We do hate using question marks in headlines, but we really do need to cover our arses on this one – as it’s being reported by “found goods” specialist Gizmodo today.
This time, the cover story says this unknown slimline Motorola Android phone was discovered lost in a gym, whereupon the surprisingly tech-savvy gym employee took a few photos and identified the phone as a 4.3″ Snapdragon-powered Android phone complete with HDMI output.
Hmm. We weren’t there. We can’t argue. Here’s the photo:
Looks rather nice, like a slimmed down DROID/MILESTONE and not a million miles away from the superbly industrial HTC DROID Incredible. Finally, a Motorola we could love – or at least live with and not mind being seen operating.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.

Any moron can see this is just Apple and Motorola up to their stupid marketing stunts, leaving phones in public places for journalists to “accidentally” discover.
