According to the Wall Street Journal, Verizon Wireless is set to add two new Motorola Android smartphones to its portfolio in July of this year.  The publication says that the new devices are part of a deal between Moto and Verizon that will see the nation’s largest carrier putting a lot of marketing dollars behind the new phones, just as it did with the original Motorola DROID.

For its part, Motorola, via co-CEO Sanjay Jha, has said only:

“We will introduce new Droid products in the Verizon franchise”

]]> Despite literally being pulled from the fires of failure by Android, Motorola have opted to speak out about their desires to push their own new OS as CEO Sanjay Jha clearly puts it; “If I had more money for R&D, I’d be developing an operating platform.” Indeed, Jha states that Motorola require diversity in their portfolio, something I think anyone could agree with. When discussing the possibility about a Windows Phone 7 Jha says, “I’m open to it…I think I need diversity in our portfolio.”

Motorola had a great time of it when they were the first to release an Android based 2.X device. An aggressive marketing campaign saw that the Motorola Droid really did do very well on its opening weekend, and continues to sell faster than what Motorola would have initially anticipated. It would seem that getting on the Android 2.X bandwagon, specifically a build of Android that had the updated Google turn-by-turn navigation software, was the right thing to do. It would seem slightly blasphemous, then, that Motorola are speaking out about the desire to make their own OS. However, viewed in the right context, this is quite a testament to Google’s Android and highlights Motorola’s respect for what Google have accomplished. I think it is safe to say a number of manufacturers are envious of what Google have achieved in such a little time.

Jha said that his company will use Windows Mobile and Android for its mid-tier and high-end handsets for both consumers and enterprise.  That’s great news for newcomer Android.

The less good news is that the first Motorola Android phone won’t be ready until the holiday shopping season in 2009 – a full year away.

So while a device is coming, it won’t be here for quite some time.

Jha had told employees earlier in the year that the company was going to support only three platforms in the future, though he had not indicated which three would survive.

It is common knowledge that Motorola is already working on an Android powered device.  The Wall Street Journal says that it will not be available until next year, and that the change in supported platforms will mean that some devices that are already in development will be dropped.
