Motorola Bali Cell Phone Review–Not As Sunny As Implied
I’m really not sure why Motorola saw fit to call a cell phone the Bali, because this has about as much to do with the tropical port as I have to do with supermodels. But that’s what they’ve chosen to call this phone, and that’s what we’re left to deal with. We’re talking about the Motorola Bali, and it’s not going to be anywhere near as sunny and bright as the name would imply.
The Motorola Bali is a folder-style phone that offers a music player, a six hundred entry phone book, text and multimedia messenging, 1.3 megapixel camera, world clock, calculator, notepad, GPS, Bluetooth connectivity, mobile web, mobile email with support for several webmail services like Gmail and Hotmail, compatibility with the major instant messenging suites (Yahoo IM, AOL IM and Windows Live Messenger), a microSD card slot (great with that music player, but it only accepts a maximum of four gig cards), a variety of downloadable options and a battery that yields five hours of talk time on a single charge.
You’d be surprised what’s all in here–granted, this will never be mistaken for an iPhone, but it will offer many of the basics, and that’s definitely a good start. But, as is often the case with smaller phones, it’s got a badly cramped set of controls. Like I said, it’s definitely not as sunny as the name implies, but it’s still got a few good tricks up its sleeve.
If you want simple, then you should certainly spare a thought for the Motorola Bali.
The Good
A surprising array of features
Decent battery life
The Bad
Compressed controls
Ridiculous name
Score 6 / 10

Supposed Pictures of the Motorola XT300 Surface
While T-Mobile was the pioneering carrier in the Android world with the launch of the first ever device powered by the platform dubbed the T-Mobile G1, Verizon is really the company that helped make Google’s Android what it is today. If it wasn’t for the Motorola Droid and the immense marketing push behind it, Android may not have become as popular with competiting platforms instead running the show.
Today, another device seemingly powreed by Android hast turned up dubbed the Motorola XT300. According to our sources, this device will be a lower end Androdi powered device for Verizon Wireless and will feature a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and a form factor similar to the Palm Pre.
Of course, seeing how this is a leak there is no official confirmation that comes with it so sit tight until either Motorola or Verizon say more.

Motorola Announces Ming A1680, MT810 and X806 For Chinese Market
Just because Android is all the rage here in the United States doesn’t mean our international brethren aren’t getting any love. In fact, Motorola has come forth today to announce a whole slew of handsets for China Unicom and China Telecom, two of China’s biggest wireless carriers.
First up is the MT810 running on China’s TD-SCDMA bands with the OPhone 2.0 mobile operating system, a 3.2-inch resistive touchscreen display and a transparent capacitive cover that, when closed, will allow users to easily manipulate the screen with a finger. Also on board in terms of features is 720p video capture and playback.
Next up is the XT806 which features similar specs except runs Android 2.1 complete with 720p video capture/playback, GPS and CDMA/EVDO/GSM connectivity.
Last, but not least, is the A1680 for China Unicom which features a 3.1-inch AMOLED touchscreen display, support for WAPI WiFi, GPS, Motorola’s SoftStylus handwriting recognition software and a 5 megapixel camera.
No word on if these will ever make their way to the United States but something tells me they won’t be.
