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 Xoom WiFi price cut to $499 - Slow sales or Xoom 2 coming?
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksMotorolaXOOMXOOM 2
The price of the Motorola Xoom WiFi has been cut seemingly everywhere, no longer making Costco the go-to place for the first Honeycomb tablet. You can now grab the Xoom for only $499 in most places and even cheaper at Staples.
The Motorola Store, Amazon, and Staples now carry the tablet for the new $499 price point and the latter has a coupon code that will shave off an extra $50 from the overall price (51758). It took Moto long enough to bring the tablet’s pricing down but we’re wondering if it’s whether the competition is besting the Xoom, or if the price cut is a sign of things to come.

Motorola DROID Bionic makes appearance in Best Buy ad
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDROID BIONIC Etna
A leaked photo of an ad for Best Buy apparently is showing off the re-designed Motorola DROID Bionic. As we reported, Verizon's first dual-core LTE model is expected to launch on August 4th. Unfortunately, the ad doesn't confirm the launch date or reveal a clue about pricing. The phrase "Coming Soon" is placed under the picture of the heavily anticipated phone.
This leaked ad allegedly shows off the long awaited Motorola DROID Bionic
Originally shown to the public at the CES, Motorola pulled the original DROID Bionic and replaced it with a whole new model and a delayed launch. The specs of the device have been rumored to be all over the place. We had told you about a tweet from Motorola th...

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.

Smaller version of the Motorola DROID Pro, the XT316, repeats FCC visit with AT&T bands on board
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDROID PRO
Back last April, the Motorola XT316 visited the FCC wearing a radio with Chinese 3G bands on board. The handset is said to be a smaller version of the Motorola DROID Pro and the Motorola XPRT currently available at Verizon and Sprint respectively. With its portrait facing QWERTY on the front of the handset right under the screen, the Motorola XT316 has a decidedly BlackBerry-esque look to it.
The Motorola XT316 has just completed a second visit to the Feds, and this time the radio under the hood was loaded up with AT&T's frequencies which gives us a good idea where this phone is headed to. While a visit to the FCC doesn't guarantee an imminent launch for a device, should the Motorola XT316 g...

We’ve been hearing about the Motorola Droid 3 smartphone for quite some time. No official announcements have been made yet, but images and videos of the device been leaking since early this month. And now, new leaks are confirming the handset’s rumored release date and specs.
The Motorola Droid 3 follows after the Droid 2 and Droid X2, all of which have already launched on Verizon. The below leaked image from Android Central confirms that the Droid 3 will indeed feature a 4-inch qHD display running Android 2.3 on a TI OMAP 4430 1GHz dual-core processor. It will come with a front-facing camera and an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera capable of HD video capture along with LED flash.

Motorola Droid X2 facing chronic overheating problems
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDROID X2
A new investigation has suggested that the Motorola Droid X2 may have an inherent overheating problem. Following reports from forums that it was getting too hot, Geek ran temperature tests against six separate units. One got so hot running Google Music at 110F that it shut down to protect the processor, while another doing 3G streaming also failed out; others behaved similarly.
The issue may be linked to software. Trying games like Galaxy of Fire 2 doesn't cause the problem even after an hour.
Motorola and Verizon claim they can't reproduce the issue on their own devices. Stories from Droid X2 owners encountering the problem, though, suggest the issue isn't consistent and may be a phone-by-p...

Droid Bionic seemingly clears the FCC, may finally be headed for (US) glory
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDROID BIONIC Etna
Is this the Droid Bionic, eager to make its US debut at long last? After a false start, it's looking more and more like Motorola's next superphone could be inching ever closer to that elusive "summer release," with a new FCC filing showcasing a cellular communications device with EVDO, LTE, 700MHz radios, Bluetooth, 802.11b/g/n WiFi and an inductive charging battery cover. 'Course, a few things are still under wraps until August 7th, so it's fairly impossible to tell with any level of certainty what handset we're peering at. The clues most certainly add up, however, and if you were thinking of holding out just a wee bit longer, maybe the outline above is just what you needed to find patience...

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.

Motorola DEFY on T-Mobile UK finally getting Android 2.2 Froyo
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMotorolaT-MobileGoogleAndroid 2.2DEFY
Most owners of the Motorola DEFY in the UK have probably already received the update to Android 2.2 Froyo that was released a few weeks back, but those who happen to have bought their DEFY through T-Mobile have been left in the lurch. They shouldn't be upset for too much longer, though, as T-Mobile has announced that users can expect the update to roll out at the beginning of July. Android 2.2 Froyo brings a number of improvements, including faster performance and the ability to move apps to the SD card. T-Mobile users will probably be happy to get the latest and greatest from April 2010, but I wouldn't hold my breath for a 2.3 Gingerbread update for the DEFY.

Motorola releases ATRIX clone for the Chinese market
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaATRIX 4G
Motorola has announced a new smartphone for the Chinese market that borrows heavily from its existing ATRIX design for AT&T. The MT870 is a dual-core powered device with Android 2.3 Gingerbread and Motorola's custom, don't-call-it-MOTOBLUR, interface.
The MT870 has the same 4-inch, qHD (540 x 960 pixel) display as the ATRIX, and each core of the processor runs at 1GHz, just like the ATRIX. The camera on the MT870 has been upgraded to record 1080p HD (1920 x 1080 pixel) video, though Motorola did not specify the resolution of the still shots. Eight gigabytes of internal storage is included to store all those HD videos you record, and there is a microSD slot capable of supporting up to 32GB ca...

Motorola Mobility downgraded by analysts
Like UnlikeFiled in: Motorola
Motorola Mobility has been among the front runners of Android, but despite the fact that it has released a couple of competitive Android devices, BMO Capital Markets analyst Tim Long downgraded the company from a “market perform” rating to an “underperform” rating. The analyst stressed that growing competition in the smartphone market will impact the company’s future results.
Initially, it was HTC and Moto competing in the Android market, but they've been joined by the other big names in the industry like Samsung, LG and Sony Ericsson. Long expects each of these to ship more phones than Motorola in this quarter. He also based his downgrade on the fact that Moto's lack of global reach is beco...

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...
