Will the Motorola Z10 start Motorola’s turn around?

It is a new year for Motorola, a new CEO, and a new mobile, the Motorola Z10. Taking cues from LG and Nokia, the Motorola Z10 turns focus towards web use and its’ camera.

The MotoZ10 brings you a 3.2 megapixel camera with 30 fps video. Tie the camera, video and video editor functions together and you have yourself a social mobile that is ready to take advantage of Youtube, Flickr and other services.

The new Motorola slider handset takes cues from the iconic RAZR design and newer handsets like the KRZR. With microSD capacity up to 32GB, this Motorola mobile phone should meet your media needs for a while.

What you may like about the Motorola Z10 is that while it is a new mobile device, it does not completely abandon the elements that made Motorola phones must haves devices.

With the Z10, Motorola successfully expands on a functional core design, incorporates new ideas and improves on the essentials. I hope that Motorola applies this process across the company. You should too.

Motorola Z10 pricing is unknown, but expect the device during Q1 of 2008.
