Motorola have been quite busy during CES this week, announcing several new phones. Of these, only the Motorola Z10 and ROKR E8 are worthy of note (the rest are just low-end phones), and quite surprising they are too…Motorola may actually have built a half decent phone!

More details and pics of the Motorola Z10 after the jump.

Motorola have done what no other phone manufacturer has dared, and released a brand new mobile phone at the same time as the iPhone.

The phone in question is Motorola’s “media monster”, the Motorola Z8.

The Z8 was announced a few months ago, and Motorola have been trying to hype it up ever since.

It does offer new features that haven’t been seen on a Motorola before: 16 million colour screen, HSDPA and a huge storage capacity of up to 32GB.

But compete with the iPhone? It doesn’t stand a chance!

Worse, by releasing the phone at the same time as the iPhone, Motorola have guaranteed it will get virutally no press coverage at all (well, except for this post of course!).

There couldn’t be a worse day this year to announce a new mobile phone – way to go, Motorola!

This is the new Motorola Z8, the media monster that Motorola CEO Ed Zander mentioned last week during his keynote speech at Software 2007.

And for once, it seems that Motorola has delivered. Rather than simply taking their existing phones and “reinventing” them by basically painting them a different colour, Motorola have finally woken up and pimped the Z8 to extreme levels.

So extreme, in fact, it may actually compete with other manufacturers’ handsets!

How extreme? Well how does mobile TV, HSDPA, 16 million colour screen and 4GB of on-board storage sound? And that’s just for starters!
