On the heels of the DROID RAZR M Android 4.1 Jelly Bean release comes an additional announcement from Motorola on their “soak tests.” Motorola’s current program, the “soak test” is a random selection of individuals that post on Motorola’s Support forums and are chosen based on their device. This new program, called “Test Drive,” will “allow… Read more
Here we have another shot of the HTC DROID DNA, the 5″ 1080p HTC device destined for Verizon. However, this shot is special: it’s high quality and clear and looks like an official press shot. It’s a good looking photo of a fairly good looking device. If you look closely, the date on the widget says December 7th. Could this be a release date? We know… Read more
The DROID DNA cleared one more hurdle on its way to your open arms as it passed through the FCC sporting Verizon’s CDMA and LTE bands. While no announcement for the DROID DNA from either Verizon or HTC appears to be on the radar, we’re still hopeful this will land on store shelves before the Thanksgiving holiday. However, @evleaks, the tipster… Read more

Here we have a leaked Verizon MAP (minimum advertised price) with two points of interest. The first is that the Galaxy Note II shows up with today’s date, yet it hasn’t come out. Very strange. The next part is of course the HTC DROID DNA. With the model number of HTC6435LVW, it looks to be the rumored HTC DLX. As a refresher, the DLX is rumored to… Read more
Yesterday, Verizon tweeted that the long overdue Ice Cream Sandwich update for the DROID Bionic is rolling out the next day, which is today. While the update was promised a long time ago, at least we are getting it now. The update is very similar to the DROID RAZR update, resembling a version of ICS closer to stock. Meaning it’s a good update. The… Read more
Amazon is having a massive sale on the RAZR HD series of phones, knocking a whole $100 off of the RAZR MAXX HD. The day after it comes out, and it’s already 1/3 off. Down from $299, the RAZR MAXX HD is now only $199. The standard RAZR HD has been dropped from $199 to $149, so the high end phone is quite cheap right now. And the best part? All of these… Read more
Think about it for a minute. Ice Cream Sandwich has been available to manufacturers for a year now. And it has taken them this long to roll out the update to two respectable phones, the LG Lucid and Motorola DROID BIONIC. Sure, they may not be the best phones out there, but it shouldn’t take a full year to get them an update. Anyway, on to the news…. Read more
Ever since the Motorola Cliq on T-Mobile, most of Motorola’s devices have shipped with one form or another of their custom UI. Back then, it was the heavy and laggy MOTOBLUR, but times have changed and Motorola’s UIs have progressed rapidly. As it turns out, Motorola actually prefers stock Android. The only thing holding them back is the carrier that… Read more
Last time we reported on an update for the HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE, it contained a section about Isis mobile payment system. Here’s proof: So why did they just tear out the part about Isis? Well, the question should be: why was it there in the first place? Isis won’t publicly be available for a while. The support will still probably be… Read more
