What is Motorola Kobe? The device, also known by its model number MB520, seems shooting up on a few certification websites. UPnP Forum certified it on June 16, 2010 (listed as ” Kobe ATT” ), and additionally on July 8th the smartphone quietly got a thumbs up from the WiFi Alliance for single band (2.4GHz) 802.11b/g/n. For sure, an IEEE standard doesn’t a phone make, and so we’ve been in contact with a trusted source who’s provided us with specifications of the device, in addition as screencaps of some benchmarks results and the all-important About Phone page.
The Kobe is a slate-style smartphone currently featuring Android 2.1 with a Motoblur skin comparable to Droid 2 / Droid X‘s UI. We’re told it has a 3.5-inch LCD with 480 x 854 resolution, a 800MHz TI OMAP processor (either 3440 or an underclocked 3630), PowerVR SGX 530 GPU, 512MB RAM, 2GB internal storage and a bundled 2GB microSD card, and a 3 megapixel camera (without flash). It currently comes loaded with Swype, Vlingo, and DNLA support. We gotta say, camera notwithstanding, this seems like a fairly appealing addition to AT&T’s growing Android lineup.
