Motorola's press conference is done and we were pretty stoked to finally see the MOTO Z10 announced. The handset features some pretty swank video editing tools like the ability to overlay text on the 30fps QVGA video you've shot, adding a soundtrack from your device and finally uploading your content directly to YouTube. Connectivity to get all this crafty business done is via HSDPA -- who wants to wait for EDGE to do its business? -- memory is expandable up to 32 GB once that becomes available and the Z10 also packs stereo speakers to listen to your tunes. The still camera is of the 3.2 megapixel variety and is apparently one of the quickest on the market and able to shoot at 3fps. No word on pricing but the plans are to see it shipping some time this quarter.
It lacks WiFi though and I wonder if it has North America 3G bands.
if this has north american 3g, well done moto... you finally made a good phone.
....the same fuckin design over and over and over.
"apparently one of the quickest on the market and able to shoot at 3fps."
Gee Golly! 3fps!!!
No, seriously... 30? 300? 3,000,000,000?!?!?
3fps burst mode. 30fps recording. :)
Is no one else bothered by the fact that this phone's selling point is YouTube-aimed video features...?
No, why should we be? Some people wants the ability to take video, edit it, and upload it when they are away from the computer, one being video bloggers. If you don't like it, don't buy it, there are plenty of other phones out there.
This phone is yet another stupid look-I-can-do-something-totally-useless offering.
I wonder how good a phone it is, or what happens if it gets dropped?
But then again, uploading crappy videos that no one wants to watch (except yourself) to youtube is all that really matters, isn't it?
