T-Mobile, Verizon set to offer Android-based Motorola phones this year


Details are still a little light on this one, but The Wall Street Journal is reporting that both T-Mobile and Verizon will be offering Android-based phones from Motorola before the end of the year, according to "people familiar with the matter." While the Verizon phone is still a bit iffy, the T-Mobile offering seems to almost certainly be the Motorola Morrision which, as you can see above, is already pretty well acquainted with T-Mo branding. According to one of those people familiar with the matter, Verizons Moto phone will have "similar hardware to the T-Mobile one," including a touchscreen and a slide-out keyboard, which doesnt exactly rule out Motorolas rumored Calgary slider, even if "similar" isnt the first word that springs to mind when discussing the two.
