Anyone who’s been jonesing for a U9 with a little more style look no further than the MOTOJEWEL, a new clamshell Motorola’s bringing to the UK this fall that’s being billed as “a phone so sassy that users will wish they could wear it.” What then, pray tell, makes it so sassy? Well, that’s an open subject of debate — but we’re guessing it’s mostly the “3D crystal-cut design” that rings the mirrored Midnight Quartz shell to give it that jeweled look and the “dazzling” purple keypad that you won’t find on your garden diversity U9. Otherwise, though, the specs are sounding mighty familiar: 2-megapixel cam, external touch-sensitive music controls, stereo Bluetooth, Motorola’s CrystalTalk noise reduction — you know the drill — and unless Moto pulled a fast one on us and slipped in some 3G, it’s likely packing quadband EDGE. Look for this little gem (see what we did there?) as a Carphone Warehouse limited edition exclusive starting in November.

There’s a “Motorola Q11″ chilling in the Bluetooth SIG’s product directory, and while the SIG is famously tight-lipped about revealing gory details about its members’ unreleased wares, we see that it’s a “Phone, Handheld” running Windows Mobile 6.1 Smartphone. Then again, given the name and the Q series’ storied history, we probably could’ve gathered that — and we can probably also count on it having something to do with that Alexander we saw not long ago. Only question is, is the Alexander really two whole numbers in the integer line better than the Q9? Time’ll tell.
