MOTOROLA U3 Phone Announced in Brazil

Compared to the Motorola RAZR phones and slightly newer KRZRs, the PEBL line was never all that successful on the market and, as a consequence, few such models were released up to this date. But Motorola has just released a new PEBL phone in Brazil, the U3e.

The clamshell handset looks set to be an entry level version of the original PEBL. This quad-band GPRS/EDGE handset looks slightly different though, featuring a flat back and a standard hinge. The camera and external display are retained at expense of Bluetooth connectivity. New features include Push-to-Talk capability with Push-to-View picture sending. A mini USB slot is thrown in for file and data transfer.

Apparently, it will come equipped with a camera with video recording capabilities, push to talk and a media player. The mini-USB port it includes will allow the user to connect the handset to a computer and transfer data.

Additional details like pricing and availability are currently unknown.
