The phone known as the Motorola Opus One is going to be named the Boost Mobile i1. The i1 was recently spotted on the FCC web site and is expected to be announced during CTIA later this month.
Motorola is aiming for the low end and the i1 might be the lowest priced Android device at launch. Look for this phone to debut under $300.

The Motorola Droid has received the Gadget of the Year award from both the readers and editors over at Engadget. The Droid went on to earn the smart phone of the year award from the readers as well.

Motorola Milestone gets Android 2.0.1 Update
French Motorola Milestone owners have recently gotten the Android 2.0.1 update.
Apparently, the latest upgrade significantly enhances the camera (auto-focus and speed), Microsoft Exchange support, touch gestures, three-way call connectivity and in-call audio quality. Additionally, the company has added an equalizer and a 3D landscape viewing mode for the photo gallery and music player.
Reportedly, according to Motorola Europe’s Facebook Page, Italy should also be getting the Android 2.0.1 update right now, while Germany and the UK will follow shortly.

Motorola Motus AT&T rumor gains momentum
Here is new information that Engadget has on the Motorola Motus:
- The keyboard flips backwards so that it’s facing out when the phone is “closed.” When it’s open, the underside of the keyboard has a trackpad that allows you to scroll the screen while typing with your thumbs (it’s unclear how well this’ll actually work in practice). There’s also a third hinge position that keeps the phone upright — perfect for use as a video display or alarm clock.
- There’s a 5 megapixel cam and LED flash mounted on the keyboard designed to be used as a webcam, but we don’t know whether this’ll function as a traditional 3G video call (we’d doubt it) or over some other service.
- It runs Blur.
- The keys are backlit and said to be “domed” — that’s not really conveyed in this spy shot we’ve seen, but it’s hard to say for sure.
- It’s said to be about three-quarters of an inch thick, “enough to be bulky in your pocket.”
- Our tipster says he thinks he was told it runs Snapdragon, which would run counter to our current intel that has it running the CLIQ’s 528MHz MSM7201A. At any rate, he says it “seemed very responsive,” which is a good sign.
Now here’s the bummer: it wouldn’t be ready until April or May of 2010, which would truly suck if AT&T really intends this to be in its first batch of Android devices.

Motorola MT710 bringing its Droid-ish good looks to China this month
China Mobile is about to spoil its half billion subscribers with yet another Android smartphone in the 3.something-inch category. The Droid’s keyboard-deprived younger sibling, the MT710 is about to hit Chinese stores this month, with TD-SCDMA 3G capabilities and OPhone OS 1.5 giving it a distinctly local flavor.

Motorola Motus is Motorola Backflip?
The Motorola Motus we’ve been hearing about lately might just be renamed the Motorola Backflip – the company recently trademarked the name and with the form factor we’ve been shown, it would make sense. And the leaked specs of the Motus include a “reverse flip keyboard” and “rear directional touchpad”. Yeah… Backflip it is.

Limited Edition Motorola Droid Prototype offered on eBay
If you want to get in on the Android action but fancy a Droid that’s a little bit more standout and different to all the bulk standard Motorola Droids you make want to scoot over to eBay as according to the guys over at engadget, eBay is offering a different type of Motorola Droid.
Apparently the Motorola Droid offered on eBay is a “limited edition,” and a Droid prototype according to the seller. Now this could be an actual Motorola Droid prototype or maybe not, but the seller believes that the handset they are selling is one of only five in existence.
This limited edition prototype Droid does differ in a couple of ways from the run of the norm Motorola Droid such as silver buttons rather than gold, “enhanced LED lighting” on the front buttons, and a chrome bezel rather than the standard black bezel.
Furthermore, apparently this Motorola Droid prototype works fine and is ready for activation. So if you are prepared to go for a bid on this prototype limited edition Motorola Droid, the bidding is currently at $485.

Google Phone By HTC – Early 2010?
Phandroid has joined the Engadget/TechCrunch discussion on the Google Phone. While previously they said there is no chance that Google will have their own branded phone, now they “hoping I have to admit I was wrong all along.”
Here is what one of their sources say about the Google Phone in response toTechCrunch:
- January is optimistic, “first part of the year” would be more accurate
- HTC is definitely making a Google Phone at Google’s request
- Google is assisting and providing input on hardware decisions, but after acknowledging less than perfect hardware decisions on the G1 (which they did dictate) it’s more of a collaborative conversation… with Google merely insisting on certain ideals.
- He can’t confirm/deny LG and Samsung Google Phones but thinks it unlikely at this point
- Could eventually alter the economics of the industry
Guess will have to wait and see…

Date-related Self-correction fixed the Motorola Droid camera autofocus
The autofocus problem was mentioned in Verizon’s 5-page treatise on known issues with the Droid, though the planned resolution was an official update by December 11. Dan Morrill, from Google’s Android team, has confirmed that there’s a date-related bug in the Droid’s camera software that leads to it having cycles of good and bad focus that depend on the date. Apparently, the cycles last 24.5 days, meaning that you’ll have good focus all the way to December 11, when the real fix is expected to drop.
