Motorola may not be the largest of the mobile phone manufacturers but they certainly now how to buck a design trend, it was last year when they released their now infamous MOTO PEBL collection that other manufacturers had to stand up and listen.
The PEBL range was promoted and advertised on national TV and paper media as a stone on the beach, a smooth, pebble shaped device that when touched would smoothly open to reveal its keypad and display screen, nothing had been seen quite like the Motorola PEBL phone before, ot for that matter after. That was until recently, when Motorola decided to continue on with the success of the PEBL design and launch the new Motorola U9, a direct upgrade to the popular PEBL phones which were originally named U6.
The original U-Series was released in a range of colour schemes including a pastel pink version that quickly became the best seller, and is actually still available to buy today in the UK. Whether Motorola will do the same for the new U9 range remains to be seen but the first to be released is a Purple edition and the exterior colour has been slightly changed.
Instead of opting for the pastel colours of before, the manufacturer has now gone down the metallic route giving the casing of the phone a glossy glint of expense and sophistication, these are not expensive phones but the new U9 models do look far more expensive than the originals.
One major difference between the new and the old is the ability to be able to control certain functions whilst the handset is in the closed position, this includes the playing of music tracks on the integrated MP3 player, with the help of an external colour screen the user can see which song is playing and who the artists is.
Another advancement is the upgrading of the internal camera, the original PEBL offered a simple VGA camera lens for capturing short video clips and still pictures, the new Motorola U9 has a 2.0 megapixel camera for high quality shots with zoom, flash and and video capture.
Users are now able to synchronise files and contacts with their PC using a USB connection and create their own individual playlists for the music player further enhancing the listening experience.
Smarter and more sophisticated than the PEBL but with all the strong features and functions included, the Purple Motorola U9 identifies itself as a new generation of ROKR's that will superceed all others.
The Motorola U9 also features EDGE data services for fast download times and much quicker connections, bluetooth wireless technology for transferring files to compatible devices aswell as connecting to handsfree headsets, expandable memory so that users can save their music tracks, pictures, video clips and applications, a web browser for surfing the net, email access and built-in handsfree as standard.
Dressed to impress, the Motorokr U9 Purple is snazzy, sexy and seriously fashionable and with more colour variants on the way this new U-Series range looks set to be as successful as the original U6 models, if not more so.
