It also has a 5MP cam with flash, CMMB mobile TV capability and the dual screen will be both resistive and capacitive. The part that flips will have capacitive sensors while the main screen will be resistive. It will be interesting to see how both of these technologies work together.

This is the eighth Android-powered device launched by Motorola around the globe.

“As we continue to expand Motorola’s portfolio of Android-powered devices, we remain committed to delivering more of what people want from their handheld devices in easier ways,” said Sanjay Jha, co-CEO of Motorola and CEO of Motorola Mobile Devices and Home business. “QUENCH with MOTOBLUR showcases Motorola’s design heritage by offering a compelling differentiation from the traditional Android experience, giving people an easier way to have more messaging, more Web and more music.”

It is outfitted with a 1GHZ Snapdragon, yes folks this is another Snapdragon will be in the lineup. And if you take into account that Samsung has the ability to tweak CPU’s and storage this could turn out to be a really interesting phone. Here is some of the suspected specs.
- 1 GHz Snapdragon
- 3.7 inch AMOLED touch screen
- 5 MP camera
- 32 GB internal memory
- Android 2.1
- 3.5 mm jack

The phone will use China’s homegrown 3G standard and a China Mobile operating system, which is known as the Ophone. It will access the internet using China Mobile’s TD-SCDMA (Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access) network or WiFi. The MT710 will also be able to download applications via the Mobile Market from China Mobile.

A China Mobile representative said that the MT710, will go on sale in China on December 28th of this year. There’s no word on pricing just yet, but the device – like all Ophones – will use a version of the Google Android operating system, which is modified by China Mobile. To check the full specifications of this Motorola phone, click here.

The OPhone operates with OMS or Open Mobile System which is a fork of Android. The device has a 5MP cam with auto-focus and flash, WiFi, microSD slot, TD-SCDMA (the standard in China for 3G). The phone also has CMMB (China’s TV streaming standard).

The more recent images clearly show off the China Mobile branding. There is limited information and specific price  details available at the moment. Suggestions list the phone to follow the launch of Dopod G2 which also runs OMS.

Unlike the original iPhone and iPhone 3G, the 3.5mm headphone jack is located at the bottom right hand side of the OPhone.  The microUSB slot for synching and charging is placed to the left of the headphone jack.

There’s a dedicated camera button on the right hand side.

One of the main reasons that I’m still carrying a Nokia N95 8GB NAM (now sporting the new N85 NAM edition) is because of the 5MP camera and flash.  Unfortunately both of these features are missing from the iPhone 3G.  Seems as though Lenovo has thought long and hard about these two features and have included them into the OPhone.  Another much needed feature is a removable battery.

I’m looking forward to next year for the OPhone to hit the market; I’ll fly to China if I have to – to buy one of these babies!  Obviously, I suspect the OPhone will show up at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

From what we can see in the pictures, the OPhone has a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and flash. There is also a microSD card slot –no surprises there. It’s a no-brainer that there will be an onscreen keyboard, but there will be Chinese and English input methods. Though we are unsure if there is any data exchange support, what we do know is there will be a video recorder and Bluetooth support.

We are still waiting on the core specs of the device; we will let you know the second we find out more about the Lenovo OPhone. There is still no word on whether this will be branded under the “OPhone” name or not. The only branding we see is the red circle with “MS” next to it. This is a very curious branding as the last time I checked MS did not stand for Andoid.

This Lenovo handset will not be the only OPhone, however.  The project is China Mobile’s attempt to marry the open-source OS with the Chinese government’s favored 3G standard, and refers to the OMS (Open Mobile System) they have developed.

“Given these (iPhone, Android, Symbian) developments, it is becoming very clear that developing a proprietary handset operating system is essential for dominance of the mobile Internet market in China. At the moment, China Mobile is in a comparatively weak position without its own operating system. With its own operating system, China Mobile will be able to commission customized phones from handset makers and keep its hand strong in negotiations over profit sharing. There is even the possibility that China Mobile may move into manufacturing handsets itself” Source familiar with situation

Unfortunately the nature of TD SCDMA means that the Lenovo handset, in its Chinese form at least, will not be available outside of the country.  However we can hope that Lenovo will consider developing a US/Euro version of the smartphone.
