The last of the 3G phones they announced today, the A1010. This is another one that everyone pretty much already knew about last week because of some leaked photos that turned up, but we didn't know the gory details until today. It's a quad-band 3G cellphone that runs on Symbian 7.0/UIQ 2.1, is compatible with both WCDMA and GSM networks, and sports Bluetooth, a VGA quality digital camera for on the front for making video calls, a two megapixel digital camera around back for snapping still shots (which screws up our theory that Moto was leapfrogging straight to three megapixels), a 208x320 pixel LCD screen, and a TransFlash memory card slot. Like the other new 3G handsets Moto announced today, this one won't be out until Q4.
but really..who cares? I mean, the A1000 (that only sports a 1.2MP camera) will keep us warm until then. In Denmark, it's only $200 with a 6 month contract and 750 free minutes to all phones (and all free all the time calls within 3's network). It will suffice.

Can't blooming wait!!
The Main issue is that this is more than just a minor upgrade to 2MP for the camera due to the fact that the phone will also have WiFi support out of the box too... as Symbian UIQ at this moment in time doesn't support it motorola will have to come up with this solution to intergrate it into the phone themselves.
