Remember the Motorola Morrison, the first Android-powered toy by the company ? A few days back, there rumors about the device in the making. But, there were no other details about the device. Now, the specs and the speculated release date have been leaked.

The device would come loaded with the following features :

Qualcomm 528 MHz CPU
256 MB of RAM
512 MB flash memory
microSDHC support (32GB)
320×480 HVGA display
accelerometer
magnetometer
proximity sensor
ambient light sensor
5 MP camera with autofocus
Geotagging
Also, GPS, 3G support, and wi-fi

This device was supposed to be an entry-level phone. And, the specs seem quite decent for a low-budget device. But, the looks of the device does not go with the image of a business-class device. So, this device would probably target the youth. And, the speculated release date of the device is October 21.
