Honestly, you sit around waiting for one Motorola tablet and a few drop into your lap at once. SlashGear reader Dion flagged up three new Motorola devices seemingly headed for the Chinese market, including one which looks to be the touchscreen handset formerly known as the Sholes: the Motorola XT701, the MT710 and finally the XT800. All three run Android and have sizeable 3.7-inch 854 x 480 displays like the Motorola DROID. Read The Full Story

Chris Davies, Dec 4th 2009 Discuss [0]

From a (fake) Motorola to another supposed Android Motorola handset. According to Androidin this is the China Unicom XT701, made by Motorola and similar in design to what we're expecting the Sholes to look like. They're saying the handset has a 3.7-inch touchscreen, no hardware keyboard, Android 2.1 and a 5-megapixel camera, a few megapixels down on the 8MP shooter we've heard will be on the Sholes.

Motorola Sholes images leak: HDMI, 8MP camera and Android

Chris Davies, Dec 2nd 2009 Discuss [1]

It feels like rumors about the Motorola Sholes have been around forever, but the mysterious Android-based slate looks to be finally emerging from the geeky shadows. Mobile01 have acquired some images of the device, though not a full shot, together with some specifications: apparently the Sholes will have a 3.7-inch 854 x 480 touchscreen (just like the DROID) together with an 8-megapixel autofocus camera with Xenon flash and - in a first for an Android smartphone - an HDMI output.

Chris Davies, Oct 19th 2009 Discuss [1]

With Verizon's ad campaign for the Motorola Droid kicking off in earnest over the weekend, and a launch date of October 30th tipped, it comes as little surprise to see a pre-production handset arrive over at the BGR. They're mightily impressed, too, calling the Droid "the fastest Android device we've ever used" courtesy of its TI OMAP3430 chipset, branding its capacitive display "awesome" and "huge", and concluding that it's "the Android device to beat".

Chris Davies, Oct 18th 2009 Discuss [4]

Verizon have launched an offensive against the iPhone, with a new campaign called DroidDoes.com for their upcoming Motorola Droid Android smartphone. The handset, previously known by its codenames of Tao and Sholes, is being promoted as offering everything the iPhone eschews: an open development platform, the ability to run background processes, a flexible, open App Store and replaceable batteries, among other things. Verizon have also set up a countdown timer which suggests that the Motorola Droid will arrive on October 30th 2009. Read The Full Story

Chris Davies, Oct 14th 2009 Discuss [9]

If there's one thing we like, it's leaky phone companies and their prematurely-exposed wares. The Boy Genius Report seem to have had their fair share of Motorola Sholes images lately, and there's another three new images - including the crisp shot you see here - to tempt us. According to the phone's "About" screen, the handset will have official name Motorola Droid. Read The Full Story

Motorola Tao leaks again: Switched on & looking slick

Chris Davies, Oct 1st 2009 Discuss [0]

After yesterday's extreme Motorola Tao close-ups, now comes a slightly more useful image of the phone that confirms the form-factor we've seen leaked previously. While there are no shots of the keyboard extended, this new picture does at least show the touch-sensitive buttons and metal screen bezel. Read The Full Story

Motorola Tao (aka Sholes) caught in wild: “super slim” and all metal

Chris Davies, Sep 30th 2009 Discuss [0]

You probably can't tell from this photo, but you're supposedly looking at a pre-release Motorola Tao - aka the Motorola Sholes - that's fallen into the hands of someone over at HowardForums. They've been posting various shots, though nothing that shows the full hardware at present, but certainly enough to keep us interested. Read The Full Story

Motorola Has An Announcement to Make on September 10

Evan Selleck, Aug 25th 2009 Discuss [0]

September is a pretty huge month this year, from Apple to Microsoft, and it looks like Motorola is happy to get on the announcement train. Unfortunately for us, we don't have much to go on, with the exception of a little Android making an appearance on the invitation. So, we're thinking it has something to do with the Motorola Sholes and the Morrison. Read The Full Story

Verizon roadmap leak tips Sholes in October, Curve 2 in November

Chris Davies, Aug 24th 2009 Discuss [0]

Nothing like a leaked carrier roadmap to whet the upgrade appetite, and going by the Boy Genius Reports' slice of Verizon's not-too-distant future there'll be plenty of CDMA handsets on offer to those bored with their current phone. As well as a fair sized dollop of BlackBerry detail, there's also a splash of Android and some feature-phones to be had too. Read The Full Story

Samsung Instinct Q Finally Pictured

Evan Selleck, Aug 19th 2009 Discuss [0]

Android phones are coming out all over the place, ranging from the basic Android device, all the way up to HTC's Sense UI, which made us all take a second look at what Android was capable of. And we're happy to see the open source Operating System (OS) getting some of the lime-light, especially so quickly. And while HTC has beem the main proponent to Android's availability on the market, other manufacturers are quickly clamoring to get their piece of the pie. Motorola has two handsets reportedly coming out, the Verizon-bound Sholes (or Shules, whichever you think doesn't sound ridiculous when you say it aloud), and the T-Mobile Morrison, which is a lower-end device. And Samsung had already inroduced the i7500 (or Galaxy), but it looks like they're not finished yet. Here, we finally introduce the Samsung Instinct Q. Read The Full Story
