Updated Specs!! i am curious, why does it say qwerty for keyboard? Hmm and Safari as the browser?

Just because it says QWERTY doesn't mean that it will be a physical QWERTY.. I've seen this before on candybar touch phones. The Safari did throw me off at first but I realized it must be something within the name of the WebKit browser, since Safari is also WebKit..

No disrespect taken, . The only information i have is actually having the phone and currently typing this message with it. I have no reason to believe the processor in this phone will be different at launch unless quadrant is giving me the wrong processor. My bets on the 3640

Well I guess Htc came out with the diamond2 and Touch Pro2 one had keyboard and one had a better camera but other than that they were the same so i guess Motorola could be doing the same thing.

If it does have a 4.3" screen I think I am going to pass. I played with an Evo and IMO it is just a touch too big to comfortably hold and navigate one handed. I was hoping for the 4.1". May consider the Samsung Galaxy S again if the screen size on the X is true.

Yeah, after i wrote that i figured they meant like text input on the physical keyboard was qwerty, the 4.3 inch screen is kinda huge though, i was hoping for a 4.1. Ah well, my phones are all dying on me now anyway.....

This phone better be available by July 29th! I'm using a crappy Lg 8100 because I dropped my beloved Eris. Its torture not having my little android to play with!





thats what she said!

So its a 3640? Wouldnt that put the proc at 1ghz. Maybe thats why your friend said it was a 1ghz processor? Would also show why it is benchmarking so high?

That could be, but this person said snapdragon but maybe someone told him/her that it was 1Ghz and he/she assumed it was snapdragon. I guess will find out soon enough

A 3000+ poster at HF confirming 1ghz! Must get phone....

Am I correct to assume that July 29th is the date your NE2 agreement cycles? If not, are you suggesting that July 29th is a release date?

 

[jreed2560]

Its my upgrade date yes

 

[BigMace23]

This phone is gonna be AWESOME!!!!!!! 9 more days till official announcement!!!!!

Whoah, whoah, whoah...

Says who???

Until VZW announces something concrete, NOTHING is official..

 

[Flying_Hellfish]

There are rumors that around father's day there will be an announcement. I think most, myself included, are hoping release dates will be talked about at that point and hopefully preorder

 

[jreed2560]

There is an insider on HoFo that is pretty reliable about stuff like this. bill23 I think is his name. but he always talks in code and riddles. His riddle about this implied that there would be some news about this phone on father's day.

 

[Rimzy]

@ibowtoandroid, do you have anymore info? Release date, i hope i have all the specs correct on the first page....

 

[SupremeBeaver]

The more i hear about this phone the more i wish it would come to Europe. Anyway you guys on Verizon should consider yourselves lucky ur getting such an awesome phone. This destroys the EVO as far as im concerned.

 

[iBowToAndroid]

@ibowtoandroid, do you have anymore info? Release date, i hope i have all the specs correct on the first page....

That's it for now- specs look good to me, man.. Might wanna put in the official name though.. I really don't know a whole lot more than any of you as far as official specs or release date- I just know that database is money, and when they put a phone in it, release is usually less than 2 months away. I'll definitely keep ya posted

 

[Lewey22B]

I'm just waiting for a android phone to come out with a good camera and scope for android updates.
Droid X seems to be fiitting the bill, a Galaxy S rival with flash
Anyone have any idea on Motorola's current camera quality? (IE As a hint hint nudge nudge of the "soon to be released" phone? )

AWESOME! Thanks! I just hope the 4.3" measurement doesn't include the glass part with black plastic under it (aka the part that isn't actually lcd screen). That would be a pretty big fail/let down. That wouldn't be the case, right? *pulls out his gun and sets it on the table* RIGHT?!

 

[Paznos]

Sweet pictures, the best leaked ones so far but they are still saying it has a snapdragon... but it has the 3630(most likely this) or 3640 clocked at 1Ghz at least that's what I'm gathering based off what insiders at howards have been saying.
