keyboard, and Texas Instruments OMAP 3430 processor.The Motorola Calgary runs version 1.6, codenamed doughnut, of Google's Android operating system. The phone does, however, run the re-branded MOTOBLUR
version of Android, instead of providing the Google Experience skin and application stack. The phone could possibly be a more affordable alternative to the Motorola Droid
