During its earnings call today, Motorola said that it was working with Google on a device that will be sold directly to consumers, and not through a carrier.
The company did not give any details on when it would be released. We suspect it will be sold online by Google in a similar fashion as the Android-powered Google Nexus One, made by HTC.

The rumored desktop dock for the Nexus One has been made official today — conveniently (and accurately) bearing the official name of Nexus One Desktop Dock — running $45 sold separately or bundled with your phone purchase. As expected, dropping the phone into the dock triggers the Clock application to fire up to give you access to alarms, music, and weather (not unlike the Droid), but the special sauce lies out back where you’ll find a 3.5mm jack that connects to your stereo system using an included 3.5mm-to-RCA cable. A charger’s included to keep the phone topped off while it’s resting in the cradle, too, and considering the presence of Bluetooth here, we’re guessing audio is ferried via A2DP rather than a hardwired connection. Technology! The dock’s available right now for purchase directly from Google.

While we’re busy sitting here trying to figure out how this new phone is supposed to be pronounced, South Koreans are rejoicing that this Android device has become official there. We’ve all seen this handset before as the Motorola XT701 for China, but now we know that Korea will have it through SK Telekom. The device is running Android 2.0 and supports Gmail, YouTube, Google Maps and Google Talk. Basically, anything and everything Google will be delivered on this handset for the full Android experience. Shutterbugs and weekend videographers will be happy to know the MOTOROI packs an 8 megapixel sensor camera with Xenon flash, and has a 720p HD camcorder. Add to that support for up to 32GB of storage, a 3.7? WVGA screen, HDMI capabilities, TV out and built in radio and it looks like Korea’s first Android device is a formidable one.

There’s another Motorola “Calgary” device (also known as the Droid Devour) making the rounds, and this time it’s showing a silver paint job and an obvious Motorola Blur home screen. Word is that the trackpad to the upper right of the keyboard is great, and the keyboard supposedly bests the Droid — not a challenging feat, to be sure. Obviously it’s headed for Verizon, and Boy Genius confirms that WiFi and GPS are onboard, but it’s still a little unclear what the low-end differentiators between it and the Droid might be, outside the three megapixel camera and what appears to be a smaller, lower resolution screen.
