We already wrote about it in the news, it was thought that this device is in an unusual form factor with the halves of the QWERTY-keyboard, slide out from both sides of the display. Then, too, was the image, although not particularly clear. In the new image-layout created, it is obvious from the description, construction MOTOSPLIT somewhat different. The device is equipped with a touch screen keyboard, slide out in different directions. Moreover, the buttons may have different functions depending on the applications you use (respectively, the change and refer to them). That is, it can be both digital and QWERTY-keyboard.

We still receive a portion of photos of new models of mobile phones, which have not yet been officially announced. At this time, “participation” suffered news from Motorola: Motorola MT710 and Motorola XT800

Unfortunately, as we have not once mentioned in such cases, except the photographs or other information on the above described telephone – no. Is it possible to say, if judged by the same photographs that the models are based on operating system Android, have a touch screen and 5 megapixel camera.

Verizon probably knew what they were doing when they made their bet on Motorola Droid. The device sold over 100,000 units the weekend it was available. Not too bad!

A very interesting article at AdAge describing the big marketing campaign that brought to the success of the Droid.

“Droid owes much of its success to its mega-advertising spending, estimated to be at least $85 million, the biggest launch ever by its carrier. But it also received good early buzz by getting its phone into the right hands, enough to earn accolades even from rivals. “Based on the chatter and all the people talking about the device, they did an excellent job, going far and broad with the seeding of the device,” said a PR executive who declined to be named because her client is a competitor to Motorola (which designed the Droid’s hardware). “

Same success stated by eXpansys, which is selling the Motorola Milestone (UK version of the Droid), well, at least sold it for 2.5 hours…

“The demand for the Motorola Milestone has been staggering. We received the units at 10am on Thursday, 2.5 hours later we had sold out. A second shipment is already on the way and should be arriving in time for Christmas orders”.

The much anticipated and discussed Motorola MILESTONE is already available in the UK for 450 pounds. But the Christmas shopping choice is limited, because eXpansys UK hold the MILESTONE exclusivity until the end of the year.

Motorola’s biggest hope is already available in the UK and can be yours SIM-free for 450 pounds. Of course you can also opt for a subsidizing T-Mobile contract.

If you need a memory refresh, the MILESTONE is the European version of the USA DROID. It’s the same Android 2.0 running touchscreen slider packing high-res 3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen, full QWERTY sliding keyboard, all-round connectivity, 5 megapixel camera, fast ARM Cortex A8 processor and all that comes in only 13.7mm thickness, which makes the MILESTONE probably the slimmest side-sliding QWERTY phone to date.

Well, there is only one difference with its DROID sibling and that is the multi-touch support. The MILESTONE is capable of all that fancy pinching gestures, well known from the iPhone.

Sprint has officially announced the forthcoming release of the Motorola Clutch i465 for its Nextel network.
