Motorola Morrison slides through FCC, AWS on board
Everyone is waiting for Motorola to finally start dealing a few Android-powered handsets and it looks like we’re now a big step closer to seeing one of its first offerings. Hardly the most interesting Moto/Android phone we’ve been privy to, the Morrison is shaping up to be a budget-friendly Android phone aimed at the younger, message-hungry tweenish demo. Apparently this little guy’s guts are sound as the FCC has just cleared it for takeoff, though we still don’t know when Moto will finally push it out. Known specs include quad-band GSM, tri-band 3G (including AWS/1700MHz for T-Mobile), a camera with video capture support, stereo Bluetooth, multimedia player and voice control. We’ve already commented on how much we love the color scheme but even that likely won’t be enough to hold our attention for more than a few hours at best. We’re not worried though, and you shouldn’t be either — trust, Moto has some sexy Android kit coming down the pipe in the near future.
Thanks, William!
Peter martin? Are you the new guy?
MOTOROLA SHOLES please.
Sholes is Sleek, Sexy and Superior
Shole is definitely lookin pretty sweet, it looks a lot like a render BGR had up a while ago, although I can’t remember what the name of it was. Calgery maybe? If it is real count me in, I’ve been waiting for some android freshness for verizon since the G1 dropped last year!
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeew
WTF is this?
Motorola has whiffed time and time again, I’m surprised they are still around. I am sure they have nothing worthy coming down the pipe.

Tri-band 3G? T-Mobile requires 1700/2100, so what would the last one be? 900 for better European support?
I think it looks alot like the device recently released on Verizon. Just can’t think of the name right now.
@Vic
Yes. There was some news that in Europe, 900MHz will soon be able to be used as a 3G band, so this would give it more connectivity options in Europe once they go ahead with that initiative.
I’d rather take the Mini N97.
Fugly device. Looks toy-ish too.
If anything it could be a good gaming phone. The D-pad’s on the right side
I’m praying every night for different color options. I’m not even giving this thing a chance with that mock up. It looks like it should be called ‘My First Android Device.’
hot looking device!!
Toursux = MotoMania. Aka, an idiotic moto Fanboy who comes rambling with total nonsense. He’s basically an Apple FanBoy, but for Motorola. Aside from that, bring on the Sholes!
