LEAKYMOTO: say hi to the MOTORIZR Z8

Sorry we don't yet have any hard info on this thing, but you know what a front-facing camera means, right? Say hi to the 3G MOTORIZR (or RIZR, if you will), the Z8.

Chatting with cameras on????

[Carbonize @ Jan 23rd 2007 3:36PM]

Damn and I was sat here waiting for the Z6. This one looks a lot better and I'd guess it will be using Linux the same as the Z6 does.

[Aaron @ Jan 23rd 2007 3:52PM]

Im also waiting on the Z6, but the price is right on the Z8, Im on board.

[Jeff.a.Hogue @ Jan 23rd 2007 3:54PM]

Hmm. Video chat would be nice. But what about just taking pictures? It'd be a nightmare unless there's a screen on the back.

[Manny @ Jan 23rd 2007 4:09PM]

It looks like it has a camera in the front (for video phone) AND the back (for regular picture taking. See http://www.sotaland.ru/img/article/MOTORIZR-3.jpg

MISTER MOTO RISIN...GOT TO KEEP ON RISIN!

I am pretty sure that means no more wrist cramps when straining for up-skirt pictures to send to my brehs. Excellent....I'm going to go chug a keg.

I'm holding a pre-release Z6 right now, and this Z8 looks a little bogus. The Z6 is much longer than this looks, the numeric keypad is all wrong, and the frame at the top looks a little "retro". Don't feed the PhotoShop!

ok wtf why does the key pad look like it got attacked by a highlighter

[Nick @ Jan 23rd 2007 4:55PM]

It looks kinda dumpy and 80's but in a way that I find pleasing. I want one.

Best new Moto Phone I've seen in a while.

[no3rdw @ Jan 24th 2007 11:54AM]

It's a Tron phone! It actually looks like a pretty cool slider instead of yet-another-flip-phone.

Also, the forward-facing camera means it's not intended for US release (yet). Come on, Engadget readers, you should know this!

why is that, there are certainly 3G networks capable of handling videochat, aka cingulars hdspa
