Sprint Motorola Pax Surfaces Again, Possible October Launch

Following its first reveal in June with little information to go on, the new Sprint branded Motorola Android smartphone has surfaced once again and now has a code name in the Motorola Pax.

The Motorola Pax is supposed to be the successor to the Motorola XPRT with Android Gingerbread and a BlackBerry alike bodyshell, with key features including a dual core OMAP processor and the inclusion of Sprint Direct Connect along with a QWERTY keyboard, judging by the inclusion of a big blue button on the device as featured in the profile shot. Other than the confirmation of such information, no more specifics are known about the phone.

Based on the recent roadmap leaks that have been making the rounds as of late, the Pax is slated for launch this October under the MOTOROLA XT603 DEVICE heading that currently occupies the listing with an October 2nd release date lining up with the launch of Sprint Direct Connect around the same timeframe. This makes the Pax one of the first smartphones to support the coming service and points to it being the Motorola smartphone that Sprint is continually teasing as the Motorola smartphone with Sprint Direct Connect support in its recent announcements for the forthcoming iDEN replacement.
