These handsets will be launched with two major carriers in North America, and multiple carriers outside the U.S. According to media speculation, the two US carriers will be T-Mobile and Verizon, and these devices will have different designs but will supposedly both have touchscreens and sliding, QWERTY keyboards. Jha said, "We have plans for several additional Android-based devices in the first quarter of 2010." Jha further reveals his company's plan is to make inexpensive phones running Google operating system. "Our core strategy really is to take Android... as low down the feature phone tier as we possibly can." As part of this effort, Motorola will release phones for Sprint's pre-paid service Boost Mobile, which uses the iDEN networking technology. Nevertheless, it doesn't plan to have it's low-cost models run a "vanilla" version of Android, but have a custom user interface that will "simplify mobile communications with integrated contact and message management, multimedia and social collaboration," according to Jha.
