For fans of modishness, small and predictable, you’ll find oodles to love about Motorola’s latest drink specials. Er, phones — we meant phones right there. Anywho, Moto’s new VE70 Cocktail Mint and Cocktail Tropical only differ in color — Mint is a mixture of chic black, fresh mint and pearl white while Tropical uses white, light green, violet and orange. Otherwise you’ll find a 2.2-inch QVGA display, a built-in camera, 3G support and of course, a wine dictionary. Your guess is as good as ours when it comes to price / release information, but a few more images are waiting for you in the read link.

Samsung’s 8-megapixel beast is at this time ready for carrier-free consumption — but it’s plan to cost you an arm and a leg. Actually, it’ll probably cost you Bot. arms, at which point you’ll need to find a more creative (but still very worthwhile) technique for steadying that insane cam and navigating its S60 3.2-based interface. Just how much are we talking in this place? Well, for reference, you can nab the INNOV8 for as little as zilch on Orange, but Expansys’ UK outlet at this time has the little badasses in stock for £534.99 (which is basically a grand in US currency, give or take). Extreme, yes — but that strike against your credit limit’s plan to buy you 7.2Mbps HSDPA, GPS, and the envy of an N96 owner or two, so it might be worth the bankruptcy proceedings after all.

Folks, be honest with us in this place — did you really expect Orange and / or Apple to say anything other than this? Amidst reports that iPhone 3G line sitters at Polish Orange stores were actually paid to be there, the carrier has shot back in order to defend its dignity. In an e-mail reply to an Ad Age inquiry on the matter, a spokeswoman proclaimed that as “part of the excitement around the launch of the iPhone, some of [Orange’s] team has been joining customers outside [of the] shops.” She also noted that “sales were strong” and that Orange “was happy,” though actual numbers were not revealed. So there you have it, at this time make of it what you will.
