The recent Android smart phone blitz carries on as Motorola delivers the power of Android in its new compact design. Aimed at being an affordable low-end smart phone, the Bravo, still offers some high end features such as a 800 MHz processor and it also runs on Android 2.1.
Making the Motorola BRAVO somewhat distinctive, the company included the latest version of Motorola's MOTOBLUR UI, which makes it easier to deal with communications such as emails and updates in one space. And being Android powered, the Motorola BRAVO puts forward Google applications such as Google Search and Gmail, which are integrated on to the device. Measuring 109.5 x 63 x 13.3 mm and weighing just 122 grams, the new smart phone offers 3G HSDPA 850/1900; Adobe Flash 10.1 support; 480 x 854 pixels FWVGA 16 million color capable display, 2GB internal memory, 512-MB Flash memory and pinch and zoom and double tap features.
What's more, Motorola's smart phone is WCDMA 850/1900 GSM 850/900/1800/1900 and 3G HSDPA network ready. And for data connectivity, it adds in Stereo Bluetooth v2.1 EDR with A2DP, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n wireless networking with DLNA, GPRS class 12, EDGE class 12, 3G HSDPA 7.2 Mbps and a 3G HSUPA 2.0 Mbps connection. The device also features a 3.15 MP digital camera with digital zoom lens, auto-focus, Geo-tagging and image stabilization.
Accessories include chargers, covers, headsets, batteries and belt clips. Specifically a Motorola Ferrari Micro USB Vehicle Charger for Motorola BRAVO, a Motorola Bluetooth Headset for Motorola BRAVO, a Wireless USB Vehicle Charger and an Amzer Zipper Neck Lanyard with Compass-Grey for Motorola BRAVO are available. It is also a good idea to protect your device with a case. The cases come in many different colors, materials and shapes and sizes and materials that include leather, metal, silicone and plastic. The cases also come in alligator or ostrich. The screen protector, which keep fingerprints off the screen and prevent the smart phone from getting dirty too quickly, range from the low end $3.95 for Plantronics Multi-Purpose Sanitizing Towelette Set to the $19.95 ZAGG ZAGGFoam for Motorola BRAVO.
A group of analysts stated that the global market for mobile phones has increased by 35% in the third quarter, raising smart phone sales to nearly 100%. The analysts pointed toward Google's open source Android operating system as the biggest advancer with a jump from 3.5 percent in the third quarter of 2009 to 25.5 percent this year. End users purchased 20.5 million Android devices in the third quarter compared to Apple which posted sales of 13.5 million units. Apple still managed to hold on to the number one spot, but were closely followed by Samsung then Motorola.
