The software update for both devices are [...]
The Droid RAZR is just months old, but Motorola has already seen fit to introduce another mmber to the RAZR family, the Droid RAZR MAXX. The Droid RAZR (review) was known for a super thin design and Kevlar back, but it lacked in the battery life department. We saw 11-12 hours of battery life in [...]
Verizon and Motorola announced the Droid RAZR MAXX at CES last week with no release date or pricing. Not getting that data was no surprise and sometimes phones announced at CES don’t get released for quite some time. I don’t know if anyone remembers the original, Windows Mobile powered Xperia. It wasn’t released until it [...]
The often leaked and rumored Motorola Droid 4, successor to the Droid 3 and the original Motorola Droid, was speculated to have been launched on December 22, but the device was mysteriously delayed by Verizon.

The Motorola Droid 4, an Android handset with a QWERTY slide-out keyboard and 4G LTE support on Verizon’s network, was speculated to arrive today, December 22.

The Xoom 2 may get a re-brand on Verizon Wireless when those tablets launch. The slates may give up the Xoom branding for the Xyboard (pronounced cy-board, like cyborg), name. The carrier has been experimenting with various names for its smartphones lately. The most recent case is with the HTC Vigor, a device that was [...]

With the reports that Sprint will carry the iPhone 5, it’s almost certain that this coming new iPhone launch will destroy every iPhone launch before it (which have crushed every other phone launch ever).

The Motorola Droid Bionic is a fantastic phone. We said so in our review of it. However, for some reason, Verizon decided that its first dual-core 4G LTE smartphone, one of the best phones on the market, wasn’t worthy of a fantastic advertising campaign. The first commercials we saw, were, in a word, horrible. Sure, [...]
According to CNN, Verizon will re-launch its V CAST Apps Android app store today and will re-brand it as Verizon Apps. It will, like V CAST Apps currently does, be separate from the Android Market and it will, of course, come per-installed on Verizon’s Droid smartphones.

After the Motorola Droid 2 and Droid 2 Global both got boosts up to Gingerbread, we figured it would only be a matter of time before Verizon’s special edition Droid 2 R2-D2 handset would see the update and sure enough, shortly after the other Droid 2′s got Android 2.3, owners of the Star Wars branded [...]
Verizon’s first 4G LTE smartphones will soon get successors with much improved specs.
