Motorola A1600 Gold Edition on Linux

The gold edition of the Motorola A1600 touchscreen phone was announced on the company's Chinese website. The novelty is made in the spirit of the Motorola V8 Luxury edition, but even its body of crocodile skin does not make it vulgar.

This time, Motorola somehow managed to convince the famous French jeweler and watchmaker Cartier to have a hand in the design of the novelty.

It is not completely clear why it is now that such a huge number of different gold phone releases appear, but among all of them, the A1600 looks the most attractive.

In addition to its brilliance, from the original model Motorola A1600 Gold is no different. It also has a 2.4-inch QVGA touchscreen display, displaying 262 thousand colors and a translucent plastic active coating MING. The device runs on Linux and supports quad-band GSM / GPRS / EDGE.

Also, the Motorola A1600 has a 3-megapixel camera, a microSD memory expansion slot (up to 4GB), stereo Bluetooth (A2DP), a microUSB port and a stereo FM receiver. And, of course, its brightest feature is a built-in GPS receiver, which allows not only to use navigation, but also to geotag photos (linked to a place on the map).

Update:

The American mobile vendor Motorola, in collaboration with the French watch manufacturer Cartier, presented the updated MING A1600 model - an elite mobile phone MING A1600 Luxury Edition, made in a clamshell form factor and in a very stylish style that resembles Motorola RAZR2 V8 Luxury Edition, which is also on sale in Russia.
The case of the image device is trimmed with alligator leather, 18-carat gold, metal accents. The functionality of the MING A1600 has not changed.
When the phone goes on sale in Russia, it is not known - in the meantime, the luxury-new product can only be purchased in Taiwan at a price of about $ 850. Together with the Motorola MING A1600 Luxury Edition comes branded desktop holder for business cards from Cartier.
