Soon after, those who bought the Droid RAZR became horrified when they learned that Motorola and Verizon were planning to launch the Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX, a phone that is only slightly thicker than the original RAZR but houses a massive 3,300 mAH battery that [...]
You may have heard. Temple Run for Android has finally arrived, just a few weeks after it was officially announced for the platform.

Last night, when I first heard that Motorola was going to be releasing a Droid RAZR Developer Edition, a Droid RAZR that will come with an unlockable bootloader, I was thrilled. Elated. Giddy. Whatever. Turns out, Motorola has somehow managed to screw it up. Just like it did when it promised unlocked bootloaders by the [...]
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.

Up until today, the Motorola Droid RAZR Maxx had been nothing more than a unicorn that was supposedly headed to Verizon’s 4G LTE network.

Earlier this week, we told you about a substantial bug fix update that Motorola and Verizon had planned for the Motorola Droid RAZR, one of the carrier’s latest 4G LTE smartphones.

It would appear that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus isn’t the only Verizon 4G LTE smartphone that is going to receiving an update meant to patch up the experience.

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 [...]
