Doubtful Gadget of the Day: Motorola MB511 (codenamed Ruth?)

Saturday, May 15, 2010

I received an interesting email this afternoon: a complete lineup of releases from several manufacturers between April and July of a given operator, and one of the details was this tiny little cutie the photo above: Motorola MB511, code named "Ruth." For its part, Motorola says it "does not comment on speculation." We'll have to wait until June to see if it's true ...

The name "Ruth" is nothing new: there are rumors about this device for some time. But it is the first time he shows his face, and seems to have a five-row QWERTY keyboard and a screen very large, apparently higher than the Milestone (contradicting what the rumors said initial). It even has a microUSB port there, in what may be the bottom of the unit.

The email also had this slide, proving that he brings MotoBlur (which may indicate Android 1.5 in piece):

The MB511 "Ruth," according to the slide operator, is the fifth player to be launched by it between May and June (the list also appear X10 Sony Ericsson, the first to arrive, and X10 mini Sony Ericsson, LG GT 540 MB501 Quench and Motorola, all scheduled for June, along with the MB511).

The check, of course, if the device is real. As I said, Motorola does not comment on rumors own.

Update: The term "Ruth" is somewhat controversial: the FlipOut, Gizmodo said that this week, uses the same code name, but I seem to have a reduced format that MB511 which came to my email. And the term "slider" is somewhat generic and applies to both pro MB511 as pro Flipout, right?
