Hello, Sholes. Terrible codename aside, renders of Motorola’s second Android handset have just flown in from mother Russia and as we kinda/sorta alluded to earlier, this is the one we’ve been waiting for.

We’re not going to lie people… We’re kind of excited. The production version isn’t going to be quite as sexy as the renders of course, but it’s still plenty sexy. Now, it’s a bit lacking in some areas compared to other Android handsets coming down the pipe, but the good news for Moto is that when it hits VZW — we mean, if it hits VZW — it’ll be the only game in Android town for Big Red. MOTOFAN.ru reports that the Sholes should be released around October of this year. Hit the jump for more renders.
