Yes, the latest smartphone from Motorola Slinky Delgado just cleared the FCC, but before you get too excited, nothing has changed. By all appearances, the XT615 is focused exclusively on the international market with WCDMA 2100/900 MHz dual band. Of course, it is certainly useful here in the States (a pinch) with Quad-band GSM support, but if you need a slim, ultra-fast LTE, which are much better with its more powerful brother. Oh, damn it.
Between Godalming and Haslemere, in Surrey, near the English village of Witley, once stood one of the most lavish private residences in the world —the Witley Park. Originally called Lea Park, it belonged to a man named Whitaker Wright who made his fortune by defrauding shareholders of hundreds of million pounds —not once, but twice in two different continents. At the peak of his financial crimes, Wright bought the vast 1,400-acre Victorian estate from the 15th Earl of Derby and built an extravagant 32-bedroom mansion, among other things like a racecourse, a theater and a private hospital.
