And now the news imply two other important names that are involved in the cell phone realm, and I’m talking about Motorola and Android, the famous Google platform that was so very talked about in the past couple of months.

It’s still a mystery whether Motorola is going to have an Android-based cell phone or not, but there are rumors about the so-called Motorola Heron, also known as Iron Man, that is said to come equipped with the Google operating system. So, if you’re an Android fan, you should know that AT&T is keen on offering you the famous mobile platform.

Maybe you already read (I think it was a month ago or so) about the Heron and the fact that it was prepared to be unveiled, but at the time there weren’t many technical details available. But here we have a full list of features of the Motorola Heron: a large 2.8 inch display with touch sensitive capabilities (it can be used for browsing and viewing media files), a QWERTY keypad that slides, an integrated GPS and assisted GPS, email, such as POP3, IMAP4, Pocket Outlook, Exchange ActiveSync, GMM, a 3 megapixel camera with LED flash, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR Class 2, microUSB 2.0, 256MB Flash, 128MB RAM and a microSD card slot for no more than 32GB of external memory.



The new Motorola cell phone measures 57.5 x 104 x 15.9 millimeters and weighs approximately 125 grams. The AT&T news are completed with a release date that is said to be sometime in November, this year, but it’s not a certain one.

It is not a bad idea for a very successful cell phone to be brought from the dead, especially if the certain phone is expected to still create sensation if it were available in the market. It is not a bad idea if the company knows very well that there’s a real demand coming from the customers concerning the cell phone in discussion. Otherwise, efforts are useless.

This is what happened with the Motorola A1200, which was known as the Motorola Ming phone. It behave better than the company would have expected it to behave when it was released, back in 2006. Yearning for those days, Motorola decided to revive that fever, so it has just unveiled the new Motorola A1200R.

The most important differences between the two handsets consist of the following features that you won’t be able to find withing the old version: widgets (you have easy access to weather information, news and so on), the Microsoft Office document editing, FM radio, business card scanner which is based on OCR technology (also known as Optical Character recognition) and an external memory of 1GB that is included in the package.



The camera and the display are exactly the same: a 2 megapixel camera and a QVGA display with touch sensitive capabilities.

The new Motorola Ming phone has just been announced in Argentina, so chances are very high for it to become available in other countries from Latin America. As for its price, we don’t know how much it will cost you to revive the Ming fever, but we’ll keep you informed.

Motorola W7. Does it ring a bell to you? It should, because it’s a handset that made its debut, if I may say so, through some leaked photos that all of you could see on the Internet a couple of weeks ago. As usual, after a period of time, the device is given the official treatment.

What’s a very nice thing about this one is the fact that it doesn’t look as bad as we thought. The MOTO W7 Active Edition is “designed for those who want a ‘moving’ phone experience”, being equipped with an accelerometer which is able to sense the body motions of the user, the orientation and the hand gestures.

But let’s see what features you can find within this new Motorola slider cell phone. It comes with a built-in pedometer which is designed to count and record the daily walks and runs, an application called Personal Trainer to help you create a personal profile consisting of goals, workout profiles and summary reports, an MP3 player, FM radio, a full screen video viewing, an external memory of 8GB, a 2.0 megapixel camera for still images and a VGA camera with video capabilities.



“For those who are always on the move, the MOTO W7 Active Edition is designed to keep up with the pace”, said Alain Mutricy, who is the Senior Vice President at Motorola Mobile Devices. “The accelerometer technologies put a new spin on the traditional relationship we have with our phone by not only simplifying how you use it, but making it more fun in the process”.

Available in two color versions, Licorice and Alpine White, the W7 Active Motorola slider cell phone is expected to start selling in the second quarter of 2009 in Asia and in Latin America. The price is unknown for the moment.

There were some opinions concerning the new Motorola Clutch, also known as i465, that refered to it as a weird candybar, but it is justified by the the handset’s name. The company presents the phone as the company’s “first device that combines the power of push-to-talk and the convenience of QWERTY”.

In addition, it seems that the i465 comes equipped with a very familiar design, but also with a durability that is similar to the durability of devices that are made after military conditions. This way, it doesn’t matter if you love to write messages or to talk all day and night, ‘cause you’ll be able to enjoy the ultimate experience.

The list of features includes: a 1.79 inch TFT display with a display of 128 x 160 pixels and 64k colors, Bluetooth connectivity, micro USB, a VGA camera with 4x zoom, threaded messaging, MMS, email, a 2.5mm audio jack, and an internal memory of only 20MB.



The phone measures 54 x 112.8 x 14.9 millimeters and weighs 96 grams, while the 1130 mAh battery provides up to 205 minutes of talk time and no more than 100 hours of stand-by time. As for the release, it seems that this is the next Boost Mobile cell phone. Yes, you’re right, Boost Mobile is said to be launching the Motorola Clutch sometime during this quarter, but we don’t know for sure when nor under what price.

If you have ever heard about the W series developed by Motorola, maybe you know that its cell phones were all part of the low-end range, or maybe the mid-end one, and you can easily imagine that the Motorola W7, the newest device to be launched in the W series, couldn’t be an exception from the rule.

The device hasn’t officially been announced by the company, but it was seen in China and it seems that it’s expected to be used with the 3G network that is going to be introduced by China Unicom. The W7 isn’t a spectacular phone as far as the design is concerned, and you don’t have to be a connoisseur to tell this, but if you take into consideration the fact that it is somehow oriented towards the sports fanatics, it’s understandable.

The waterproof cell phone comes with some simple features such as a 2.2 inch QVGA display, a 2 megapixel camera, a secondary camera that is designed to be used for video calls, a music player, FM radio and a microSD card slot for expandable memory.

The information about the pricing and availability is not known for the moment, but we can assume that the W7 will start selling in China, at least, sometimes in May. As for the other countries, we’re waiting for further details.
