While Motorola is still struggling to get their much-anticipated 3G-based RAZR model out, the phone maker has come up with another next-generation model that's due out by the end of the year.

Dubbed as the E1070, it takes on various similarities as its thinner counterpart in both the design department and included features. The flat keypad design resembles the look and layout of the V3x, and a dual display setup (a 262K-colour QVGA screen will be used for the internal TFT LCD) has been incorporated.
