Motorola E1120 Preview

Cancelled
14th February 2005

The Motorola E1120 is a 3G phone with a 3 megapixel digital camera, slated for launch in the fourth quarter of 2005. Except, with Motorola's recent history of not being able to get products to market, we do wonder when.. or indeed if.. it will actually see the light of day.

From the product images supplied, it's clear that Motorola haven't even got a prototype available. Clearly computer-generated and lacking detail, it seems at the moment that the E1120 is still on the drawing board, so Motorola's competitors can probably breathe more easily.

Details are sketchy, but Motorola say that the E1120 comes with Windows Media Player, so presumably this is a Windows smartphone. Other information is a little scarce - the E1120 takes TransFlash memory up to a maximum of 512Mb, it has MP3 playback through dual speakers with "3D stereo audio", a 3D graphics accelerator for gaming, video capture and all the usual stuff.

The camera has 8X digital zoom and autofocus, plus a 30 Lux lamp for illuminating stills photos or videos.

Size and weight are not specified, nor is screen size, battery life or a whole host of other features. As we said, clearly the E1120 is some way off and we suspect that Motorola's announcement during the 3GSM show is purely a spoiler designed to attract attention. Given Motorola's history of slippage with release dates, it could be well into 2006 before we actually see this handset - assuming we ever do.
