Announcement expected soon 19th August 2007
We don't know much about the Motorola U9 - except that it exists. Possibly called the PEBL2 or perhaps another addition to the ROKR line-up of phones, the U9 breaks the RAZR-style tradition somewhat.
From the outside, we believe that the Motorola U9 shares many features from the RAZR2 line, including the large exterior display. Our impression of the U9's exterior is shown on the right

The only official photograph from Motorola is on the left which shows a PEBL-style clamshell with a upgraded RAZR-type keypad.
The Motorola U9 isn't a 3G phone - according to the documentation we've seen, the U9 is a quad-bang GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz device with GPRS and EDGE. It doesn't mean that there won't be a 3G version though - remember that the RAZR2 V8 and RAZR2 V9 are GSM/3G variants of the same phone, so perhaps there's a Motorola U10 somewhere with 3G support.

We're not certain when Motorola will announce the U9 / PEBL2 or whatever they will call it, but certainly they're in desperate need of a boost to their product range, and if the U9 is based on RAZR2 technology then this could be just the thing they need.
