Motorola's Third Android Handset SpottedMotorola's Third Android Handset Spotted

If you were wondering what Motorola's third Android handset will look like, wonder no longer. New images have appeared that show a simpler handset that won't match the CLIQ or DROID when it comes to specs.This Android handset from Motorola has been masquerading under the codename "Calgary" for some time now. The Boy Genius (who else) managed to get some hands on with the device.

Similar to the CLIQ and DROID, it is a sideways slider with a touch screen and full QWERTY keyboard. According to the Boy Genius, other specs include a 3 megapixel camera, 3.5mm headset jack, GPS, digital magnetometer, Wi-Fi, and microSD card slot. Other hardware features include three touch-sensitive buttons on the front face of the phone and an optical trackpad.

If you're thinking this will be a killer smartphone, think again. Compared to the specs we know the DROID will have, the Calgary is definitely a step down. Remember, the DROID has a 5 megapixel camera and the Calgary has a 3 megapixel shooter. In all respects, this looks like a mid-market device aimed more at the messaging crowd than a high-end smartphone for power users.

Another interesting move is that the Calgary will run MOTOBLUR, but as far as we know, the DROID will not.

None of this information is official and some of it is subject to change, but the Boy Genius says the device runs well and is pretty decent. You can find pictures here.
