T-Mobile Blur One

Motorola BLUR is Motorola’s customized Android software that will ship with their first Android Phone – the Motorola CLIQ on T-Mobile. But the folks at XDA hacked together their own version of BLUR that daring Android fans can put on their own rooted devices like the T-Mobile G1.

That’s exactly what Sam from AndroidGuys did, loading up Motorola BLUR on his T-Mobile G1 with limited problems (that were all fixed). He reported on the process and interestingly enough, even got access/notification emails from Motorola for his new BLUR account:

Should you feel so inclined it is definitely possible. But is it worth it? That’s for you to decide. Personally I would say no until Motorola makes their BLUR widgets a little more flexible starting with the ability to resize them.
