Motorola Droid A855 (aka Tao/Sholes/Shules/Flash) Pre-Release Thread

It's supposed to be nice. Also the flash is also really nice and bright.

WOW thanks for the photo and AndroidandMe leak

Somehow I'm most excited about syncing with Chrome on PC, and flash support... The "thinnest qwerty phone" sounds FANTASTIC.

Since Android 2.0 will have OpenGL ES 2.0 support, I hope someone designs a more attractive UI for it, like Tegra's or something... because stock Android really fugly.... But overall GREAT GREAT GREAT

It's stock Android.... I'd be heart broken if this is how Eclair will look like.

That is absolutely correct.

Does anyone know if this phone will use a standard USB charger or a proprietary charger?

**G_Raph** · 10-01-2009, 07:15 AM

When I saw yesterday that the storm 2 wouldn't be out, I thought to myself "there is no way the tao will be out until black friday." The only good thing to come from this is since they have 2 months left, it will definitely have eclair on it. Here's to hoping all the other specs are true, and I hope vzw announces all the info (price/specs/etc.) tuesday at motodev.

Dec 1st!? Well, As long as I can get it before tax season.

Any word on the Tao/Shules syncing with MS Exchange Server?

It will have sync for Exchange calendar, contacts and email but not for tasks.

sory if posted already but is it known if this phone will be a smartphone (needing to buy a data plan) or a dumbphone

**wickcity** · 10-01-2009, 08:04 AM

absolutely, you'll have to pay for the data. Heck, Vzw. is charging for data on the Rogue.

All Andriod devices are smartphones. So yes a $30/mon data plan will be mandatory.

If it can sync with exchange, then how is it a Google experience phone? I thought they couldnt sync with exchange, or something like that anyway.

**xbernaut** · 10-01-2009, 08:16 AM

it uses the mirco usb charger port
ill check the memory

**duffduffxx** · 10-01-2009, 08:29 AM

EDIT: Nevermind- I figured out that you can still sync to your company's exchange server on the 29.99 plan for anyone who cared.

Also can we PLEASE get a pic of the keyboard?

I wish they would just announce the damn thing already

I'd be pretty surprised if it didn't have microUSB.
My V9m has that from 2007.

Does the music player support multitasking (playing in the background)?

I know a lot of people have asked for pictures of the phone, which I will not do....but how about one taken outside by the phone's 5MP camera?
That way we can get an idea of what the camera quality will be like.
