While Motorola’s Opus One is certainly no Droid, it looks to be a pretty decent phone from launch, mainly because it is Motorola’s first iDEN Android phone. Now, that is pretty cool in itself, but the features also make this a likely candidate for a good launch.
Now there is a slightly huge drawback and that is the Opus One is going to be running on Android 1.5 with the iDEN enhancements. That may be enough to drive people away, but before you leave, check out the full specification list from BGR:
• 3.1″ hVGA 320×480 capacitative 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 enviroments
• 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.
With the iDEN support, this phone isn’t too shabby.
Let’s just hope that it’s running at least Android 2.0 when it’s released because come on, even Android 2.1 has been hacked onto the Motorola Droid already.
