Looks great like the design more than the x but hate blur period so ill pass. Motorola can make a good looking phone

Seems like everyone wants to look like the Samsung Galaxy now, many new devices are looking similar.

Because there isn't even a release of it yet. There was a video a few days ago from a review site in Israel which explained that when it launches it will have GB, but that for now it's got Froyo since that's the latest one available.

Really, though, do you think there would be a 3rd party build of GB before the source code is even released?

**thebizz** · 12-01-2010, 11:35 PM

Yes their will be Motorola had builds of froyo for the droid1 around the same time of the n1 release

Eh, I don't like the design of the phone too much. MotoBlur is a turn off as well.

Anyone know the specs on the screen size? Looks 4.3 and if this comes to at&t like the rumors say, ill be getting it. Hate motoblur but thats what ADW & Launcher Pro are for.

A very nice looking device. I love it that the car dock feature is showing up like on the DX. Hopefully it launches with all the necessary accessories. I hope this comes out this month on AT&T...because I have grown tired of waiting for VZW to release the DINC HD.

**EggoEspada** · 12-03-2010, 06:34 PM

Any updates on this thing?

**thebizz** · 12-03-2010, 08:34 PM

Nope we will be sitting back and waiting until ces

**2005CTS** · 12-05-2010, 08:28 PM

I am dying to get this phone. I will go with whoever has it first...AT&T or VZW.

Me too, have to wait for the "Etna" fer VZW though:o

**GTvert90** · 12-07-2010, 12:07 AM

"etna" is out there in testing.. Running 2.2 for now. I would hope it has 2.3 by release

**puja_g** · 12-09-2010, 03:52 PM

Does anyone know if there will be another similar device coming to at&t as well? I love the look of this phone.. But I can't stand the fact that it has blur.. Even though I've never had an Android device before, I think Motoblur looks hideous.. Hah. I'd much rather have the same UI the Captivate does :/

**el_ote** · 12-10-2010, 12:43 AM

New here to the android life and wondering if a root would be able to not have the motoblur or if that would be "built in" to any UI. I've heard of launchers and different ROMS, but without an android of my own, cant really experiment...

It has to be rooted then someone will have to build a custom rom to fully get rid of blur. Yes you can install third party launchers but that only hides blur. And from my experience blur isn't worth it. Its a battery drain and ugly. Oh yeah it sucks up so many resources its not funny. Blur is a Motorola skin added to android same as sense. But sense seems well thought out and implemented blur well that's a different story

**el_ote** · 12-10-2010, 01:20 AM

Im going to hope that the root and ROM turnaround time on this puppy is short because I am holding onto my upgrade for this bad boy blur or not...

Motorola Olympus MB860 Takes Photos, Makes Picasa Appearance?
On 12.14.10, In Breaking, News, by Kellex

Picasa is at it again! The ultimate leak machine these days for anyone with too much time on their hands, has produced the first pictures from the Motorola Olympus (MB860). They aren’t much to look at and the resolution or crop job on some of them is about as weird as it gets, but we may still have discovered something special pictured in the image below:

Is that a Motorola Olympus? It’s definitely a Moto device and these pics were definitely taken in their offices, hence the logo in this pic which refers to a successful launch of some sort:

We also took a closer look at the photo below from a different user and while we can’t tell what it’s referencing, it does mention the words “OLY” and “OLYMP” which would match up to the name we’ve been hearing for months now.

Fun stuff, right?

You should also expect a post every other day now from someone scouring Picasa for the latest MB860 pics!
