Gadgets, gizmos, and tools to help make you more productive in business

So the MOTORIZR is upon us. With features like Bluetooth, a 2 megapixel camera, and a QQVGA display, it's nothing if not attractive technologically. It should be noted of course that as with most phones of the modern age, someone with human-sized digits may have difficulty dialing the hobbit-sized keys.

Still, the MOTORIZR is sleek enough to make even the staunchest non believer run out and buy one, ooh in hot pink no less!
