Motorola Morrison Specs Out

Aug 9 2009, 12:50pm CDT | by Robert Evans

Oh me, oh my. The folks at Android and Me have gotten a hold of the spec list for the upcoming Motorola Morrison. In case you've been living under a rock without a 3G connection for the past few months, Motorola has two new Android smartphones hitting in 2009. One is the Sholes and the other is the Morrison.

The Morrison will be a budget handset, but it's still a pretty solid little smartphone. It's got a Qualcomm 528 MHz CPU, just like the G1. It also has 256 MB of RAM, which is head-and-shoulders above the G1, plus 512 MB of flash memory. The Morrison comes with microSDHC support (32GB), a 320x480 HVGA display, an accelerometer, magnetometer, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, and a 5 MP camera with autofocus, white balance, Geotagging, and video recording. It also packs a GPS, 3G support, and WiFi.

Current rumors have the Morrison hitting on October 21st, price has not yet been announced. It's very possible this smartphone will come free/under $100 with a 2 year plan. If this is what counts as a kid's smartphone today, I am seriously jealous.
