Motorola's latest touchscreen handsets, A810 and Ming A1600, are now featured on Moto's Chinese official website, which means they will both be soon available across China.

The new handsets were first seen together back in April, when Motorola's Chinese line-up of handsets was unveiled. At the time, A810 and A1600 appeared together with A1800 (of which we've already talked about), the 5 Megapixel ZN5 and several other Moto phones. Now A810 and A1600 are officially confirmed, and Motorola hopes the Chinese market will receive them well.

The A810 is a candybar with a simplistic design, which might prove to be one of its strongest points. The features packed by Motorola in A810 include: a 2.4 inch TFT touchscreen display with 240 x 320 pixels and handwriting recognition, a Linux-based OS, tri-band GSM connectivity (900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) with GPRS and EDGE, Music and Video players, FM radio, a 3.5mm audio jack, Bluetooth, Web and email capabilities, USB, microSD card support and a 2 Megapixel camera with video recording. The handset measures 105 x 51 x 14 millimeters and weighs exactly 100 grams.

Part of the Ming series, especially created for China, Motorola A1600 can be considered the little brother of A1800. The A1600 comes with the same weird clamshell form factor as the A1800 and brings similar features, the main difference being that A1800 has dual-SIM support while the A1600 was not blessed with this capability. At 128 grams and 98.9 x 53.5 x 19.6 millimeters (when closed, A1600 brings the following: a 2.4 inch TFT touchscreen display with 256K colors, 240 x 320 pixels and handwriting recognition, quad-band GSM connectivity (800 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) with GPRS and EDGE, the same Linux-based OS, built-in GPS, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, a 3.15 Megapixel camera with auto focus and video recording, Music player, FM radio and expandable memory up to 4GB.

The prices of A810 and A1600 were not announced by Motorola, and for the moment we can't say whether the handsets will be available only in Asia or if Moto also plans to releases them in other regions of the world.
