We have been rumoring from the last year for Droid-minus-keboard, finally it is running in the XT720 in South Korea and the XT7201 in Chinam, but it is still time dependent to U.S.A.
There was an rumor that the device was supposed to launch on T-Mobile USA earlier this year, but it failed to materialize and it looks like Motorola went back to the drawing board to beef up the specs.
Now it is stated by Pocket-link that Motorolla is going to releas a new designed phone called Motoroi in UK this year. The new handset should include Android 2.1 with Motoblur, 8 megapixel camera with xenon flash, play back and record 720p video, mini HDMI connector, and an unnamed processor.
It also featured a 550 MHz Texas Instruments OMAP3430 in all their high-end Android phones so far. This processor might not have the higher clock speeds of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon, but it’s still based on the same ARM Cortex-A8 core.
It is uncertain which platform will be with this new Phone. They could opt for the next generation OMAP4 which features a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9, but it might be too soon to see those CPUs in a smartphone this year. Motorola currently uses Qualcomm chips in their mid-range Android lineup, so a more likely successor could be something from the Snapdragon family.
Motorola targeted about 14 million units phone sale with at least 20 smartphone. Verizon is expected to get a follow up to the Droid this Christmas, but look for T-Mobile USA to get their own exclusive high-end Android phone from Moto later this year.
I think new phone from Motorolla will be featured with high definition processor and diversified features. Do you agree with me?
