Motorola A45 Murano unveiled in Brazil as MOTOCUBO A45

It was back in July when we first saw the Motorola A45 Murano. Now it has been officially announced in Brazil as MOTOCUBO A45. The name makes perfect sense considering the device look and feel – it is kinda ugly, to be fair. Still, it offers the full slide-out QWERTY keyboard and is hence ideal for heavy texters. Rest of the specs include EDGE connectivity, QVGA screen, Bluetooth, music player, standard 3.5mm headset jack, 2-megapixel camera, FM Radio with RDS, and a microSD expansion slot (2GB card memory card comes in the box). Pre-loaded software includes Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Maps, some games (Spore, The Sims 2), and a social networking app that allows quick access to Facebook, Orkut and MySpace.

Perhaps the most notable thing about the MOTOCUBO is the fact that the 25% of the phone is made out of recycled plastic bottles, making it an ideal choice for eco-friendly texters… At least those who are willing to pay 549 Brazil reais (about $293) in order to grab one.
