Motorola Crush is the latest touchscreen-enabled mobile phone unveiled by Motorola. The new handset is expected to become available for purchase via US Cellular and it is said to arrive on the market before the end of this year. The new device should come to US Cellular's users as a rather affordable touchscreen phone, though still being capable to deliver a stylish design, and a large display.

“Simplicity, reliable calling and cutting-edge touch technology, too. With the Motorola Crush, enjoy a high-end design, excellent call quality and multimedia features, all at an affordable price. Boasting a sleek touch screen and large display with one-touch access to your favorite features, the Motorola Crush has everything you need to stay in contact with the people you want to,” the handset vendor states.

The specifications list of the new handset includes CDMA 800/1900 EVDO Rel-O connectivity options, as well as a 2.8-inch touchscreen display that boasts a 240 x 400 pixel WQVGA resolution, a 2-megapixel photo snapper, SMS and MMS support, audio player with support for MP3 / WMA / MID /MIDI X_MIDI / AAC/ AAC+ / QCELP, a 3.5 mm headset jack, and Stereo Bluetooth capabilities.

In addition, the new mobile phone also comes with a 950mAh battery that can deliver up to 4.3 hours of talk time or up to 20.8 days of standby time. The new Motorola Crush measures 2.0 x 4.17 x .57 inches and weighs 3.6 oz, while sporting a memory card slot with support for up to 16GB of additional storage space.

“Up-to-date touch keys give you one-touch access to the phone functions you use most and bring you to the right screen, every time. A high-accuracy touch dialer means you’ll never fumble to make on-the-go calls, and a precise digital QWERTY keyboard lets you get the word out quickly and accurately. Crush is a sleek touch screen device, yet maintains what matters most: reliable calling. Crush’s tap-to-silence feature lets you silence the ringer with a simple tap to its exterior, eliminating the risk of having your phone ring at the worst moment. So easy, you can do it with your eyes closed,” Motorola also says.
