Little is known about Motorola’s Android endeavor but the public will surely welcome another Google phone.

Normally, we tend to stay away from the played out consumer electronics but this particular one deserved a mention. The reason? This is Sony Ericsson’s first cellphone ever on T-Mobile’s US network.
