Moto’s ROKRs and RIZRs on the horizon

The RAZR was the only spanking new handset to be unveiled by Moto today, but it was also busy showing off four of the phones we’d seen earlier this year – now freshly marked up with their UK release deets.We’ve already cast a favourable eye over the bendy RIZR Z8, but we now know that when it lands next month it’ll be bundled with the ROKR S9 Bluetooth headset and a freebie copy of The Bourne Identity on a 512MB microSD card to show off the slick 30fps video playback.Also imminent is the ROKR Z6 (pictured) we spied at CES. It’ll be sliding into stores with a month’s free Napster To Go, which is now compatible with phones across the ROKR range (sorry Apple).If emailing is more your thang then there’s the Q8 and Q9 messengers; both packing the shiny new Windows Mobile 6.0 OS, a 2MP camera and full QWERTY boards. The Q9 even adds 3G and HSDPA for speedier downloads. They should be making an appearance over the next few weeks.No prices on any of them yet, but cough up enough each month and they’ll doubtless be yours for no more than your signature on a 12-month contract. Now, where do we sign?
