According to the latest news on the Web, Motorola has in the works at least four new handsets, dubbed VE465, ZN300, QA4 and VE66 Lux Edition. The new mobile phones seem to have been confirmed in a semi-official manner on the maker's site, although there are not too many pieces of information on them.

For the Motorola QA4 Halo only a few phone menu screenshots have made it to the Internet, so there are even less details available. Even so, some suggest that it comes with Web widget features, a 2.8-inch touchscreen with 400×240 resolution, CDMA/EV-Do connectivity and built-in accelerometer.

The Motorola VE465 has already been spotted at the time when it passed FCC approvals, and is known to be a low-end CDMA/Ev-Do clamshell with music capabilities and a 1.2-megapixel camera. The Motorola VE66 Lux, as the name suggests, is a luxury edition of the VE66 handset, yet no images with the device are available.

The ZN300 is the luckiest of the four, it seems, as an image of the device was leaked to the web, showing that the mobile phone comes to the market as the follower of the company's Motorola ZN200, which was released last year. The ZN300 will be a music slider handset and is reported to feature a 3-megapixel camera, along with a QVGA display and the Opera Mini mobile browser.

One more detail on the Motorola ZN300 is available at the moment, namely the morphing D-pad area that can be seen in the image attached to this article, which is supposed to change in accordance to the current application. The mobile phone maker is expected to announce at least the ZN300 at the mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

A possible fifth new device from Moto is a handset that should fit into the company's QA line. The phone, which seems to be dubbed Motorola QA1, might come with touch capabilities, although its screen is rather small.
