The company is also mum on price, but coupled with the news that Sprint will be slimming the Pre's entry point down to $149.99, we have to assume it's going to be in the $99-or-less ballpark.

AFAIK that price is on a 2year contract deal. Am not 100% sure though.

Motorola Announce their 1st Android phone: http://www.gsmarena.com/motor[....]with_motoblur_ui-news-1116.php apparently around $400 or ?200 without a contract if i read correctly, looking realy good: 5pm cam with 320x480 @24fps vid recording, GPS, 3.1" inch HVGA (320x480) screen, with MOTO's new MOTOBLUR UI on top of Android 1.5 Cupcake. i hope its that cheap when it gets here.

Amazing how it has grown, from just one phone (HTC Dream) a year ago and now they are just flooding the market, think i want an Android to, problem is which one to go for and price. Id like to see another Android with the Dreams form factor, to me thats the perfect combo, with a 3.5mm jack, and a 3.2mp AF camera and id be happy.

Nice Android announcements by Motorola but why did they have focus so much on social networking...if it's something I want on my phone I'll just download an appropriate app...no need to reinvent the wheel and call it MOTOBLUR.
But I do wish them good luck, this is probably the final throw of the dice for their mobile division. Failure means they could end up like Siemens, Bosch and a host of other companies forced to write off their mobile divisions.

Great news about the Boks.. So proud! Well I updated my firmware to v30.011 after a few resets because my usb disconnected for some reason or another! Well no major improvements and I still cant install any .sis files... Keep getting the file corrupted error...

Doesn't look like the local cops have been too badly impacted by the recession, judging by some of their cars, LOL:
