The "Roi"?
Tuesday, January 19, 2010 at 7:10 AM Thar she blows! Motorola's Android entry to the Korean Market. To be released on SK Telecom next month for an undisclosed price. (Although here's hoping it's cheap considering the free-ness of the operating system involved). (Speaking of which here's hoping that it is infinitely hackable and not locked down!)
From Engadget:
That Korean-language version of the XT701 we saw recently is starting to make more sense now that we know exactly what was up Moto's sleeve: meet MOTOROI. The company's very first Android-powered phone for South Korea takes most (but not all) of its cues from its China Unicom-branded doppelganger, featuring a 3.7-inch WVGA display, 8 megapixel camera with 720p video capture, HDMI-out, and -- like most phones sold in and around Seoul -- support for T-DMB television tuning. Like the Droid, it's available with a home charging dock that'll turn it into a handy alarm clock; unlike the Droid, though, the MOTOROI features multitouch browsing out of the box similar to the Milestone in Europe. The oddly-named phone (is "ROI" acceptable for short?) launches early next month on SK Telecom.
