he Motus has quad-band GSM connectivity and – weird enough – it looks like it also supports the 850/900/1700/1900/2100 MHz WCDMA bands, which means that both AT&T and T-Mobile could launch it.

thats just a mockup of what they would like it to look like if you look closly you’ll see it’s two seperate pieces cause physically that phone could not open that wide the way it sits now nothing is actually holding the 2 halves together except maybe crazy glue it a concept not a real phone. you see alot of the pics rolling around but when the real deal shows up it look nothing like the finished product. for example the htc dream had like 3 different mockups made for the concept of the device but really went with a basic plain jane looking version for production.

Based on Motorola’s ethics I’ll probably get something from Samsung or LG.

Leaked specs make this seem like a super disappointment. I’m two minutes from switching to sprint and getting the hero. Swear to android.

@Larry

I’m not surprised at all by that article, even the so-called subtle differences in ROMs and hardware will continue to cause developers problems with their APPS.

I see feedback in the market all the time for apps that work perfectly on one phone, but on others, they are buggy. And as more phones / custom ROMs are introduced it won’t get any better. OHA and Google need to solve this problem quickly or they will drive developers away from the Android marketplace, especially the smaller ones.

@Larry

No way around it… The windows/linux PC model isn’t pretty, but it works pretty well. Can’t have it both ways. Varying versions of software and old hardware are a fact of life… Developers need to provide meaningful feedback where possible and get used to it.

It’s easier to hide the photochop errors with a “blurry” photo…

It looks like it will be considerably smaller than the cliq with about the same size screen, and it doesn’t look as low-end as the calgary so overall i’d say it looks nice.

Is it still likely that the keyboard will flip backwards?
It looks like that could be the case and it would explain why they made the keyboard so smooth since it would be the back of the device when closed

Early versions of phones are always actually blurry…like sasquatch….just so that leaked photos have less credibility.
