I have seen shots of the Motorola Shules Android-powered smartphone several times now and each time I see the thing I think the same thing. I don’t like the way the keyboard looks, perhaps it will be better in person.

BGR reports that it has been sitting on Shules info for a while (and I am betting they were doing the pee pee dance while sitting on the info waiting for the green light). Reportedly, the Shules and Calgary handsets are not the same device and the Calgary will be coming later.

Other interesting specs include the fact that the Shules isn’t a QWERTY version of the Flash, which was one of the things rumored to be true. The image above is supposedly an older prototype, and while I gripe about the looks of the keyboard, the big touchscreen looks sweet.
