Inbrics M1 Is One Thin Android Slider

[CES 2010] You don’t see all that many Android devices with a slider form factor, aside from the Motorola Droid, but the Inbrics M1 is also extremely thin (for a slider). Aside from its size, it’s not slouch in the feature department too, as it sports a 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED display, 3-megapixel camera, front-facing VGA camera, 800MHz processor, 16GB built-in storage, microSD card expansion, and a full QWERTY keyboard. While it’s running the slightly old Android 1.5 at the moment, it should be upgraded to Android 2.0 by the time it’s in the market in March 2010. There isn’t any price or availability information on this phone just yet, probably because there isn’t a confirmed carrier just yet, but hopefully they’ll be able to find one soon.
