Motorola has updated its Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade page and it’s bad news for Motorola Droid Bionic owners. The manufacturer has updated the timeline for its devices and while this is more confirmation that the Droid Bionic will be getting Android 4.0, it’s going to be a long wait for owners. Motorola says [...]
Today’s leak of an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich build for the Motorola Droid 4 leaves the Motorola Droid Bionic as the last remaining big name smartphone from Motorola to see any kind of Android 4.0 information leak. And that does not bode well for a swift release. Many Android phones see versions of major [...]
Temple Run for Android has been updated and in addition to bringing fixes for those that were experiencing crashes, the update has also brought support for both the Motorola Droid Bionic and the Motorola Droid RAZR. Earlier this week, Imangi Studios finally released the popular game for Android after it had much success on Apple’s [...]
Don’t look now but it appears that a device masquerading as the Motorola Droid Bionic 2 has appeared in Asurion’s enrollment form which signals one of two things. One, Motorola and Verizon are cooking up another Motorola Droid Bionic or two, this is a placeholder for a device in the future that will be called [...]
You may have heard. Temple Run for Android has finally arrived, just a few weeks after it was officially announced for the platform. Only, in true Android fashion, the game isn’t available for every Android device. That doesn’t shock me. What shocks me is that the list includes two of Android’s most popular names: the [...]

In order to achieve this price,Verizon employed the method that it used when it dropped the price of [...]
Many of you have been waiting for Motorola to dish out information about its plans for Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Today, the company updated its software upgrade news page, and well, the news is probably not going to be the news that many of you wanted to hear as the manufacturer has revealed extremely [...]
Last week, I wrote a post wherein I unleashed my anger about the whole situation surrounding the silence in regards to the HTC ThunderBolt Android 4.0 update. I argued that HTC and Verizon both owe answers to ThunderBolt owners in regards to the update. I don’t care if it’s about the update not ever coming [...]
Remember the Motorola Droid Bionic? We do and apparently Verizon does as well as the carrier is now rolling out an update for the first dual-core 4G LTE smartphone that brings along some enhancements and bug fixes that will surely put a smile on the faces of owners. Of course, it’s not the Android 4.0 [...]
A couple of 4G LTE Droid smartphones on Verizon including the Motorola Droid Bionic and the Motorola Droid RAZR have dropped in price through the carrier’s web store.

It appears that the next Motorola Droid Bionic update, which follows the massive bug fix roll out that happened back in December, is on the cusp of heading out to the public as the software is headed to testers tonight which means that a release should be just around the corner.

And today, it has become apparent that the update is now rolling to members of Motorola’s Feedback Network who will now be testing the update to ensure that it’s ready to [...]
A mailer sent out this week from Verizon advertises a $100 off deal from now till Christmas. The only catch seems to be that you need the mailer in hand to get the deal, and the phone has to be 4G LTE capable device. That means you could score a new Samsung Galaxy Nexus for a [...]
Originally, we had thought that the Motorola Droid Bionic bug fix update would be rolling out in November. That didn’t happen. Then, at the beginning of November, Motorola alerted Droid Bionic owners to a 30-60 day time table in which the manufacturer would roll out the update. Well, today, support documents for said update appeared [...]
As you might know, Verizon is going to be releasing three new 4G LTE devices in the weeks ahead, a list that includes the HTC Rezound, Motorola Droid RAZR and Samsung Galaxy Nexus. All three are tempting but they will all come with an expensive price tag. If you’re not made of money, there is [...]

Well, would you look at that?

Big Red has lowered the on-contract price of the [...]
The Motorola Droid Bionic has had a pretty difficult life. First, it was delayed well beyond its anticipated release date. Then, when it launched, it was backed by an atrocious advertising campaign and a price tag that priced out tons of people hoping to make the upgrade. Then, we learned that owners were plagued by [...]
Yesterday we learned a couple of new details about Google’s latest mobile operating system, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Verizon’s launch of the Motorola Droid Bionic never sat well with me. It has always felt, for lack of a better term, half-baked. This feeling started when Verizon failed to announce a pre-order period for the Droid Bionic, which at the time, was one of the most anticipated releases of the year. It then decided [...]
If Tuesday was all about the iPhone 4S, today has been all about the Samsung Galaxy Nexus as it has not only leaked out on video for the first time but its launch event was cancelled by Google and Samsung in the wake of Steve Jobs’ death on Wednesday. Well, there’s more. It appears that [...]
It’s no secret that Apple likes to take shots at its competitors when announcing new products and today’s iPhone 4S announcement was no different with Verizon’s latest and greatest Android handset, the Motorola Droid Bionic, sitting squarely in Apple’s cross hairs. While talking about the iPhone 4S’ upgraded 8MP camera and its features, Apple’s Phil [...]
The title says it all. It’s becoming quite clear that Verizon or the company it has hired to do its marketing has absolutely no idea how to market smartphones or the carrier’s 4G LTE network. The Motorola Droid Bionic commercials have been terrible for the most part and the advertising that it has done for [...]
I’ve been getting a lot of emails from frustrated Motorola Droid Bionic owners who have been complaining about a number of bugs including issues with the phone making the switch from 3G to 4G and in regards to a mysterious high pitched sound that seems to occur when listening to media through a pair of [...]
The Motorola Droid Bionic, by most accounts, is a fantastic phone. But unfortunately, Verizon really hasn’t found its rhythm marketing it. The commercials with the robot-killing heroine were just plain bad. Verizon then released a couple of ads for the Droid Bionic that were much better than the initial batch. but they still left something [...]
Love it or hate it, the Motorola Droid Bionic is still the best 4G LTE phone on the market and as we get closer to the launch of the iPhone 5 and the Droid Prime, it’s only going to get more attractive. That’s because retailers like Amazon are going to slash the price on it [...]
To celebrate the arrival of Verizon Wireless smartphones, Radio Shack has announced that it will be taking $100 off a purchase of a Verizon smartphone with the signing of a new two year contract.

Last year Toshiba waded into the Android tablet market with the Thrive, a 10.1-inch slate that served as the company’s response to what they deemed missing in the then current crop.

That doesn’t mean that Samsung is shying away [...]
