Moto Droid World Edition spied, sports new white paint.

  • September 22, 2010 1:04 pm

Thus far, the hardcore Droid line of devices has been black and red with hints of silver and grey. You know, manly man stuff. The upcoming Droid World Edition model has been said to be more or less the same as the D2 save for the addition of European-loving GSM radios. And now we see there’s another more striking difference between the local-only D2 and World Edition — white paint.

In a move that some will cry foul over, Motorola has chosen to adorn the upcoming globe trotter in a more urban/hipster hue (scientifically…the lack thereof). Personally, I like it. It’s fresh and looks good on the phone. Others will find it hideous and girlish. Whatever the case, that’s how it’s coming folks, so get used to it. Hop inside for a couple more shots of the new hotness…

Would you take this over the all black D2?

While dual-SIM phones are nothing new, their adoption into the main market is rather slow with a small userbase. Most people either don’t have the need nor see one for having the ability to have two phone numbers tied to a single phone. For many, carrying two devices is more to their liking. Whatever, to each his own. The latest foray into the dual-SIM world comes by way of a partnership between Cellular Abroad and National Geographic. The fruits of their labor, titled “Duet”, supports two SIM cards, ships unlocked, and will work out of the box in 185 countries. Planning any globe trotting adventures anytime soon that require you to use more than one mobile number? $179 and a friendly transaction with Amazon are all that stand in your way.
