Looks nice. Although, I can't help thinking of it as a poor man's HTC or Eten..

Mac OSX is UNIX based. Not the handset...

The UI is certainly better than v3/L7/k1. But if only there is WiFi or 3G, then this phone is good. The barcode scanning function is to decode 1D or 2D barcodes. Like Japan Docomo phones can make payment at supermarket by scanning the barcode and it will charge it to the monthly phone bills.

please not for all purposes this is a java bassed operating system. Its just running a basic *linux kernel to load its Java software. It will not be favoured to any other operating system more so because of this.

As far as its Geek factor is concerned, id support it, as they support linux ;) and time will only tell how maluable the hardware is as fas as running geek land linux tools :P Which would be unreal. but highly unlikely.

Have any other of the older Linux bassed motorolla handsets had any extensive porting achieved on them?

Awesome! Linux based OS... Wonder how It'll work with Windows Vista and XP... I expect It'll work better with Mac OSX since it's Unix based as well as Red Hat also. Wish I'd seen this phone earlier. It looks kinda nice. I rather liked the V3 black. Although it looks boring now, It's nice to see Motorola coming back with new-ish ideas.

Although the PDA design has been round for quite a while though, I'm thinking that this is maybe Motorola's first real attempt at conquering the PDA market.

Also, going back to the OS - another thing I just thought of is the possibilities with regards to open-source code and apps.

This should be pretty cool.

@ Steven

Oh pardon for my poor english then...Anyway I do not feel ashamed of that as my mother tongue is not english feel free to relate me to crap phones or insult me anyway it will only make me look down on you. If you feel this phone is a crap, then sell it. Anyway and don't post comments like it is outdated technology where you never even mention what this phone is backdated or lack in performances. By the way seriously do you own this phone before?? I had mentioned before this phone lacks EDGE, 3G, Wi-Fi and low internal memory which people should consider buying or not. Anyway I own SE k800i, which i used for camera or calls only. Who cares about using a crap small screen to surf and email when I can carry my fujitsu centrino duo core to surf at any wifi areas.

You guys need something so extremely perfect more than yourself, nothing is perfect in this world. Just stop trowing bad stories about Moto. The Moto ROKR E6 is the best I'm on the way to buy it.

@ NOKIA FAN

I guess opinions and reviews are getting pointless and useless when such shambolic people making laughable comments. You use E6 before? U try on the linux OS and do a telnet before? U use it to view pdf and microsoft words before?
I rather hear people comment that this phone does not support EDGE, 3G or with low internal memory sucks rather making comments like another crap phone. Of cos I tested this phone before as is my job anyway and later linux version is having problems that is why they are releasing based on A1200 software. Personally, I prefer SE phones no doubt about it as I own K800i the problem is only the menu lags but I had enough with Nokia as my bad experience with 6260 is enough. N-series? Fix the bug before releasing them. You need evidences I can name a lot like my aunt N70 needs a software upgrade in order for her call applications to work, my friend N70 needs to change a mother board, my uncle N73 of 3 days cannot even save a newly captured picture to the gallery. These are basic functionality and bugs that need to be solved before they can release them to face the world. By the way need any receipts to support my claims??

@ stone cold

I guess is he just another empty brain cell or got cheated by Motorola when he bought v3 when it initially launched at a high price. I wonder does he know symbian, linux or windows mobile. Those OS of Motorola phones which are so called crayon drawings are on P2K platform and for 2007 those low end phones will carry on with that platform. Future phones for Motorola will be in linux or windows mobile(Moto Q pro). To be honest the OS for v3/L7 sucks in terms of the UI looks, but that does not mean only gays carrying that phones.
