Motorola DROID 3 gets update that fixes MMS bug, improves 3G connectivity and more
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDROID 3
The Motorola DROID 3 was the last of the tank-like handsets to not offer 4G LTE connectivity. Surpassed since by the Motorola DROID 4, the device remains an underrated device with one of the best physical QWERTY keyboards to ever slide out the side of a smartphone, and a dual-core processor. Whether it was a matter of the phone showing its age, or just an unfortunate bug that afflicted the device, many Motorola DROID 3 users had found themselves unable to send or receive an MMS message and even installing a third party program from the Google Play Store failed to help. Long talks with Verizon's technical team couldn't solve the problem. But there is a happy ending thanks to an OTA firmware ...

Motorola Ice Cream Sandwich update -- DROID 3 and DROID X2 left in the dark
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMotorolaGoogleAndroid 2.3DROID X2DROID 3Android 4.0
Motorola recently updated its Android release timeline and revealed that certain devices will remain on Android 2.3 rather than receiving an upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The handsets in question are both modern and more than capable of running the latest Android operating system, however the vendor claims the latest software won’t “improve” the devices, and that’s why updates will not be released. Both the DROID 3 and DROID X2 will remain on Android 2.3, despite the fact that both handsets run dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processors and were released not even a year ago.

DROID 3 gets one-click root, could extend to all Gingerbread Motos
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDROID 3
The Motorola DROID 3 is locked down no more. It was a good day for the root community. Earlier today, a root method was finally found for the DROID 3, and just hours later a (pseudo) one-click root method was created by Framework43 and psouza4. And, best of all, it looks like this root method will work on all Motorola phones running Gingerbread, including possibly the soon to be released DROID Bionic.
Of course, once there is a reliable root method, the only thing left is for some custom ROMs to be build for the phone. Everything is part of the cycle. Just about a week ago, the source code for the DROID 3 was released, and made its way to the XDA forums. That source code not only lead to t...

Droid 3 sadly shipping with locked bootloader
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDROID 3
Well, we hate to be the bearers of bad news but, looks like the Droid 3 will not be shipping with the unlocked bootloader Motorola promised us. According to a Motorola support forum manager the latest, landscape QWERTY slider from the company is not sporting the new unlockable firmware found on the Xoom. Now, before everyone gets up in arms, lets remember that Moto said it wouldn't be offering the new bootloader till "late 2011," and it's entirely possible the Droid 3 could shed those shackles with a future software update. So, we understand you're a little disappointed but, patience is a virtue friends.

Bad news root crew, the DROID 3 has a locked bootloader
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDROID 3
It seems like an inevitable outcome that we should have expected once we learned that the DROID 3 would feature an OMAP processor, but it has been confirmed that the DROID 3 has a locked bootloader. The news was confirmed on the Motorola Support Forums this morning by a forums manager named Matt.
Motorola has said that it would be offering software updates to unlock bootloaders starting late in 2011. Unfortunately, it's barely mid-2011 right now, so change is still on the horizon for all except Atrix users, who apparently should have unlocked bootloaders with the Gingerbread update.
Since the DROID 3 is packing an OMAP processor, that means it most likely has eFuse built in which will bric...

Motorola DROID 3 hits Verizon's website, you can get it now for $200
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaVerizon WirelessDROID 3
Update: The official dedicated DROID 3 page went live confirming a price of $200 for the handset with a 2-year contract, or $460 off contract.
You can get the handset online now, or wait until July 14th when it hits retail stores.
We already know pretty much everything about the handset though - it comes with a 4” qHD display and claims to have a 30% faster graphics chip than its predecessor, but it also sports a larger 5-row keyboard supporting Swype. Actually, it's the thinnest full QWERTY smartphone, according to Verizon. In addition, the new handset brags with 27% faster multitasking performance over the DROID 2 Global thanks to its 1GHz dual-core TI OMAP chip. The DROID 3 is a global de...

Motorola Droid 3 Gets Leaked From 360 Angles
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDROID 3
Verizon has yet to officially announce Motorola’s Droid 3, but we expect to see that announcement cross the wires in a matter of hours. In fact, we reported along with other sites that the phone should hit shelves on July 14, with pre-order starting July 7. In other words, an official Droid 3 page posting should go down right about now.
When big red finally does get around to posting the Droid 3 page, we’ll get to enjoy the phone from all 360 viewing angles. But until then, the nice folks over at Droid-Life miraculously snagged 360-degree pics a bit early, which we are more than happy to pass along.

Droid 3 accessories leaked, Moto's new slider gets wireless charging back plate and more
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDROID 3
So, you've read the rumors, scoped out the leaks, and circled multiple dates on your calendar -- just to cover all of your Droid 3 bases. You can now add a catalog of accessories to the stack of intel for this Motorola slider, including an inductive battery door (most likely harnessing the power of Qi), and a smattering of cases and screen protectors. Also thrown in the mix is a 1930mAh extended battery so you can fuel a marathon of South Park reruns and take full advantage of the last week of unlimited data from Verizon. Although knowing about the accessories is nice, we'd prefer to find out the important stuff... ya know, like how much Big Red's new Droid will cost.

Droid 3 headed to Best Buy on July 14th?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDROID 3
Red-eye alert, all ye Droid faithful! A leaked screenshot over at Droid Attic shows Motorola's worst kept secret -- the Droid 3 -- supposedly hitting Best Buy's shelves on July 14th. With all the unofficial leaks we've seen in the past few months, we have a pretty good idea of what this successor's got running under its QWERTY slider. Favoring a dual-core OMAP 4430 processor, a rear-facing 8 megapixel cam capturing video at 1080p, and baked with latest Gingerbread update, this black block of does shouldn't disappoint. Make note, VZW's new plans go into effect one week prior to this, so if you're clinging to that grandfathered plan, you can still pick this one up on-contract, and cross your t...
