How important are phone names? Very, says Motorola, that’s why they are renaming the earlier reported phone Motorola Inferno into Torch.

Not really after some blaze or Fantastic 4 fanaticism but Motorola is trying to make things hotter for their new Moto for Verizon Wireless campaign.

Rumor says that Motorola will be releasing 9 new smashing phones very soon and one of them is the renamed Inferno. Now called Motorola Torch, the successor to the Motorola Krave ZN4 will be hardware tested next week.

While other scall it Blaze 2 or Krave 2, some however don’t care much as there is nothing much different with the design of this phone based on some reports except of course the extra sensitivity on its controls.

If you are too enthusiastic to touch this phone, then etter hold your horses, as the picture above is the only one leaked so far.

Motorola tries to go green with the release of its energy saving digital cordless phones, the D10 and D11.

The new phones new not have fancy features and jaw-dropping apps but they certainly have something that Mother Nature will applaud. Each of the phones boast an eco mode that swears to significantly reduce power consumption based on how far the phones are from their respective base.

According to Motorola, they used 20% recycled material in manufacturing the phone. We don’t know how they did that but logically, we hope that our Motorola folks know the difference between recycled and refurbished.

D10 and D11 have the usually backlit display, 100-number phonebook capacity and speakerphone functionality. D11 has more with SMS messaging and three-way calling feature.

There is no report on the pricing yet. It will be available by December in the UK.
