Motorola shows three all-touch Android 4.0 phones in China, we see a possible Verizon model

[![Image][1] ][2]

It turns out that Motorola didn't want to wait until the [Google deal closed][3] -- or, for that matter, an American launch -- to undertake a significant revamp of its phone line. A quiet Chinese event last week is now known to have brought us three [RAZR][4]-derived, all-touch phones for the three carriers in the Asian country: the XT885 for [China Unicom][5] (pictured at left), XT889 for [China Telecom][6] (center) and MT887 for [China Mobile][7] (right). Other than the network types and pretty bits, you're mostly looking at the same device, where the highlight is an official dip [into Android 4.0 waters][8] that drops the physical navigation in favor of more [Nexusish][9] on-screen keys. Don't expect a revolution in performance over last fall's roster given that they still have 1.2GHz dual-core processors, eight-megapixel rear cameras and 4.3-inch, 540 x 960 displays. The trio arrives in China on June 2nd; Motorola is likely more worried about popping champagne than giving out US launch details right now, but earlier leaks give us a strong hunch that the MT887 could hit Verizon as the uncannily similar (if still very unofficial) [Droid Fighter][10] before too long.
