Sure, we'd heard tell of a Motorola Sage and briefly posited that the 850 / 1900MHz Android device could be AT&T's followup to the Backflip, but bless our bluetooth and count our digital compasses if this isn't it. Ubergizmo obtained this shot of a Motorola device that's a dead ringer for the aforementioned horizontal clamshell, complete with the huge trackpad (mounted on the front this time) and 3.1-inch screen. Mr. Blurrycam reportedly says it will sport Android 2.1 and a hardware keyboard as well, though from this angle there's no telling where Motorola might have stuck the QWERTY in, on or around the silver-trimmed shell. Portrait slider, anyone? [Thanks, Calob]
whtf is that thing in the middle????
@TheSunman89 I think that's a huge trackpad.
@TheSunman89
Don't be scared of it, that "thing" is what makes you a man (or a woman for that matter).
@ok old news again
minimum requirements? My Evo doesn't have that crap
@ok old news again Funny cause I can name dozens of phones without one that run Android.
If you're gonna troll and try to talk down to Android, at least know what you're talking about.
@TheSunman89
Need to stop launching these auto-fail Android devices AT&T.... you're making the platform look bad, the Aria was enough, FFS.
More Galaxy S types or GTFO...
@Plazmic Flame
Um...the aria is a very good phone.
You're free to try again though.
@TheSunman89 wtf is that entire thing. it's like they made the hardware uglier so that Blur would look better in compariso
@ok old news again
Aren't there plenty of KIRFs that run android without a trackpad no problem?
@ok old news again
Guys look at this dude's past comments, and you will see exactly why he so annoying.
@TheSunman89 I thought Microsoft solved the world's problems with blurry pictures... so much for integrating new technology
@ok old news again
i do love me some 1 day old engadget trolls. what was the previous name you were banned under?
@seeloesix I believe the cycle went "android looks hacked together" -> "ok ok i only thought fanboys bought i" -> "ok android is so ugly its fun" -> "ok old news again"... or something like that. I thought three bans = IP address ban.
@TheSunman89 Motorola needs to stop making Android look so fucking lame with their ugly as shit Motoblur crapware. It doesn't add a single feature to the device that isn't already baked into the OS. Why won't these fucking suits realize that 99% of people would prefer a clean experience and that you don't HAVE to have different software just to separate yourself in the market. Make a spectacular phone and the customers will come to you. Nobody is buying the Galaxy S phones for the TouchWiz interface.
@Wjackson25 The evo has arrows on the keyboard, I personally think it's useful sometimes for android since touch is so innacrate that it's easier to select a link and click if, but yah good choice by htc on that one, makes the phone look better
@TheSunman89 I was gonna say that's a lot of wasted space
@ok old news again
Oh hey look, its that troll again who doesn't have a clue what he's talking about 99.9% of the time... Sounds to me like you're just angry because you can't afford these sexy smartphones, maybe if you spent more time looking for a job rather than trolling Engadget while sitting in mommy's basement, you'd actually be able to afford one.
Seriously, get a life.
@ok old news again stop being so negative u cold hearted morator
@seeloesix you're looking for ok ok only apple fanboys bought i and
ok android is so ugly it's fun
Is that stock Froyo?
@VAVA Mk 2 Looks like its running motoblur.
@codenamepenryn
Lol, fail. motoblur =/= OS
@AdhesiveWombat
No but it is a skin which people consider. A lot of us prefer Sense or stock Froyo over Moto skin.
@VAVA Mk 2 Obiously that is motoblur, you'd have to be an idiot not to see that, I am mostly referring to the people under you who say "i think..."
is that a huge touchpad??
@serge
No a fingerprint-reader, so you can safely lock your phone.
sage goes in all fields
What that in the middle under screen??
@HellFlyer
Well, it's definitely not a trackpad...
i dont know which phone is less enticing. this or the blackberry torch?
@WillSmith
Nah it's clearly the iphone 4 that is least exciting. Or Maybe the Samsung Captivate, that's pretty dull but not as dull as the Evo 4G. Whew what a stinker. But not as smelly as Moto Droid!
@WillSmith How about neither?
@bleep
Stop putting ur phones up there!
Is it so damn hard to take a minute and take a normal picture?
@Sil Seriously, it's not hard, unless they have Parkinsons of course. But still, or unstill as the case may be.
Motorola should go back to making RAZRs. I suppose aside from the droid line, they're making some UGLY phones.
@DakotaDAllen Droid line is the ugly phones they are known for what are you talking about? Razr sucks, but was good for it's time
sage this shit
mr blurrycam needs a new camera
Dear Motorola,
More vanilla Droids and less Blur handsets.
KTHNXBAI
That thing in the middle? uhh..
ANother underpowered Android phone for ATT from Moto...
Mr. Blurrycam sees motoblur. Mr. Blurrycam doesn't want motoblur. Mr. Blurrycam wants stock android. But nobody listens to Mr. Blurrycam until the official annoucment when it's too late. Mr. Blurrycam is looking for some respect around here. Mr. Blurrycam fells left out with all this cameras that aren't blurry. Mr. Blurrycam is felling :(.
I'll ask again, just how hard is it to quickly snap a decent photo?
@Waltah This must have been shot with hipstamatic or vignette!
Are the writers at Engadget still so stupid as to refer to a hardware keyboard as a "QWERTY" keyboard? The virtual keyboards are QWERTY keyboards too, ya dumb-assess.
Sage? You'd look like a dumb ass using this thing!
I would much prefer a Motorola Bump.
Sorry.
Had to.
motoblur needs to be destroyed.
Ugly don't release tha moto blur crap and wack hardware ugh looks late
