Images of three more upcoming Motorola handsets for Verizon have appeared, joining the four we ran across yesterday. While we're not seeing any more full-QWERTY keyboard messaging phones, these three latest models all have external buttons for music control, indicating a focus on audio/video features. NIAGRA (pictured) is a metallic slider, revealing another RAZR-style chemically-etched keypad, just like yesterday's CALGARY. The phone's media controls line the left edge, protruding out for a nice tactile feel. FAIRBANKS is a bulky-looking flip phone with its media controls on the phone's face. The handset apparently features push-to-talk for quickly setting up a conversation. Lastly, HARMONY is another flip phone, sporting a more streamlined look than the FAIRBANKS. It too has its media controls on its face, this time touch-sensitive controls instead of physical buttons. All three models will be coming out sometime in 2009.
