Motorola has announced that the stylish MOTO U9 is now available in the US and is currently being sold for $275.99 unlocked. This GSM based cell phone resembles the style of the PEBL, but is targeted at the music-centric youth market. While the true standout feature of the MOTO U9 is the stylish design, the 2.0 megapixel camera, 2 inch QVGA TFT internal display, and advanced speech recognition system are solid components.

With the lack of 3G connectivity, this unlocked GSM cell phone is destined for a happy T-mobile USA customer, but at $275.99 will the device see a warm welcome? Personally, the unlocked Palm Centro GSM offers a much more attractive package despite its aging OS and less than stellar camera. If you are looking for a stylish music phone and do not need the 3G connectivity of At&t’s network, the MOTO U9 is worth a peak.
