FCC shows 3G handset from MotorolaFeel like being underwhelmed by yet another Motorola handset? In that case, head on over to the FCC’s website and take a gander at this newest Motorola handset to get the regulatory body’s thumbs-up. Motorola has managed to fit this unassuming candybar (monoblock) handset with a 3G radio, which is, unfortunately, more than we can say for the ailing handset manufacturer’s flagship Motorola ZN5.

We can see that a front-facing video-call camera is in the cards for this unnamed Motorola 3G handset, and there’s mention of Bluetooth in the testing docs. Strangely, GSM/EDGE was only tested on the 1900Mhz band, and there was mention of 3G capability – which could mean this latest Moto candybar is destined for a carrier like T-Mobile.

But, our money (and hopes) are on Motorola looking toward a decidedly different design philosophy as they go forward. Now, if only Motorola could figure out how to enable 3G data connectivity in their upcoming Motorola MOTOZINE ZN5, they’d have a sure-fire winner in any market.
