White DROID RAZR arrives for the holidays

, Dec 6th 2011 Discuss [5]

It's not just the DROID XYBOARD tablets which Verizon has for us this morning: the carrier also revealed a white version of the DROID RAZR which will go on sale later this month. Priced at $299.99, the white RAZR is functionally identical to the existing black model we reviewed last month aside from the snow-white casing. Read The Full Story

Motorola Droid RAZRMAX may tout larger battery

, Dec 2nd 2011 Discuss [7]

Motorola may be preparing a follow up to its ultra-thin DROID RAZR LTE smartphone with a new device called the DROID RAZRMAX. This move may be due to battery life concerns with the current model, like what we've experienced in our full review. This new iteration is expected to be slightly thicker and will sport a larger battery to fuel the power-hungry LTE device. Read The Full Story

DROID Razr torn down with Dozuki saw and video effects

, Nov 11th 2011 Discuss [0]

While Verizon and Motorola assure us that the back of the DROID RAZR by Motorola is not meant to be removed and that the battery is certainly not meant to be replaceable, the folks at iFixit never ever take no for an answer, starting their traditional teardown process with no less than the traditional Japanese saw known as the Dozuki. Of course there was no real need for this since there actually is a fingernail hole at the top of the device and snaps all around the edges that a non-terrifying instrument like your finger could work apart, but the glue between the battery and the back will make for a more difficult take-apart process for you. Then take note of the Kevlar, and be sure to remember that Kevlar in this state is both flexible and definitely not bulletproof - iFixit reminds us that bulletproof Kevlar is actually layers and layers of similar material backed up with a ceramic plate -- in other words, no bullets please!

DROID RAZR ads cut to the chase: what do you want to know?

, Nov 10th 2011 Discuss [6]

For the brand new DROID RAZR, Motorola and Verizon's newest hero device, ad spots appear to be continuing the trend of sparing no expense for high theatrics and above average action and adventure stylings. What you're about to see are two ads, one of them showing off how undeniably thin the device is as it cuts through the urban environment, dicing everything it flies directly through. The other, having just been released this week as we come ever so close to the 11.11.11 release date, emphasizes the tagline for the device "Too Powerful to Fall Into the Wrong Hands" and makes it clear that this smartphone is so awesome, only kung-fu Batman James Bond-type character is worthy of stealing it from the set of black-van drivers that possess it (we must assume that these vans represent either Verizon or Motorola, not sure which.)

It should be no surprise to you at this point that the DROID RAZR is about to be one big gigantic deal for both Verizon and Motorola what with its slick nature and LTE connectivity, and here's another reason to get excited: a brand new double-data plan. Verizon will be starting a promotion on November 8th, 2011, in which both existing and new customers are eligible for double data plans. Those people getting a 2GB data plan now for $30 will soon be getting a 4GB data plan for that same $30. Sound like a pretty good deal to attach to your brand spanking new LTE device?

Motorola DROID RAZR Review

, Nov 7th 2011 Discuss [82]

Motorola’s DROID RAZR has a lot to live up to – and a clear warning around how to drop the ball in mobile strategy. Named after the slimline clamshell handset that changed Motorola’s fortunes in 2004, this new dual-core Android promises to be the world’s thinnest smartphone with power and performance to match. Thing is, Motorola quickly milked the original RAZR to death, pushing out special edition variant after variant while the market left its underwhelming specifications behind. Is this new DROID worthy of the RAZR name? Read on for the full SlashGear review.

Motorola offers both Ice Cream Sandwich updates and Bootloader Unlockability

, Oct 24th 2011 Discuss [4]

Believe it or not, all you lovers of both hacking of Androids and updating of Androids, Motorola has today offered clarification of its future with unlockable bootloaders and updates for its products to no less than Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. It is Motorola itself that today speaks to the world saying that “without a doubt” the two “hottest topics in [their] world right now” are Ice Cream Sandwich and bootloaders. Imagine that! Having just spoken with Sanjay Jha this past week, I can tell you firsthand that it wasn’t the first (and it certainly wasn’t the last) time he’d spoken with someone about Motorola’s bootloaders and their unlockability as a hot topic.

Ice Cream Sandwich allows you to hide apps – but so does the Motorola RAZR

, Oct 21st 2011 Discuss [14]

There's a new feature in Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich that has quite a few people having a heard attack with glee - the ability to "hide" applications that you'd otherwise not be able to get rid of. These apps are generally calls bloatware because they're added to the basic build of the device and cannot be deleted by the user (unless of course they hack the device.) What this new function will bring is the ability to shut these apps out of your device ALMOST entirely - save for the amount of space they take up in a very rudimentary sense. What you might not know is that both the Motorola DROID RAZR and the DROID BIONIC both have this ability already - no Ice Cream Sandwich required! Read The Full Story

Verizon: 2m iPhone 4 sales, iPhone 4S demand still huge

, Oct 21st 2011 Discuss [3]

Verizon has announced its Q3 2011 financial results, confirming that around two million iPhone 4 handsets were activated during the three month period, and revealing that first-day iPhone 4S sales were so strong that the carrier still lacks stock. Of the 5.6m smartphones Verizon sold in Q3, over half ran Android; that contrasts with AT&T's figures from earlier in the week, where the iPhone continued to monopolize smartphone sales.

Here’s why the DROID RAZR is the ideal Android for today’s mobile landscape

, Oct 20th 2011 Discuss [61]

Let me tell you here why Motorola presented the ideal phone for a person like me this week in New York City. And also let me tell you why I’m sad it didn’t come out several months ago. First, the positives – they all begin with the heavy metal that makes up the majority of this device. Then let’s speak about how thin and lovely this device very much appears to be. Then we’ll speak about how even though I will be switching to the Galaxy Nexus sooner than later, you certainly don’t have to. This is the DROID RAZR, the greatest Motorola smartphone ever created and soon to be at once the thinnest and the toughest to break smart handset on the market.
