I live in China and I have purchased the XT701. Regarding the mobile phone market and context in China, i only have one thing to says: IPHONE KILLER.
An Iphone 3GS 6Gb (here is priced at 6000RMB (610 Euros), while its direct competitor, and my choice, is tagged at 4299 RMB 4299 (440 euros).
On the top of it, I have added a 16Gb Micro SDHC card for only 30 euros.
Price wise, it is the best. Experience wise, definitely faster than the IPHONE.
As a conclusion, with Android system, Apple and Apple lover should realize that over-priced products do not mean quality. They just pay for an intensive and addicting marketing.
Looking forward to new surprises with Android.
Only, one drawback: no Android Market on android mobile sold in China.

[...] Barron’s also reports that Verizon may announce a phone which features an OLED display and soft keyboard. The Motorola Devour is the next device we were expecting on Verizon and it actually features a physical keyboard. Either the Barron’s report is wrong, or Motorola has another device lined up (like a retooled model headed for China). [...]

I like this Motorola XT701.Moto’s been making waves in China where it enjoys comparably high popularity — it was one of the first major manufacturers to throw its support behind the nation’s homegrown TD-SCDMA 3G tech, after all, and it’s had a tendency to get the company’s sexier WinMo smartphones like the surf.

What I want to know is..what’s with the phones coming with built in FM radios? To me that’s such a waste of a feature, especially with all the music apps

Or you could have just done some research before buying it, and known that it had a pitiful spec sheet.

yeah but you’ll also need bigger pants :)

I don’t care what phone made by who. It better have a physical keyboard for my huge fingers or I won’t buy it. I have not found one soft keyboard that I am able to use easily. Matter of fact my G1 is too small overall. I need a phone I can grab and hold on to. With a bigger phone, give me a bigger screen. 3.7″ doesn’t cut it.

The Sholes tablet looks like a winner to me. I actually like that funky notification part on the bottom right of the phone. Also the camera on it is something I’ve really been waiting for on an android phone. Right now I am using a g1 which has a poor camera.

Motorola MT710 looks good so does the Sholes Tablet one

i saw specs on the cliq over a month before the release actually
