Wow, this looks nice, and looks like it might be bound for T-Mobile USA:

Tsk tsk, Motorola…You really should get a handle on your leaks. Here we've got the Motorola "Marco" which is in Z-slider form. The difference with unit is that it incorporates charging contacts on the back of the device, a nice addition, and above all — WiFi! Yes sir, WiFi is in full effect. This is Motorola's first real phone (not counting smartphones, or the ill-fated Motorola CN920 which was an outsourced project that never materialized) with WiFi and it runs atop a JUIX operating system with a couple nice visual enhancements. The actual phone functioned fine, but we weren't able to test the WiFi on T-Mobile's network, yet it connected fine to our Linksys WRT350N router. You'll the inside specs lookin' pretty much like its Z3 sibling with quad-band GSM/EDGE connectivity, a 2 megapixel camera, and the same form factor but, this unit seems a little thicker — just a bit! Release has not been speculated on, but we're hearing the RAZR 2 is going to be Motorola's big push this year, and not to expect too much in a major commercial release of a new product until at least January of '08. But we can't see this phone not launching this year…Whatevs, that won't stop us though! We the best!

Looks nice, kinda like a Z3 with Wi-Fi and no flash. I'm sure there's more than just that, but thats what I noticed from the slides. I really like the flash on the Z3, but I'd probably get this with or without the flash.

I really wish the blast was hotspot at home compatible...that would tide me over till 3g or the unlocked iphone! This looks good though! The more handsets they can push out the better, its really getting to be annoying trying to sell the service and people are so willing to buy until they see the current selection of handsets and that kills the deal.

T-Mobile needs to go out with a bang this 3rd and 4th quarter. I see they like to really launch phones during the end of the 3rd quarter and into the 4th quarter. AT&T already got their boost of customers from the I-phone. Too bad AT&T wireless wasn't pruchased by T-Mobile in 2004, before Cingular snatched them up.
