The Motorola Motoroi, to be put out by SK. iPhone killer?

Nice spec. Call me stubborn, but I'm still going for iPhone and its apps.

I'm kinda excited about, and quite tempted to get it, even though my phone is currently with LG Oz... wonder how much cancellation is here?

On the sad side, I wish it had a physical keyboard like the Droid. Oh well.

Its a wave of new Android phones coming to Korea. One of the perks of the new Androids is having DMB functionality.

Looks nice and I"m happy to see Android arrive, but I'm not dead set on buying it yet. I'll look at it and see how it feels before I decide. I'm not desperate for a phone, so another month isn't a big deal.

Motorola's Korea representative, Rick Wolochatiuk, said at a press briefing the device would sell for around 900,000 won (US$800). The iPhone retails for around 900,000 won in South Korea market, while Samsung and LG phones are being sold for around 600,000-900,000 won and 700,000 won, respectively.


I imagine it will be subsidized down to iPhone levels.

That looks pretty sweet to me. The UI seems a bit choppy though. Is this because it's a prerelease device, or do all the Android phones have choppy UIs? Considering the beastly processor this phone is supposed to have, I don't think that the choppiness is acceptable (if this is the final version).

Update at engadget, the Motoroi is heading to other countries too. Link also has 3 fun Korean Motoroi promo vids.

Ooo.... Surprised
