Motorola ‘Franklin’

Monday, June 27th, 2005

Motorola FranklinEngadget have got the scoop on a sexy new Motorola smartphone. Apparently the tiny slip of a thing will run Windows Mobile 5.0 on a small but high-res 320×240 screen:

…the device is codenamed the Franklin, and will have quad-band GPRS/EDGE, 128MB flash and 64MB RAM memory, Bluetooth, a 1.3-megapixel camera, MiniSD slot, 2.4-inch 320 x 240 65k color screen, and will apparently run Windows Mobile 5.0. Oh, and did we mention it?s freaking 112 x 64 x 11.5mm (4.4 x 2.5 x 0.45-inches) and won?t weigh more than 115g (4oz)?

Looks like it takes a fair amount of styling from the Razr (especially around the 5-way button area), and while the pic is an obvious render job, I’m hoping it’s for real.
