Motorola’s not wasting any time in getting in front of the Android software update promises they’ve made with a brand new update to their device software upgrade page. Unfortunately, for owners of the Atrix 4G and Atrix 2, the end of the road may nigh as the newest update only says “Further plans coming soon,” which sounds anything but promising…. Read more
The Motorola DROID 3 is about to get a large software update — unfortunately it’s just an update of Gingerbread. The 5.7.905.XT862 update comes in around 230MB, and is full of fixes, enhancements, patches and more bug fixes. Given that the DROID 3 only has 512MB of RAM, an update to Ice Cream Sandwich is probably a pipe dream anyway, but every time we… Read more
Yesterday Verizon confirmed that it wouldn’t be updating some of its older, 3G handsets to the latest Ice Cream Sandwich. Motorola’s DROID 3 didn’t make the cut, despite featuring comparable specs to many new handsets. Motorola isn’t leaving its patrons in the dark, however, and has just sent out this email: Thanks for joining the Motorola Feedback… Read more
It looks like Verizon is starting to clear out some of its older devices, and has just dropped the price of the DROID X2, 3, HTC Incredible 2 and Samsung Charge to only $9.99 on two-year contract. That’s a great price for some decently spec’d handsets, and we’re sure that many buyers will be more than satisfied with the phones. One thing to note is the… Read more
Following on the heels of another device’s price drop, the Motorola DROID 3 is seeing a pretty big shift in the “cheap range” thanks to a promotional offer that Verizon is now instituting. Of course, now that the DROID 4 is coming down the pipe, there isn’t a big surprise that Verizon would want to discount its predecessor as much as possible, just before… Read more
Over the course of the Consumer Electronics Show in the Las Vegas last week, Verizon let it know that they’ve got the Motorola DROID 4 coming down the pipe some time soon, but we still don’t know when the exact launch date is quite yet. Just to make sure that everyone gets ready for the impending launch, though, Big Red has knocked the price down of the… Read more
If you’re a fan of the DROID line-up, then you’ve probably seen the Motorola DROID 4 by now. A few times, even. It has been leaked so many times over the course of the last couple of months, that it wouldn’t be hard to imagine that Verizon or Motorola have officially announced the device. They haven’t, though, but rumors suggest the device is headed to… Read more
So, you’re someone who thinks that just because you have the latest and greatest device from a manufacturer, that you should get the latest and greatest software updates before those older phones from the same manufacturer? Unfortunately, some manufacturers don’t see it that way. If you’ve been keeping up with the latest spat of Gingerbread updates for… Read more
Looking for a sweet taste of what will one day become the Droid 3? Look no further than the Motorola XT833, or “Third Milestone.” Today, June 17th, at China Telecom’s CDMA Summit and 2011 e-Surfing 3G Handset Trade Fair (say that three times fast), Motorola has officially unveiled the XT833 as a “mobile powerhouse, delivering uncompromising Web, email… Read more
It seems like only yesterday when the Droid 2 and Droid X were hitting retail shelves, but it really has almost been a year. According to the (what is now becoming) industry standard of the one-year release cycle, we’re due for a refresh. Thanks to Howard Forums user wnrussell, we get to take a sneak peek at those refreshes: Little is known about… Read more
