What's the OMAP 4460....1.5 dual core? If so, yes it should be 50% faster than the Tegra 2 on paper....
[Atrix 4G General] Magicmann:

Wrong. I think people are forgetting that google did pick this up for themselves, but they paid a premium for it and are still a corporation. Corporations operate on making profits. In other words, the company i work for is getting windows motorola phone with a lot of blah blah blah enterprise crap. We were looking at them today online and they were wondering wth we need fingerprint scanners for. Reached in my pocket. Tadaaaaa!

I voided my warranty.
[Atrix 4G General] KingKuba13:
ICS, yeah, hope it's a little better than GB, people get way to excited over nothing.

omap 4460, meh, nothing special. where's quad-core 2ghz?? Tegra 3??

I actually like the buttons.

Better have 2gb Ram, which it won't but it should.

So if Samsung makes it, no led notification, weak gps and all that goodness.
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
It's not that. HTC doesn't have as many patents as Moto that's all.

This is more of Google finally getting tired of Steve Jobs pressing the "Patent Button Lawsuit" one too many times...
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
It's only a matter of time before Microsoft "Officially" buys Nokia.

And then Elop will have some serious questions to answer...
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
BLN is just fine, if not better.

Also the GPS issue with Samsung is truly gone. They are using "Angry GPS" now (I'm not making that name up) and IMHO I'm getting faster and more accurate results on my SGS with GPS right now even over my Atrix...
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
I would like to know if this changes the way things have gone so far in regards to payouts from Google to other companies. Up until now, Microsoft has literally made more money from Android than WP7. I would like elgooG revisit some of these judgments and get them overturned.
[Atrix 4G General] dragon_76:
Yes but during that time companies collaborate to make the transition smooth. To be sure Google will be working to update Motorola phones to GB and ICS for all that can feasibly support it. It behooves Google to have more phones on newer OS.
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
Really exciting news. :D There are so many possibilities coming out of this, that all we can do is speculate.

I guess all the years of me investing in Motorola have paid off (see my sig) :D
[Atrix 4G General] wrayrb:
Keep in mind that MS was trying to buy Moto, for its patents. So Google did a pre-emptive buyout to prevent MS from gaining all the Moto patents. I read something like 17,000 and another 7,000 or so pending.

Since MS like lawsuits, this would have put all the Android phone makers at risk. Now Google has a treasure trove to use in defense.

It will be interesting to see if adding a hardware manufacturer to Google improves Google or if they just turn around and sell of the hardware side. I doubt that would happen since Google+Moto HW would be awesome.

LMFAO!!! Ice Cream Sandwich??? Seriously? Like any of the updates have been that big of a deal. There hasn't been a big update for Android since Froyo and it was all behind the scenes. Ice Cream Sandwich is NOT that big of a deal.

As far as the other stuf, meh, they'll be other phones with that before the next Nexus comes out i'll almost guarantee. Seriously, weak!
[Atrix 4G General] 2leaponover1:
Nope, not at all...
[Atrix 4G General] Swiftks:
Can you please point me to one.... any phone that is scheduled to come out on multiple carriers that has 1.5GHz dual core, plus a full 720p screen. I will wait patiently for your response. And in case you haven't heard, which it sounds like you haven't, Ice Cream Sandwich OS is supposed to be the biggest change since eclair was... revamping the notification bar, etc.

Here you are just showing your ignorance.

I hate to resurrect a thread from over a year ago, but I've been doing some research and found it interesting that Google (pioneers of open source) bought out the mobility unit of the least root-friendly devices...

I completely agree that the patents were a motiviation here, but I just wanted to state that observation.

Now that Google is moving into the telecom field with their fiber network, it doesn't seem too far fetched that they could start being a carrier...

Hardware, software, and carrier? Google = Skynet?

Now I'm just getting ahead of myself :eek:

Wow. This costs more than the nortel patents, but it actually gives google something concrete, not just ammunition against patent trolls. The big change this shows though is google stepping into the hardware side. The questions are:

2: will google customer service improve? I haven't dealt with motorola before so I dunno how they handle customers.

I wouldn't count on them supporting such an "old" device. I guess it would only be noticable on future devices. Does this move turn them automatically in GEDs?
[Defy General] derLukers:
I hope they do, but i don't think they will unlock the bootloaders.

I'm sure, they want to have only Android running on their phones, and opening up the bootloaders, also lets you install other operating systems :/

But, as i already said, i hope they still unlock the bootloaders.
[Defy General] arpith.fbi:

so cant say what they will do
[Defy General] cvfl:
Yeah - I'm hoping it's that they strip Blur out. In the absence of that, at least replace the components with leaner services from The Goog.

Let's just hope they don't decide to make Blur into an Android-wide "feature". :eek:

Not sure to understand what part of this is such good news, but you might be interested in reading this: http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/15/motorola-defy-leaves-the-gym-coming-this-fall-with-slightly-mo/

[Defy General] marhensa:
there's only three differences

for comparing:

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/Motorola-DEFY,Motorola-DEFY/phones/5728,4875

OS: Android 2.3 // Android 2.2

Processor: TI OMAP 3620 @1000 MHz // TI OMAP 3610 @800 MHz

Battery: Li-Ion 1700 mAh // Li-Ion 1540 mAh

-------------------------------------

so far,

our Defy is using Android 2.3.5 by Official CM7 + briliant active devs like Quarx and Epsylon3 (it is important to have devs like this),

and also we get our Defy clocked at 1 GHz on CM7

the only main differences is battery, hope that battery can be used on our Defy.

[Defy General] [] AL []:
And you quote-reply me for?

My reply [me saying I don't understand why it is such a good news] had nothing to do w Defy vs Defy+.

My point was that I don't see in what sense the news of Google buying Motorola being such a good news for someone planing to by a Defy...

The 2nd part of my reply was more for people hoping that the acquisition will make GB (or Ice Cream) come faster to their phones by official OTA update.

The fact that Defy+ is coming out soon is not necessarily a good news in itself for 1st generation Defy owners either. Only time will tell if the bootloader gets unlocked on both phones and if Motorola will not use some of its 'magic' to render the new + firmware unusable on the Defy....

As far as the main subject of the thread goes, Samsung, HTC and other competitors/partners have replied favorably to the announcement: that might be a positive note...but did they really have a choice to reply that way..?? I doubt so..
[Defy General] dheeraj_hotmale:
No point in commenting over it as even Google might not have made their decision of what they will do with DEFY
[Defy General] gkai:
The answer of all the android partners looks very similar, it is almost a copy and paste. Makes me think that they got the news before anyone else, and made a concerted choice for their reaction. I think that they do not really consider googorola a threat, at least for now, because clearly this buy out is seen as a way to gather some patents. Now Google has a patent portfolio that should put it in the same league as Nokia+microsoft, and probably above Apple. The 3 big ones have imho reached a stage of patent cold war, where they do not necessarily have the same number of patent, but each have enough to reach a state of equilibrium through fear of mutual destruction. This is seen as positive from Samsung, HTC and other smaller player which can not really stand against apple in US courts. Motorola may be a competitor, but more like a side threat: do not customize too much, do not mess too much with the os upgrade, and do not fragment android too much...cause moto is making vanilla handsets and you better offer something at least equal in term of performance/price than the phones coming from your os provider. I do not think that it is in the interest of google to abuse this position.
[Defy General] [] AL []:
Google had another ace hidden in their sleeve in doing this acquisition that not too many reporters picked up:

Moto along with Cisco, pretty much rule the digital cable TV box market manufacturing in North America. That means that big G is getting a 2 billion$/yr income from that and most importantly, a real shot at finally getting GoogleTV to take off and get into many livingrooms quickly and easily. They previously tried partnerships with TV manufacturers and it didn't quite give results, but if it's integrated in your cable box....

Some say that this is where the real game is at this point...not hard to imagine when you see Netflix's and alike success.

Where and what will ever stop Google?
[Defy General] marhensa:
Apple seems want to take down android phone with sueing HTC, Samsung, and other android manufacturer for violating patents.

The smart move from Google is, buying Motorola (even on high price),

because Motorola holds many-many-many of mobile-phone-related patents.

Motorola is like a grandfather of mobile phone manufacturer, of course they have so much patent registered.

If Apple wanna continues to sueing android manufacturer,

of course Google will fight back to defend android,

using Motorola patents to sueing Apple, and those are a lot of patents.
[Defy General] Nemado:
So it was just a defensive move on their part. Well it's not like they would have resurrected our old defy anyway.
[Defy General] [] AL []:
For sure the patent portfolio is a big part of it, but It was not "just" a defensive move for sure; read my post (3rd before yours).

It seems very ostentatious considering Motorola was considering using other OSes not named android and even making their own OS. Collecting all information about Motorola and Google, I think an inferred plan was to slowly transition away from Google Android for more profit. And I repeat, Google buys Motorola. Yeah...This isn't a sign of dominance from google or anything...:rolleyes:

Yes!!!!

Err, what??
[General Topics] Crashdamage:
Well, of course. A tried-and-true method used by Microsoft and others since patents began.

There's another possibility. Instead of charging for the patents they own, Google could strengthen Android's market position even further by offering free usage rights to HTC,Samsung and others if they use Google-approved versions of vanilla Android. That way they can have some control of the (so called) "fragmentation problem" caused in part by Sense, Motoblur and similar overlays without making Android more closed than it already is. The carrot-and-stick approach. Use vanilla Android, we won't charge patent fees.

But my gut feeling is it's maybe ultimately more about hardware and being able to dictate exactly what hardware runs basic Android OS on Google-branded phones, a-la Apple with the iPhone and iOS. Google is not so stupid they haven't noticed the piles of money Apple is making on hardware sales.

http://thenextweb.com/microsoft/201...e-v-bing-slap-fight-explained-piece-by-piece/

when google assumed Microsoft was using their service, they were up in arms ready to sue microsoft and sue any other company that thought they were using their IP. They purchase MM for defense, even though MM wanted to sue google...in a veil attempt to countersue Apple and Microsoft...

Hm, sounds awful familiar. Google continues the same trolling microsoft and apple has done.

savior of humanity

right

Does it give google some fight? Sure. Much fight? Not really. MM still has suits from Microsoft and Apple to contend with. And if anything from the past weeks have shown, Google isn't really good at PR, nor are they good at defense...

[General Topics] lotherius:
As far as Google being a patent troll -- only if they start going out and frivolously trying to sue the competition into the ground.

The fact of the matter is, and Google has admitted this, that even if you don't LIKE the game, you have to PLAY the game, or you get sued back to the stone age. That's the facts. If we want Android phones, then Google has to have a strong patent portfolio, frivolous or no.
[General Topics] ferparedes:
Clarification is in order here. Google has announced that they will acquire Motorola. The deal has not gone through yet, and AFAIK it has to be approved by the US Government, EU and anywhere else they both do business. I expect that the EU will take the longest since they're way more thorough when it comes to privacy and anti-trust issues.

We all know there isn't any, but that doesn't mean they will skip the due-diligence on this.
[General Topics] FloatingFatMan:
Yes, really. Buying a company that was intending to sue them is not being a patent troll. A patent troll is a person/company who patents a concept and then never does anything with it until some other person/company does, then sues them. It's also been defined as a person/company who sues others based on frivolous use of vaguely similar concepts.

Show me where Google is suing anyone for this. If you can't, they're not patent trolls and you fail at reading.

All they've done here is take up a defensive position to protect themselves from lawsuits, and will most likely use the patents they've acquired to work out a cross-licensing deal with Microsoft & Apple to get rid of all of this stupid patent suing garbage.
