Motorola U9 Pink Joins the Motorola U9 Purple in the PEBL Range
After what could be described as a 'dry spell' for Motorola the manufacturer has recently released two new offerings, the Motorola U9 Pink and U9 Purple mobile phones. These two new devices follow on from the successful PEBL range of handsets that took the market by storm early last year. The overall form as not changed dramatically but the features, design and technology certainly has.
Motorola enjoyed substantial sales figures for their original PEBl (pronounced pebble) collection, you know when a manufacturer has a hit with one of their models when they continue to release the same handset in multiple colored casings. The most popular of these was the Motorola U6 PEBL Pink Edition which offered a soft, pastel like pink casing that women fell in love with.
Of the two most recent launches the Motorola U9 Pink looks set to carry on where the previous range left off, it is not a pastel pink but a metallic and sparkly pink casing that gives the new Motorola U9 its wow factor.
The new U9 models now have some external controls for using the handset when in the closed position. Users can now control their music tracks from the outside by simply pressing play, pause, rewind and skip using these new exterior controls. This is a big improvement on the previous model as users can now have their phone in their pocket whilst listening to their favorite tracks and simply switch songs with the selection of one button rather than having to open the phone.
Another advancement is the upgrading of the integrated camera from a simple VGA to a 2.0 megapixel lens for capturing quality still photographs aswell as shooting high quality video clips. The camera also offers a built-in flash unit and zoom for close up photography.
The extra technology has not affected the overall dimensions too much, the length has expanded from 86.5 to 90mm but the width has been shaved from 49 to 48.6mm. The thickness has lost over 3.5mm which makes the Motorola U9 Pink ideal for not cluttering up handbags as well as fitting snuggly into small pockets.
The Motorola U9 Pink mobile phone offers a sleek clamshell design followed by a combination of curvaceous edges and a metallic gloss finish, by touching just one button the phone transforms into an MP3 player and users can control their tunes via Windows PC with Windows PC Player. Plus, with the extensive memory supplied, users can store up to 1000 songs and enjoy fast downloads with the USB 2.0.
The Pink U9 also features Bluetooth technology allowing users to share files with other bluetooth devices such as laptops, PDA phones, TV sets and other mobile phones as well as connect wirelessly with handsfree headsets and car kits for safe driving.
The Motorola U9 Pink and Purple editions have been made available via the CPW group on both T-Mobile pay monthly contract deals as well as pay as you go on O2 making accessibility far easier for those who cannot pass a network credit check or who do not want the ongoing costs of a 12 month agreement.
Motorola looks set to once again take a good market share with a range of phones that look like no other available. The original PEBL models were advertised as stones on the beach with their soft pastel colors. That certainly cannot be said for these new U9 models so we are looking forward to seeing how the manufacturer is proposing to market these glossy gems.
The Motorola U9 Pink and Purple Motorola U9 are two of many new clamshell devices to be launched this year. If you require any further information please feel free to visit our online mobile phones shop.
