Well, we've already had a pretty good indication that Motorola's Morrison QWERTY slider would be one of the company's planned Android phones, and it looks like most all doubt has now been put to rest courtesy of this shot of what's purported to be a Motorola employee's very own Morrison. In addition to offering us a better look at a slightly more refined version of the phone, it also quite clearly shows it running Android, and it does indeed appear to be the real deal. As you can see above, it's also still sporting that T-Mobile logo, though we're still not hearing anything different than the previous rumors that it's slated to launch on the carrier by the end of the year.

Not a fan of the keyboard layout... I would imagine that scroll wheel on the left would get in the way, and probably be awkward to use (especially with right handed people).
Has there been an attractive Motorola phone since the razr first came out....Really.....they need to steal a couple of apple designers.....UGGGGAAAALLLLLEEEEEEEEE
I didn't think it was THAT bad (fugly) but there is a fisher-price charm to it. If there is such a thing.
Personally, I'd eat it for dessert before I made a call with it.
This device definitely reminds me of the LG ks360

Agree, Moto just hasnt gotten it right since the RAZR and original Q. This think looks like some kid's tinker toy phone.
This looks like some cheap toy. BLAH!
Getting harder to figure out who is going to fold first SE, or Motorola with stuff like this...
This has to be a very low-end android phone as said above it looks like a childs toy. Which leads me to believe that this will be marketed to teenagers. 49.99 with 2 year contract at worst. Free is what I'm leaning too though.
Or maybe this is a picture of a prototype phone???
Look at the past year and the early pictures of Motorola phones, they all have terrible colors that look nothing like the production color scheme. Look back at the Rival for an example.
I've seen this bad boy in person and it really does look nicer that in the picture. The OS was running horribly slow on it though...hopefully MOTO will fix those issues before it comes out..
