A few weeks ago we heard rumors that the Motorola Shadow could earn the distinction of Nexus Two. Today Motorola confirmed that they are working with Google on a new phone to be sold directly to consumers.


There's no telling if the Droidesque Shadow is the device in question, or if Motorola's will even be Google's next flagship device, but during an earnings call today Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha confirmed that the company is working on a "direct to consumer device with Google."


Jha didn't offer any details on the forthcoming phone, but his statement serves as confirmation of two things: Google's Nexus One wasn't a one-off experiment and Motorola is involved in one of its successors. [Electronista]
