First Images and Details of the Motorola Motus Come to Light

Specifications and an image of what will apparently be Motorola's third Android-powered smartphone have leaked out.

This device will supposedly have much in common with the Motorola Cliq, but with an unusual design. Unconfirmed reports say the Motorola Motus will have a physical keyboard, but won't be a slider or clamshell. Instead, will have a reverse flip keyboard, so that when this model is closed it's keyboard is on the back.

The specification list that has leaked out shows that this smartphone will have a 3.1-inch HVGA (320 x 480) touchscreen, and run Android 1.5 with Motorola's Blur software that gives easy access to social-networking services like Facebook and Twitter.

It's not clear what wireless carrier will offer the Motorola Motus, as it will have support for both AT&T's and T-Mobile's 3G networks. Verizon and Sprint are apparently out of the running, though.
