Droid Razr Maxx Official for January 26th for $299

Droid Razr Maxx Official for January 26th for $299

Posted on Jan 25, 2012 by MG3

Verizon and Motorola turned some heads at CES 2012 when they announced an update to the just released Droid Razr, the Droid Razr Maxx. Verizon has finally cut short the waiting game and announced that the Maxx is out on January 26 for $299 on-contract. To the great annoyance of Razr owners, the Maxx brings some notable spec bumps, and sells for the same price users paid for the first Razr a few months ago.

The Droid Razr Maxx has 16GB of internal storage, as well as a massive boost in battery capacity to 3,300mAh. The original Razr rocked just a 1780mAh cell. Like the first Razr, the battery in the Maxx is non-removable and hidden behind a kevlar back. The trade off is that the Razr Maxx is...

Motorola PHOTON 4G owners, Motorola wants you

Motorola PHOTON 4G owners, Motorola wants you

Posted on Jan 23, 2012 by MG1

Motorola is looking for 1,000 owners of the Motorola PHOTON 4G to take part in a "soak test" of a software update. As we've pointed out before, this is how Motorola can test an update with a limited number of devices involved just in case there is a problem that requires more work on the software. Also, those testing the update give the manufacturer another set of eyes and ears that might be able to find a bug that somehow slipped past Motorola's own testing.
It would be great for Motorola PHOTON 4G users if this update had to do with Ice Cream Sandwich, but that seems unlikely at this point in time. If you are interested in using your PHOTON 4G as a Guinea Pig, you need to be a member of th...

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.

Motorola planning 24-hour Droid RAZR Maxx longevity event for February 6th?

Motorola planning 24-hour Droid RAZR Maxx longevity event for February 6th?

Posted on Jan 18, 2012 by MG3

Motorola's own website has pointed to a January 26th launch for the long-awaited Droid RAZR Maxx, but it looks like February 6th is the date to really pay attention to. With battery life becoming an even more serious concern due to the proliferation of life-sucking 4G networks, it's become obvious that companies are finally placing those longevity statistics atop their priority list.

Motorola DEFY+ JCB limited edition lands in the U.K.

Motorola DEFY+ JCB limited edition lands in the U.K.

Posted on Jan 17, 2012 by MG15

What is black, tough, and carriers a JCB logo on its back? No, it is not a piece of heavy machinery that we are dealing with here. We are talking about the limited edition Motorola DEFY+, which just got announced. What makes the Motorola DEFY+ limited edition different from the standard model is that it is coated with an extra layer of armor making it even more suitable for people working in the construction and engineering sector. The patented visco-elastic protective sleeve from JCB is there to protect the device from drops, spills, and other accidents that might occur in extreme environments. What further complements the experience is the list of software that comes pre-installed on the d...

Motorola website points to January 26th launch for Droid RAZR Maxx

Motorola website points to January 26th launch for Droid RAZR Maxx

Posted on Jan 14, 2012 by MG1

Motorola didn't provide a launch date for the Droid RAZR Maxx when it officially announced the consonant-heavy phone at CES earlier this week, but it's now filled in that little detail on its website. Assuming it's not a mistake of some sort, you can look for the latest addition to the RAZR family to be available on January 26th from both Verizon and Motorola itself. If you missed the announcement, the Maxx is mostly identical to the existing Droid RAZR, with the notable exception of a longer-lasting battery that promises 21 hours of use on a charge, and 32GB of storage instead of the standard 16GB. It'll also set you back $100 more than the standard RAZR.

Motorola wants to release fewer smartphones in the future

Motorola wants to release fewer smartphones in the future

Posted on Jan 11, 2012 by MG15

Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha revealed to reporters at CES 2012 today that the company wants to make fewer smartphones in the future so that it can better focus its marketing dollars. Jha also provided reasoning behind why Motorola (and presumably other manufacturers) insist on skinning their Android devices. Motorola's intention to release fewer devices in the future is almost laughable at first take, as this is the company that released the DROID BIONIC and DROID RAZR nearly on top of each other, and then just announced the new DROID RAZR MAXX this week. Jha rationalized the situation with the BIONIC, saying that unforeseen delays caused the device to launch much later than it should have. The p...

Motorola and Intel hold hands for multi-year, multi-device partnership, shipments start 2H 2012

Motorola and Intel hold hands for multi-year, multi-device partnership, shipments start 2H 2012

Posted on Jan 11, 2012 by MG15

Well, look who just showed up at Intel's CES 2012 keynote? Motorola Mobility's own Sanjay Jha just grabbed a bit of the limelight -- long enough to announce a multi-year, multi-device agreement that should see Intel's Medfield chips powering Moto's hardware (the second announced behind Lenovo) in the not-too-distant future. Naturally, we're guessing Android will be the OS of choice here, but we can only guess what Motorola's going to do when all of its other chip partners come knocking with new questions.

Droid Razr family gets a new addition -- his name is Maxx

Posted on Jan 10, 2012 by MG1

We've seen it teased, prodded and leaked, but now it's officially official. Motorola's taking the Droid Razr family to the limit one more time with the Maxx. According to the company, the model retains that "impossibly thin" shape we've all come to know and love at 8.99mm, but manages to squeeze in extended battery life, giving you 21 hours on a charge. The Maxx packs 32GB of storage and will run you a cool $300 plus the requisite two-year contract.

Motorola Droid 4 gains DLNA certification as it slides into Verizon

Posted on Jan 09, 2012 by MG3

It should come as no surprise that Motorola's upcoming Droid 4 smartphone would carry a DLNA certification -- just like its predecessor, the Droid 3 -- but if there were ever any doubt in your mind, then wonder no more. This handsome slider destined for Verizon Wireless has just earned its media chops from the Digital Living Network Alliance, which further solidifies indications of its near-term arrival. Sure, we're definitely looking forward to Moto's latest, although perhaps we're not quite so anxious as Best Buy.
