Motorola's new phone line-up "leaked"

It appears Motorola has four new models laid out for the gadget scene in 2008, as details and photos apparently seeped through a presentation conducted by the company in Amsterdam last month. While Motorola unveiled its Christmas line-up of mobile phones, four models were also shown as the company presented its vision of their future line-up.

The four new phones include the Motorola Skarven, the X Pixl, the Texel, and the Genghis - the first two of which are planned as phones aimed for the photo savvy users. The Texel and the Genghis will address users on the music and the business slice of the market, respectively. Note that some of these names are codenames for the devices and may not reflect the final product's name.

The Skarven and the X Pixl are two products that fit into Motorola's Zoom assortment of phones. Their most marketed function is the photo-capture capability, and the Skarven will spearhead the line as the top model. The kick-sliding Skarven will sport an 8-megapixel camera and a 2.8-inch LCD screen rendering images at 16 million colors.

The X Pixl in contrast will enter the 5-megapixel line (the middle market so to speak), already populated by the Nokia N95, the Samsung G600, and the Sony Ericsson K850i. It's speculated that the phone will have little new to offer and may carry the official product name of Motorola Z12.

The Motorola Texel will be a new addition to the music-player ROKR category, though it will carry the Motorola ROKR E8's Morph technology. That would basically mean that each key would execute and display nine underlying functions. It will also bear the universally-accepted 3.5-millimeter headphone jack.

The Motorola Genghis will serve the quasi-business oriented consumer as part of the Multi-Q line. The phone sports a full QWERTY keypad and speculators believe that Motorola has plans to keep the model customizable with different faceplates. It will enter its own line at the entry level with a reasonable price tag.
