Motorola have launched a new variant on their Z8 handset, the Z8m. From what we can tell, the phone is virtually identical to the Z8, apart from it's colours. The phone is initially available only in South Korea and the asian market.

There's been a lot of speculation that the Z8m either contains 4GB memory internally, has built-in GPS, or runs UIQ3.3 - well we can confirm that none of these rumours are true, the only difference between the Z8 and the Z8m is that the Z8m supports 7.2Mbit HSDPA whereas the Z8 is limited to 3.6Mbit.

 

It's unlikely the Z8m will make its way to this country, as it's meant purely as a far-east variant, but that's not to say it won't be available as a grey import over here. Don't expect it to be cheap though. (and yes, there probably is a Z10m variant on the way too)
