Google Phone 2.0 in Detail..

For a few, the term Google Phone 2.0 is absolutely alien so they need to be told that it is just another name for the second version of the Google mobile OS, Android. The much anticipated Motorola Droid is the one that is powered by this OS, just to make things a little more explicable. Also, another clarification needed before we tell you more about Android 2.0 is that Google is not at all readying its own handset and therefore Google 2.0 is not a name of any handset coming in the future.

Google-Phone-2.0_Android-Second-Version

As far as the Android 2.0 OS is concerned, the droid users will discover that they can run the applications quicker than usual times and even while multi-tasking, the features are more readily accessible.Unlike the normal handsets, the Android 2.0 powered devices will have a contact list that includes contacts from Facebook as well. The Zooming function also gets a boost with this OS and the users also get to use the latest and updated Google Maps.

Another marked change is the improvement in support for Microsoft Exchange. Google 2.0 users can integrate their mails from various accounts into one common place.

There are features that make the phone usage easier while driving and even video uploading will be less cumbersome a task. Just to remind you again, Google 2.0 is not a handset!

T-Mobile Announces Motorola Cliq Android Phone’s Release Date and Pricing.. oct19-nov2

Voting Closed. Rating: +3 (from 3 votes)

Motorola is eager to know the future of its Android devices (seeking revival) and therefore it is manufacturing devices with the Google OS one after the other. The Motorola CLIQ will be available for pre-order from October 19 and will hit the shelves November 2nd.

CLIQ-Front-Open-TMO-Desktop-Resolution

CLIQ comes with a 3.1-inch (480×360) touchscreen display and a QWERTY keypad which implies that it is primarily a texting device. Even T-Mobile is releasing the phone for the messaging and social networking purpose as a huge amount of subscribers use these services through such phones.

The phone is 3G and WiFi enabled but even then the pricing of $199 on a two-year contract is somewhat unjust. Without the contract the phone will cost $449 but the buyer has to subscribe for a data plan.

Other than T-Mobile, Orange UK will release it as the DEXT with pre-orders for the phone beginning on October 22nd. This Motorola handset will also conquer the European and South American markets sometime in the future.

The CLIQ is a tad expensive but those wanting to enjoy the MOTOBLUR feature will not bother about the pricing part, after all, the MOTOBLUR feature is exclusive to this phone.

New T-Mobile Pulse…!!!

T-Mobile Pulse:

T-Mobile and Huawei's first Android phone:

t

The latest Android device to be announced as a T-Mobile exclusive, the Pulse is set to be the most affordable mobile sporting the open source software yet.

Mobile phone carrier T-Mobile has made a little telecommunications history today after confirming the launch of its Pulse handset, the world’s very first pay-as-you-go (PAYG) smartphone powered by the Google-backed Android operating system.

Expected to hit European retail outlets this coming October, T-Mobile has said the new PAYG Android phone will carry a purchase cost of just 180 GBP, which may well attract smartphone consumers in their droves given that Apple’s PAYG iPhone currently sells for around 540 GBP.

“We introduced the first Android handset, the T-Mobile G1 to the UK back in October 2008, launch our second handset, the G2 Touch, earlier this year and now we’re opening up Android-based smartphones to a whole new type of mobile user with the first handset on pay-as-you-go,” trumpeted Nicola Shenton, head of T-Mobile UK’s handset division.

Those prospective buyers with their ears suitably pricked by the prospect of a much more recession friendly pay-as-you-go smartphone can look forward to a Huawei-made device that comes equipped with a generous features.

T-Mobile has extended its Android offering with the launch of its first non-HTC Android phone - the T-Mobile Pulse.

The new phone is the first in the world to be offered on Pay As You Go, and comes in at a sprightly £180.

t2Features:

  • 3.5 inch touchscreen
  • 320 x 480 pixels resolution
  • HSDPA 7.2 Mbps and HSUPA 5.76 Mbps
  • Wi-Fi
  • GPS
  • Bluetooth 2.0
  • 3.2MP camera
  • 2GB of internal memory

However, users will have to pay a fair whack to use the internet on this device, which some might be upset about given Android is fairly data-centric, at £5 per month or £1 per day.

T-Mobile will also be offering the Pulse on pay monthly contracts in due course.

The new phone has been given an October UK release date, so not long to wait if you're after Android on a budget.
