Its DEXT Day- Motorola is back with force
Motorola fired back into the market today with its gun’s blazing!
MOTO launched an opening salvo right into the path of HTC by debuting its newly minted Dext Handset on the Orange Network. HTC can’t be too happy about this, as the launch of this exciting device will not doubt overshadow the launch of its forthcoming Pay-As-You-Go HTC Tattoo phone over on Vodafone.
From today, Orange has promised us we will be able to pick up the handset from any Orange/ Phones4U or online shop and begin to enjoy the eye candy that is Motoblur ( check it out here)
If you want to see it in actionn or find out more check out the Motorola Dext online Demo or their Facebook page.
Being a G1 owner, I must admit, this is the first phone to have me genuinely excited and I was half contemplating going to collect one from the newly launched Orange multimedia store in Milton Keynes yesterday.
This handset has the distinct advantage of having Motorola’s unique Motoblur customization of Android which promises unified messaging (across facebook, twitter and email) as well as other benefits including backup and security in addition to the best of breed services from the most popular apps from the Market.
The main advantage of this phone is that it is the second UK handset released in the UK to sport a slide out qwerty keyboard. Coupled with the 5MP camera, this phone is a great debut for Motorola and seriously has me looking putting my G1 into my freecycle pile.
Look out for a detailed review of the handset in the next 2 weeks!

The HTC Tattoo is only available on a contract on Vodafone, it’s not available on PAYG.
Personally I’m looking towards the Samsung Moment as a G1 replacement because I’m not convinced that having the direction pad on the slide out keyboard is going to work too well (I tend to use the trackball on my G1 when browsing to select small links).
Too Right Al, well spotted. Looks like I got confused with the tmobile pulse.( which isn’t even an HTC Phone!)
I guess the excitement for the new phone clouded my judgement!
I bet you a drink though, that the Tattoo comes out as a PAYG phone in the next few months?
