Ive been researching.. this phone is the Motorola CLIQ being released for T-Mobile November 11th according to PhoneArena. It is better than the g1. I sh*t you not, go and look it up yourself.

I agree this picture matches with the blue and white version on many sites that was criticized for its blue and white color scheme. Maybe this is the real one after all as you say. It looks much better.

This phone and the Morrison are the same. Compare the images and you will see!

So we already do have the specs of it (from androidandme.com) :

* CPU: Qualcomm MSM7201A 528 MHz
* Memory: 256MB RAM
* Flash Rom: 512 MB
* Memory Card Type: microSDHC, Class 6, 32 GB supported (max)
* Display: 320×480 (HVGA)
* Accelerometer: 3-axis, Four-way screen rotation
* Magnetometer
* Proximity Sensor
* Ambient Light Sensor
* Voice Bands: GSM 850/900/1800/1900, W-CDMA 900/(1700 or 1900)/2100
* Wireless Lan: 802.11 b/g, WEP, WPA, 802.11i (WPA2)
* Bluetooth Version: 2.0 + EDR
* Bluetooth Profiles: A2DP, AVRCP, GAP, HFP 1.5, HSP, SDAP, SPP
* USB: USB 2.0 High Speed, Micro USB connector
* Headset Jack: 3.5mm, Stereo out, Mic
* Camera Resolution: 5 megapixels
* Image Capture Resolution (max): 2560×1920
* Camera Features: Autofocus, White Balance, Geotagging, Color Effects
* Camera Digital Zoom (max): 5.4x
* Video Recording Resolution: 320×240 (QVGA)
* Video Recording Frame Rate: 25 fps
* Location Services: Standalone GPS w/ internal antenna, Assisted GPS, E-Compass
* Email Protocols: POP3, IMAP4, Exchange ActiveSync
* Email Attachment Support: QuickOffice v2 Viewer formats

It has at least better memory than the G1 and a better camera too, and “Android and Me” says it has advantages over the My Touch 3G.

I read that a Moto insider says this is the later version of the phone, the blue ones were early prototypes (and like you, people thought the were too teen-ish).

This does not look good for the G1, why they picked motorola for the phone i have not the slightest clue.. but Motorola SUCKS plain and simple. My wife successfully killed 4 of them from dropping it while i had my first Dash. (HTC Excaliber) I dropped my dash hundreds of times and it never gave me a problem other than the usual minor issues that the dash already had. This is a sad day in the mobile phone world.

Any chance that the G1v2 and Bigfoot are completely different devices?? one seems more rounded and the other a bit more squared off. . .

the new G1 will be all touchscreen and made by HTC. I have seen pictures. I am trying to get them right now.

boygenius, you are really genius! this is a perfect social experiment on the effects of branding … the marketing dept of moto really needs to target *cough* the kids *cough* that read your blog.

Motorola has always made great hardware – reception is good, the hardware is rugged, the cameras are decent, and they’ve got good blutooth.

Now if they could just get a decent design (like this one), they may have a winner.

I’d also like to see a Window Mobile variant.

I’ll br happy with an HTC Touch Pro 2 with Android loaded, as soon as TOMTOM or another relase a decent GPS for it.

LOL at all the Moto hate, especially for the Sidekick Slide. Face it chumps, the Sidekick Slide was infinitely better than the original Sidekick LX (which also launched at the same time). Faster processor, double the RAM, louder speaker, and wasn’t the size of a brick. It actually outsold the Sidekick 2 & 3 put together in some countries like the UK and Australia.

I hate that people assume that it wasn’t a good phone just because MOTO made the hardware. I guarantee most of those people never even used one.

I rock a G1 right now, so it’ll be interesting to see how this device ends up.

I don’t get it! Why are you blaiming Moto for everythink.Please remember that it was first in 2003. Motorola has some amazing devices and this device , which is really cool , is the first step to rise again to the top. Also they could make devices ten times better than Samsung’s. Why can’t you people recognize this efford? Motorola is still alive and weell, preparing to launch some amazing Android devices!!!!

This is good news. Hopefully Motorola can make a successful break into the smartphone market. I’m so tired of HTC made garbage.

Well, guess that removes my interest. I don’t want anything Moto, I am satisfied with my HTC G1 anyway.

Hell, yeah, I care! I love Motorola phones- they’ve always worked beautifully for me and the one piece o’ crap HTC phone I bought ended up being returned within days when I realized that I would have to charge the damn thing twice a day! I can’t believe what crappy phones HTC make and yet T-Mobile, knowing all about the “known issues” related to them, continued selling them.

There are other sites that are saying that the G1v2 is by Samsung.

The one they’re showing matches the original picture of the G1v2 that we got on the android road map.

I’m thinking this moto device is completely different.

Did someone seriously wish this was a Samsung? God, Samsung makes some of the worst electronics in the world. They are completely unreliable, built extremely cheap, buggy, you name it. And I’m not just talking about phones. I’ve had a Samsung MP3 player, worked with Samsung cameras, cell phones… I’m at the point in my life where the only thing I’ll ever consider buying and or using with the name Samsung on it is an LCD TV. I’ve been happy with THAT purchase, at least. Not that I’m saying most Motorola phones over the last few years aren’t awful, but they have had some good ones. I have a ZINE that I love and have had no problems with. I wish someone would take the camera out of it and put it on an Android phone… hmmm… Maybe it’ll be on this thing?
