Motorola has introduced the MOTOROI, the first smart phone in Korea to be powered by Android version 2.0.


"We are delighted to announce MOTOROI, the first Android-based phone, with SK Telecom in Korea, a key partner in one of Motorola's key markets in the world," said Sanjay Jha, co-chief executive officer of Motorola and chief executive officer of Motorola Mobile Devices. "MOTOROI is a smart phone without compromise, delivering a wiser, richer web and messaging experience with the most delightful touch-interface you have ever experienced, all made possible through the combination of Motorola's expertise in design, a truly differentiated Android experience, and the power of SK Telecom's network."

MOTOROI features a full touch screen with a 3.7-inch, high-definition WVGA (480X854) display, Motorola's touch user interface (UI) and a capacitive touch sensor for smooth screen flipping and scrolling, and five main displays with various widgets with more freedom than ever before.
