Motorola Mobility has just announced the upcoming availability of the XT615 in Taiwan. The handset will be available across the country exclusively from Taiwan Mobile myfone retail stores starting in December for a suggested retail price of NTD$10,900 (360 USD or 265 EUR).

This is the first time we learn about the Motorola XT615, so we can assume that this is a new Android smartphone that is probably aimed at Asian market.

The phone's hardware configuration and price tag suggest that Motorola XT615 is a mid-budget Android smartphone, probably in the same range as the Motorola DEFY, but without the ruggedness.

Advertised as a pretty sleek smartphone, the XT615 is 9.8mm thin and features a large FWVGA 4-inch capacitive touchscreen that supports 16 million colors and 480 x 854 pixels resolution.

The smartphone is powered by Google's Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system and features Moto Switch 2.0 user interface, which allows users to switch between work and personal modes.

Unusual for a mid-range handset, Motorola XT615 boasts an enhance 8-megapixel camera with LED flash and autofocus, as well as secondary VGA front facing camera for video calls and chats.

In the hardware front, the XT615 comes equipped with a standard 800MHz processor, 1 GB ROM, 512 MB RAM and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB).

According to Motorola, the phone's 1390 mAh Li-Ion battery should provide up to 5 hours of talk time or up to 110 hours of standby time.

Motorola has always been about connecting style with technology. The new Motorola XT615 embodies the connection of style and technology with one more great advantage: a price that’s almost too good to be true. Now an amazing combination of power and style is within the reach of more people than ever before,” said Ritchie Ma, general manager of Motorola Mobility Taiwan limited, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
