Devour in silver

Devour in silver The phone we used to know as Motorola's Calgary is now Devour and we already knew that it would be Verizon's cheap alternative to the Droid. Motoblur was also widely suspected, but we haven't expected a silver device since those very early concept leaks. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi have been confirmed, so a lower screen rez, weaker specs, and the 3MP cam are likely what make... Read more »

Motorola to unleash two more Androids

Motorola to unleash two more Androids Word is that Motorola is set to release two Android devices at this years CES. Given that we have seen both the Motorola Motus/Backflip and the Calgary my money would be on those two showing up come next week. The Backflip (code name Motus) is likely to be AT&T's very first android device and will feature a reverse flip QWERTY keyboard. The Calgary is... Read more »

Mirage/Shadow, 1080p and HDMI?

Mirage/Shadow, 1080p and HDMI? While doing my daily rounds on the interwebz I came across a wonderful post on BGR. BGR is starting the rumor of a project by Motorola for a new Android phone coined the Mirage or Shadow. The fun part of this rumor is the stats they have on this device. They have loosely translated the device to have a 800 x 484 - 4.3 inch touchscreen, 8 megapixel camera, video... Read more »

2009 Android Advertising

2009 Android Advertising 2009 was a great year in advertising for the mobile industry. We saw everything from The Island of Misfit toys, a very creepy webOS multitasking blonde, Catherine Zeta Jones, and miracle banana diets on The Now Network to “an app for that”, a “map for that”, and more of Charles Barkley's Fave 5 (R.I.P.). Those are just some of the popular mobile tech... Read more »

Hero 1.5 ROM for Cliq coming soon? It seems like we're covering a lot of geeky hacks and mods lately, but that happens to be where some of the most exciting Android news is going down at the moment. But have no fear, I'm sure to return from CES in a week-and-a-half with all sorts of juicy on the new handsets. Until then, we've got plenty of rumors, buzz, and clever ways of getting more out of...

Motorola Cliq (T-Mobile): questions and requests

Motorola Cliq (T-Mobile): questions and requests I'm back with another questions and requests series, and this time it's all about MotoBlur. Well, that's actually just where I thought the focus would be. It turned out that I got dozens of duplicate questions about how this device stacks up against the Behold II. A LOT of you wanted some definitive answers on updates. As of right now, I think the hacking community... Read more »

Motorola Cliq rooted, waiting on ROMs

Motorola Cliq rooted, waiting on ROMs A well-known ROM cooker called The Dude has rooted the Cliq but don't go rushing into ADB thinking you'll be flashing Cyanogen's latest. This will give you root and the ability to run root required apps but no suitable ROMs are available just yet. The process does require a wipe but MotoBlur takes care of restoring a lot of your settings if you have the proper... Read more »
