MOTOACTV launching “sometime in Q4″, LTE tablet in 2012

By on October 19, 2011 at 2:03pm in Mobile News


The rejuvenated Motorola RAZR will be coming to Canada through Rogers, just “in time for the holidays”. After the event there was a round table discussion that featured Sanjay Jha, Motorola Mobility CEO, and Michelle Digulla, President, Motorola Mobility Canada and there was some interesting conversations.

The RAZR, according to Digulla, will be a “hero” phone for Rogers and we can expect it sometime at the beginning of November. No prices were revealed but this is currently up for pre-order for $149.99 on a 3-year. As for other Android devices coming to Canada, the answer is yes, but no details on what we can expect – most likely the ATRIX 2. From a tablet perspective, there were rumours that the Xoom 2 might make an appearance, but that didn’t occur. In fact, us Canadians will not receive anymore tablets this year from Motorola, but will be getting a 4G LTE tablet in 2012 (probably the Xoom 2).

Finally, us Canadians can also expect to see MOTOACTV “sometime in Q4″. MOTOACTV is a 1-inch touchscreen Android that’s dubbed as the “ultimate fitness player”. It’s a combo of a music player (hold over 4,000 songs), health monitor that’s designed for exercising, and it also can be paired with your smartphone to answer calls, receive text messages and view calendar notifications. No word on the prices or distribution but in the States the 8GB will retail for $249 and the 16GB for $299.

    • that’s like saying “every car after the ford is a sad remake of the ford”

      guess what.. companies are allowed to make similar products.

  2. Good idea. Hopefully this goes the way of the HP Touchpad so they’ll sell it for $20 to $50. I’m not paying $200+ for a watch.

  3. NOOOOOOO. I’m on Rogers and the razr as a “hero” line worries me. People are way more interested in the nexus so if Rogers is pushing the razr as a “Hero” phone for them then it likely means they aren’t getting the nexus any time soon. When is Rogers going to wake up and realise people know which phones they want and aren’t going to believe them when they push something most people don’t care about? This is like them insulting us with the Infuse after Bell got the SGII (which Rogers is STILL waiting for…)
    Sob….

  5. For what you get, the price is reasonable. Other fitness watch products with less features go for $50 less.

    I’m definitely getting one.

  7. As a watch I’d consider this cheap, I’d get it! Though I do love watches.

  10. How do I order the SF500 headphones? Recently had heart gresruy and cannot monitor heart rate with the device. Told I need to buy the SF500. I need to order two of them. Why is it very difficult to order these? And why is it advertised that it monitors your heart rate when it doesn’t do that at all? The people at Best Buy do not know what they are talking about. Thank you.Dale Schrader
