Press pictures of three new Motorola sliders have floated up, just a little too late for Mobile World Congress. From left to right, we have the QA4 Halo with a 2.8″, 240 x 400 TFT touchscreen, and running on EV-DO (i.e. Sprint or Verizon release in the possible future). Next up is a luxury upgrade of their existing VE66, touting the same 5 megapixel camera, only clad leather and a shiny gold finish. Lastly, we have a compact Propel-style phone with full QWERTY keypad aimed at AT&T: the QA1.
Why couldn’t we see these at Mobile World Congress last week? Moto wasn’t looking so good without anything announce, especially when every other manufacturer was blasting out the press releases. Even though there’s no word on a release date, this give us something to look forward to for CTIA Wireless.
