- Glass front face - won't it be easily brakeable?

otherwise, looks good but too long. maybe it's the perspective..
but with a 1.3mp camera.. ??

deuxani

Yeah, I would think so too. But if you take a look at the iPod video, a glass front face is pretty good looking, but you should never let it slip out of your hands.

It's supposed to be as big as "a double pack of chewing gum". I think it's not that long, but it gives that impression because it's not wide anymore. To me it looks like the size of the W800i or maybe a tat longer.

I heard rumours about a new type of flip feature phone to be announced towards end of summer/early autumn but knew no other details other than it would have some kind of aesthetic wow factor.
Maybe this is it?
Picture is not very clear but even so I can imagine that this will be very popular fashion phone.
Motorola really is at the cutting edge of form-factor design.
There's one or 2 others that I have heard/know about but not seen pix of with stunning designs.

There has been a lot of rumors about a Motorola SCPL, a successor to the SLVR series. Again a phone that's suppossed to be even thinner and smaller. Motorola even made a little hint/joke about it: http://images.gsmarena.com/l/reviews...marena_017.jpg

satsuma

There have been lots of images of dimensions of SCPL on the net.
Haven't seen a pic rendered or real of it yet.
This "canary" looks pretty exciting, hope more pix appear soon.

AF

looks exciting, maybe this would be a windows mobile 5 phone that would be released?

munaim

deuxani,
That joke... I don't get it.

alexandr3

me neither.. i didn't know international brands did jokes between them..

Yet another Razr...the glass surface looks nice imho, but I think it will look spoiled in a few seconds.

bodeh6

How long can Motorola milk the RAZR for? All this is the V3i with glass casing. I doubt Windows Mobile 5 will show up on it.

chlettn

The first comment on engadgetmobile.com regarding this phone is just too hilarious imho:

satsuma

Poster later down claims that Bengal boy told him it was a WM5 Smartphone

perhaps SCPL is true RAZR successor and this is a line of smartphones?

coolozzy

not bad i hope it slim as razr

londonlad

I been waiting for razr wm5! Hope they release it.

FaWzY

well this pic doesn't tell us anything, it's taken from a weird angle and its totally out of focus, better wait for better

laoh

SCPL is pronounced more or less like "scalpel", which is "a very sharp knife that is used for cutting through skin and flesh during an operation" (definition courtesy of Cambridge dictionary).

alexandr3

laoh, thanks

Eomer

WM5 I hope not.

I was hoping LJ platform....I'm gonna try and found out some more info.....

Franz

Hahaha, what now, Motorola V3z?

londonlad

looks like a low-end razr with standard moto fw from that pic.

FaWzY

looks like a half baked proto to me

daeko

Only thing that is killing me, besides my girlfriend is that moto fw, its just insane.. If i just had moto phone with some other brand fw i would stop coming here.. Why? Cuz i would be with him 24/7

laoh

You're welcome alexandr3

Anyway, nice pics o' Mighty one

The next "RAZR" has some big boots to fill, and Moto seem to have taken the more conservative route as far as design is concerned?

Reminds me a bit of all the success stories in business; first they hit the goldmine with an unprecedented original killer idea, but then they want to play it safe and come up with a lame sequel.

bloob

First we had the RAZR, then PEBL, then SCPL.... what's next? CLVR (cleaver) for a Moto Communicator?

FaWzY

bloob, maybe a PAPR (as in paper)

Ghibli

Considering Motorola's track record, I wouldn't be surprised if they decided not to put it into production.

Another spy photo

saxen

N999

does it have an mp3 player?

ud

wot is this?????? A MOTO TWTY

londonlad

Then all we need is Scissor and we can play

ROKR, PAPR and SCZR !

chlettn

londonlad,

N999, a music player, but probably a very limited song selection

ron.jeremy

Great one are_s


I guess this is the original Canary?

G9

I think Motorola need to think of a new original concept.

snoopy

canary huh...looks..uhmm interesting

btw, any updates on the RAZR Z?? (razr slider) will it only be released in korea or do we GSM users get it too??

AvWijk

Good it don't runs WM5.

are_s

its the cnry

The Lostprophet

WTF is that? im not the BIGGEST fan of how the v3 looks...but it looks a million times better from what i can get from them 2 pictures...as someone said above me, it looks like a lowend RAZR, not that the RAZR is high end anymore. come on motorola make us something that is not a bloody RAZR!!!

Delphi

The Canary is a very good handset and will surprise a lot of poeple. Its aimed at a different part of the market to RAZR. More like PEBL buyers than RAZR buyers. Rumour has it there are other new RAZRs coming including HSDPA.

coolozzy

IMO, i dont really like it the v3 was wide and this one is long

Franz

Of course that are other RAZRs coming, we're talking about motorola after all...

Julidzg

One difference i see its that this new RAZR is less wide that the past razor, thats why its longer and i think a lot of people would like that more cause it didnt look good to many people cause it was too wide.

Delphi

Franz, Indeed, in many ways Motorola seems to be copying Nokia's strategy of developing follow on handsets with only minor design differences. Look at the 6x10, 6230/6230i, N70/N72 etc. Given how many 6230 and V3 have been sold this is probably not a bad thing.

My point was that the next RAZR seems to be a lot more feature packed than the V3 or V3i as its UMTS and has HSDPA.

N999

Delphi, what phone is SE Cindy?

zeem35

@N999
as far as i know its the new SE Slider with k800 and w900 specs..
it will have a mix of specs from k800 and w900

according to my observation
Its gonna have w900 cam and memory
k800 screen and its standard features

lets wait and see whats gonna come up

soo delphi has a cyndi with him ha

dude why dont u shed some light to us

btw OFF TOPIC

Wow! That's HIDEOUS! Doesn't seem like a successor though

Doesn't the V3i have all them features but the Glass Face and the WM5 OS
