Motorola has announced the forthcoming launch of yet another ROKR musicphone variant in the MOTOROKR EM35.

The slider features the Linux Java (nee MOTOMAGX) operating system, quadband GSM/EDGE, QVGA display, Bluetooth with stereo audio support, speakerphone, 3.1 megapixel camera with video recorder, 3.5mm headphone jack, and microSDHC expansion slot.

The main focus of the EM35 is the built-in MOTOMUSIC player which doubles as a connected storefront offering access to over the air music purchases as well as full Windows Media 11 support for media sync. The phone also features an internal FM radio with RDS support for song identification and will operate over Bluetooth, negating the need for a wired headset.

The phone is expected to be available later this quarter with no pricing information available at this time.
