More details on Motorola Rapture VU30 for Verizon

advertisment:
Except a few pictures that we revealed back in March, the details on the Motorola VU30 have been pretty scarce until now. We received the Verizon Wireless manual of the phone, revealing it will be called Motorola Rapture VU30 and will be targeted as a pretty device: “It’s sleek, stylish, and sure to get you noticed.” It looks as a slim clamshell and with its rounded forms and buttons reminds us of the U9.

In standby mode the lower left and right corners of the external display house shortcuts to the music player and the camera, which can be activated and controlled by the display (it is touch sensitive). That’s the reason on the right side there is a lock switch. VU30 is a CDMA/EVDO phone with 2-megapixel camera, microSD slot for memory and microUSB for connecting a charger or cable for computer connection.

It looks like a PEBL, only as thin as a RAZR. I wonder if the exterior screen will have touch capabilities as a whole, or just in the corners where they're putting all of the "buttons". Still, not much innovation, but it's Moto. Looks like it can be a more than decent phone though.

Just the two buttons. This is the same phone as the MOTORAZR VE20 for Sprint, released about 2 weeks ago. They just, as you mentioned, rounded the corners to make it look like the "love-child" of a PEBL and a RAZR. Nothing that new, runs a little smoother and is slotted between a V3m and V9m.

motorola's style is unique. it's like they try to appeal to specific demographic with their fashion phones.you either love it or hate it. i love moto phones such as razr, u9, v9, and this one looks very promising too!

blah blah blah. You guys could just get a life and quit worrying about phones... I personally use a phone for calling and texting the ladies. Just about every phone ever made since 1999 is capable of that. I have a life. None of you do! Deal with it!

i do think the ultimate phone for people who want an iphone will be the blackberry thunder, especially for those people who dont want to pay the iphone 3g's expensive data plan. i went into the basement of a library to get a book, at&T no service, verizon- full ev and 1x bars. i do think verizon is one step ahead of everyother carrier's features. they were the first to do many things which other carriers now follow.

I had a chance to play with this phone, it was interesting for sure. There is a clear plastic shield that is touch sensitive which offer the actual touch screen inside the flip some protection I guess. It's a flip phone which seems more advantageous for talking on. I think it will be Moto's first touch phone offering. I'm pretty sure it will be offered for VZW, any other carriers I don't know.

Actually on closer inspection, this is not the phone I played with. I don't know what phone I was playing with, some moto touch phone. that's funny.
