Motorola tries a soft approach

Motorola is set to unveil a range of mobile handsets, some of which will have a ‘softer’ form to counterbalance the ‘strong design language’ of products like its Razr V3.

‘There will be a purity of geometry, a “pebble” language; this moves beyond the clamshell form,’ says Jim Wicks, vice-president and director of consumer experience design at Motorola.

The handsets will be unveiled at the start of the 3GSM Congress in Cannes, France on 14 February.
