The handset will inherit the RAZR V3 operating system and 90 % of its "DNA".

Motorola fans all over the world- you have another reason to smile about! The Motorola RIZR Z3 slider phone has been approved by the Federal Communications Commission, thus, we have another mobile phone from Motorola with almost the same "DNA" as the RAZR V3, and running the exact same operating system as its thin clamshell older brother (that is what we have heard about it anyway).

The guys at FCC have published on their website lots of info about the new coming handset, but don't think you'll be able to find there some kind of specification sheet because this just ain't there job. If you'll be patient enough, you might take a look at some external and internal photos of the device, some radiated electric field emissions test results (pretty scary name for a test, but a passed one anyway :) ), a full user manual, some test setup photos and other stuff that not much people care or have the patience to take at least a glance at.

After the FCC approval, the phone should be launched very soon on the mobile market, and we'll have to wait for an official release and some info about the price and the store launch date of the RIZR. We will keep you informed, so stay around and browse the news for future info.
