First, there was Z8, and now, the successor has been officially announced. Lo and behold! Ladies and gentlemen, here is the new Z10.

Expected to be available in Q1 2008. When? Tomorrow?…
In my humble opinion, Z10 is not that different from Z8 (designwise) and what Motorola did was change the colour to black and upgraded some of it’s components, packed in UIQ 3.2 and voila! Z10 is born!
This is Motorola’s 7th smartphone powered by Symbian (A920, A925, A1000, M1000, M1010, Z8) but I dont understand why it still doesnt make any impact in the market yet?
Another thing that Moto should consider is the availability. Z8 is nowhere to be found in my place in Malaysia and when I went to Singapore last 2 weeks, I cant find it either!
So Motorola… Maybe you should revise your Supply & Chain Management strategies? …
Cheers!

Great post again Asri! I suppose they announced the Z10 at CES in Las Vegas? The Z10 has been long waited for and will make a difference in Motorola’s smartphone sales I think. The Z8 was the beginning of a new era and this is the next step.
Moto has plans to release several new devices (check http://www.simplysymbian.com/2007/12/03/rumors-on-the-motorola-z10-and-the-motorola-skarven/).
The Moto phones are available everywhere in Sweden, but perhaps Moto does not target the Asian market as of yet?
