Filed under: CellphonesAccording to Bill Chen, General Manager of Motorola Taiwan's Mobile Device business, the second generation Linux-based Ming handset won't launch until Q2 of 2008. Not February as initially rumored. What's more, the handset will be introduced in high-end and entry-level configurations -- unfortunately, both are GSM/EDGE, not 3G capable. DigiTimes says that Inventec won the manufacturing contract of MOTO Beijing designed handset. Given the unusual (for MOTO) use of a vowel in the name, there's a good chance this was never meant for Stateside consumption anyway. Too bad, eh?
