Donut Has Arrived!
| by Rob Jackson on September 10th, 2009 |
Remember when Cupcake Arrived? Well now the tasty dessert has a friend of its own kind – a larger than life Donut next to the Robot and Cupcake is at Googleplex!

This was sent in to Phandroid by Daniel@Google – Thanks Man! As I told him, we’ve been HECTIC over here trying to cover the Cliq. This is a fun change of pace that put a smile on my face. I’m also kind of glad that Moto only announced one phone because otherwise my head would explode from all the rushed writing/recording/picture-taking/uploading/etc…!
Let the highly irritating “Not funniez prank – When Can I Haz My Donuts?!?!?!” comments begin! (BTW the above picture is NOT a prank, you can see how they made that original Cupcake if you please.)

MOTO cliq has 250mg internal space just like the G1…it must be coming with donut….but can it flash Eclair OTA? i wonder….

This is a good sign for the rumored late October launch of the (rumored donut having) Moto Sholes. You would think that Donut would be announced before the Sholes.

A whole month

i thought that Donut has actually arrived and is being released OTA

@glyco
Cliq has 512mb ROM memory. 256mb of it’s a User Storage.
G1 has 256 ROM memory, and for user is about 80 of it.

Glyco is confused…Cliq has 512 ROM.

Does this mean the X3 will be coming out today too? *drool*

250 miligrams of what?
13. Maj wrote on September 10, 2009
guys anyone noticed in the specs that it’s going to come with cupcake and not donut and that the release date is beyond Q4. In other words, we’re not getting “Donut” any time soon
14. Brian wrote on September 10, 2009
I may be too hopeful, but maybe Motorola just listed 1.5 in the specs because they aren’t privvy to Google’s release schedule and don’t want to over promise and under deliver. But maybe I’m too optimistic and naive.

Okay, Rob. You’ve got to be the hardest working Android journalist. Thank you for the excellent work in bringing the excitement to those of us tethered to boring day jobs ! Rock on …

@glyco…you were whining about the same garbage in 2 articles. You were obviously confused and apparently have some sort of reading disability. I’m not mad at you for calling me a dick…you probably forgot to take your meds (My guess…a tween on Ritalin).

I dont understand all the fuzz about Click. The phone doesnt bring anything new compared to Hero or Magic. Its better than G1 only
