[B Low]

Based on good sources, we won't see this until closer to the end of the year, but it sounds like we will see this on VZW. I am excited!

[killa_216_nicca]

C'mon Bill!
Your always teasing! I say we have somebody get an IP on this guy, hunt him down, and hog tie him for Moto info!

[cosmosan]

Okay, instead of pictures, can you just describe the phone, features, specs....?

2 questions...what processor? Faster than the Droid?

[drhill26]

Should we be expecting any announcements anytime this week bill? I assume the one in your hand is CDMA right? Is it really 4.3"?

[Friend-O]

The Shadow is in reality Lamont Cranston, wealthy young man-about-town.

Bill, Bill, Bill, teasing us all as usual. I respect your privacy. Obviously, it's probably too early to leak too much information, so you may as well play with us like a kitten plays with a ball of yarn

Any info that you can drop is, as always, greatly appreciated. Form factor, screen size, TFT or AMOLED...but if I know Bill, the specifics are off limits and mostly just the opinions are fair game. Being as generic as possible, I'll only ask the following:

1.) Is it a newer version of Android, or if it isn't on there yet as it's just likely a very early prototype, is it slated to eventually receive a newer version of Android?

2.) Is it a full touchscreen?

3.) Do you believe it will be an overall step up from the Droid?

I feel those questions are generic enough. I hope I'm right.

[killa_216_nicca]

Some pretty good questions.
Hopefully he'll be able to answer at least a few of the more general ones such as...
Processor
Full Touchscreen/Multitouch
Version Of Android
How long well be waiting for some juicy info!?

Some generic info I received recently on this device for all interested.

1: It is full touchscreen, but can't say about multiTouch as the unit they saw was in rough form still.
2: It does have a 4.3" screen. It also has HDMI cable for true 1080 output, not sure if it is 1080i or 1080p tho. I'm also not sure there is a USB port also on it as they didn't say anything about it. So the HDMI plug may cover it or not for charging, and hooking up to a comp and so forth.
3: Device is only about 3/8 of and inch thick.

As for hardware I asked but did not get any specific info but if I had to guess it has got to be updated to either Snapdragon or Tegra if it is going to have a 4.3" screen and be able to playback in 1080i/p.

[pequeajim]

That is right, though my "source" told me that they are pushing for 1080p, yes on the usb port. All that I can say about the processor is that you will not be dissapointed...

I was told about the same thing......lol, they just can't say in specific what it was at this time.

[drhill26]

So we just need answers on OLED vs. TFT, video capture resolution, mic/sound canceling, car and home docks, and a release date/carrier info.

All you guys in the know feel free to chime in.
