AT&T Might Launch Motorola Motus in April or May Next Year
Motorola has been rumored to be preparing to launch a few handsets featuring the Android operating platform. Of these sets, you would have already learned about a few such as the Sholes Tablet and the Motorola Motus. Of these, we have learned a little more about the Motus, and the news on the internet says that the handset may hit the US markets under the auspices of AT&T sometime around April or May in 2010.
AT&T is being expected to launch the Motorola Motus in the first batch of Android phones that the wireless carrier is planning to launch the next year. However, many are expecting, at least Engadget thinks so, that the AT&T release would be offering the handset with the same specifications and features, which have already been announced.
The Motorola Motus has also been called Backflip for quite a while, and this is because of its unique design which involves a keypad flipping backwards when the phone is opened, and moving back to the front again when it is closed. Apart from that, the phone can take another position in which it can stand upright, which makes it a very good choice for acting as an alarm clock or for displaying a video.
Of the specifications of the Motus appearing on Engadget, the 5.0 mega pixel camera, which would come mounted on the keypad, along with LED flash, backlit dome-shaped keys, about 0.75 inch thick, making it a touch bulky, are worth mentioning. But the really good news for Motorola phone fans is that the phone will come with the MotoBlur interface. Furthermore, the phone is also being rumored to be run on the Snapdragon processor, which cannot really be confirmed, but those who have taken a look at it report that its responsiveness is excellent. So far, so good. However while the Motorola Droid made its way into Europe as the Milestone, there is no news yet on whether Europe will see a version of the Motus.
