After seeing a release in Australia and China last year, the low-range music-oriented Motorola EM330 is ready to invade the Stateside, piggybacking on AT&T.  And when you use words like affordable, you can’t expect much in terms of features and this clamshell is perfectly satisfied in showing off its triband EDGE network support, dedicated music keys, FM radio, 1.3 megapixel camera, 20MB internal memory with microSD expansion up to 2GB, touch-sensitive external display, stereo Bluetooth, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack to jive with your favorite set of headphones.

Available in the second quarter of 2009 from AT&T with an as yet unknown price tag, but with features like these, we wouldn’t be surprised if it was below $100 with a suitable rate plan.

Motorola has released a new clamshell phone in Australia. The EM330 is available for just $99 and you’ll find it your local Virgin store.

The EM330 might be the perfect phone for your musical needs. It has touch-sensitive keys which appear only when needed to help you control that music player without actually opening the phone. The phone comes with a built-in audio equalizer and with preset settings for 11 types of music. There’s mono FM recording which will let you record parts of your favorite songs and turn them into ringtones. With FMShare you can share you favorite radio stations with your friends.

Besides the music capabilities the phone comes with a 1.3 megapixel camera, a 3.5mm universal jack, stereo Bluetooth and Motorola’s CrystalTalk technology.
