It’s no secret that you can find some of the most interesting things at a flea market. One lucky guy found the deal of the century at one. The Motorola Olympus was up for sale and the guy snagged up probably for a great price. The owner apparently didn’t know what that had and the event was nice enough to show the purchaser how to by-pass the activation process. The screen is said to be larger than 3.7 inches and it has an HDMI port, microUSB, front-facing camera. It has Android 2.2 with MotoBlur and this handset is expected to be powered by a dual-core Tegra 2 processor. More pictures can be found at the source. Read the rest of this entry »

The jury is still out on which handset the most muscle has but this does looks like a very interesting device. Checkout the in the wild pictures in the photo gallery. Read the rest of this entry »
