14 DAY TRIAL // It looks like Motorola is about to become the fourth company to launch its own Facebook phone, after HTC, INQ and more recently Vodafone, have released similar handsets.
Although the company has yet to make it official, the guys over at UnwiredView discovered the Motorola EX225 mobile phone within the Bluetooth SIG database.
Fortunately, a small picture showing the EX225 is also attached to the phone's short specs sheet, which can be found at Bluetooth SIG.
Based on what's showed in the picture we can safely assume that the handset will be delivered with a dedicated Facebook button.
There are no Android-specific keys on the front of the phone which indicates that the EX225 might be running a different operating system, such as BREW.
According to the documents leaked, Motorola EX225 features a 2.4-inch display, but there's no indication that this is a touchscreen or just a regular one.
Furthermore, the phone comes with a full portrait QWERTY keyboard, as well as rich Facebook integration in the user interface.
In addition, the phone is 3G enabled and sports an average 3-megapixel camera with autofocus, but no LED flash.
Given the phone's descriptions, it seems that the EX225 is aimed at youngsters and is likely to be priced accordingly: “product for trendy generation who enjoy connecting to the world anytime, anywhere, and multimedia services on the go, all easy as via a fully personalized UI.”
On related news, the guys at UnwiredView also spotted a slightly modified version of the Motorola EX225, dubbed EX226, which will be delivered with dual-SIM capability, but without the dedicated Facebook button.
Obviously, there is no information regarding the phone's price tag or launch date, but according to Blueooth SIG's documents the phone will be available worldwide, including Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America.
