Motorola aims its new MotoJewel clamshell at women

Well, not sure what to make of the new Motorola MotoJewel, it’s been advertised towards the female market, we have seen several phone companies in the past painting the phone a rather disgusting pink, and then presuming from that every female will be queuing up to purchase the ‘female’ handsets, well not quite sure what decade those guys are living in, but at least Motorola have put a little more thought into the MotoJewel.

Ok, to start it’s a clamshell design, and has a kind of mirror finish with a tinge of purple and a 3D crystal cut styling to it. Open it up and the interior of the phone is purple, which also is home to the rather clever OLED display with touch sensitive controls that are invisible until you touch it.

What the MotoJewel does have is Windows Media Player 11, Bluetooth connectivity and drag and drop music playback, camera, SMS, MMS and push email support. But, unfortunately you don’t have 3G, GPS but you do have the standard The phone comes with an innovative leather case apparently designed like a mini clutch bag, with a mirror, credit card and lipstick holder. The phone is going to cost under £100 in October and I believe the MotoJewel will be a hit for the younger females for the fun factor.

Motorola Jay-Z-branded MOTOROKR S7-HD Bluetooth headset

Celebrities know that their names are also a brand for making money and Jay-Z is no different. Today we see another product that’s branded with Jay-Z; this is the Motorola MOTOROKR S7-HD Bluetooth headset.

This information was found by some documents that showed up on the FCC, you can view that information here.

Although these headphones have been branded with the name Jay-Z, its not confirmed that they are for the rapper (if not we can see a court case coming). The headphones are most likely branded with the cooperation of JayZ, as this is not the first (remember the Dr. Dre headphones).

The FCC filing shows that these JayZ headphones can be used with your Bluetooth cell phone and Bluetooth audio device at the same time.

What do you think of these JayZ headphones compared to Dr. Dre’s?

Motorola Rokr E8 Review: feature will satisfy multimedia fans

The Motorola Rokr E8 has been a long time coming to a U.S carrier five months in fact, but on July 7 the handset which won two awards at CES will go on sale for T-Mobile. Before you manage to get your hands on one of these handsets it will be a great idea if you kept reading, as those guys over at Cnet have managed to get their own review model, and have decided to give the cell phone a full shake down and then give us their opinion.

The new Motorola Rokr E8 is an exciting new phone which many Motorola fans have been waiting for, there has been a lot of hype surrounding the phone, so will it be able to live up to all that hype. As you would expect with all phones there are always good and bad points, and you would all like to know what those are.

One of the greatest features has to be the music player; if you are a multimedia fan then this handset could be just what you are looking for in a phone. The display is brilliant, something you do not hear too often from a Motorola, and as for the design it is very sleek. The quality of the calls is simply brilliant, so crisp which is something that many new phones seem to have problems with.

However the coolest part of the Motorola Rokr E8 has to be its morphing keypad, this is what caught the attention of people at CES, and Cnet have said that it lives up to their expectations. They have noted how they like that the backlighting changes as you move between features, and how the keypad takes on the ergonomics of both a cell phone and a music player.

There are also some bad points with this phone though, the first is the Rokr’s navigation controls and how hard they are to learn. The second is that the phone lacks 3G; this will be something that Motorola could come to regret. The phone also lacks wireless music downloads and corporate e-mail support, but if you can get past this, then the Motorola Rokr E8 might just be the handset for you.
