The Motorola Droid may be making the iPhone sweat in the U.S., but in China OPhone is the name Apple will be most wary about. So when Moto has recently announced its liking for OPhone, the mobile world better listen. Introducing the Motorola MT710, the company’s first OPhone mobile. In case you haven’t heard, OPhone is China’s open mobile operating system, based on Google’s Android. Lenovo phones were the first ones to use the OS. We’ll be glad to fill you up on the more expert details of the OPhone but, frankly, this is the first time we were genuinely interested with this OS.

The Motorola MT710 looks a lot like its cousin in the States. It has a 3.7-inch touchscreen with WVGA (845 x 480) resolution, which holds the exciting possibility of multi-touch. It will have WiFi and will support the local TD-SCDMA network. There will also be CMMB support for China’s mobile TV. No pricing yet. Hopefully, Moto will take notice of the official iPhone sales in the country and price the MT710 more than reasonably for the Chinese market.
