Maybe that square Moto Android phone is real after all (and called the Twist)

Far be it from us to scoff at that hideously square Motorola Android phone -- possibly called the Twist -- that made the rounds over the weekend, but, well, it was pretty bad. But just because it's bad doesn't mean it might not exist, and Android France snagged what appears to be specs of the blockish Motoblur device. Size is listed at 67x67mm, and just less than 16mm thick, with a 2.8-inch screen at 320x240 pixels. Quad-band EDGE and dual-band HSPA is listed (with North American 3G freqs, to boot). There's also a 3MP camera, 512MB ROM/256MB RAM, WiFi b/g, aGPS, a TI OMAP 3410 processor at 700MHz ... and a mere 940 mAh battery.

Real or not, that's a tiny phone, and a tiny battery. And it's square. (And it has Motoblur.) Really, people, is this something you'd want in your pocket? [Android-France.fr]
