In case you hadn’t noticed, Virgin Mobile rocks an ever-so-slightly higher end lineup north of the border than it does in the US, and to that end, it’s just released the RAZR 2 V9m. We all know the drill here by now: 2 inch external QVGA display with music controls, 2.2 inch internal QVGA display, stereo Bluetooth, EV-DO, microSD expansion, and a 2 megapixel camera, all of which are ready to sit just above the KRZR in Virgin’s stable. Grab it now for $149 CAD (about $147) on a three-year deal.

That spy shot of Motorola’s A810 turned out to be dead real — either that or the FCC’s pulling the wool over our eyes, and we really don’t see that happening (not a lot of humor with those guys, don’t you know). Don’t get too excited for use of this Linux-based, full touchscreen puppy outside of Asia, though, seeing how the FCC saw fit to approve nothing more than GSM / EDGE 1900; that’s an indication that it lacks GSM 850 and the key to our hearts. Other features that made the cut include a 2 megapixel camera (although the picture of the back kinda looks care about it says “4.0 megapixel,” doesn’t it?) and an FM radio, so to whomever out there has the distinct pleasure of being able to buy this one in their home market, we say: enjoy.

While we still don’t know the full extent of the hardware onslaught we’ll see once the Android software spec solidifies, we have the ability to now safely say there’ll be at least six coming in the next year and a half or so. That’s the number a Qualcomm product manager is giving as the quantity of Android-powered devices it’s personally helping OEMs prepare in the next 12-18 month time frame — “more than five” was his exact verbiage, actually — which would make sense considering the push Qualcomm gave the platform at CTIA earlier this month. He was also swift to note that Android-powered devices will offer feature sets similar to the iPhone but at lower price points, adding that Google’s already thought through a lot of the goodies that Apple is just now starting to get to with the iPhone (we reckon he’s probably referring to the SDK here) — and considering that Qualcomm has totally nothing to do with the iPhone, that’s not a very surprising attitude for the company to cop.
