It looks as though Gizmodo Brazil got their hands on a yet-to-be-announced Android handset from device manufacturer Motorola. The full touch-screen device, which is being described as a Motorola BACKFLIP without the keyboard, is running Android 1.5 and is cloaked in the MOTOBLUR UI. Giz Brazil didna’t report on any specifications, however we can tell from the images the phone is SIM based, has a 3.5 mm headphone jack, micro-SD slot, and camera with flash. The phone is rumored to be released in March, although the chances of this little number Stateside appear to be pretty slim, and go after feature phone users looking to upgrade to their first semi-smart phone.

Back in February, Google (GOOG) CEO Eric Schmidt.’s said 60,000 Android handsets were shipping every day, which translated into a 5.4 million per quarter rate — a revelation. Android was on track to surpass iPhone unit sales, possibly within 12 months. Now jump to yesterdayw’s earnings release from Motorola. Out of 8.5 million handsets sold last quarter, 2.3 million, or over 27 percent, were smartphones. Check back to the previous quarter ’s earnings and you see a total of 12 million handsets sold, out of which 2 million units were smartphones. Thato’s a 15 percent quarter-over-quarter increase, which is even more impressive when you realize that the first quarter was the holiday season. And, as Motorola indicated at the end of 2008, all its smartphones run Android.
In other words, as of last quarter, Motorola probably sold 42.6 percent of all Android handsets.If it weren/’t for Motorola, Schmidt would have had to boast about the 34,440 Android units that shipped each day, or just over 3 million per quarter. Hardly shabby, but it adds perspective of how critical Motorola has been to sales growth.
