A fresh FCC filing indicates that Motorola’s prepping what we have the ability to only assume to be a lower-cost alternative to the ROKR E8, the so-called EM30. This particular device wasn’t mentioned in Moto’s leaked ‘08 lineup for Asia, suggesting that we might just see the GSM / EDGE device elsewhere — North America, specifically, since we have both 850 and 1900MHz here. The phone features Bluetooth, a 2 megapixel cam, and carries over the E8’s trick keypad, but loses the touch sensitive scroll wheel in favor of a traditional four-way setup. Looks like it’ll be available in red and gray, perfect for leaving your friends and colleagues squarely unimpressed with your choice in handsets.

At first, we were all stoked at the realization that it took HTC shy of two months to go from announcement to availability of its US-flavored Touch Dual, but then we’d this wet blanket thrown on us when we reflected on the fact that it’s been like six months since the European model was first shown. No bother — at least the US model will be among the very first devices anywhere to ship with Windows Mobile 6.1 out of the box, which is kinda cool. Ideal Buy will be offering the phone starting this weekend for $549.99 unlocked, available on its website or directly from “select” Ideal Buy Mobile locations around the country, so try not to let those visions of Diamonds distract you too much while you’re whipping out the credit card.
