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.

Posted on Aug 19, 2011 by MG3

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 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.

This comes after less than stellar sales on the TouchPad and a request from Best Buy for HP to take back all their tablets.

Posted on Aug 19, 2011 by MG3

Not exactly a release date, but news nonetheless. Vodafone has just launched a sign up page for the Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray. The not-so-Neo Xperia Ray had us stumped in June, but we’ve found much to love in the bite-sized handset since.
