It seems like Motorola is seriously getting their act together with launches of mobiles left right and center. Another new handset after the announcement of the DROID and its GSM counterpart the MILESTONE is the Crush. Rather an odd name for a phone but then again there are handsets that have names like Magic and Hero. The Crush, an EV-DO Rev.0 device, comes with a 2.8” touchscreen (240 x 400 pixels), 2 megapixel camera, virtual on-screen QWERTY keypad, Stereo Bluetooth for connectivity and even a 3.5mm handsfree port. The images of the handset do seem a little strange though as it appears controls are located at the top of the screen which, in my opinion seems a bit weird and upside-down. Won’t it be a bit of a stretch accessing information from the top when you’re holding it from the bottom?

The Crush also incorporates a few other functions like a Tap to silence feature which is quite self-explanatory, a pedometer, microSD card support for up to 16 Gigs of additional memory and a 950 mAh battery that Motorola claims will give users up to 4.5 hours of talk time. While there’s no official word on its pricing or availability, the Motorola website did say this – ‘With the Motorola Crush, enjoy a high-end design, excellent call quality and multimedia features, all at an affordable price’ and this – ‘Carry a phone with the latest technology without breaking the bank.’ Any estimates?
