Rizr Z8 and Krzr K3

Motorola remains hard at work pumping out new models from its big, thin-phone machine. Pictures of updated versions of the Krzr and Rizr trickled into the blogosphere yesterday, after Moto showed the phones to company investors. Both the Krzr K3 and the Rizr Z8 should feature all the goodies of the existing models but add 3G support as well. No word on availability, but stay tuned.

Nothing is better than iPhone, it's impossible.

Who cares about 3G? That will only be important when Apple releases a mobile phone with 3G. Then yes, it will be important. Until then only stupid people use it. Same thing with radio and voice recording on the iPod. It will never be important until iPod has those features.
Don't you learn?

(notice the sarcasm?)
