Motorola Shadow is on the Internets again, who changed the CPU?
Share:
This article contains unofficial information.
Now, obviously the gym tipster wasn't a good listener, but still some of the things heard in the previous leaks remain the same – the Motorola Shadow does 720p HD video with its 8MP camera (which is believable considering the CPU supports hardware accelerated video), runs a newer version of the MOTOBLUR UI, and is lighter than the original Motorola DROID. In addition, we can now clearly see that the Shadow has an HDMI port. Still, we are in the dark whether the 9mm thin device will have the DROID's hardware keyboard, or not, and the newest leaked snapshot isn't helping much in that respect.

no hardware keyboard. it is a 1 ghz processor, that is clocked down in some test models and not in others...its being checked for performance...its 8gb internal and comes with an 8gb memory card...thats where the 16gb came from....its a 4.1 in screen... it will be released with 2.1 but ready to update to 2.2... theres also a couple of new apps being tested on it that are very cool and will give it a big differentiator when it goes to market...

Is it better to have the TI 1Ghz or the Qualcom snapdragon? I have the incredible now, but the larger screen and HD video recording is nice additions that may make me reach for another upgrade, Dang Verizon always sucks me in, even still, I WORK HERE! Well I think its clear to say Android has officially saturated the market, and although iPhone still makes a sliver in the heel of these websites news blogs, it is undoubtidly NOT the cream of the crop any more.

He invented the phone, wrote the Android OS, and owns Verizon Wireless... Give him a break... It's all rumors and people shoudl be confident when spreading rumors.

How can you get 1 photo of the device up close and not take the time to give full 360 of the device...Its so stupid, your neck is already on the line , give us a face shot, and a shot of the back, or the battery inside, show us the model number!

where did you hear that it didnt have a hardware keyboard wnna? If you look at the shot, you can clearly see above and below the screen that its on a seperate piece of hardware. It could just be a design thing, and it could quite easily be a slide out mechanism. If its a DROID replacement, its gonna have a keyboard. It wouldnt make sence otherwise.

It doesn't look like it has a keyboard... Doesn't look like there would be enough room for the battery, processor, etc... Pictures can be deceiving though.

No one ever said it was a "replacement"...could just be another motorola option. second gen. of the motorola droid may be in the works...

well if it is in fact MOTOBLUR...then i hope it's reworked from scratch to give it the same class of quality as Sense and i hope the update for the Devour brings it. ^^

Yar. My Cliq XT is 4 weeks old and is totally outdated. :) I bought it outdated, hell it launched outdated. All I can hope for is the 2.1 update. :) I guess I shouldn't say it launched outdated, I forgot there are mid-class android phones, they're not all high end phones.

Here is what I think. I think either VZW or motorola wanted some pics and info to leak. You have HTC EVO that is going to be released here shortly and the iphone shortly there after. So they are leaving bread crumbs so you will wait to see the phone that VZW has up there sleeves. My guess is that they are going to release it late June early July. I bet that there will be teaser commercials that launch during the NBA playoffs. Just like the DROID had commercials appear in the MLB playoffs. My guess is that Verizon will not release it with 2.1. There new ads will probably be centered around the fact that it will be the first phone to come out with 2.2. Just like the DROID was the first to boast about it having 2.0. Thats just my opinion.

Sucks that it doesn't have a 1 GHz processor; I have the Incredible and was almost hoping that this thing would have the Snapdragon so I could restock the Incredible and get the Shadow...however, if the battery life on this thing sucks and/or its signal reading sucks (like the Incredible - it gets signal but it never shows an accurate bar count, etc)., then I'll know I made the right choice.

How is the incredible with battery life? My Iphone sucks if I use Pandora,3g, and bluetooth stereo. I can get alittle over 7 hours.
