T-Mobile and Verizon to offer Android-based Motorola phone
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that both Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile plan to offer Android-based phones that will be manufactured by Motorola before the end of 2009. T-Mobile USA will launch a touch-screen Motorola phone with a slide-out keyboard, an increasingly popular hardware setup. The software, built on Android, will emphasize “social communications” services, a person familiar with the device said. The phone will have a range of built-in social-networking software from popular providers such as Facebook and Twitter, the person added. Verizon Wireless, a joint venture of Verizon Communications Inc. and Vodafone Group PLC, is planning to carry a Motorola device with similar hardware to the T-Mobile one, including a touch screen and slide-out keyboard, a person familiar with the situation said. A Motorola spokeswoman declined to comment.
