UPDATED: We've just received word from one of our readers, who's obviously been keeping a keen eye on things, that Motorola have FINALLY released a public firmware update for the Z8. 

The annual 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona is traditionally the time when all mobile phone manufacturers release their handsets for the coming year, or at least for the coming six months. At this years’ show, Nokia have released four Symbian based handsets, SonyEriccsson have released two new Symbian phones, Samsung have announced three Symbian handsets, LG have confirmed one more Symbian phone and Motorola have... shown off the Z10 again.

In what's becoming a spy-shot festival, we've now found a picture of the upcoming Motorola Texel handset, which *might* be announced at next week's 3GSM conference. Originally leaked in November along with Skarven and xPixl, no one really paid much iattention to Texel, but it now seems that this handset is another UIQ handset, with mostly the same feature set as Skarven, but in a thinner form factor. Read on for the picture.

A naughty, naughty person on Mobile Review has been posting pictures of Motorola handsets - we'll give you three guesses as to the model names of this little batch... (and there's no prizes for recognising the Z8 and Z10). Read on for the picture...

Opera software have announced the availability of version 9.5 of their mobile browser, finally bringing technologies such as Web 2.0, Flash & Widgets to the only native UIQ web browser currently available.
