandable memory on TransFlash/microSD
cards.
We thought then that this was most likely
a clamshell variant of the as-yet-unreleased Motorola
E1060, and we can now confirm that this definitely
seems to be the case as the E1070 also sports a 240x320
pixel display.
Slated for release in Q4 2005, Motorola
say that the E1070 will be available through Orange,
O2, TIM, Telefonica and other operators. There's no
definite news about the release of the similar E1060
though.
The E1070 pretty much ticks all the
boxes for a decent 3G phone except for the 1.3 megapixel
camera (2 megapixel is pretty much the standard for
new phones now, we feel), but it does seem to be unexciting
in terms of design and functionality. It doesn't appear
to be a bad phone - but remember it is just a
clamshell version of the E1060
which was first announced more than 8 months ago, and
yet the E1060 at least manages to look a little bit
interesting. This definitely isn't as sexy as
the RAZR
V3x or some of the other upcoming phones in
Motorola's range, but it does seem to be a practical
and versatile 3G device.
