Engadget Mobile gets hands-on with Motorola Canary!
We've seen Motorola's RAZR sequel, the Canary, pop up here and there, but it took our boys at Engadget Mobile, with a little help from Boy Genius, to do it up right and get some serious shots of all that shiny blueness. Head on over for a whole slew of pics, but try not to get too jealous -- they too put their shiny-blue-pants on one leg at a time.
Motorola Canary (RAZR 2) hands-on!
That's right, suckas: we got our hands on a Canary (aka the RAZR 2), Motorola's still-unannounced follow-up to the RAZR. We only got to spend a few precious hours with the Canary, but we can confirm that this phone's glossy surface is indeed a magnet for fingerprints (and is a pain to photograph). Otherwise the design doesn't pull any punches -- it's essentially a narrower version of the now-ubiquitous RAZR. Click on for a bunch more pics. Thanks, Boy Genius, for the hook up.
Motorola exec reveals next-gen slimphone: the SCPL
Talk about a tease: Motorola's head honcho for cellphones, Ron Garriques, revealed the existence of an upcoming handset called the SCPL (that's scalpel, in case the lack of vowels made it unclear) during a recent company investment conference -- but kept all the important details to himself. All that's known about the SCPL (which we hope no one will mistake for the surgical tool pictured here), other than the obvious fact that it will be quite slim, is that it will sport five features that promise to set it apart from the pack -- which we'll take to mean WiMax, GPS, 3CCD HD camcorder, 30GB hard drive, and probably a DirecTV dish as well. At this point, we can't even say for sure that the SCPL is not the same as the supposed RAZR 2, or "Canary," that's been fluttering around recently, but whatever they're working on, we'll have to wait until next year to get our hands on one.[Thanks, Shamste]

Motorola "Canary" surfaces, set to be RAZR successor?
This expertly blurry shot of the unannounced and quite glossy Motorola "Canary" phone surfaced today, and it's looking rather sexy from what we can make out of the pic. Just vague rumblings of specs so far, such as a 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and a microSD slot, but we can confirm that the picture is a real shot of a forthcoming Moto device. Whether this "Glass Phone" will be the rumored "RAZR 2" or whatever is hard to tell, but we'll be keeping an eye out for it for sure.
