Ice Cream Sandwich demoed on Motorola devices

Posted on May 30, 2012 by MG3

Motorola is finally getting ready to unleash Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on its Droid Razr line of devices.
A series of videos released today from Motorola Japan show off the new OS running on a Droid Razr device.
Motorola provided its own skin for Ice Cream Sandwich, replacing most of the smartphone's icons and adding some useful new features.
The biggest change is that four shortcuts now appear on the phone's lock screen, with Motorola adding messaging and dialer shortcuts to the standard Android 4.0 camera and unlock options.

Motoblur no longer exists, so Motorola is going to have to come up with a new name for the skin it plans on using to run over its Android 4.0 powered handsets; it does have a resemblance to stock Android with a few changes such as an updated lock screen...

We reported last week that the Droid RAZR soak test was not going to include Android 4.0 – Ice Cream Sandwich. Today, the story got more complicated.

DROID RAZR to RAZR MAXX Conversion Kit Available for $110 on Pre-order, Features All Genuine Motorola Parts

DROID RAZR to RAZR MAXX Conversion Kit Available for $110 on Pre-order, Features All Genuine Motorola Parts

Posted on Mar 29, 2012 by DaddyChicken

To call original DROID RAZR owners “frustrated” or “annoyed” over Motorola and Verizon’s decision to release a phone with double the battery life and at the same price only 2 months later called the RAZR MAXX would be a gigantic understatement. In fact, this is one of the bigger Android blunders and slaps to the face we have seen in a long, long time if not ever. No refunds were offered nor were there options for a trade-in to satisfy those early adopters that felt nothing but screwed by this move. Those words may sound harsh, but if you can’t tell, I’m actually holding back. RAZR owners should be furious at this.

As part of its customer loyalty program, Verizon Wireless is offering select 4G LTE smartphones for free — provided you sign up for a new contract.

We've reached out to Verizon for some more details — including who actually qualifies for the deal — but have yet to hear back as of this writing.
Update: a Verizon spokesperson has told us that the limited time promotion is not nationwide, but instead limited only to ...

Verizon Tempts Employees With Limited Edition Droid RAZRs

Verizon Tempts Employees With Limited Edition Droid RAZRs

Posted on Feb 15, 2012 by MG1

A life spent caught up in the drudgery of retail is usually pretty free of frills, but Verizon Wireless employees may soon be getting a shot at some swanky hardware if some newly-leaked images hold true. According to Android And Me, Verizon has reached out to their employees with an offer they may not be able to refuse: limited edition Droid RAZRs and Droid RAZR MAXXs.
And what’s so limited about these edition then? The employee-only Droid RAZR sports a red and black finish on its backside rather than the monochrome stylings of its more mundane brethren, along with the device’s number within the production run.

With Valentine's Day coming next Tuesday, you want to get your significant other a brand new Motorola DROID RAZR.

Verizon's Droid RAZR gets violet coat of paint, price tumbles to $200 on contract

Verizon's Droid RAZR gets violet coat of paint, price tumbles to $200 on contract

Posted on Jan 20, 2012 by MG1

Motorola has already unveiled the RAZR's bigger, battery-savvy brother, the Maxx, but it's not yet done with the original kevlar-skinned smartphone. Yes, the RAZR will get a color palette refresh for the new year, with Verizon readying a metallic purple edition for just under $200 -- that's a hundred bucks less than what Big Red hopes you'll lay down for the newer Maxx. Like its white and black siblings, it will shed the 16GB SD card that arrived with the first issue RAZR, leaving 16GB of built-in storage. You'll be able to ogle at that puce wafer-thin profile when it arrives on January 23rd. Verizon's self-congratulatory fanfare is after the break.

DROID RAZR's price drops to $199.99 at Verizon

Posted on Jan 18, 2012 by MG3

Now that it has the new DROID RAZR MAXX, it’s only natural Verizon will slash the price of the original DROID RAZR. And that’s exactly what the carrier did, offering the thin-smartphone for $199.99 with a two-year contract.
At the moment, only the black version is available, with the white and purple one set to hit the offering on January 23rd. These two will also cost $199.99.

White Motorola Droid RAZR for Verizon Wireless now official

White Motorola Droid RAZR for Verizon Wireless now official

Posted on Dec 07, 2011 by MG1

The Motorola Droid RAZR for Verizon Wireless is arguably one of the prettiest smartphones on the market right now. If it weren’t for the terrible AMOLED screen and the questionable battery life, then this writer would have a hard time resisting the urge to pick one up this holiday shopping season. So last month when rumors started floating around the internet that Verizon would be introducing a white variant of the Droid RAZR, you can understand that many Android fans started foaming from the mouth with anticipation. Well now it’s official, and … meh, it’s actually not what we were expecting. In fact, it shouldn’t even be called white. It’s basically the same black Droid RAZR we’ve already r...

Leaked Verizon document hints at white Droid RAZR, leaves speculation to us

Leaked Verizon document hints at white Droid RAZR, leaves speculation to us

Posted on Nov 29, 2011 by MG1

Is there a white Droid RAZR looming on the horizon? According to the above screenshot, there is. Obtained by the folks over at Droid Life, this image purports to give a glimpse into Verizon's device management system, which apparently boasts a previously unmentioned white version of Motorola's ultra-thin handset. If it's legit, the RAZR would join the likes of the Droid 2 Global and R2D2 alongside the manufacturer's predominantly white offerings, though Motorola has yet to confirm its existence. Details, then, are still scarce, but we'll let you know as soon as we hear more about any alabaster arrivals.

Apps pre-installed on the Motorola DROID RAZR can be hidden or removed

Apps pre-installed on the Motorola DROID RAZR can be hidden or removed

Posted on Nov 11, 2011 by MG1

Verizon customers holding an upgrade have had a tough decision to make between the Motorola DROID RAZR and the Samsung GALAXY Nexus. One of the factors that Big Red customers were using to decide between the two high-end phones was the fact that the DROID RAZR came loaded with Verizon and Motorola bloatware while the GALAXY Nexus is a pure Google experience.
But what if you could hide or even remove some of the pre-installed applications? There is a way. Holding on to an application inside the app tray will bring up some options including giving you the choice to hide the icon. It won't remove the app from the phone, but at least you will be able to replace the icon with your own choice on t...

DroidLanding reactivated, contest coming

DroidLanding reactivated, contest coming

Posted on Nov 03, 2011 by MG1

With the Motorola DROID RAZR expected to launch on November 10th, the DroidLanding spot has been reactivated according to a tweet. As Droid fans know, that bit of news means that a contest is coming and this time the top prize should be the DROID RAZR. For those who don't have an upgrade to burn on the latest Moto DROID, or find themselves a bit light in the wallet, this is a great opportunity to try to win the thinnest (7.1mm) LTE enabled smartphone on the planet.
We don't have an idea yet on what the rules of a contest will be. A few months ago, Verizon customers were told to install a special Augmented Reality app from the Android Market which allowed them to play in a virtual scavenger h...

Samsung Stratosphere, Motorola Droid RAZR to be first Verizon LTE phones with Micro SIMs?

Samsung Stratosphere, Motorola Droid RAZR to be first Verizon LTE phones with Micro SIMs?

Posted on Oct 24, 2011 by MG3

Looks like Verizon's got a hardware-crush on teensy 3FF Micro SIMs. The carrier's two latest 4G handsets, Samsung's Stratosphere and Motorola's Droid RAZR, both appear to make do with the diminutive cards. Neither, however, would be the first, as that honor was bestowed upon the carrier's version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1. If you're eager to call one of these devices your own, but already sport Big Red's LTE service, then get set to bust out the scissors for a little SIM card arts and crafts. Further pictorial proof of these itsy, bitsy modules awaits you at the source.
