Once Go... morehaving that Android is freely licensed Google can not forbid Samsung, LG, Ericsson or others to make mobiles with Android (not to mention tablets). If they make license exclusive to Moto, then they will take huge risk, because currently Meego is "homeless". And Bada is quite potent OS if Samsung puts some money in development there.

      710 is cheaper, faster, can have more storage, has a better camera, has navigation and nokia music, different colors. This device has no chance.

            At that price you're probably better off getting the Nokia Lumia 710 :) Nice device though.

              No wonder it was "quietly announced". It was forgettable in the first place.

                  It's actually decent looking, i would love to see them design a high end device with greater specs.

                      "Its measures stand at 11.6 x 5.9 x 13mm, and its weight is 126 grams."

                      11.6mm long x 5.9mm wide? Lols!

                      13mm thick is fine. What about the length and witdth? Some typo error, gsmarena?

                        So quite, that this move is... Quite unexpected. Acer made a lot of hyped-up move into the smartphone market, but it never really took off. Maybe this might turn around.
