One hot mama! Motorola's new MT716 is silver, sleek, and absolutely stunning! Its similarity, at first-glance, to the Droid and Droid 2, is apparent, but this one's fully equipped, with even better specs. This baby's got an 8MP camera, with dual LED flash and takes 720P video! It has loads of other amazing features too, like 512 MB of RAM-now who doesn't want that much RAM in their pocket? Let's not forget the front-facing camera, or the full QWERTY keyboard, with a nice trackpad. Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, it is... for now. This little beauty is a Chinese phone, that runs on a special Android OS port, called oPhone, so there's no telling when (or if) this little magical Motorola device will be rolling out across the nation. But, isn't the anticipation exciting? [via Droid-life]

"The Force is strong with this one"; "This could be the DROID you're looking for"; "Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed." The Star Wars clichés almost write themselves when it comes to Verizon's new DROID R2-D2 by Motorola special edition so stand well back and clutch your beloved DVD box set close. Although creating limited editions of smartphones isn't new, it's rare that they prompt the level of interest this Star Wars model has; Verizon and Motorola have obviously discovered a rich seam of Android-loving Star Wars crossover fanatics.

Android 2.1 may be the last official update to the Eris from Verizon. They have decided to end support of the Eris, it was the launch partner of the original Droid. It’s still possible that HTC may choose to still support the handset but that is highly unlikely. If you want 2.2 on Eris you might want to root it or be satisfied with 2.1.
