Motorola is preparing an all-touchscreen device marked as MT710 to be released in China Mobile. It comes with a 3.7" WVGA display, 3G and TD-SCDMA network support, and runs OPhone OS (custom Android version), but other than that we have no other details about it. Stay tuned for more info…

Documents found at FCC site revealed some information about the Motorola i680, a rugged clamshell for the Sprint Nextel network. The handset supports 800/900MHz iDEN bands, and has Bluetooth and GPS. Photos show that the i680 also comes with two displays, a camera with flash, microSD card slot and a headset jack. According to the draft user manual, other features include video capture, threaded messaging, audio/video media playback and PTX services.

Sears is currently offering an instant $100 discount, plus an additional $50 off for new Verizon customers signing a 2 year contract for the Motorola DROID. That means you'll have to shell out just $149.99 instead of $300. Sounds like a great deal to us, though we'd expect a larger retailer to offer such a deal.

Oh wait, it's on Wirefly too.

TELUS customers will be the first in Canada to get the new Motorola MILESTONE. The handset should be released in "early 2010", and will remain exclusive for some time. Nice to know that it supports North American 3G bands and multitouch out of the box.

Pricing wasn't announced yet.

Behold the the Motorola Klassic. This new clamshell looks like one of the old MOTORAZR's, which doesn't makle it very appealing in terms of design. In terms of specs the phone also doesn't stand out with anything special, offering 2G support, a 5Mpix camera, and an external touch screen.

It will be available only in Korea. But who cares?

The Android-powered Motorola CLIQ is now available to everyone from T-Mobile through the carrier's retail locations at a price of $199.99 (on contract, of course). Sure, it's not as advanced as the DROID, but is still a decent multimedia handset.

The new Motorola DROID is now the king of Verizon's smartphones.
