Motorola a finalement dévoilé son i1 (ex-Opus One), ayant la particularité d’être le premier mobile Push-To-Talk. Comprenez qu’il utilisera en fait le réseau Nextel Direct Connect de l’opérateur Sprint pour permettre à ses utilisateurs d’utiliser le mobile un peu comme un talkie walkie. A côté de ça, il dispose d’un écran tactile HVGA 3.1″, d’un capteur 5 megapixels (avec flash), d’un slot microSD, du Bluetooth, d’Opera Mobile Mini ainsi que de la technologie Swype. Il est également résistant à la poussière, à la pluie, à la pluie, et j’en passe.
Par contre, inutile d’espérer que ce téléphone soit disponible à l’île Maurice avant la fin 2011.
The Motorola H17 Bluetooth Earset features the easy-to-use RapidConnect on-off switch. Flip open to talk; flip closed to end the call and save battery. Includes CrystalTalk dual-mic technology for excellent audio. Lightweight, comfortable fit. List Price: See Details $99.99 Price: $41.99 Shipping: FREE SB Link Address

Sony Ericsson has put India ahead of UK for the launch of their most awaited handset Xperia X10. This set would be available in India on 26th March 2010 i.e. first day first show of Xperia X10 is on next Friday. Then this phone would make its debut in the month of April in UK.
This would be first Android based smartphone from Sony Ericsson in India. Ericsson fans have been waiting for this phone from a long time. Reasons that make this phone worth a buy are:
1GHz processor.
384 MB RAM.
8 Megapixels Camera.
Capacitive Touchscreen.
4.0 inches of Screen.
1 GB internal space along with 8GB card in it (Support up to 16GB card).
Android OS 1.6.
Sony would be offering Android update very soon then people can upgrade their OS from 1.6 to 2.1. This would make amazing hardware specs supported by great software to be exploited to its fullest.
It is expected to be priced somewhere near to Rs 30,000. It would give direct competition to HTC HD2 which has same processor but higher ram but Xperia win in term of better camera and lesser prices. Let’s see next moth is also going to witness more smartphone in Indian market especially Motorola Milestone which is already a big success in US with the name Droid.
Oh, bollocks! After hearing for days that Verizon Wireless would be pushing out the highly anticipated Android 2.1 update to its stable of Droid users, along comes this. Internal company documentation clearly states that the aforementioned update won’t be going down today, and there’s no clear indication of when it will. To quote:
“The OTA software update for the Droid by Motorola is TBD. A new date will be communicated as soon as possible.
The 3/18 OTA software update will not happen as planned. A new date will be communicated as soon as possible.”
We knew things were just too quiet after the noon hour, and now we know why. An impromptu support group meeting has been scheduled for 1:30PM ET, though we’re hearing the location is still being decided…
Google launched the Nexus One back in early January. Running the latest version of the Android OS. It was a very advanced phone. Outing the Droid as the best phone around. Now about 74 days after being launched the Nexus One is a failure. Conservative estimates point to only 135,000 phones being shipped. In similar time frames after introduction both the iPhone and Droid sold a million plus units each. The major question that should be asked is why such low sales for the Nexus One?
The answer seems simple, but it is a bit complex. The first major issue is that it was launched on T-Mobile, the fourth largest mobile carrier in the US. This cuts the possible install base that they could reach down to only 34 million. Typical smartphone users are increasing, but they are still only a percentage of the overall user base. The second issue was that is was launched for sale on Google’s website. The online only offer even furthers to reduce the number of people who will get the phone. Most cell phone subscribers purchase their phones through a brick and motor store or through the carriers website. Since it’s launch the Nexus One has finally hit AT&T’s wireless network bands. To be fair you can’t by the phone with an AT&T contract, yet. Now Sprint has joined the Nexus One bandwagon, and that makes four. Verizon’s Nexus One was announced back on launch with a spring 2010 release date.
With the Nexus One slated to appear on all the major carriers will it see increased sales? Possibly, but not in any significant numbers. The problem is by the time it will hit these networks new and better Android devices will be already on them or just about to launch.
Verizon is rumored to be a few weeks away from launching a new HTC Android handset called the Incredible. The Incredible is supposed to be running a 1GHz Snapdragon processor underclocked to 768 MHz, with 512 DRAM and around 6GB of Flash RAM with an MicroSD expansion slot. The camera has been upgraded to 8MP from the Nexus One’s 5MP camera. The underclocked processor may turn off users, but it should be able to be restored back to it’s 1GHz speed with some 3rd party code. The incredible will also be sold in Verizon’s store along side the Droid and other Android phones. In my opinion this is a better buy then the Nexus One, unless the N-1 is priced very attractively (which I don’t think will happen).
Sprint is getting the HTC Supersonic later this summer. The Supersonic is going to be the first 4G Android handset running on Sprint’s WiMax network. It is supposed to be running a 1GHz Snapdragon processor with 1GB of ROM, it’s been called an HD2 running Android 2.1. More information is supposed to be released at CITA when Sprint is rumored to announce the phone officially.
Now AT&T has just got it’s first android handset the Motorola Backflip. It has been gutted horribly, Google search ahs been replaced with Yahoo and you can only install apps from the Android Marketplace. This to me screams like AT&T wanted to get on the Android bandwagon and phone this in. I think it’s just iPhone love AT&T has, it will be interesting to see if a true Android device actually hits the store. T-Mobile has had the Nexus One from launch and it has not gather much sales. Will we see it in the stores? Who knows, but I have a feeling another powerful phone is being prepped for T-Mobile for a later launch. I consider AT&T and T-Mobile non factors for true Nexus One carrier support and I don’t think it will find a home on any of the other two carriers.
The Nexus One has failed, long live the Incredible/Supersonic.

Looks like the Motorola CLIQ XT / Quench is getting closer to its US debut — here it is all dressed up in T-Mobile branding. We’ve already done a full video hands-on with this bad boy, so we’ll just point you to that for the full rundown, and to the read link for a few more pics.
The Motorola Droid, and its hard-to-open box. Be careful, one false move and your new phone will pop out and fall on the floor. Luckily, this one landed in my lap.
The Motorola Milestone ($199 on a three-year contract with Telus) is much-needed and welcome competitor in the fight to dethrone the iPhone from its dominant position in Canada’s smartphone wars.
The Milestone is the same phone sold as the Droid south of the border. This naming confusion is symbolic of Motorola’s failure in fighting the iPhone. They are fighting one of the most powerful brands and iconic devices ever, but they make the awful decision to market the Milestone under different names in different markets. It’s a lot harder to build worldwide momentum for your product if you’re trying to sell something called the Droid in the U.S. and the Milestone in Canada and Europe.
Naming issues aside, Motorola has a great product on its hands, mostly thanks to the quickly improving Android OS.
Software
The Milestone’s big selling point is its operating system, Google’s Android OS. The review unit I have is running the 2.0.1 variety of Android. After two-and-a-half years of iPhone use, it was liberating to use something that could do things not approved by Apple headquarters. Android 2.0, while not the slick, user-friendly experience the iPhone offers, is a completely acceptable operating system for techies and advanced users who can live with a few kinks. It’s a shame the upgrade process on the Android side isn’t simple. 2.1 seems to be a faster, better, snappier Android, but Milestone users in Canada have no way of know when the will get that update on their phones. Google seems to be favouring the HTC-made Nexus One for updates, which isn’t available in Canada.
Searching (Google’s advertising-based bread & butter) is unsurprisingly awesome while using Android. It’s exponentially better than on the iPhone. The Android OS is able to search for websites as you type a query, allowing you to reach online destinations that much quicker. The web browser is a capable one. While it may not be as fast as the iPhone, at least you never want to throw it against a wall while surfing, as is the case with Windows Mobile and BlackBerry smartphones.
There are bugs with Android, the scrolling is no where near as smooth as the iPhone and the OS doesn’t seem to be as responsive to your touches, but it works. Because there are so many phones that run Android, sometimes 3rd party apps seem like they weren’t designed with the Milestone in mind. That’s the price to pay for a fragmented market.
Is there an app for that?
The Android Marketplace, while missing some great titles found in Apple’s App store, is not anemic. There are a ton of good and bad apps to fill your time. Yes, it’s disappointing that some of my iPhone favourites, like Yahtzee! or MLB’s AtBat app aren’t there. Hopefully that will change with time. On the flip side however, some Apps are better on Android, like Photoshop. This is because Google allows apps to work better with each other within Android.
As well, Google obviously favours its devices, as shown with by the recent launch of an app called Gesture Search. The app allows you to search your phone by writing with your finger, and is only available for Android phones. This favouritism, coupled with Apple’s draconian app approval process when it comes to things like Google Voice, means a better experience if you want to use Google’s tools and services.
Hardware
The Milestone is a pretty sleek device. It is however just a tad too thick, making me long for a physical keyboard-less model like the still unreleased-in-Canada Nexus One. Speaking of the keyboard, it’s really bad, and I didn’t use it unless I had to. Some apps had a glitch where the virtual keyboard covered up options on the screen, so I was forced to use the slide-out keyboard in those instances. While I’ve used several gummy smartphone keyboards before, this one was worse because the keys are particularly undefined. Luckily Android’s virtual offering is pretty even with the iPhone’s.
Overall the styling is industrial yet pleasing to the eye. Although I will say I like the Milestone’s backside styling better than its front. The screen is big and bright. Really big and really bright. I holds up extremely well outdoors, and the auto-brightness feature worked very well. Paying with that 3.7 inch touchscreen is a pleasure.
Battery life seems to be better than average when it comes to traditionally juice-draining 3G devices. While you’ll have to recharge every night if you’re a heavy user, you’ll get to the charger with a little more green displayed in that battery icon.
Sleek, sexy, and with an awful keyboard.
Other points in point form
- Multi-touch pinch and zoom does work while surfing the web and navigating maps, but it doesn’t feel as awesome as the same function on the iPhone.
- The location of the lock/sleep switch is somehow difficult to press. I suspect this has to do with the thickness of the device. In fact, I find all of the button placements slightly off, ergonomically speaking.
- The camera, both picture-quality and software wise, are exceptional.
- I was able to sync music just fine to the Milestone from my Mac by using doubleTwist, a free application that tries to fight the shackles of iTunes.
- The Milestone’s speakerphone is quite loud but a little hollow-sounding.
- The Gmail app should be better considering it’s a Google-powered OS.
- One other nice touch about this phone is that it like an Apple product, it does as little as possible to remind you of your carrier. You won’t find a Telus logo upon starting up the phone or any branding on the device itself. In fact the only time the word “Telus” appears is on the lock screen. Awesome.
- Telus’ 3G network was fast and stable when I used it, so take that anecdotal evidence for what it’s worth.
Final thoughts
I admit I love my iPhone. It’s still my phone of choice, thanks to its smooth graphics and ease of use. Having said that, the Android OS on the Milestone was a complete breath of fresh air. I enjoyed having a device whose limitations are based on what developers can do with the hardware and software, not on decisions made in an office in Cupertino. I eagerly await the next OS update from Apple. If it doesn’t do much to open up the experience on the iPhone, my next smartphone purchase may very well run a flavour of Android.
Motorola KRZR K1 Black Mobile has been exponential in introducing and popularizing the concept of slim phones. We have all seen the popularity of Motorola RAZR that has been consistently topping the popularity charts ever since its inception.

I recently picked the new Motorola Droid from Verizon. I had the ENv Touch and the battery went out on it, I wasn’t actually planning on getting a new phone, but technology and new things seem to call to me.
I have to say that I am completely satisfied with the Droid up to this point. Granted, that I have only had it for 4 days now, but I usually base my opinions within the initial phases of things.
I am not going to list all the specs, if you want to see click here.
I am impressed with the speed of the phone. Web browsing is nice and quick. True web browsing, with the pages loading up in amazing time for a phone, especially when the Wi-Fi is enabled and there is a network available; but the 3G network seems to do the job just as well too.
I am not going to lie though, the phone is huge, it’s not an attractive phone. I mean if you want a phone that is going to fit in your pocket nicely, this isn’t for you. Although, the Droid HTC has all the same specs as the Motorola version, so you may want to consider that if the size of the phone is an issue. I chose not to get the HTC because I wanted the bigger screen and the slide out keyboard.
Being a fan the IpodTouch (ipod version of the Iphone), I really enjoy the similarities in the Droid that the IpodTouch has. Since I have Verizon, I had to find an alternative to the Iphone.
I also love the 5mp camera on the phone. The Picture quality the Droid provides coming from a phone is really nice to have. Not to mention that you can virtually upload the images almost instantly to any application you want. Whether it’s facebook, your email, or pic texting.
I like the Droid since I use a lot of Google Apps, and it being a Google phone, it works smoothly with the Gmail, GoogleTalk, Youtube, and some others.
I may feel differently about in a month or so, but so far so good.
Setiap kali saya posting blog, saya lebih terbiasa melakukannya via hp. Memang sih beberapa postingan saya ada juga yang saya ketik langsung di monitor komputer. Itu juga dikarenakan keterbatasan jumlah karakter huruf pada hp yang tidak memungkinkan bagi saya untuk menulis lebih dari 5000 karakter. Meskipun begitu tetap saja draft tulisan saya tulis di hp.
Paling banter saya menulis 3000 karakter untuk sebuah postingan. Itu juga dah lumayan panjang menurutku.
Selain itu pula, posting via hp yang diintegrasikan dengan email, biaya yang dikeluarkannya terhitung lebih murah.
Murah karena hitungannya seperti ini, setiap delapan karakter dihitung satu byte. Jika saya menulis hanya 3000 karakter, maka besar kapasitas yang digunakan hanya 375 byte.
Apalagi jika menggunakan IM3 , per-kb hanya Rp 1. Paling setiap ngirim kena cash seperak doang. Ditambah biaya ini itu buat konek paling mahal nggak lebih dari 5 kb.
Klo mau posting ada fotonya gimana?
Bisa kok, tinggal di attach aja. Lagian juga foto hasil jepret dari hp biasanya ukurannya ga gede-gede amat. Resolusi si kameranya disesuaikan dengan ukuran area postingan. Klo lebih, biasanya si foto suka meleber ke samping. Paling, jadi Rp 100 klo fotonya berukuran 100 kb.
Hoh gitu toh!!
Tapi… Tapi… Ga pegel apa ngetik pake hp ampe 3000 karakter? Apalagi dilihat dari gaya penulisannya tampak baku sesuai EYD (ejaan yang dipaksain) dan tidak menggunakan gaya penulisan sms yang disingkat-singkat?
Ah ngga juga. Klo gaya nulis yang dialaykan itu baru pegel.
Sebenarnya hp-hp yang banyak dikonsumsi oleh rakyat Indonesia (kecuali merk cina) sudah menyediakan fasilitas menulis cepat atau kalau dalam hp nokia biasa kita kenal dengan T9, klo motorola iTap. Klo hp cina saya tidak tahu, belum pernah coba.
Sayangnya, fasilitas ini jarang dimanfaatkan untuk menulis. Karena orang tidak banyak tahu bagaimana cara menggunakannya.
Padahal cara menulis T9 bisa dikatakan lebih efisien ketimbang menulis sms yang ribet. Semuanya berpulang kepada kebiasaan. Tapi klo mau nulis hingga 3000 karakter, disarankan menguasai cara menulis T9.
Pernah seorang teman mengatakan bahwa saya adalah orang pertama yang ia lihat meng-sms pake T9. Sebuah pujian atau keterkejutan.
Klo kata yang ingin saya masukkan tidak terdapat dalam program T9 gimana? Tenang saja, kata baru itu bisa dimasukkan dan disimpan bilamana ingin digunakan lagi di kemudian waktu.
Hp-nya musti yang keren?
Ga juga. Dulu aja saya pake nokia 6585 buat chating dan kirim email oke-oke aja tuh. Dengan gaya menulis T9 pula. Terus pake motorola V3, sedikit ribet tapi lumayan bisa kirim dan terima email.
Sedangkan tren masa kini, orang-orang banyak beralih menggunakan hp-nya dengan model buntet yang menjejalkan 26 huruf didalamnya. Meskipun begitu, fasilitas yang semakin lengkap justru tidak membawa efek positif dalam menulis. Tetap saja disingkat padat asal tepat.
Belum lagi fasilitas internet yang ga jauh cuman dipakai hanya untuk social network, update status, atau say helo.
Ga salah emang jika kita menggunakannya untuk hal-hal di atas. Hanya saja kita tidak sering kali luput menggunakannya seoptimal peruntukannya. Dan malah mengumpulkan gadget-gadget itu hanya untuk satu fungsi saja.
Bagi saya, asal bisa kring-kring dan sms sudah cukup. Klo saya harus bisa mengabadikan setiap moment yang terjadi. Klo saya harus selalu update dengan teman-teman di dunia maya.
Apapun alasannya, gunakan hp-mu sesuai dengan kemampuanya. Kenali fasilitas yang disediakannya dan ketahui pengunaannya.
Bener-bener ngalor-ngidul.

If Microsoft’s lack of innovation is due to it’s departments screwing each other up, isn’t that a sign of bad leadership?
As John Gruber said today:
Can you imagine the head of Apple’s iWork team declaring by fiat that there wouldn’t be versions of Keynote, Pages, and Numbers for the iPad because he didn’t like the concept?
They can’t because if they did, Steve Jobs (and the other high level Apple execs) wouldn’t tolerate it.
Motorola was in a position not unlike Microsoft last year when they hired CEO Sanjay Jha. The ailing company hadn’t had a hit product since the RAZR, and now that the world had moved on to smartphones, it was in serious trouble.
From a New York Times article last October:
[Jha] discovered that the group making phones with Nokia’s Symbian operating system was staffed almost entirely by outside contractors. The entire project appeared to lack coordination and it was constantly months late in delivering phones. “They were fixing the same bug three or four times,” he said. “It was the contractors run amok.” Even worse, Motorola was not making money on its Symbian phones.
Mr. Jha soon decided to axe the entire Symbian product line as well as phones using several other operating systems. He wanted to simplify product development to standardize on one or two core systems.
The culmination of this revitalization was the Motorola Droid, arguably the second best smartphone behind the iPhone, and a hit from Motorola.
Microsoft has the talent and certainly the resources to make great products. They just have to stop tripping themselves up doing so. They need a leader with a cohesive strategy for every product Microsoft makes, as well as one who will look at each product thoroughly and not be afraid to say “this isn’t good enough.”

I am a road cyclist and started researching bike stands. When I initially looked at the stand I thought it was not going to be stable enough and would be fragile but when I got it was surprised to find out that little assembly was required and works like a charm and the beauty of it is if you have additional bikes you can attach the raaks together which is a great idea. I would highly recommend this product if you are looking for a stand that does not take up alot of space, and is stable.

I was a Blackberry user. I had already been sold on smartphones, and was one of those BlackBerry users who scoffed when the iPhone came out as something expensive and shiny that could only do a fraction of what my Blackberry could, and yet was tied to an expensive plan on a single carrier.
I was aware of Android and had been running it for a while in a virtual machine hoping it would develop as a mature netbook OS. I saw the G1 come out on T-Mobile and subsequent HTC offerings on Sprint as well. And then came Droid.
By the time my two years had ended and my phone came up for upgrade, the new Blackberries were just not as impressive. The Blackberry Storm had terrible reviews from friends, and was equally unimpressive when I tried it at the store. After two years of use, I found the ball of my Blackberry was very finicky over time.
In the same I used my Blackberry for so much. It was my mp3 player, my email client, my camera, and my alarm clock. I had recently started to use Google Voice, which also integrated well on Blackberry. I got an iPod Touch, but while the touch screen worked, and an mp3 player, I was very irked by how locked down it was, and how it seemed to have comparatively less features than the Blackberry, even my two-year old one.
Enter the Motorola Droid. I got my Droid about a month ago and so far has been the answer to my post-Blackberry experience. For the most part, it has been far more stable than my Blackberry and iPod Touch have been. It again fills my need for an mp3 player, a camera, an alarm clock, an email client, a calender, and in addition, a pocket video gaming platform.
From a nerds perspective, I can get ssh and a terminal directly from the App store without having to jailbreak or root my Droid. The control over the device is amazing. For the linux user part, I like that it does not rely on a software platform to integrate it with my laptop. I just put all my music in a folder on the sD card (simply by plugging in the USB cable that came with the Droid into my computer) and Android automatically organizes the library. The same for pictures and video. No need for iTunes to do this. To be fair, this is exactly what my Blackberry did as well. Droid comes with the Amazon.com downloader so you can purchase mp3’s directly to your Droid and copy your music over to your PC’s library no problem.
The battery life is mediocre. Better than my wife’s iPhone but not nearly as good as my Blackberry was even after two years. Blackberry definitely wins in that area.
If you are a Google user, the Droid integrates with all your Google account stuff, so anything on your Google calender and your Google Contacts can be sync’d. It’s not just Google, it can do this with Outlook and Facebook as well! The Google Voice app integrates even better than with the Blackberry. Whenever you make a call you can be prompted to call through Google Voice or through your regular number. The same goes for SMS.
Similar to the Apple experience, and an area Blackberry has been trying to do, there is a common software repository called the Android Market which is full of free and paid apps. I have generally found that while there are more Apple apps, the Android apps are more useful, such as getting ssh or a good IRC client for free. The gaming experience is pretty decent too, if you don’t mind the hit on your battery life, but there’s apps for that too.
Other cool apps are an Ebay app that can scan the barcode from any label and search for that item on Ebay. Another one is Google Goggles from which the user can take a picture of something (a brand name, or a painting) and the app will come back with a Google search for it.
The Google Streetview integrated navigation system is a very nice thing to have if you happen to live in Los Angeles or any other major city, and so far has worked pretty well.
My recommendation is that if you can afford the required data package add-on, to go ahead and get the Motorola Droid. The learning curve for it is not very steep, and it is loaded with functionality. It is also one of the most stable mobile platforms available right now.
Analysts agree Motorola Inc. still needs to shed its iconic but unprofitable handset phone division, but whether the company will become leaner this year is uncertain.
“When you have such a small market share you need to have something unbelievably hot,” said Scott Testa, a professor at Cabrini College in Philadelphia and an expert on the wireless industry. “A lot of other manufacturers are coming out with Android phones. That’s not going to take them to the Promised Land.”
Mobile manufacturer launches direct attack on Garmin and TomTom with free turn-by-turn direction software.
Nokia has announced that its free maps software will now include turn-by-turn directions for walking and driving. The Ovi Maps application will be compatible with 10 current handsets, including the N97 Mini, E72 and 5800 XPressMusic, and will be pre-loaded on every GPS-enabled handset sold from March 2010. The maps, in 2D & 3D, will all load onto phones either over the air or via a Mac or PC, meaning that a network connection, as is currently required for other mobile phone mapping solutions, is not necessary when they’re in use as a GPS.
In association with mapping firm Navteq, which Nokia has owned since 2007, Ovi Maps will cover 180 countries, and offer turn by turn information for 74 of those, in 46 languages. Traffic data will also be available for 10, including the UK, although its use would form part of a mobile phone tariff. Preloading maps, however, means expensive data roaming charges can be avoided when abroad.
The technology is based on “vectors”, rather than the traditional “bitmap” images used by other maps. This means the images, although of similar appearance, are about half the size, and can be stored and downloaded more easily. Information is included on major landmarks, which are shown in 3D, and the data also incorporates lane and speed camera guidance for vehicles, and shortcuts, such as through public parks, for pedestrians.
Launching the service, Anssi Vanjoki, Nokia’s Executive Vice President, said that offering Ovi Maps free for the life of a Nokia smartphone would act as a way of differentiating the company’s devices in a crowded market place, and allow them to defend higher prices than other manufacturers who did not offer similar services.
Google has indicated, for instance, that it is unlikely to offer turn-by-turn directions on its Nexus One handset when it launches in the UK. The services is available on the Nexus One in America however, and also already on some devices such as the Motorola Milestone in the UK.
Nokia’s developers Forum, which the company says already includes 5 million software developers, will be encouraged to develop applications to augment the contextual search functions built into Ovi Maps. Lonely Planet and the Michelin Guide will also come pre-loaded.
The move is likely to prove a challenge to makers of standalone satnavs such as Garmin and TomTom. Asked how the move could impact on those companies, Mr Vanjoki was bullish: “I would not like to be a shareholder,” he said
Google may not be too interested in giving their US market native app multitouch in the Nexus One, but Motorola aims to please, with CEO Sanjay Jha promising to "deliver multitouch in the majority of our devices."
Going on, he told Laptop Mag "There’s a complex set of factors, not all of them technical," which makes us wonder is he’s referring to Google’s thoughts on multitouch Androids. Google’s motto may be "don’t be evil," but giving European Nexus One owners native multitouch and ignoring other countries is frankly baffling. [Laptop Mag via Phone Arena via Engadget]
Motorola Spites Google, Promises Multitouch For All [Phones] Kat Hannaford Thu, 14 Jan 2010 10:55:23 GMT
LAS VEGAS–On Wednesday, Motorola launched its latest Google Android smartphone to the world, the Motorola Backflip. Scheduled for a global release at the beginning of 2010, Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha said the device would be available in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and North America but would not disclose any carriers. Oh gee, it couldn’t possibly be AT&T, which announced 5 upcoming Android smartphones, including one from Motorola, could it?

The smartphone’s design is really what sets it apart, however. At first glance, the Backflip looks like a sleeker, smaller version of the Motorola Cliq, but instead of a slider design, the opens up like a book. In addition, in its closed state, the full QWERTY keyboard is located on the back. For those concerned about durability, Motorola said the keyboard is strong enough to take a beating and keep on clicking but of course, that remains to be seen.

Another unique feature of the Backflip is the trackpad, which Moto calls Backtrack, located on the back of the display (when the phone is open). It works just like a traditional trackpad, allowing you to navigate through menus, flip through photos, scroll through the home screen panes, and more. It’s certainly an interesting twist, but we’re not completely sold on it. You can also interact with the smartphone through the 3.1-inch HVGA touch screen.

Like the Motorola Cliq, the Backflip uses Motoblur software and though it will launch with Android 1.5, the smartphone will be upgradeable to Android 2.1.
Other highlights of the smartphone include a
5-megapixel camera,
a 3.5mm headphone jack,
2GB internal memory (expandable up to 32GB),
and a full HTML browser.

Andy Rubin’s business card identifies him as the Vice President of Engineering at Google (s GOOG). In reality, he’s the Mountain View, Calif.-based search engine’s mobile chief. From the time Google snapped up his tiny startup, Android, to today, when it officially launched the first Google Phone, Rubin (and his partner Rich Miner) have been behind virtually every mobile move made by the company.
And until very recently, Rubin had maintained that Google wasn’t going to make a Google Phone. So when news of the Nexus One first broke, I was flabbergasted that after all the denials it was actually doing so. To that end, I asked him: How is Google suddenly in the hardware business?
“Google isn’t building hardware,” Rubin said. He noted how Apple’s (s aapl) iPhone typically carries the tag “Designed in California,” which explicitly points to that company’s hardware roots. Not so with Google. “We are not designers and there are no hardware or industrial designers on my team,” said Rubin. Instead they leave it to companies such as HTC, which has made the Nexus One.
More Google Phones to Come
“For the first time, we’re issuing purchasing orders to the manufacturers so we are now their customers,” he added, “which means we can now have more influence on the device.” That influence is quite visible in the Nexus One, as I point out in my review. And Rubin said Google is working with manufacturers in addition to HTC that also want to benefit from the sales push on Google’s web site.

Those words won’t placate some of the company’s partners, which according to my sources are livid at Google’s decision to promote the HTC-built device, which works with T-Mobile USA’s 3G network. Motorola (s MOT) and Verizon (s VZ) , which have collectively spent close to $100 million promoting the Android-based Droid, are said to be particularly miffed at this decision to launch the Google Phone. One look at the Nexus One and no one in their right mind would even consider the Droid. More importantly, imagine competing with the company that makes the OS itself.
“People shouldn’t focus too much on the device (Nexus One),” said Rubin. “What’s more important is the strategy behind the devices.” Instead of spending hundreds of millions of dollars on marketing, Google is simply “going straight to the Google customers,” he said. He believes that such a strategy could fundamentally change the way people buy cell phones — in other words, over the web. Already, as he pointed out, people are buying devices (and gadgets) online.
The way I see it, Google has a couple of major problems: It’s facing a splintering of the Android experience, thanks to the growing number of user experience efforts such as HTC’s Sense. And in order to quickly get traction in the marketplace, Google needs to attract more developers. To overcome these challenges, the company needs to seed the market with what it feels is the device that best showcases Android’s capabilities.
150,000 True Fans
Rubin hopes his company can sell, at the very least, 150,000 Nexus One devices. Why? “Because if there are that many devices out there, you are likely to run into someone with a device somewhere,” he reasoned. To be clear, that number is only applicable to the U.S., even though the device will be available in the UK, Singapore and Hong Kong.
Google won’t have any trouble selling that many devices. There are more than enough fanatical users of the company’s services, such as Gmail and Google Maps, to make that happen. The Nexus One and subsequent Google Phones will continue to be tightly integrated with Google’s services.
Cell Phone As a Platform
When I asked Rubin about some of the shortcomings of the Nexus One and of the Android platform in general, he was candid in admitting that there was still work to be done. “We could have easily seeded the developers with this new device with a higher-resolution screen, but we decided to wait till the announcement was made,” he said. Now that the device has been launched, Google, he said, was looking to aggressively woo developers. Expect it to make some major announcements on that front soon.
The world has changed, Rubin argued. Up until now, the software inside the phone and the web were two different entities living in two different worlds. What Android represents is the ethos of the web brought to the cell phone world. “As a company we iterate a lot and now you have a cell-phone platform that you can quickly iterate upon,” said Rubin. “When were you able to do that on Symbian?” Ouch! (Related: Symbian Executive Rips Into Google’s Android.)
I think that’s what makes Android such as interesting platform, as I explained in my essay, The Androidification of Everything. When I asked Rubin where Android could show up next, he said it could be anywhere — from set-top boxes to large-screen devices, even desktop PCs.
Becoming a mobile-device maker seems like madness, but Google’s not crazy.
Why on earth would Google (GOOG) want to go into the business of making cell phones?

By now most followers of tech news are aware that the company has been testing a product dubbed the Google Nexus–the highly anticipated “Google phone” set to be launched today. But does Google’s move into territory dominated by specialists like Nokia (NOK) and Motorola (MOT) and consumer electronics stalwarts like Apple (AAPL) and Samsung make sense?
Google is an Internet advertising company, after all, trafficking in search terms and text ads. The company has partnered with myriad handset makers and carriers to bring its Android operating system for mobile devices to consumers. Why would it ever want to bypass its partners, putting out its own phone?
It’s simple: Google is seizing an opportunity to speed up innovation. “No one is going to be able to innovate as quickly as Google can with all these fantastic engineering resources they have plus lots of cash in the bank,” says Forrester Research’s Charles Golvin. “They’re doing this to light the way—to say, ‘here is everything Android can do.”
Nexus = razor blade, Android = razor
There is much excitement about the snazzy Android operating system. It holds the potential to support all kinds of services. Developers are watching it carefully and have plans to create applications for it in the future. But with limited resources, many have not actually abandoned the platforms they’re developing for currently. Says one Boston-based developer, “We’re keeping an eye on it. But we’re sticking with Apple, RIM and Microsoft for now.”
As of third quarter, Android-supported phones only accounted for 5% of the market according to IDC. Compare that to Apple’s iPhone, which has 29% of the market, or RIM’s (RIMM) Blackberry devices, which collectively dominate with 44% of the market. And though developers are excited by the future prospects of Android, many report Apple’s closed platform still makes for a more elegant application—with a lot more potential users. And RIM is the key to the corporate user.
All bets are on Android to catch up over time, but time is a luxury that Google can’t afford in this fast moving market. Sure, dozens of Android-supported phones are being developed, but they are often produced by hardware makers, not software companies. Google has partnered very closely with a number of these companies to bring new features to consumers. Motorola’s Droid, for example, runs Android 2.0 and includes a full GPS system. But they’re not moving fast enough for the Internet search behemoth. By revealing a new device with a speedier response and a number of upgrades, Google shows off what is possible with Android and encourages its partners to adopt the technology.
Going with the Flo?
It’s a familiar play among large tech companies. Consider what the chipmaker Qualcomm (QCOM) has done with FLO TV, a business that aims to provide live television to cellphones. Visit the San Diego campus, and you’ll be given a tour of the television studios that bare a striking resemblance to GE’s CNBC. Qualcomm makes chips and licenses software. It has no interest in getting into the TV business, but CEO Paul Jacobs understands that if his company can seed a TV business on mobile devices, then device makers will buy the special chip required to air the network. Result? Qualcomm sells more chips.
Of course if Qualcomm ends up in the TV business, the company won’t turn down the revenue. And by the same token, it could very well be that Google one day makes so much money off advertising on mobile platforms that it can afford to subsidize devices itself, bypassing the carriers entirely. But a move that disruptive is a long way off. First, Google has to convince an iPhone-obsessed nation that there’s an app for that—on Android.
Motorola must have enjoyed the feel of ropes against their back. There’s no other explanation for the MILESTONE. They obviously needed to be pushed against the ropes to remember what made them the world’s largest manufacturer. It’s been a long road for them, with plenty of milestones. But that last one marks the end of a particularly steep downhill stretch.
We haven’t seen an Android phone generate so much hype since… the first one, the T-Mobile G1. The Motorola MILESTONE seems to be the powerhouse that the Android family needed and obviously many customers were looking forward to.
I also love the 5mp camera on the phone. The Picture quality the Droid provides coming from a phone is really nice to have. Not to mention that you can virtually upload the images almost instantly to any application you want. Whether it’s facebook, your email, or pic texting.
Motorola Motus BACKFLIP was announced at January 2010 and will be in market soon on first quarter of 2010. Motorola BACKFLIP with MOTOBLUR syncs contacts, posts, messages and more, automatically delivering them to your home screen. This phone comes with very exciting and interesting features. This phone comes with accelerometer sensor to automatically rotate your screen, MOTOBLUR UI with live widgets to give you better experience. Here is full QWERTY keyboard with reverse flip facility and backtrack touch panel for good support. When you need to use its keyboard just flip it and all buttons will be shining and enjoy the QWERTY keyboard.
