Okay, I think that Motorola needs to give the Razor a break. Come now – I have had a razor for years and years now and while I think that the phone itself is actually really cool … it is cheap! It does not have a touchscreen, barely can get online and it certainly does not have any of the newest applications that a lot of the newest phones have but still … Motorola always resorts back to the razor.
Now they have switched the name to the MOTO Titan and they are going to be releasing it in Korea – great. Might as well give you the specs for this new Motorola right? Measuring only 50mm thick, the handset sports a 2.2-inch 262k TFT internal screen, a 1.6-inch 65K external screen with touch-sensitive controls, a 2MP camera, a microSD card slot (up to 4GB), an MP3 player, SKT T-map GPS navigation, Video on Demand service support, a USB 2.0 interface, Bluetooth and supports both WCDMA2100 and GSM/HSDPA (900/1800/1900 MHz) connectivity’s.
All of that in one phone that everyone in the world probably has owned at one point in their life right? Great…
You have iPhones, you have Blackberries, you have smartphones going on the market all over the board — is it any wonder that Motorola wants to get its slice of the smartphone pie? The QA1 Karma is Motorola’s particular slice. It will be released through forerunner AT&T and promises, as its name suggests, to bring users good karma by way of some great features devoted to social networking.
For instance, users will quickly be able to access both their MySpace pages and their Facebook pages. Given the height of popularity surrounding these two social networking sites, that is sure to be a huge draw. How easy is the access? Well, for starters, there is a handy icon located right on the home screen of the phone, in a layout quite reminiscent of the iPhone. As well, the Karma has a complete QWERTY keyboard, which slides right out, and the display is rife with high resolution — plus do not forget the 3G connectivity. If that does not sell you, then perhaps the fact that you will be able to use Windows Live, Yahoo, or other messengers quite easily will.
This is anything but a smartphone in my book — it’s cheap (about $150), it’s girly (a true ladyphone) and even though I’m not a big Motorola fan but I actually think there’s a market for a jewelry-embedded ladyphone for under $200…
