If you thought the DROID was pretty tight and the N1 wasn’t quite your cup of tea and were instead looking forward to the next great Android handset, it’d be in your best interest to pass on up this newly leaked Motorola “Ruth”.
According to the user profile, two of the bigger specs — the processor and the display — consist of a Qualcomm MSM7200a processor and QVGA display. They don’t seem too high end do they? The real kicker — or kick in the pants — is that this codenamed “Ruth” will ship…brand new…with Android 1.5. Mind you, even though the Ruth appears to be on the lower end of things, Android 1.5 will be over a year old by the time this device rolls around.
Releasing new hardware with old software is stupid on multiple fronts. I guess the big question is: Did Motorola have a one hit wonder with the DROID?
