Motorola A1000 - Symbian UIQ handset

Published by at

Last year when Motorola's roadmap was leaked there were mentions of Paragon II which was said to be the sucessor to the Motorola A920 and A925. AAS has received a tipoff giving more information about the forthcoming Motorola A1000 which is likely also known as Paragon II. The A1000 is a UIQ Symbian phone. Notable features include a 1.2 megapixel camera, 3G support (WCDMA), and GPS support.


Please note this news remains speculative as there have been no official announcements.

It is unclear whether the withdrawal of Motorola from Symbian share holding will impact on this phone. Motorola does hold a Symbian liscense, but most analysts did not expect more Symbian phones from Motorola. However the release of this phone would fit in with Motorola's statement (after selling it's shares) that it intended to keep using Symbian in its high end 3G phones.

We'll keep you updated as more news becomes available.
