Motorola has confirmed that it has a range of handsets based around Google's open-source Android platform in the pipeline, and may be boosting staff to accomodate.

i'm glad they're going this route.. I don't think I'd want a RAZOR over the HTC phone though.. Let's hope they come out with some good stuff

I think that using or even pushing the 'Android' os to the phones such as the razor will definatly help push the services/offerings of the phone providers. Even if you can't type as easy, or even have a touch screen on a razor, it will definatly help the users of such providers as metropcs. That currently have no 'smart' phones available to use on their service. Even though I have heard of some people changing firmware on some of the smart phones to work on these smaller providers, the functionality is very limited.
I can only hope that I will be able to use a fully functional smart phone on metropcs isp, by using a nice 'Android' phone. The way I see it, if you can get an 'Android' razor to work on any service, then the phone model itself will cease to be an issue with any provider.
