In a time when most of the mobile phone makers are rather focused on coming to the market with handsets based on some of the most popular operating systems available on the market, Motorola is now reported to plan on launching a new device that would be powered by a custom Linux platform, though the company also announced plans to release mobile phones based on Windows Mobile or the Android platform in the near future.
The new handset, Motorola A1210, is targeted at the mobile phone users in China, and will be added to other Linux-based devices that the American maker has released in the country. Yet the new A1210 model is reported to be the successor of Motorola A1200 Ming, a cell phone that saw the light of day about three weeks ago.
The new handset has been slightly modified, and now it comes with a 2.8-inch display that is able to provide users with a 240×400 pixel resolution while also featuring touchscreen capabilities. Motorola A1210 also sports a 3.1-megapixel photo snapper, and includes tri-band 2.5G GSM (900/1800/1900 MHz)/EDGE connectivity, although no 3G capabilities can be seen.
The handset is powered by a TI OMAP850 processor and includes 64MB of internal memory space, coupled with a microSD memory card slot for additional storage capacity. The new flip Motorola A1210 also features FM Radio, Bluetooth connectivity and USB slot. The device measures 102 x 53.8 x 20.5mm and weighs 125g.
For the time being, it seems that China is the only market that the new Motorola A1210 will be available in, yet we might be able to see it come to other areas as well at some point, taking into consideration the fact that its predecessor was available in Europe too, with the mobile phone carrier TIM. No word on the pricing of the device is available for now.
