BTW, that ‘Motus’ handset looks like the A555 ‘Calgary’, that’s been seen in ‘leaked pics’…

…and in the recent ‘Cellebrite’ in-store DB.:

Meanwhile, undoubtedly, ‘QS’ = Qwerty Slider and ‘T’ = Tablet…meaning a flat, ’2D’ form factor yet not the more common ‘candy bar’ type. Maybe ‘RC’ refers to Calgary’s odd (etched?) keypad, shown in those pics?

Just a friendly correction: it should say “HORDE.” Hoard has a different meaning.

Is anyone seeing any photos?
Ever since the outage you guys had, I’m not seeing any images in your posts. The link seems to be correct, http://phandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/sholes-tablet.JPG, yet the image doesn’t show up.

It looks like there is pricing information on the chart as well. Just under £200 for the Morrison and £275 for the Sholes.

“720p video via (can’t read it)” = 720p video via HDMI

Hmm, the site is loading fine again for me, except for pictures. Most of the photos attached to these posts are unavailable, and I’ve tried multiple browsers. Fix please?

The tags by the phones probably indicate what they are “QS” – QWERTY Slider, “T” – Touch, “RC” – you got me; release canidate, really crappy?

The part you couldn’t read is definately “HDMI”

There isn’t much more on here though, still shows Sholes as October release, but this is also just a road map.

I think you’re on the right road here, the “tablet” definition may be just referring to the fact that it has a software qwerty, not a slide out. That makes sense. But they can add video to the Sholes phone, why call it a tablet if the only difference is no hard keyboard? Interesting.

Yeah, I don’t get it. I could see it being a touch only version, but considering the better camera and HDMI out(I’m pretty sure that’s what you couldn’t read) they aren’t really the same product. I guess maybe they were being developed side-by-side so the project code name is the same?
