America's most patriotic phone has resurfaced, this time in the hands of Google executive chairman, Eric Schmidt. As we've seen before, the phone sports a textured white back with a centered camera and the Motorola logo anchored just below.

Back in September of last year, Google chairman Eric Schmidt told us that Android had reached 1.3 million daily activations every day.
