During an interview after a business presentation today, Motorola’s CEO Sanjay Jha dropped a fair few hints about the company’s future developments – including the fact it’s planning to launch FOUR new phones with some sort of front facing camera this year. He didn’t specifically say they’d be Android models, that’s simply us doing some assuming.
Jha also said sales of the Motorola DROID were still going very well, and hinted that problems with supply are actually hindering uptake of the chunky QWERTYUIOP Android phone in the States.
Sanjay is a happy man, basically. We hope he’s on a good performance-related bonus package.
Personally, we’re very dubious about the need for front facing cameras, after a completely disastrous attempt to sell them in the UK during the 3G network launch phase of the mid-2000s. But what do we know? We signed up for an HTC Magic in September of 2009, don’t listen to us.

/ August 6, 2010i cant wait to have a phone with a front facing camera. pretty much every phone(including dumbphones) in korea has them. i cant think of a phone i saw while there that didnt, except the landlines. i can think of at least two uses for them, video chat(this is the one im looking forward to) and better self portraits.
