Although Motorola has had Linux smartphones on their list of products for some time, so far, they have been more popular in Asian circles. Now they have a model E6 that is targeted to users that need multimedia functions.
Motorola has a slight comparison in design to the black RAZR but this MOTOROKR E6 is slightly longer but very thin. Coming in at 111mm x 51.5mm (4.4″ x 2″), you can see the comparison. How thin is it? The thickness is only 14.5mm (.6″) so you can see it’s easily stored away.
This phone includes an SD slot and 3 keys that are dedicated to music playback and options. A nice cyan blue backlight (similar, once again, to the RAZR) yet it’s not popular for finding keys by touch.
This phone does include a touch screen on the front and that will be a feature many look for in future phones. A stylus and USB port for data and power is included on the bottom and the standard 3.5mm stereo headphone jack is located at the top.

With all this packed into cellphones these days it makes for an interesting shopping experience. I have tried to find that “perfect phone” for a few weeks and I realize now that I need to just pick one and check it out.
