Motorola intros the MOTOLUXE smartphone
Haven’t you always wanted a smartphone that has a place to attach your favorite lanyard? Motorola must think so as they have just introduced the world to the MOTOLUXE smartphone which is a mid-range handset with a notification light that doubles as a, you guessed it, a place to attach a lanyard.
Motorola intros the MOTOLUXE smartphone

The dedicated lanyard groove, as Motorola calls it, is located at the bottom left of the handset. That is also where the colored lighting for the devices notifications happens to be located. Aside from the added lanyard grove, the MOTOLUXE is an Android 2.3 device with a custom user interface called MotoSwitch. The hardware features a 4-inch, 480x854 display. Powering the smartphone behind the scenes is a single-core 800MHz processor and 512MB of RAM.

Around the back the MOTOLUXE has an 8 megapixel camera with an LED flash. The front of the handset houses a VGA camera to aid in all of your video chatting needs. It also has a 1,400 mAh battery that Motorola claims will give the MOTOLUXE 6.5 hours of talk time.

When the MOTOLUXE launches in February it will be in Europe, China, and Latin America although it is very possible a variation of this device could hit the states later in the year. Check out the video and tell us what you think about the Motorola MOTOLUXE in the comments below.

Now I can turn my smartphone into a keychain, sweet. Smartphones dangling from car ignitions in 2012.

I must have a different definition of "edge-to-edge" display.

Agreed!

Just what we need - a Droid with a slow single core processor, not enough RAM, a low rez dispay, on a 2-year contract. Why not just buy a Droid Incredible on ebay off contract?

because this is newer and newer means better right?

Why the f*ck is this coming out with Gingerbread. ICS has been out for more than a month now. Get on your sh*t Motorola.

Do you not remember how long it took for Gingerbread to show up on a device that wasn't the Nexus S? And now you complain about a month?
And you want it on what is unequivocally a mid-range device? On top of that Motorola already announced a publicly when you could expect ICS. Try to keep up with the news or go away

Edge to edge display? Doesn't look like it.

Lanyard on a mid range smartphone? Anyone remember the HTC bliss?

18. joseg81 posted on 06 Jan 2012, 07:58

i've actually seen a bunch of bliss' around n it actually wasn't a lanyard it had more of charm

1,400 mAh seems a bit small. Or maybe it's acceptable for a 800 mhz single core.

15. rwolf1984 posted on 05 Jan 2012, 21:16

Not a big fan of Motorola, but I like the concept...With devices like the Atrix, Photon, Bionic and now the Droid RAZR they are making an impression in the marketplace.

Give it up to date specs and I might check it out. Anything less than a ghz is pretty unacceptable these days, at least on US carriers.
