The unavoidable Motorola-Android asterisk It's certainly a uniquely designed Android device, and the implementation of the classic ThinkPad styling (including even a callback to the trademark red ThinkPad nubbin-thing, via the phone's extra hardware button) really is an inspired touch. I tried to keep a straight face while saying all of that - I swear.ĭon't get me wrong: Motorola's ThinkPhone looks perfectly nice on the outside. Tap X if you don’t want to set a weight goal.And speaking of prominence, Moto's main messaging around the new ThinkPhone is that it's "the best phone for cybersecurity" - with a "complete suite of security and support features that deliver seamless protection."
