Motorola MOTOSURF A3100 Touchscreen 3G/Wi-Fi Smartphone [Ming Gets Superseded]

Following on from the news of Motorala’s MOTO W233 Renew eco-friendly cell phone Motorola have also confirmed the up and coming availability of their Motorola MOTOSURF A3100 Touchscreen Smartphone (or Touch Tablet as Motorola’s press release refers to it).

The Motorola MOTOSURF A3100 is powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 working in unison with a new user interface designed by Motorola and offers both stylus and omni-directional trackball based navigation as well as the aforementioned (2.8”) display and is seen as a replacement of the long since available Motorola Ming.

A quad-band GSM/EDGE and 850/1900/2100 tri-band HSDPA 7.2Mbps 3G handset, the Motorola MOTOSURF A3100 offers stereo Bluetooth as well as Wi-Fi wireless connectivity, comes with a (somewhat disappointing) 3 megapixel autofocus camera paired with a secondary VGA camera allowing for video calling and additionally comes with integrated aGPS and media player.

The Motorola MOTOSURF A3100 is presently billed as being set for release in Asia and Latin America in the first quarter of 09 and, unfortunately, at the time of writing no wider release has been indicated at this stage.
