Alleged shot of Motorola Morrison for T-Mobile has us swinging wildly betwixt love and disgust

by Chris Ziegler posted Jun 19th 2009 at 5:28PM

Is the world ready for a white, black, and shiny metallic blue Android phone? Well, the world may not have to be -- but we strongly suspect this picture claiming to be the Motorola "Morrison" for T-Mobile USA is real since it exactly matches the thumbnail in that leaked roadmap from a while back. We can only guess from the coloration that this is likely going to be billed as a youth device -- and Motorola's said in the past that it wants to build its Android lineup around a social networking platform, which all the kiddies are into these days -- so we're thinking this could end up being positioned below the G1 and its contemporaries / successors in T-Mobile's catalog. Would we buy it? Yeah, maybe -- the keyboard looks usable, but maybe we're still so Android-starved around here that our judgment can't be trusted.

Stop trying to make fetch happen! It's not going to happen!

The Good: physical keyboard, dpad

The Bad: no dedicated number keys on the keyboard (not 5 rows, like a G1), and ugly color scheme.

I'll stick with my G1.

Actually, the d-pad does kinda question whether it'll have a touch screen or not. Though some phone are touch screen and still have a d-pad.............. is my trust pretty much on edge right now haha

The G1 and MyTouch have trackballs but still have a touchscreen, and the Samsung i7500 has a d-pad and a touchscreen. This is going to have one, too. You know how you can be absolutely sure? There's no other way to dial it without the keyboard out, and the keyboard doesn't have dedicated number keys. I'm not saying it's impossible that they'd leave out a touchscreen, but it's pretty unlikely.
