Home / News / Moto takes a leak with 3G RIZR

We weren’t meant to find out for another few weeks yet, but leaked photos of a sleek Moto slider have surfaced online, which suggest the vowel-hating mobile maestro is ready to give birth to a new RIZR.Eagle-eyed as ever, we couldn’t help but notice that, aside from new green illuminations, the Z8 handset also sports a rather conspicuous forward-facing camera, which can only mean one thing, it’s been pimped with 3G.Moto has already unveiled the non-3G RIZR Z6 (pictured) at CES, which sports its new Linux-based smartphone OS with full Windows Media Player 11. It’s also endowed with a 2MP camera and micro SD slot. Our money’s on the Z8 handset packing something similar, and perhaps a few extra surprises on top.We’re told that all will be revealed at the 3GSM mobile conference in Barcelona next month. Our flight’s already booked.
