Motorola Edison Drops PenTile Pixels and LTE, Gets Shutter Button

You are in an Android Post

There's been a lot of buzz lately around the Motorola Edison -- often referred to as the Atrix 2 -- for AT&T. It was initially tipped by webtop code and then passed FCC without LTE mention just to smile for the camera more recently bragging its specs.

Thanks to an early hands-on we now know that the Edison dropped the PenTile display on its qHD screen to display text that is more crisp but unfortunately there comes confirmation of dropped LTE support too. The Edison will max out at HSPA+ on the network but those who take a lot of pictures will be glad to find out there's a camera button dedicated on the phone. The 1GHz Texas Instruments OMAP processor is fast but not among the top CPUs; it scored 2,201 in Quadrant which is pretty much the lower end of the top list.

Motorola Edison MB865 At FCC En-Route To AT&T Sans LTE

You are in an Android Post

We wondered whether the Motorola MB865 could be AT&T's first LTE-enabled phone back at the beginning of August and then, more recently and seemingly completely unrelated, the Motorola Edison was tipped by code from the Webtop.

From an FCC filing we learn that the MB865 and the Edison are one and the same device. The Edison is reportedly the Atrix refresh, with probably a larger resolution screen. What's more interesting though is that the FCC filing doesn't mention LTE compatibility at all. While there's still time to submit a related sample with an updated LTE radio, chances are that the Edison, as seen in the filing, will not be LTE compatible.

Motorola Edison Tipped By Webtop Code

You are in an Android Post

Hidden within the Webtop software for the new Motorola Bionic lies a bit of code that contains a list of Motorola hardware with Webtop compatibility. It uses device code names instead of their retail monikers, but it doesn't take much time to figure out that the Olympus, Sunfire, and Targa (in case you've forgotten) are the Atrix, Photon, and Bionic. Beyond those phones though, there are two other entries in the list that could be tipping us off to the existence of additional Webtop-compatible Motorola Androids.

First off in the list, right after the Olympus, is "Common". This is all speculation at this point, but there's talk that Common is just a placeholder or an entry referring to any Webtop-using smartphone. That definitely makes sense, but just makes us all the more aware of how surreal some phone names are getting ? even the Motorola Default or Motorola Placeholder might give us a few moment's pause before realizing the intent behind them.

The other new name is one that really sounds like an actual handset: the Motorola Edison. The name itself doesn't evoke that of any Motorola Android we're familiar with (like Sunfire and Photon are sort-of related), so it could any of several Motorolas on the horizon: the Atrix-refresh for AT&T LTE, maybe even the Droid RAZR that just crossed our path?
