Yesterday we covered the leak of the upcoming Motorola Andorid phone, originally dubbed Calgary, but to be sold under the name Devour (or the Droid Devour, as some sources say). Although speculation had put the phones official actualization at either Motorola’s Super Bowl commercial, or Mobile World Congress, perhaps, Verizon to absitively to issue a columnist release today.
The capacitive touchscreen measures in at 3.1-inches, putting it at hardly smaller than the iPhone or Nexus One. It additionally appearance a “touch-sensitive navigation pad” (or what us BlackBerry users call an optical trackpad, but I digress). The specs of the buzz abide the same. It’ll feature a Qualcomm MSM7267 processor, clocked at 600 MHz, forth with 256MB of RAM.
Obviously, there is a big aberration between 1.x and 2.x versions of Android, considering that 2.0 and later will give you abutment for bigger Google Apps, as well as potentially multi-touch.What the columnist release did confirm, is that the buzz will be running Motorola’s MOTOBLUR user interface wrapper, which is really no surprise. No word on the camera size (it was reported to be 3-megapixels), or what version of Android it will be running (reports said 1.6, with a 2.x advancement coming after the phone’s release).
Please, prove me wrong, Motorola. One affair the leaked letters got wrong, the buzz was supposed to feature only 512MB of flash memory forth with a microSD slot, but the columnist release confirms that all the phones will ship with a 8GB microSD card “pre-installed”. It’s a nice inclusion, but the word “pre-installed” conjures up the abstraction that the microSD card slot is sealed shut.
