A new bar-style phone from Motorola has cleared the FCC's approval process. The EM30 is very similar to the MOTOROKR E8, but it loses the omega wheel navigation scroll bar and replaces it with a standard D-pad. Similar to the E8, it has the morphing keypad, which changes depending on which application is being used. Other things confirmed by the FCC documents and accompanying photos are the GSM/EDGE radios, stereo Bluetooth, full 3.5mm headset jack, microSD slot, large internal memory, as well as Motorola's Crystal Talk technology. No carrier branding was seen on the EM30, but it could work on most GSM/EDGE networks.
