Re: New phone coming out... the Motorola Droid

Some additional info on the O2 Milestone (GSM Droid):

- SAR (for those who care) is 0.72 - not great, but pretty good compared to other smartphones
- While it doesn't come with Google Maps Nav, it comes with MotoNav pre-installed. On the O2 website they say it comes with a 8gb Micro-SD card with maps for western Europe pre-installed.
- The price-tag is 481€ without a contract (same as the Palm Pre)
- No word on availability, SIM-Lock etc. yet. However, it is expected to be SIM-lock-free (as are all new O2 handsets) and available from November 9.
Awesomeness. But I just found about the Sony Xperia X3 too...

Engadget list of X3 articles: http://www.engadget.com/tag/Rachael/

So, no droning on this time, lets get to the specs... which are relatively patchy and incomplete despite an apparent November 3rd launch.

--------------------------------------------

Confirmed:
  • 4" capacitive touchscreen
  • 480 x 854 resolution
  • 1ghz Snapdragon CPU
  • 8MP camera with Autofocus
  • GPS
  • Android 2.0 w. customised SE UI
  • Mini/USB
  • 3.5mm jack
Unconfirmed:
  • 32GB internal storage
  • HD video recording (would make sense given the Snapdragon)
--------------------------------------------

Looks are also similarly sexy...

The question is... will this phone arrive no time given SE's history of being awful in that department... and will the battery be good enought to power such a monster screen and CPU? Either way I am excited... the next gen of Android phones are looking like a quantum leap over the first-gen specs. It is going to be an awesome, awesome year in the mobile world.
