Motorola might be getting ready to pick itself up off the canvas and rejoin the smartphone fight.
The Boy Genius Report got its hands on some information and photos of Motorola's supposed first Android phone, codenamed Calgary. If the information is correct, it's a slider phone with a QWERTY keyboard that will appear on the US Verizon network at some point later this year.
Motorola has been essentially sitting out the last year or so of the smartphone market as the company tries to figure out whether or not it actually wants to be in that business. But the company was an early backer of Google's Android project, and has been rumoured for some time to be working on Android-powered handsets.
Word in the blogosphere is that T-Mobile USA will include a Google Android phone as part of its nationwide 3G wireless network launch later this year in the US.
