After the relative success of the Android-based Motorola Cliq, it’s pretty obvious that Motorola considers Google’s phone OS to be its ticket to be number one yet again.

It’s no surprise then that Motorola is going to make 8 phones rocking China Mobile’s version of Android, called Ophone.

The handsets details are still under wraps but China Mobile has confirmed that Motorola will provide eight Ophone models to them that are scheduled to go on sale by next year.

Other companies that are said to launch Ophone handsets are Dell, Lenovo and Samsung.
