Motorola seems to be very upbeat about its Android prospects. Of late it has been launching new devices based on Android with regular frequency. The latest devices to be added to Motorola’s Android portfolio happens to be the Spice and the Droid Pro its latest Android phones that have been announced at the CTIA trade show in San Francisco.
Lets now delve in to specs of these devices.
We start with the Spice – which going by the specs seems to be a mid range device directed at business users. The Spice boasts of a large 3.2 inch capacitive touchscreen QVGA display. For a display of this size, the resolution does seem to be somewhat on the lower side. The number crunching bit is handled by a 528 MHz processor. There is a 3.2 megapixel fixed focus camera at the rear for imaging purposes.
It can also capture video. Motorola’s BACKTRACK trackpad makes an appearance at the rear of the device using which users can navigate the menus. Motorola has also added a new application called Flashback, which can be used to view and manage content from a single application. The Spice also has a slide out QWERTY keypad and is visually similar to the Palm Pre. The Spice would be initially available in Brazil. The phone currently runs Android 2.1. We are yet to receive pricing details of this phone.
Next we have the Droid Pro, which is set to be available for Verizon Wireless customers in the US. The Droid Pro also comes with a QWERTY keypad – but is not a slider. The Droid Pro however runs Android 2.2 and comes pre-installed Quick Office and supports full push corporate e-mail with corporate security. It has a slightly smaller screen compared to the Spice – but has better specs overall. The processor for example is clicked at 1GHz. The Droid Pro has a 5 megapixel camera at the rear.
The Droid Pro would be on sale by the end of 2010.
These look seriously hot.
