  • Motorola's VE75 slider invades China

    Filed under: Handsets , Motorola , Linux , GSM , EDGE Nothing says "I love you" like sending every single one of your hot new handset models your way, and that's pretty much the beautiful romance that's going on between Moto and China as of late. The A1600 , A1800 , and A810 have all induced various levels of lust from outsiders who can't get their paws on 'em (not yet, anyway), and now we've got another little bundle of Linux-powered joy to drool over, the VE75 slider. It'll happily swallow a pair of SIMs (as so many Asian market handsets tend to do) and offers EDGE data, a 2 megapixel camera, WQVGA display, and microSD slot. It'll be available -- and we use the term "available" loosely until a more global announcement is made -- in black and white. [Via Unwired View ] Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

  • Motorola A810 gets official in MING series' shadow

    Filed under: Handsets , Motorola , Linux , GSM The new A1600 and A1800 out of Moto's touchy MING series have already been fully outed, but it turns out Moto wants to bundle a third touchscreen Linux piece in there to make a complete set: the A810, which goes to retail without that MING name attached. In the press release, Motorola comes right out and calls it "entry-level" -- and considering that the 2 megapixel camera and polarizing styling fall well short of the more elegant, luxuriously appointed MINGs, that's no big shocker. It's available in black and white, features an integrated 3.5mm headphone jack, and is available now in Chinese retailers. Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

  • Tranzda shows four Linux smartphones -- GSM or CDMA, your choice

    Filed under: Handsets , Others , Linux , GSM , EDGE , CDMA Tranzda is starting to step up its game and really push its Newplus Linux stack in earnest, debuting four new models on its site -- plus a fifth, the T818, that it's being a little more secretive about. The TGP-369, TFX-326, TGP-802, and TFX-320 cover both the CDMA and GSM bases, and include some notable features like a fingerprint scanner on the 802, GPS, and RFID capability on certain models. In terms of appearance, all of the shown models seem to be modest upgrades from the Newplus-powered PM328 we've seen in the past, though the UI still looks like it could use a little more work.

  • Motorola A1800 live on Motorola's Chinese site

    Filed under: Handsets , Motorola , Linux , GSM , CDMA One-half of Motorola's refreshed MING line over in China, the A1800 , has made its official entrance. Like the A1600 and the original A1200, the A1800's main claims to fame are a Linux-based operating system, full touchscreen, and a trick translucent flip that doubles as an earpiece. Where the phone does one better than its siblings, though, is with support for both CDMA and GSM networks -- albeit with nothing more than 1xRTT and GPRS data, respectively. Other goodies include a 3 megapixel autofocus cam, GPS, and big, heapin' scoops of envy from the rest of the world's citizenry. [Via Boy Genius Report ] Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

  • Why wait for the launch? Motorola MING 2 being sold in China

    Filed under: Handsets , Motorola , Linux , GSM First seen last year and rumored for a Q2 '08 release , it seems like some impatient individuals in the Far East (where the handset is presumably made) decided to take matters into their own hands and have a little "launch" of their own, if you will, with a prototype unit that fell just a little too far from the manufacturing facility's tree. Unwired View turned up this A1600 MING 2 for sale in Shenzen, China, offering a fabulous glimpse at the Linux-based MING successor; turns out she sports WiFi, a 3.2 megapixel camera, and integrated GPS. Add world-band HSDPA, Motorola, and our money is yours. Honest. Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

  • Motorola's Linux-based Ming 2 in Q2

    Filed under: Handsets , Motorola , Linux , GSM , EDGE According to Bill Chen, General Manager of Motorola Taiwan's Mobile Device business, the second generation Linux-based Ming handset won't launch until Q2 of 2008. Not February as initially rumored . What's more, the handset will be introduced in high-end and entry-level configurations -- unfortunately, both are GSM/EDGE, not 3G capable. DigiTimes says that Inventec won the manufacturing contract of MOTO Beijing designed handset. Given the unusual (for MOTO) use of a vowel in the name, there's a good chance this was never meant for Stateside consumption anyway. Too bad, eh?
