Motorola's XT531 hits the FCC, ready for its US crossover

Motorola's XT531 hits the FCC, ready for its US crossover

Posted on Aug 22, 2011 by MG15

Motorola's XT531 has gone through more name changes than a certain rapper-cum-vodka shilling mogul, and the trend might continue as it makes its way to the US. The budget-friendly handset, known as the Fire XT in Europe and the Spice XT in Latin America, has just surfaced at the FCC toting AT&T-compatible GSM bands, UMTS / HSDPA 850MHz / 1900MHz support, WiFi and Bluetooth. Based on Moto's official PR for the handset's Chinese release, we know this 3.5-incher also sports a front-facing VGA / 5 megapixel rear camera, and is set to launch with Android 2.3 onboard. With Google's newest pal clearly chasing after heat-related naming conventions, we expect to see this one launch with an equally ca...

Posted on Aug 19, 2011 by MG3

While owners of the Motorola ATRIX 4G for AT&T in the U.S. have been basking in Gingerbread glory since last month, it looks like their European counterparts will have to wait quite a bit longer before the Christmas cookie version of Android arrives for them.
In an update on its official Facebook page today, Motorola's European division said that it expects to "begin rolling out the Android 2.3 upgrade in Europe in early Q4." More details on timing and carriers would be provided as they become available.

Motorola DROID Bionic appears in Best Buy Buyer's Guide, still no price or launch date

Motorola DROID Bionic appears in Best Buy Buyer's Guide, still no price or launch date

Posted on Aug 19, 2011 by MG3

Like sands through an hourglass, these are the slow moving 'Days before the Motorola DROID Bionic launch'. It's not like we are not seeing more and more confirmation of the specs, such as the 4.3 inch qHD display, or the 1GHz dual-core processor or the 8MP camera on back that captures video at 1080p. It's just that time seems to be moving slowly when it comes to the DROID Bionic. And while the latest leak shows the phone in Best Buy's latest circular, there is still no mention of a launch date or price.

Motorola's new Droid HD makes cameo alongside Droid Bionic

Motorola's new Droid HD makes cameo alongside Droid Bionic

Posted on Aug 17, 2011 by MG15

We've just received a fascinating set of photos from a sharp-eyed tipster, who sent along images of what appear to be Motorola's Droid Bionic and, most alluringly, that rumored handset known as the Droid HD (pictured above). This isn't the first time we've seen leaked images of the Bionic in the wild, but these shots are certainly a lot clearer than any others we've come across. Still, there aren't too many surprises here, with the global-capable handset boasting a TI OMAP 4430 1GHz dual-core CPU, 1GB of RAM, 4.5-inch display, an 8 megapixel rear camera, and microUSB / HDMI ports.

The real intrigue, however, lies with the Droid HD. Judging from the photos, this device seems to be running Gi...

Motorola Defy+ is faster, stays rugged

Posted on Aug 17, 2011 by MG3

Motorola recently announced the Defy+, which looks more or less the same as the original, but has a 1 GHz processor instead of 800 MHz. We had an inkling Motorola was working on a successor to their last tough smartphone, so no huge surprise there.

Motorola Atrix Upgrade Makes (Almost) Everything Better

Posted on Aug 11, 2011 by MG3

The Motorola Atrix 4G made a big splash earlier this year for several reasons: it was the first dual-core Android phone to hit the market, and it transformed into a kind of laptop computer. Even if you ignored the groundbreaking laptop "Webtop" mode, the Atrix 4G was still a very powerful smartphone.

Some Motorola PHOTON 4G units suffering from a “silent call” issue

Posted on Aug 11, 2011 by MG3

It has been brought to our attention that some units of the Motorola PHOTON 4G are causing headaches to their unlucky owners. More specifically, a number of PHOTON 4G smartphones have been reported to be experiencing the exact same symptom – when placing calls, the other party cannot be heard in the earpiece when speaking. Quite a serious issue for such a high-end device, don't you agree?

Will the Motorola Droid Bionic live up to the hype?

Posted on Aug 11, 2011 by MG3

The wait for the Motorola Droid Bionic is finally coming to an end, and Verizon’s first dual-core LTE phone will soon be upon us. The handset has garnered quite the following since we first saw it back in January and even the massive redesign didn’t seem to sway interest for the Bionic.

Motorola wants same deal as Nokia from Microsoft

Posted on Aug 10, 2011 by MG1

At a recent industry conference Motorola Mobility’s Sanjay Jha has confirmed once again that they are open to developing a Windows Phone 7 handset.
"I think we’re completely open to the notion of Windows as a platform," Jha said in an appearance at the Oppenheimer Technology & Communications Conference.
He confirmed however that they would only do it if they achieved special partner status like Nokia has, saying otherwise that at present "clearly, all of our focus today is on Android."
Jha was still waiting to see which OS will shake it for the 3rd place, saying only one of Windows Phone 7, webOS and RIM can survive.
While Motorola has seen an early revival from adopting Android, the compan...
