The latest in Motorola’s line of fully expose front-facing QWERTY Android smartphones, the Motorola Fire, is now available for pre-order from Clove. Priced at £216 including VAT, the successor to the Motorola Pro is listed with first stock due “late September”. Now that we have a release date and price, let’s dive into the feature list.
Last week we announced the dual-SIM Motorola Fire XT — think of the Fire as its younger brother. Instead of a 3.5-inch HVGA touchscreen, the Fire includes a 2.8-inch display. Like the Fire XT, the Fire runs Google’s latest — Android Gingerbread. A slightly smaller 1420 mAh battery (down from 1540 mAh), front facing camera and 3-megapixel camera (instead of 5-megapixel) round out the highlights.
Other standard features include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G connectivity and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The Motorola Fire also includes company’s ‘Moto Switch’ user interface which allows switching between a mode for work and a mode for friends. If you’re looking for an affordable Android Gingerbread smartphone with a hardware QWERTY keyboard, it doesn’t get much better than this.
