    Motorola’s shiny XT800 shows off its Android

    Could this end up being the prettiest Android device to date? We don't want to call it before we have it in our own two hands, but China Telecom's likely entrant from Motorola -- the XT800 -- is looking better than ever in these live action shots unearthed by Chinese site tgbus. What's interesting here is that Moto's reusing the font first seen on the Droid's dock standby screen for a new home screen date / time widget, but the old-school Power Control widget below it has us believing that we're looking at an older Android 2.0 build (or heck, who knows, 1.5 or 1.6). It'll apparently have a 3.7-inch WVGA display with 720p playback and, as we've mentioned before, an HDMI-out for some serious multimedia street cred. It's still unclear whether this is being thrown around internally as the Titanium, Zeppelin, or something else entirely, but whatever -- Verizon, Sprint, bring it on over, alright?

  • Motorola Zeppelin outed as the XT800 for China Telecom — US getting it, too?

    Motorola Zeppelin outed as the XT800 for China Telecom — US getting it, too?

    Even though Motorola's only officially announced a small handful of devices that run Android so far, this much is clear -- the company was dead serious about going all-in on the platform because we're seeing new leaked hardware practically every time we look. This time around, it's a clearer view of the Zeppelin, which turns out to be coming to market on China Telecom as the XT800. It looks like it could be a sharp-looking handset, borrowing design elements of the Instinct HD and featuring both GSM and CDMA radios for compliance with Telecom's up-and-coming 3G network. What makes this juicier, though, is the fact that QQ.com alternately identifies the Zeppelin as the Titanium, a device we'd just seen in the FCC with EV-DO Rev. A last week. That leads us to believe we could see this bad boy on Sprint or Verizon in the near future -- and with an HDMI output in this thing, 2010 is shaping up to be a great year for high-end Android gear.

    Motorola Titanium: what is it?

    Posted on December 11, 2009 | No Comments
    So we're aware of a few Motorola codenames right now: Sholes Tablet, Motus, Zeppelin. One we haven't heard, though, is Titanium -- so when we found a so-labeled device in the FCC today, our interest was particularly piqued. Everything about this device (whatever it is) leads us to believe that it's destined for either Sprint or Verizon thanks to EV-DO Rev. A, and it's more than likely an Android-powered smartphone since it's got WiFi and Moto isn't doing much in the way of WinMo phones these days. Any clever ideas, conspiracies, or debunks?
