Motorola announces 5MP VE66 Slider Phone

picture-69-149x300 Motorola announces 5MP VE66 Slider PhoneIf you’ve ever wondered (and who hasn’t?) what would happen if you took the Motorola ZN5, made it a slider rather than a candybar phone, and added 3G, you now have the answer: the Motorola VE66, announced today as coming soon. 

It might be more useful to think of actual real life constructive things, but that’s for a different blog.

It’s not quite that simple in design, but it’s a pretty close approximation. Like the ZN5, it’s got a QVGA screen (.2″ smaller really, at 2.2″ which is small), 5MP camera (though with LED flash, rather than Xenon, which isn’t that important really), Stereo Bluetooth, a free microSD slot, and WiFi.

Also important: While the official announcement fails to mention it, several reports are filtering out that there will be two models of the VE66: One with quad-band GSM/EDGE and no 3G (headed to China), and one with UMTS and HSDPA 3G. No word yet on availability beyond “Q4 of 2008″ or pricing info.
