Droid RAZR MAXX sales: iPhone 4S no longer king at Verizon

Droid RAZR MAXX sales: iPhone 4S no longer king at Verizon

Posted on Jun 14, 2012 by MG1

Given the iPhone’s popularity, it must be the top-selling smartphone on the top three major U.S. wireless carriers, right? Not so fast, says William Blair analyst Anil Doradla, who penned a note to investors this week stating that the Droid RAZR MAXX is now the best-selling smartphone on Verizon even though the iPhone maintains its top spot at AT&T and Sprint. This doesn’t mean that Doradla is down on Apple as a whole, of course, as Barron’s reports that the analyst is “unfazed” by slipping sales at Verizon and still maintains his Outperform rating on shares of Apple stock. There are some good reasons that the iPhone might not be selling as well as high-end Android handsets on Verizon, with ...

Posted on Jun 08, 2012 by MG1

Although it’s far from being the shiniest thing out of Motorola’s stable, the already aging DROID BIONIC is still receiving some love in the form of a new over-the-air update. Verizon Wireless customers still holding dearly to the smartphone, in light of some recent ones, should be seeing that notification hitting their device right about now.

The Cellebrite system is what carriers use to move over some of the data from your old phone, like the contacts list, to your new phone.

Motorola DROID 3 gets update that fixes MMS bug, improves 3G connectivity and more

Motorola DROID 3 gets update that fixes MMS bug, improves 3G connectivity and more

Posted on May 29, 2012 by MG3

The Motorola DROID 3 was the last of the tank-like handsets to not offer 4G LTE connectivity. Surpassed since by the Motorola DROID 4, the device remains an underrated device with one of the best physical QWERTY keyboards to ever slide out the side of a smartphone, and a dual-core processor. Whether it was a matter of the phone showing its age, or just an unfortunate bug that afflicted the device, many Motorola DROID 3 users had found themselves unable to send or receive an MMS message and even installing a third party program from the Google Play Store failed to help. Long talks with Verizon's technical team couldn't solve the problem. But there is a happy ending thanks to an OTA firmware ...

German court says Motorola violates Microsoft text messaging patent

Posted on May 28, 2012 by MG2

Filed in: MicrosoftMotorola

Microsoft won a small victory in its patent battle with Motorola. A ruling handed down by The Munich Regional Court said Motorola violated a text messaging patent held by Microsoft. The patent describes a method of “communicating multi-part messages between cellular devices using a standardized interface.” Microsoft can enforce a ban on the sale of Motorola Android phones in Germany, but the Redmond company will have to post a 25 million euro ($31.3 million) bond first.

Xbox 360 could face ban in US over Motorola patents

Posted on May 24, 2012 by MG3

Microsoft may have scored a victory against Motorola’s Android phones in the US, but Moto has just landed its own heavy blow. A judge has recommended that the Xbox 360 should be banned in the United States following the discovery that Microsoft has infringed on four of Motorola’s patents relating to H.264 and the use of wireless tech in controllers. Microsoft was found to infringe the patents last month, but the recommendation for the sales ban was issued on Monday.

Motorola Ice Cream Sandwich update -- DROID 3 and DROID X2 left in the dark

Motorola Ice Cream Sandwich update -- DROID 3 and DROID X2 left in the dark

Posted on May 22, 2012 by MG1

Motorola recently updated its Android release timeline and revealed that certain devices will remain on Android 2.3 rather than receiving an upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The handsets in question are both modern and more than capable of running the latest Android operating system, however the vendor claims the latest software won’t “improve” the devices, and that’s why updates will not be released. Both the DROID 3 and DROID X2 will remain on Android 2.3, despite the fact that both handsets run dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processors and were released not even a year ago.
