Motorola EX225 could be next ‘Facebook phone’

The Motorola EX225 has been revealed by the Bluetooth SIG and images of the phone show a dedicated Facebook button. The EX225 looks nearly identical to the HTC Status and, like that phone, is expected to offer a fully Facebook-integrated user interface, a 2.4-inch touchscreen display and a full QWERTY keyboard. In August, a report suggested that AT&T was going to discontinue the Status after the phone failed to attract a substantial customer base but AT&T immediately dispel the rumor, stating “The HTC Status is a great product and our plans for it to be part of our portfolio haven’t changed.” Now, it looks like other companies will try to follow HTC’s lead. A second image of the EX225 suggests Motorola also has plans for a version of the phone without a Facebook button, and that version could launch as a dual-SIM device. The second image follows below.

        ,, awesomeee,, I just got a $829.99 iPad2 for only $103.37 and my mom got a $1499.99 HDTV for only $251.92, they are both coming with USPS tomorrow. I would be an idiot to ever pay full retail prîces at places like Walmart or Bestbuy. I sold a 37″ HDTV to my boss for $600 that I only paid $78.24 for.

      A monolithic window?  I think you mean “monolithic kernel.”  Please get the words right before you parrot technical arguments that you (clearly) don’t understand.

    There are no ANDROID buttons, so it’s not an ANDROID phone. There are also no navigation keys. Weird.

    Wow, is anyone surprised that Motorola doesn’t make money off of phone sales?! Motorola’s designers should be designing phones for blind people instead.

    Look I like Qwerty keyboards when they’re available but releasing a “Facebook phone” is beyond stupid. What next a Google+ phone? Oh wait, that’s what Googorola is producing next year along with Nexus Mach 4.
