The pic tells you most of what else you need to know about the handset, but it doesn't reveal the 3Mp camera, 802.11n Wi-Fi connectivity, assisted GPS pick-up, and dual-band HSDPA 3G and quad-band GSM/Edge network linkage.

It doesn't tell you the screen size, either: 2.8in, 320 x 480, in point of fact.

The battery is good for eight hours' talk time, Moto claimed, and will last for up to 30 days on stand-by.

Basically, Fire is a FaceTweet phone, and will be pitched at avid social networkers. ®
