The Motorola A910
Not sure which carrier is going to get this, but Motorola also announced the A910, a new Linux-powered tri-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE handset with support for UMA, or Unlicensed Mobile Access, a new-ish wireless technology that'll let you seamlessly pass a call from a cellular network to a WiFi network without interrupting the call (if you swing that way, UMA will also work with Bluetooth, too). Anyway, besides obviously having built-in Bluetooth and WiFi, the A910 also has a 320 x 240 pixel LCD screen, a 1.3 megapixel digital camera, a TransFlash memory card slot, a media player that can handle "multiple audio codecs", and support for A2DP (which is a Bluetooth profile for streaming stereo audio).

this handset was actually shown to the media like 6 months ago at some trade show in europe, they thought it was a newer version of the mpx220 (notice how it looks like it? ) anyway, lots of companies are gearing more towards linux now, as nokia announced earlier, and now motorola is putting linux into a lot of their handsets.

UFG: the E895 and A910 look almost identical and the only difference i could see off hand in the specs sheets is that the E895 lacks the wifi (or the wifi just isn't mentioned) and is supposed to be for the "personal consumer" and the A910 is for the "business consumer"
I cannot wait for this phone to come out, I really don't care at this point which one i get, the A910 or the E895, i just want one .... period, the end.

Wonderful! Something feature packed and useful in a compact clamshell design. Everything I want in a PDA phone and nothing I don't want. No MS. No oversized keyboard! (I hate what has been done to Palm lately - looks like a laptop, not a phone, and now they are going MS) This is exactly what I've been waiting for.
