Meet Motorola Franklin - the ultra-stylish Pocket PC phone inspired by ultra-successful RAZR mobile phone
June 26, 2005 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R.

After caneling Motorola MPX it looked like Motorola almost gave up on Windows Mobile phones. Fortunately it is not so! Initially we have heard man rumors that so called "RAZR-berry" is coming from Motorola, i.e. a phone having stylish design like Motorola RAZR V3 phone, and having Qwerty keyboard like RIM BlackBerry! Now we are beyond rumor phase because on the presentation of Dangaard that can be found on Microsoft's website there is information about new Motorola Pocket PC phone of code name "Franklin" and of 2 basic designs:

Conclusions: this Pocket PC phone is a looker and could be very popular thanks to stylish and classy design, however lack of built-in Wi-Fi may put off particularly those customers who are more geeky... All in all not much is known yet - which design will be final and when this phone will be released commercially.

Please note that once again we are providing link to the source of the story (here: Power Point presentation) while several other websites (for example certain website with "gadget" in name and several others...) are not providing this information to you! Clearly msmobiles.com is worth visting because nobody else gives you the whole story.
