Motorola XT701 finally completes Android trio in China, courtesy of Unicom

It's no surprise that the Motorola XT701 (aka Motoroi) was going to land in the hands of China Unicom with its WCDMA radio, but man, that must've been a painful two-and-a-half-month wait for Chinese Motofans. Mind you, considering earlier worries about Google's departure from China, it's better late than never, right? Like its Korean and American counterparts, the XT701 also sports Android 2.0 but boosted with WAPI support -- China's very own WiFI standard. Fork out ¥4,299 or about $630 and this phone's yours.

@JAG According to the linked article in the post, the US should be getting the Motoroi at some point this month.

@Richard Lai -- that was the rumor, but no news since then

@Drybones5 The MOTOROI has been almost exclusively linked to T-Mobile in the US. Engadget had a post in late January about it.

Why does korea get the best Android phones? WHY

[bobomo Posted Mar 6th 2010 5:56PM]

The Korean MOTOROI is the XT720, presumably because it can record 720p video. It looks like the Chinese model has a smaller sensor, as it is listed at 5MP instead of 8MP. I wonder why?

"NIHAO" would have worked better. Come on engadget! Get with the program.
