The Motorola Motoroi, announced in January, made a quiet appearance on the Motorola stand at Mobile World Congress, but that didn't stop us getting a quick play with the new model.

Coming to the US in March, the Android 2.0 running smartphone packs a variety of appealing specs that will likely challenge Motorola's own Droid and the HTC built Google Nexus One for the title of top Android handset in the US.

You'll get a 3.7-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen, 8-megapixel camera with Xenon flash and 720HD camcorder, mini HDMI out port, Wi-Fi, and a unique docking station for use as an alarm clock or digital frame. On paper the MOTOROI already looks like an interesting proposition.
