Motorola’s first batch of Google-influenced phones are expected to start appearing on the market around the second half of 2013. According to Google, they are planing to put the “WOW” into Motorola’s already superior smartphones. Since Google’s purchase of Motorola back in May 2012, they have left Motorola to do their own thing, waiting for the right time to step in and add some Google flair. » Read the rest

The unlocked international model is now available for pre-order from MobiCity for just $849. That may seem like a hefty price to pay, but keep in mind you’ll be getting the only 5-inch full HD display currently on the market.

Motorola DROID RAZR M, RAZR i, RAZR HD and Atrix HD all receive root method

As with any other Android device, root is eventually achieved. The Motorola DROID RAZR M, RAZR i, RAZR HD and Atrix HD have all received root thanks to XDA user djrbliss. The process that exploits root in these devices is called Motofail2Go and is a virtual one-click root process.

You’ll need a Windows PC, Motorola’s latest USB drivers and the program itself. If you’re brave and willing to give this a shot then head on over to the source link for instructions and more information regarding this rooting process.

New Jelly Bean ROM Now Available For… The Original Droid?

tagged droid, Jelly Bean, OG Droid, ROM, XDA

In November, the original DROID turns three. That makes it officially “long in the tooth” when it comes to smartphones. It’s the phone that really put Android on the map, and for that it holds a special place in many developers’ hearts. One such XDA developer, kfazz, has just extended the life of the DROID by releasing a pretty stable Jelly Bean ROM.

The ROM seems to run quite well. Obviously, the three year old hardware can’t keep up with today’s devices, but Project Butter shows through even on lesser hardware. The only thing not quite working yet is the camera, but give it time.

Hit the break to see a video of Jelly Bean running on the DROID, and head on over to XDA for the download link.

False alarm; Motorola will not be releasing a new 4G LTE device this friday

by Macky Evangelista on Aug 7th 2012, 5:16pm
tagged droid, Facebook, motorola, RAZR HD

Earlier today we reported that Motorola posted a teaser on its Facebook site indicating a new device coming Friday. While everyone assumed it would be the Motorola RAZR HD due to the numerous leaked photos, it turns out the post on Facebook was actually just a game. Becki Leonard, a spokesperson for Motorola, released a statement: “We’re sorry for the confusion, but it’s a Facebook game asking people to guess a current smartphone and not meant to come across as a new phone.”

It was an easy mistake to make as the post was quite ambiguous to begin with. It asked people to “guess the smartphone” and that clues would be revealed each day until it would ultimately be unveiled on Friday. When Facebook commenters started throwing out the RAZR HD, Becki Leonard denied the rumors and stated, “It’s a phone already on the market. It’s which current smartphone is this?”

I’m sure this news will sadden some folks as the RAZR HD has been an anticipated device from Motorola. Hopefully news of the RAZR HD’s release will leak out soon, and we’ll be sure to inform you as soon as we know.

Yesterday we showed you some leaked photos of the Droid RAZR HD, and today we’ve got a couple more. You can see more clearly the texture on the back, which is slightly different than what we saw yesterday.

More important than the fancy carbon-fiber-esque look, is the fact that there’s a nice big Verizon LTE logo there. One more screenshot below as well, showing the Android version that the HD is sporting.

Motorola XT907 photo shows up

tagged 4G LTE, droid, motorola, RAZR HD, verizon wireless, XT905, XT907

A new image has shown up on the web purporting to be a Motorola XT907. The device carries Verizon and 4G LTE badging on the back cover. All other details are sketchy at this point. We do know the Motorola XT905 is in the works as well with a qHD screen running at 540×960 resolution. Some sources have reported the XT907 will have very small bezels and run on a Snapdragon S4 processor. Given the model numbers, it seems the XT907 and XT905 are likely similar phones, but further down the model range than even the original RAZR (XT912) and the forthcoming RAZR HD (XT926)

The photo reveals a phone with rounded corners which does not seem consistent with the RAZR lineup. It may be possible this is a mid-range model meant to complement the RAZR HD when released later this year.
