Remember the Opus One, the Android-powered iDEN handset from Motorola we scooped and then spec’d just before Christmas? Well apparently it’s going to be made official sometime in the next few weeks (hello, CTIA!) and will feature one added but obvious goodie: MOTOBLUR. Since we know most of you don’t have encyclopedic memories, here’s a bit of a refresher on what we’ve been told this phone is all about:
* 3.1″ hVGA 320×480 capacitive touchscreen display
* 3 megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash
* Accelerometer
* Proximity sensor
* Wi-Fi 802.11b/g
* Bluetooth
* microSD card slot
* 2.5mm headset jack
* Home, Menu, Back, Speaker buttons are capacitive buttons with haptic feedback
* iDEN PTT & PTX
* Android LBS which is integrated into the iDEN GPS engine
* “Enterprise email”
* Plastic-molded housing with some rubberized texture finishes
* 58mm in width, 118mm in length
* 100g weight
* 512MB Flash / 256MB of RAM
* 64k and 128k iDEN SIM card support
* A-GPS
* Motorola dual-mic technology noise-canceling for noisy environments
* Flash Lite v3.1.x
* Some of the preloaded apps include: corporate email client with ActiveSync support, MOTONAV navigation app, barcode scanner, and document viewer.
Obviously without being official it’s not possible to confirm carriers, but naturally Sprint’s Nextel and Boost are going to get on board while TELUS’s Mike is said to be getting it in Q3.
