Motorola MT820 pictured, does 3D ?

Could that weird Motorola Android device we saw last week actually be the Motorola MT820 pictured above? The button arrangement is different but the transparent flip screen, camera placement, and general shape is very familiar. If they’re not the same phone (one being prototype, other being final), they at least have to be part of the same family right?

The MT820 certainly looks a lot better than what we previously saw but that could be the higher resolution shots talking. We’re still unsure about the whole ‘flip’ form factor but rumors are suggesting that the extra screen allows the MT820 to display 3D images. The MT820 is headed to China’s TD-SCDMA network, which means we’ll likely never see the phone. Not like we were dying for it in this first place, the form factor is still too weird and 3D is currently more a gimmicky feature than anything. What do you guys think? Do we want 3D on our phones yet? Ever?

Another weird Motorola Android phone pops up

Though the above picture of a Motorola Android device looks innocent enough, don’t be fooled–it’s a flip phone. And yes, leave it to Motorola to cook up some interesting form factors for Android. After introducing the Backflip, it looks like Motorola has a flip Android phone in the works. But the Motorola Android flip phone isn’t the size of your typical flip phone, which could’ve be neat, it’s smartphone sized, which just maks the thing unwieldy. We’re not even sure if the ‘flip’ portion of the phone offers any functionality other than protecting the screen.

The phone is reported to be an engineering prototype and of course looks to run the Motorola favorite, Motoblur. Specs are hard to come by, but we’re sure more will be revealed soon. Either way, if Motorola keeps throwing things against the wall, we’re sure something will stick, right? Does a flip phone running Android interest you guys?
