Motorola has released a model already, the V8, Linux powered.

Specs wise there is a WMP11 codec, a USB 2.0 interface, a
touchscreen customized for music, 512MB of integrated storage and up to 2GB of (microSD?) user storage. You can also read text messages on the external display. There is quad band GSM/GPRS, a 2MP cam with MPEG4 video support and 8x zoom. The external display is the same 2” QVGA screen, the internal one is 2.2” same resolution as the external one.

There is over the air syncing via MotoSync, a full HTML browser, voice
dialing without user training, EDGE, Bluetooth imaging, printing, and P2P gaming profiles. There is also the obvious MMS, WV, and SMS3 messaging. Unlocked versions are going for $500 no contract and carrier versions are going for around $300 with a two year contract.

  2. No Apple logo, no sale.

  3. No Terminal Services, No Sale!

  4. I will be purchasing mine Razr2 unlocked shortly.

  5. I was a consultant to Motorola at one point; not only is this a technologically superior handset from the inside, but most of the people who work in it are really great guys, often concerned about their own quality.

    My only regret is that the handset couldn’t emulate a previous handset when synching, so we can’t pretend to be a RAZR (v1) or ROKR and synch with OSX. This is an example of forgotten backward compatibility, but if you asked the sync guys, they’d probably have a solution in a week. No one asks this kind of question.

  6. Reguilith is being a douche nozzle. Apple is a great company, but is not the only one.

  7. Does it have 3G man ?

  8. Apples 4 n00bs!
