A new Android 4.0.3 build has leaked for the Motorola Droid RAZR bringing its software to version 6.7.407. The catch? It isn’t freely available to download just yet. Instead we are being treated to a series of screen captures that show off the extent of Motorola’s UI customizations. Surprisingly, the Ice Cream Sandwich core hasn’t [...]

Ideally, manufacturers should release products with features that customers want. But some specs may be a bit impossible to feature together. There seems to be a new trend in the market – non-removable batteries. This allows manufacturers to pack things together and make devices much thinner. But is that really what we want? Having a [...]

Popular devices are getting their root methods soon after their release (sometimes before). It took the LG Spectrum a month to get its share of rooting goodness. But it is finally possible, thanks to security researcher Dan Rosenberg. He is also responsible for bringing root methods to many Motorola devices, so there is some good [...]

Verizon Wireless continues to take over the US with its super-fast 4G LTE network. And while we think we might be hearing these news a bit too often, Verizon is not stopping until they have the whole country covered by 2013. Big Red has just added 7 new markets to the list, including the following: [...]

Motorola is contacting members of their Feedback Network in search of testers for a new software update to none other than the Droid X. Given its age and the release of the Droid X2 last year, there didn’t seem to be much hope for further support of the 4.3-inch phone that set the bar pretty [...]

HTC took to Facebook today to confirm that more of their phones would be getting Ice Cream Sandwich. They called it the “North America edition” because all of these devices can be had on the illustrious continent. We’ve got the Rezound, which was already confirmed, alongside the DROID Incredible 2, the HTC Thunderbolt and the [...]

Well, I almost completely forgot that this phone existed. The Galaxy S Phone with a pointless secondary display may have bowed out of the market unwanted, but that doesn’t stop Samsung and Verizon from supporting it with updates. The device has finally gotten an update to a new major version of Android and that version [...]

Today is bonus day for Verizon Wireless workers! Some odd 82,000 employees will be getting a bonus of 6%-10% of their base salary following a strong fourth quarter and a strong 2011 overall. On top of that, workers will begin to receive merit raises of 2.5%. While this news may not seem pertinent to you [...]

Late last year, we heard of two phones called the LG Spectrum, which has been officially released, and the HTC Fireball, which we still know almost nothing about. We do know that it’ll have 4G LTE (what Verizon phone doesn’t these days?) and may have GSM radios for global use. Today you can also add [...]

The Motorola DROID Xyboard seems to have attracted a good chunk of developers. It has been rooted, according to MyDroidWorld admin bignadad. They say it’s been tested with the 10.1 inch version and it should work on the 8.2 version, though we can’t say for sure if that’s the case. Unfortunately, no one can say [...]

Verizon and LG are teaming up to celebrate the release of Star Wares Episode 1: The Phantom Menace 3D. You can win one of five LG Spectrums, the dual-core device from LG which can also guzzle data fast with its 4G LTE radios. Simply Darth Maul yourself using the Darth Maul Me app, tweet the [...]

The folks at Verizon are dropping the price of the DROID Bionic to $99. It is still a pretty good phone with a TI OMAP4 dual-core processor and a 4.3 inch qHD display, and Verizon and Motorola continue to support the device with software updates. Unfortunately, with this price drop comes a sacrifice – that [...]

Verizon has one of the more minor network upgrades we have seen recently scheduled to go live tomorrow, February 16th. The focus is on expanding coverage in current markets, but Big Red will still find time to activate one new market. The folks of Cookeville, TN will be the sole beneficiaries of new LTE coverage [...]

Motorola has updated their Android Software Upgrade timeline with some new information regarding Android 4.0 for several devices. Ice Cream Sandwich will begin rolling out to the the Motorola XOOM Family Edition and a selection of international handsets including the Motorola RAZR in Q2. In Q3, the Motorola Atrix 4G, Atrix 2, and Photon 4G [...]

While I can’t say any of us were exactly surprised when we heard that anonymous sources over at Droid-Life have been hinting that the white version of the Galaxy Nexus could soon be arriving to Verizon Wireless stores, and as early as this week. Apparently, this white version will be the slightly downgraded 16GB model [...]

There’s not much time left, but if you hurry, you can get in on Motorola’s Valentine’s Day contest being held on their official Facebook page. To enter, all you have to do is simply download the image of the cute Android cupid on their Facebook page, place the image in a photo of you and [...]

Verizon employees are being given the opportunity to own a smartphone that most will never get their hands on, a limited edition Motorola Droid RAZR. The phone not only comes in an exclusive red and black deco and a free dock, but it is being offered for only $99. Verizon is also providing employees with [...]

The Motorola DROID 3 may soon be due for an update. There is no word on soak testing but the development community have gotten their hands on two new builds for the device, both of which can be flashed in the stock recovery without root. The catch is that you won’t be able to revert [...]

Those who were waiting for quick developments on a Motorola Droid 4 overclock can stop looking for one. New modules have been released for the newly-launched device which make it possible to overclock the OMAP4 processor from 1.2GHz to 1.4GHz. It’s not a huge jump – in fact, it probably won’t make much of a [...]

Verizon Wireless has been on a roll this past year. They’ve probably covered more Americans with 4G in one year than any of their competitors combined. One market they’re proud of is New England where they mentioned that $297 million went into one of  their biggest regional expansions, enhancements and launches yet. On the year, [...]
