Rogers has just launched its first Android smartphone from Motorola, the Motorola Quench (already available at T-Mobile USA as Motorola Cliq XT).
The Quench is Motorola’s only MotoBlur handset to come without a hardware QWERTY keyboard. Unfortunately, it runs Android 1.5 , however, it will probably be updated to Android 2.1 soon.
The handset features a 3.1 HVGA capacitive touchscreen display, 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS, digital compass, 3.5mm headset jack, 5MP autofocus camera, 512MB ROM, 256MB RAM and MicroSD card support. All in all, a well-equipped device.
You can buy Rogers’s Motorola Quench online for $49.99 with a 3-yr contract agreement, or for $424.99 free of contract. This hands-on video preview of the Motorola Quench might help you decide whether the phone is for you or not.
