Droid 4 launch to coincide with Galaxy Nexus in US?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungMotorolaGALAXY NexusDROID 4
Motorola's much anticipated Droid 4 is set to launch the same day as Samsung's Galaxy Nexus phone. A Verizon document points to a 8 December arrival for the new phone.
The launch date hasn't been totally confirmed for the new device and it is important to remember that the Galaxy Nexus isn't set in stone either.
More exciting however is the spec sheet listed on droid-life.com, which shows off what the Droid 4 is going to be capable. A 4 inch super AMOLED display, Razr looks and backlit 5 row keyboard are just the start of this feature packed handset. Moto has always performed with its Droid handsets and this Gingerbread powered release will likely be the same. The 1080p capable cam on the b...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorola
Motorola unveiled a new device for the Far East region, or so we think. The name of the phone is Motorola XT615 and it will first be available in Taiwan through Taiwan Mobile starting mid-December. We’re talking about a solid mid-range device with specs that include an 800MHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 1GB of ROM, 4-inch FWVGA (854×480 pixels) touchscreen, 8-megapixel camera with flash on the back, VGA front-facing camera, HSPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth 3.0, memory expansion slot, while Android 2.3 Gingerbread is running the show. Size wise, the XT615 measures 117.7×60.5×9.85 mm and weighs 123.6 grams. It will be available for 10,900 Taiwanese dollars, which translates into about $360....

Apps pre-installed on the Motorola DROID RAZR can be hidden or removed
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDROID RAZR
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...

Motorola Pro+ lands on Bell, shows Canadians an Android BlackBerry
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaPRO+
The latest iteration of Motorola’s BlackBerry clone, the Pro+, has just landed in Canada by way of Bell Mobility.
Besides the familiar keyboard, the Motorola Pro+ packs 4 GB of local storage, a 1 GHz processor with 512 MB of RAM, a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, and a 3.1-inch 640 x 480 touchscreen. Connectivity includes 14.4 Mbps HSPA, which Bell would like you to think is 4G, as well as Wi-Fi b/g/n with mobile hotspot capabilities, and Bluetooth 2.1 with enhanced data rate.
As a BlackBerry guy, I can see the appeal of a phone like this. There aren’t many Android handsets out there rocking a portrait-oriented physical keyboard, and the ones that do still don’t hold a candle to RIM. Whi...

Motorola Defy ruled not rugged enough, must change advertising
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDEFY
Apparently the Motorola Defy isn't tough enough for the Advertising Standards Authority. Three users complained to the ASA about the screens on their phones breaking, and after the ASA's investigation, Motorola must change its marketing messages for the Defy, specifically the claims that the phone is "dance floor proof," "pool party proof," and "life proof." The ASA outlines Motorola's thorough testing and acknowledges that "testing was conducted in circumstances designed to be more extreme than were likely to be encountered by consumers," but Moto does admit that it "could not cater for every eventuality," so the ads have to change. Seeing as how the Defy is a year old now, this shouldn't i...

Verizon's Motorola Droid Bionic now available for $119 at Amazon
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaVerizon WirelessAmazonDROID BIONIC
Amazon has once again lowered the price of Verizon’s Motorola Droid Bionic, now selling it for $119. Of course, a new two-year contract is required but that’s like given these days. And that’s still much lower than $249, which is the phone’s price at Verizon’s website.
Now, we all know Verizon will soon start selling the Droid RAZR that we also know as the “world’s thinnest smartphone” as well as the Nexus Galaxy, both of which are better in some ways than the Droid Bionic. Actually, RAZR is only thinner than the Bionic, while the rest of the specs are pretty much identical. That said, the Bionic is still one of the best smartphones in the Big Red’s portfolio and grabbing it for 120 bucks ma...

Motorola DROID 4 makes appearance in Verizon's computer system
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaVerizon WirelessDROID 4
We recently were able to show you some pictures of the Motorola DROID 4, and the phone now shows up in Verizon's internal testing system and on another inventory list. Between that information and what we told you about previously, the DROID 4 will have a 4 inch screen like the DROID 3, but this time it will be a Super AMOLED Advanced screen with qHD resolution-similar to what the 4.3 inch screen on the Motorola DROID RAZR is made of.
The internal testing data confirms earlier suspicions that the Motorola DROID 4 will be running over Verizon's LTE 4G network. It will be the first of the QWERTY-equipped Motorola DROID line to offer LTE connectivity. Also, the internal testing data shows that...

Verizon's November Roadmap includes Galaxy Nexus, new Xoom tablets
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsSamsungMotorolaVerizon WirelessGALAXY NexusXOOM 2XOOM 2 Media Edition
It looks like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is going to hit shelves a lot sooner then we all thought. A leaked Verizon road map suggests a November 21 “web only” launch date for the next big Android handset. This news comes after reports first suggested a launch on the 10th then that date switched to a Nov. 17 launch. Rumor after rumor seems to come almost daily, as Verizon keeps pushing the actual release date all over the place.
Maybe this Nov. 21 date sticks, especially since it happens to be on the same week as Black Friday and the release of the Droid Razr according to the road map. It would be a smart move for America’s largest carrier to release one of the most anticipated phones of the ye...

CyanogenMod 7 available for Motorola Atrix 4G
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaATRIX 4G
Anyone who loves their Motorola Atrix 4G but could do without Moto's custom Android skin, relief may be coming: nightly builds of CyanogenMod 7 have started rolling out for the phone. Despite the fact it isn't yet marked as "stable," Android Community reports that it runs pretty well, with WebTop functionality and the biometric unlocking sensor being the only main missing features. For many, that may be a small price to pay to run a clean version of Android, though the less daring among us might be better served waiting for a truly stable version to roll out before taking the plunge. At least Motorola and AT&T were kind enough to unlock the Atrix's bootloader when the Gingerbread software up...

DroidLanding reactivated, contest coming
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDROID RAZR
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...

Motorola RAZR to be delayed by a week in the U.K.
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaRAZR
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 Pro+ 4G rides into Canada November 7th, will kick off shoes and stay a while
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaPRO+
We knew it was planning to grace Europe and Asia with its presence this month, but now we're hearing the Motorola Pro+ 4G is ready to make its North American debut at Bell Canada. We're not seeing any large differences here compared to the overseas model, though the addition of "4G" to the title is an obvious exception. The device offers a 1GHz CPU, 512MB of RAM, Android 2.3, a 5MP camera, 3.1-inch VGA (640 x 480) display with Gorilla Glass, HSPA 14.4 (hence the "4G" name) and a lot of Enterprise-friendly security features. We know it'll be hitting shelves on November 7th, but no price has been announced so far. To find out the full shebang, head south for the press release.

Motorola DROID 4 appears...with LTE support
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDROID 4
With the Motorola DROID 3 just a few months old, it seems too early to even think about the Motorola DROID 4. But sure enough, Droid-Life obtained some pictures of the next version of Motorola's DROID series. This time, the device is said to feature LTE support and a 4" Super AMOLED screen (probably Super AMOLED Advanced, such as the one in the DROID RAZR).
Also, the Motorola DROID 4 will have a non-removable battery, unlike what we heard from a source earlier, and MotoACTV syncing. The rest of the specs seem familiar such as the 5 row QWERTY keyboard, 1080p video capture, back and front-facing cameras, HDMI out. The version of Android installed is a little more current at 2.3.5. Think Motor...
