Best Buy says ICS for the RAZR delayed, Rezound still on for Friday

Best Buy says ICS for the RAZR delayed, Rezound still on for Friday

Posted on Apr 06, 2012 by MG1

Droid-Life got ahold of an internal employee memo Best Buy sent out yesterday, updating employees on the status of Ice Cream Sandwich updates for some of Verizon’s most popular phones. First, Best Buy told employees what we already reported to you – that the updates headed to the Droid RAZR and RAZR MAXX aren’t going to be ICS, they will be bug fixes.
We’re not sure that translates as ICS being “delayed”; there was never anything but speculation that today’s soak test for RAZR devices would be Android 4.0, so Best Buy may have simply jumped the gun with their previous announcement.

Motorola DROID RAZR and Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX soak test to start on Thursday

Motorola DROID RAZR and Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX soak test to start on Thursday

Posted on Apr 05, 2012 by MG1

The soak test for the Motorola DROID RAZR and the Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX will begin on Thursday. The new software version is 6.12.181 and includes a large number of fixes as the manufacturer tries to get the models ready for the upcoming Android 4.0 update.
Among the items listed on the changelist for the update is an optimization of device performance to improve battery life, which does sound redundant with the Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX. The update will bring a new MotoCast widget to allow easier access to MotoCast files. Also, you should notice an improvement in MotoCast performance. Storage settings have been changed to clarify total, available, and used storage space.

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.

Motorola RAZR Developer's Edition to come with unlocked bootloader

Motorola RAZR Developer's Edition to come with unlocked bootloader

Posted on Jan 30, 2012 by MG1

Motorola apparently plans on slicing and dicing the Motorola RAZR with the Motorola RAZR DE (Developer's Edition) coming in Europe with an unlocked bootloader out of the box. The company says that the phone "allows us to continue meeting our carrier and regulatory obligations, but also meets the needs being expressed by our developer community." Motorola's blog post (that has since been removed but remained on Google Reader), says that the MOTODEV site would offer support for unlocking, relocking and locating build files for the "DE' model.
The MOTODEV site is also where U.S. consumers will find out about when a similar model that is being built for the States will be ready. Motorola has rec...

Early build of Ice Cream Sandwich for the GSM Motorola RAZR leaks

Early build of Ice Cream Sandwich for the GSM Motorola RAZR leaks

Posted on Jan 26, 2012 by MG1

There may be many different Android devices in the world today but there are still only a handful of decent custom user interfaces available. While we prefer stock Android over anything else, HTC’s Sense UI has been a favorite for many people for a while now. However, one thing we’ve never heard before is someone saying that they prefer Motorola’s custom UI Motoblur over anything else. Well, some of the first shots of the Motorola RAZR playing nice with Ice Cream Sandwich and Motoblur have arrived and some of you may like the new look.
From what we can see, Motorola has been pretty busy bringing Motoblur to Android 4.0 and some of the enhancements are pretty nice. First you, you’ll now have ...

DROID RAZR in white comes tomorrow – can you guess why?

DROID RAZR in white comes tomorrow – can you guess why?

Posted on Dec 15, 2011 by MG1

Though it may seem like an exercise in foolish re-reporting to speak on this white version of the DROID RAZR again when we announced it earlier this month, it’s availability for tomorrow (the 15th of December) should strike you hard enough to bring about a bit more buzz than this device otherwise would. Since the DROID RAZR was released in its original black/gray form last month (our full review able to be found here), another color for the casing of this device is essentially just a paint job on the same cool sharpness: but besides the OTHER device you’re more than likely aware is almost certainly coming to Verizon tomorrow, recognize this: the DROID XYBOARDs are being cross-promoted with t...

Motorola promises Android 4.0 ICS upgrades for DROID RAZR, DROID BIONIC, XOOM (again)

Motorola promises Android 4.0 ICS upgrades for DROID RAZR, DROID BIONIC, XOOM (again)

Posted on Dec 08, 2011 by MG1

Motorola has posted a rather lengthy explanation of the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade process to its corporate blog, where it details the four major steps that need to occur before a software update is made available to users. Unfortunately, the company doesn't provide any extra information as to exactly when the Android 4.0 upgrade for existing devices will be released or when it plans to launch new devices with Android 4.0 already on them. It did reiterate its previous commitment to bring the new software to the DROID RAZR, DROID BIONIC, and XOOM tablet, but it has yet to provide an exact timeframe.

Posted on Nov 17, 2011 by MG1

The Motorola Razr is now available in the UK, with Moto announcing just where you can get the smartphone.
Although Motorola has never officially announced the exact date the Razr was coming to the UK, Clove had reported that the handset would be out at the beginning of November and then revealed that it would be delayed by at least a week.
That's all in the past now, with Moto revealing that the phone is now available from Phones4U, selected Carphone Warehouse stores and also SIM-free from Amazon.

Motorola RAZR to be delayed by a week in the U.K.

Motorola RAZR to be delayed by a week in the U.K.

Posted on Nov 02, 2011 by MG1

According to U.K. online handset retailer Clove, the Motorola RAZR-the overseas cousin of the Motorola DROID RAZR in the States, has been delayed by a week. The phone was expected to ship today or tomorrow and now it will be another week of waiting for those poor souls in the U.K.. Sure, that might not seem like a long time to wait for most things, but hey-we are talking about that slinky new sexy Android device that measures just 7.1mm at its thinnest point. The reason for the delay is not known.
For those in the U.S. who have pre-ordered the phone, or are planning on popping into a Verizon store on November 10th, let's hope that this delay does not foreshadow a similar problem in the State...

Motorola RAZR says hi to FCC with AT&T radios on board; Motorola XOOM 2 also visits?

Motorola RAZR says hi to FCC with AT&T radios on board; Motorola XOOM 2 also visits?

Posted on Oct 25, 2011 by MG1

The Motorola RAZR has made it past the FCC and inside it carried radios tuned to AT&T's frequencies. But before you AT&T customers start getting excited, the frequencies are also used by many Canadian carriers and it is expected that the Motorola RAZR will be heading across the border after it is launched by Verizon. The shared bands are GSM 850/1900 and WCDMA Bands II/V for 3G.
No one is ruling out an AT&T variant of the Motorola DROID RAZR as it would make sense for the Schaumberg based company to spread its flagship phone to as many carriers as possible. This is the MO that Samsung has used quite well with its Galaxy line of smartphones. Of course, AT&T has not uttered a word yet and nei...

Motorola RAZR open for unlocked bootloader business, if the carrier says so

Motorola RAZR open for unlocked bootloader business, if the carrier says so

Posted on Oct 25, 2011 by MG1

Promises, promises. Motorola wasn't exactly fibbing when it said all future phones would ship with unlockable bootloaders, as it appears they will. There's just one teensy obstacle impeding the joy of ROM flashers worldwide: it's up to the carriers' discretion to keep it that way. In a chat with AusDroid, Moto's VP of Enterprise Mobile Devices, Christy Wyatt, revealed that the RAZR would indeed be the OEM's first device to ship with a software unlock. Unfortunately, as in the case of the DROID variant, operators like Verizon have chosen to put the smack down on any custom hackery, citing the typical concerns over security. But it's not all grey wireless skies, the handset's global version wi...

At 7.1mm Motorola claims it to be the world's thinnest smartphone; "Impossibly thin" goes the tagline. It is also incredibly strong with a precision machined stainless steel core and laminated construction for enhanced rigidity, with woven kevlar fibre on the back.
There's gorilla g...
