Motorola Dogz - LTE, stock Gingerbread

**Phil Nickinson** · 11-08-2010, 05:00 PM

You all know the drill about these about screens -- anyone can fake them. But I'm still compelled to share this tip. None of this is official, or even confirmed. But it's definitely juicy:

Motorola Dogz

Android 2.3 Gingerbread
Stock Android
Carrier: Verizon
Date (unknown whether launch or announcement or something else entirely): On or about Dec. 13, 2010.
4-inch SLCD display (at the usual 480x854 if this screen shot is to be believed)
TI OMAP4 @ 1.2 GHz
8MP rear camera with 720p video recording
1.5MP front-facing camera
LTE-capable

They must be running out of names

the release date is puzzling.. releasing something in the middle of the holiday season would be odd, you'd either cannibalize your black friday sales, or you'd have a ton of returns.

I'm not discounting it because of the name though.
The OG droid was Sholes
The D2 was Shadow

Yeah. I'm not sure what Dec. 13 is, but I'm sure it's not a launch date, and I doubt it'll be announced then, either.

i would truthfully be shocked to see a straight up stock android device at this point (N2/S notwithstanding), especially from moto.

that said, these rumored specs are intriguing to say the least

**Droid hungry** · 11-09-2010, 01:47 AM

I don't know. Seems a little strange to me. I think its a fake. Just seems to be too... I just feel like I don't trust it. Call me crazy but that's what I think.

**gracefulminutes** · 11-10-2010, 01:26 PM

I don't trust the font on this 'screenshot'. While that might be a bit weird...it just doesn't seem like a legit one. Also, re: the name - Sholes is one thing, Shadow is another...but Dogz?! huWhaaaa?!

Personal Verdict: fake as GWBush's college degree. (*)

(*) - for comedic purposes only...let's not get into politics here.

VZW launched LTE on 12/6. So the 12/13 date could just be following Monday. But I had thought that all LTE devices would be announced in January...

**gracefulminutes** · 11-10-2010, 01:34 PM

Maybe VZW is *actually trying* to keep something under wraps! Could it be?!

**jxcgunrunna** · 11-10-2010, 01:41 PM

I thought 2.3 was supposed to have a black status bar?

**Chris Parsons** · 11-10-2010, 01:50 PM

Either way, fake or not. Those specs would be something quite pleasing to see come from Verizon. But, I'm guessing it won't happen since carriers especially Verizon, seem to have issues with leaving anything stock on device.

**Killa C** · 11-10-2010, 01:55 PM

I thought Verizon was launching their LTE this month. In a week or so in fact. That's why I'm so psyched for the supposed Incredible HD. Could this be the DX "HD"? You know, the DX with an added forward facing camera and LTE?

Are you posting from the future? Please don't be offended. I just thought it was funny.

Aren't you running on 4G now!?

Ok, so yeah chalk that up to spell checker. They moved the date from 11/15 to 12/6 for a few reasons. nut even if it still was 11/15 there is no plans to release any 4G hand sets until after announcements in Jan. I jave heard HTC is definatelly testing something.

Also I know field tests using a laptop card are getting between 4 to 8 Mbps down on the outskirts of the NY LTE market. We are talking about 2 bars of signal. The high was Over 30.

I am sure moto will have a 4G device by May, but I am just going of VZW's announcement of who the initial manufacturers are.

The dogs.

Someone has let them out.

Who?

Who, who?

Who?

**thebizz** · 11-10-2010, 07:57 PM

if it has an omap4 why only 720p that processor can handle up to 1080p

A phone called Dogz, heh? Interesting ... if it turns out to be one I like that would be soooooooooo appropriate for me cuz I loooooove my FurKids!

**Jaredshoes** · 12-01-2010, 10:58 PM

this would be very very nice

**2005CTS** · 12-02-2010, 11:35 AM

Very curious about this phone. If VZW really is going to delay their LTE phones until "mid" 2011 then they are going to need to have some new 3G devices coming out this winter to keep up with the technology.
