Motorola FIRE Price Revealed for UK, Due in September

Motorola Android phones are very well known around the world and they recently launched a new Android phone with portrait QWERTY Keyboard, which is known as Motorola XT316. Phones with portrait keyboard and touchscreen are becoming famous now a days, like recently we saw the LG Optimus Proand Samsung Galaxy Pro, and now the Motorola XT316 which is hitting UK where it will be launched by Clove UK and they changed the name to Motorola FIRE. The device is due later this September and it will go for £180 + VAT (£216 after adding VAT). Clove UK will offer the SIM-free version but if you interested in the XT531 which is actually a touchscreen-only variant of FIRE, then unfortunately Clove isn’t getting it but probably users will be able to get it from UK mobile networks.

FIRE seems to be a very good entry level device and it’s up for pre-order on Clove store. Anyway, have a look on the specs:

• Front Facing QWERTY keyboard
• Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
• 2.8” Touch screen
• 3MP Camera
• Wi-Fi
• Bluetooth
• 3G
• 1420mAh Battery

So who’s planning to get one from Clove UK?

Nokia N9 countdown has begun

Nokia has just provided the first concrete indication for the launch date of its critically beloved (but strategically doomed) handset, the N9. A countdown has emerged on the dedicated Swedish site for the MeeGo smartphone, pointing to 10AM on September 23rd as the crucial time. Below the ticking digits, there’s also an invitation to become one of 30 “N9 Pilots,” who’ll be a lucky group of testers that get to enjoy the N9 in September and even keep it when they’re finished.
