The Droid Motorola is undoubtedly one of the hottest phones Moto had, and maybe that’s why the company plans to launch a similar phone in China. This device is called Motorola and is a oPhone MT710, which means running the Android operating system customized for China Mobile.
The MT710 is similar to the droid, but no slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Its characteristics are also similar, including a 3.7-inch touchscreen with 845 x 480 pixels and Wi-Fi. The smartphone will also feature connectivity TD-SCDMA and CMMB (China Mobile Multimedia Broadcasting) support.
