BAD TRANSLATION: Gizmodo Brasil said they don't have further infos on connectivity, but they don't imagine a phone like this without 3G and/or wifi.

    Although I only use BlackBerry, I like Android phones. I must admit that the square (as opposed to rectangle) form factor get some getting used to. I do not think it is ugly just different.
    Go Moto go!!

        Wow... (in a very dissapointing way)

        I mean, this type of swivel has already ben launched by chinese manufacturers like a year now... don't think you can call this a strange new design.

          Actually, the original article states that connectivity options are unknown, the reference to no 3g or no wi-fi is a result of a bad translation.

And why woudn't it be? They're the phone industry's best customers!

                nice design...something new...and those that again compare with other devices you are out of your mind.Do you think every one wants a large display?do you thing everyone wants a snap dragon processor and 12 mpx camera?this would be just enough for those that do not fancy too much technologi and just want to have a phone with social capability'es and it brings even more than that.I like new phones of motorola,nice and unique designs.GO MOTO!

                          The phone design looks pretty kool and functions seem quite good. On the Flipout page on gsmarena it says it has wifi. The phone does look like the nokia 7705/twist, but has the nokia 7705/twist actually been released yet?

                          And what is the point of mentioning sony ericsson x10 or watever, it has nothing to do with this phone.

                              sorry but innovative this is not. This is a direct rip of the Nokia Twist.

                                Isnt Android a powerful OS people?Then why does Moto keep turning out these mediocre devices?Why are they bringing that OS to such low status?Everytime I hear Android I think of fast and powerfull,I think fully loaded keeps my mind from getting an Apple OS(also fast and powerful)but Android FTW.No wonder HTC has left Moto in the dust and in a few years they'll wonder y they failed.
