Motorola u9 review - Motorola Bloggo News 2010!

Verizon Wireless has finally ended the rumors, finally confirming the launch of the new Motorola Droid X (not Shadow or Xtreme how the rumors were claiming). The Droid X has appeared in the official Verizon website with the image above that features a “coming soon” sentence.

Some of the confirmed technical specifications are the 4.3″ display, HDMI output, 720p display, which means either a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels or the ability of playing and recording 720p videos. We don’t know yet.

More information will come after June 23rd, which is the launch date for the new Motorola phone.

It was previously known as Motorola Twist, then with the official name: Motorola FlipOut, and if you’ve doubted the existence of this phone, now Motorola has officially confirmed it. It should be available in Europe from this month on.

Thought for younger users, the FlipOut has Android 2.1 and MotoBlur. The device weighs 120g and has a full QWERTY keyboard. It has many applications for social networking such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and so on. The display is a 2.8″ QVGA touchscreen, and it also features Wi-Fi, A-GPS, eCompass, CrystalTalk PLUS, WebKit browser with Flash, 3.5mm jack, 3 Megapixel photocamera, 512 MB internal memory and 2GB with a memory card.

The price hasn’t been announced yet, but it’ll be available in many colors as well.

The picture above should be for the new Motorola Shadow, an Android smartphone that was thought to become the new Nexus Two, but now it seems it’ll be the next Droid / Milestone model.

Also present is an HDMI port in order to connect the phone to a monitor or TV. We don’t know much else, but we’ll be tuned.

We hope to see more of it soon.

Only a few days after its international launch, the Motorola Droid (Milestone in Europe) has won its first “award”: the first place on The Times’s Top 10 Everything of 2009.

The explanation given by The Times to justify the choice is very clear: Android pleases everyone, but a good OS for a smartphone isn’t satisfying if not supported by a more than decent smartphone. In this case, it seems the Droid is the right one.

The first Motorola Android device seems to be going the right way, then, and we hope that the next projects will be as well: Sholes, Opus One and LaJolla.
