The last phone in that leaked Motorola roadmap (first image below) has finally been spotted in the wild. The Zepellin (second image) is said to me launching on T-Mobile US on March 10th, packing March 10th release date. 3.2-inch display, 5 MP cam, GPS, and MotoBlur.

Motorola announced its third Android in Asia and sixth worldwide today, joining the Zhishan, Zhiling, Backflip, Droid and Cliq/Dext in the company’s Android portfolio. Features include 3.7 inch, high-definition WVGA (480X854) display; an 8 megapixel camera with Xenon flash and a 720p HD camcorder; HDMI-out; Wi-Fi (duh); 3.5mm audio jack; internal storage up to 8GB and SD support up to 32. Pinch and zoom support plus five distinct text input options put this device right near the top of the Android heap. Or should I say, “hip?” nm

The phone we used to know as Motorola’s Calgary is now Devour and we already knew that it would be Verizon’s cheap alternative to the Droid. Motoblur was also widely suspected, but we haven’t expected a silver device since those very early concept leaks. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi have been confirmed, so a lower screen rez, weaker specs, and the 3MP cam are likely what make this a budget phone. Here she is:

This is preliminary leaked info, so pretty much everything is subject to change. Still, what we’re seeing makes sense and lines up with FCC docs so this is probably at least close to what we can expect in the final product. Android and Me has posted the image below, which depicts a phone with a reverse keyboard – i.e., when the phone is closed, a QWERTY is seen from the back. Their tipster also gives the appropriate name, Backflip.

This is being presented as a successor to the Cliq. Just last night – my first with a Cliq – I was thinking about the follow-up, concluding that I really like MotoBlur. It just needs, in my opinion, some graphical polish and a larger, higher-rez screen. If the specs presented with the leak (seen after the break) are correct, there really isn’t a big difference between Cliq and Backflip outside of the physical design. Bummer. We already knew the resolution, thanks to a leaked Moto roadmap, but a couple of surprizes on the spec sheet would have been nice. I’d also like to see staggered keys, but I’m actually pretty happy with the Cliq keyboard. This one is expected Q1, 2010.
