Reuters reports Motorola CEO Ed Zander is making the rounds at 3GSM World Congress 2005 in Cannes, France with a prototype of a RAZR-like version of the company's much thicker MPx Pocket PC Phone—no doubt to the astonishment of some—which would bring smartphone-like features to an ultra-slim handset in RAZR V3 style.

Reuters quotes one London-based financial analyst as exclaiming, "I didn't know you could make them this thin."

Not much is known about the RAZR-thin MPx, other than it integrates a QWERTY keyboard like its forerunner. Internally, according to Engadget, Motorola employees refer to the Pocket PC Phone as a RAZRberry.

Motorola unveiled the current MPx model to great acclaim at 3GSM World Congress 2004. It features a unique dual-hinge design that lets the mobile handset open both vertically and horizontally, and also integrates Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless networking.

The version of the MPx being shown off by Zander at 3GSM should ship later this year. We'll report more details as they become available.

As for the current model, it has not found its way to many markets. It only recently starting to ship in Asia, with a recent report saying it would finally enter the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) region this April.
