Motorola ROKR ZN50. Your gran
Imagine, if you will, what your reaction might be if your gran came round on a Sunday afternoon for some tea and a natter, and she turned up in a convertible BMW wearing what, after you’d checked, turned out to be a trendy Diesel Jacket, some Adidas trainers and, triple-checking here, an asymmetrical fringe of the type made popular in Hoxton not too long ago.
You’d be a little shocked, right? Because, after all these years, you expect certain things. Normally not very impressive things, to be fair, even though it’s hardly her fault. And this is just the case with poor little Motorola, as while they’re still releasing some decent phones (as this Motorola phones list shows), they’ve pretty much struggled to produce anything even vaguely interesting / impressive since it’s been revealed that their finances are about as stable as Woolworths were a few months back. So when details of the Motorola ROKR ZN50 turned up, we were, well, pretty shocked. Because while it might not be a world beater, this is a pretty decent phone by way of specs, and a more than decent phone in the looks department.
With a TFT resistive touchscreen, TV tuner, great music player and an interesting looking user interface (very much in the mode of Google’s Android), we think the Motorola ZN50 might prove to be a hit when it’s released in Korea in the near future. Whether that proves to be a big enough hit for it to make the transition over to these shores is still to be proven, but needless to say we’ll be letting you know as soon as we hear anything. That’s if we can get our gran to shut up about the Vice Magazine shoot she was on last week. Check out a full Motorola ZN50 review here, or have a little look at the amusingly poor video below.

A Closer Look at the Motorola Krave ZN4
The brand new Motorola Krave ZN4 is an interesting mobile phone from Motorola which combines a flip mechanism with a touch screen user interface and in my opinion is a little odd. The phone looks stylish and it does look like a Motorola (whether that’s a bad thing or not is personal opinion) but I feel like they missed the point a bit here and seem to have made a touch screen phone just because they can rather than offering a touch screen phone with great features as well. The Motorola Krave ZN4 reviews I’ve read seem to all say the same thing; that this phone simply isn’t good enough feature wise.
I have seen a lot of Motorola Krave ZN4 deals and they are good value for money in terms of the design of this phone but when it comes to the features (which are rather lacking) I simply have to say that you could get more for your money elsewhere. I’ve also seen that the Motorola Krave ZN4 contract phone is available for free on contract so I guess if you like this phone you could go for that but I wouldn’t recommend buying it. Overall, the features of the phone are simply too dull and there isn’t anything about this phone that is unique and inspiring. The flip part of the phone can be used on the touch screen controls as well as directly on the display but other than that it’s pretty boring really.
The phone does have a TV tuner which I guess is a bonus but the resolution isn’t that great and it’s compromised by the huge Motorola logo if you close the flip on the phone. All in all, the Motorola Krave simply isn’t good enough in my book and I have to say that if you watch the Motorola Krave ZN4 video review you’ll see exactly what I mean. However, mobile phone dealsare getting good as we get nearer to Christmas so maybe it’ll be worth buying after all.

A Quick Glance at the Motorola Aura
The brand new Aurafrom Motorola is a great new phone which offers a superior and unique design when compared with any other phone on the market today. The phone is worth a lot and is currently priced at around £1200 so is a luxury device and it should be noted that this phone’s features aren’t what’s being sold. The design was helped by Swiss Watch designers and is supposed to be a luxury phone and that it is. The phone has a lot of unique features and is definitely the most beautifully made phone I’ve ever seen. The phone itself has a swivel mechanism which has ball bearings that make it smooth and easy to slide.
I saw a Motorola Aura review which suggested that this phone is definitely for the super stylish audience and will sell very well with rich and sophisticated mobile phone users. The Motorola Aura vodafone phone is a good option for a lot of people and probably has the best mobile deals available on it. I think the best part of this phone is the unique circular LCD screen which makes the swivel action look seamless and flawless. I really like this phone and I have to say that if I had £1200 lying around I’d probably buy this phone in an instant. The features aren’t all that great but the design is amazing and well worth the money.
I’ve seen a lot of Motorola Aura videos as well and I think if you’re planning on buying or looking for Motorola Aura contracts then the videos will let you see the phone in action and are well worth watching. All in all, the Motorola Aura is a great phone and I think, well worth the money. This phone will last a lifetime thanks to its high quality and superior design on the exterior.
