Motorola Android Opus One iDEN Android Phone Stolen and Video’d!
It looks like Motorola (NYSE: MOT) (NYSE: MOT) really does have an iDEN-based Android phone in the works for Sprint (NYSE: S) (NYSE: S)’s Nextel network. Following on a leaked image of the device codenamed “Opus One,” we’ve stumbled upon a new set of hands-on videos that shows off Nextel’s upcoming Android phone in some detail – as much detail as the blur-tasticly choppy video work allows. YouTube user jay84305 apparently snatched the unreleased Android phone off the street somewhere in Florida’s South Beach and posted a trio of videos today, walking us through the Opus One’s push-to-talk features, video camera, Android apps, and other details in the kind of broken, slang-punctuated English befitting someone that would steal a phone from right underneath the owner’s nose.
Here’s what we know about the Motorola Opus One Android phone:
- It’s headed to Nextel (and possibly Boost Mobile)
- It runs Android 1.5 OS (Cupcake)
- It sports the “p1_opusone” model name under its battery cover.

Following up: A month with Verizon’s Droid
Rob Pegoraro from the Washington Post has an update on his Droid review. Here are some of his points:
* Motorola didn’t build the sturdiest phone ever. As you can see in the photo, the paint on the top edge of the Droid has already begun to wear off from sharing the occasional pocket with change or car keys — a treatment that has yet to inflict any scratches on the iPhones Apple has loaned for my reviews. I’ve also noticed that the Droid’s battery cover slides off too easily.
* The Droid’s slide-out keyboard feels a little too spread out and too flat for fast thumb-typing, compared with the models on such competing Android phones as Sprint’s Samsung Moment or T-Mobile’s Motorola Blur. This has been the No. 1 complaint I’ve received from readers about this phone.
* The Droid’s voice-search feature is borderline amazing — it correctly heard me say “directions to Washington National Airport” in a crowded bar — but beware of invoking this option accidentally by holding down its search button.
