Gingerbread may have been out for nearly a year and a half now, but did you know there are some phones out there that have been living on nothing but Froyo this whole time? It’s sad and it’s true. Today, though, one abandoned phone is finding a new home on Gingebread: the CLIQ 2. Finally [...]

This morning, Motorola sent out invites to owners of the DROID X2 and DROID 3 to participate in a soak test for new software. It’s tough to tell what is included in either, especially since we saw an update to 1.3.418 for the DX2 back in February. The DROID 3 on the other hand, has [...]
Some weirdness is going on with the Motorola DROID X2, it seems. We know Motorola was prepared to begin soak tests for a maintenance update in the middle of March, but we haven’t really heard from them since. Well, it looks like at least some users are starting to see the update to firmware 1.3.418 [...]

This isn’t the first time that one of our readers spotted a DROID RAZR with magical on-screen navigation keys and Ice Cream Sandwich, but when it happens during a professionally made video from the makers of the device that are promoting it in a contest, we had to point it out again. Come on, Motorola! [...]
Motorola totally reinvented themselves when they brought back the RAZR late last year. By incorporating it in the DROID line with Verizon Wireless it became an instant hit. At only 7.1mm thick, it’s one of the sexiest phones available. Now’s your chance to grab one for FREE. Motorola was gracious enough to give us a [...]
HTC admittedly had a tough 2011 so they promised that 2012 would be better with fewer models and more focus. In late February they unveiled the One series, which consisted of the One X, One S, and One V. If HTC had it their way, that would be it, but unfortunately it’s impossible to make [...]

One of the hottest families of custom ROMs out there these days is the Android Open Kang Project (AOKP). With over 30 builds under their belt since late last year, the project has now reached Milestone 5. What does that mean? Basically, when enough features and fixes have been added to the project to merit [...]

Earlier today we posted IDC’s analytics which heralded Samsung as champion among vendors for both units shipped and market share. Now, the latest comScore has just became available and it too spouts the resounding success of Samsung. To that end, IDC cited the company’s ridiculous 267% year-over-year change. As far as just this past March, [...]
That’s a lofty claim, isn’t it? Isn’t there a new “next generation” every year? Well, to answer that last question, not always. But technology is evolving at such a rapid pace in the mobile world that we can scarcely buy a phone today without something better coming out a month later. And today, just days [...]

Many times when people are bored they turn to activities that can be rather uneventful or sometimes even deviant. In the case of Google engineer Paul Carff, his bout of boredom lead to a project that is neither deviant or uneventful and the term bad-ass definitely comes to mind. Meet KegDroid, aka “Betsy”, Carff’s automated [...]

A Verizon document that appears to be a roadmap with the status and dates of upcoming updates has leaked on Reddit. While something like this could easily be falsified (and we’ve seen incorrect dates in the past) it seems unlikely that someone would go through the trouble of producing a four-page document including BREW update [...]
Motorola doesn’t have the greatest track record when it comes to timely software updates. The Photon 4G in particular has been somewhat neglected since it launched however the good news is that things could be about to change.

Things have changed a lot for LTE fans over the past year or so. Back in the first days of LTE (a time when Verizon was the only LTE carrier in the US), the number of possible choices faced by a potential buyer was restricted to a couple of smartphones, period. But as it stands, [...]
How does another Nexus phone from Samsung sound to you? According to Digitimes, Google is expected to choose Samsung for the development of the next Nexus phone.

It seems like the Dream of owning the latest and greatest Smart Phone is slipping farther and farther away, for just as one phone is released, another is already being made to replace the one that you, now regrettably, just purchased. Motorola Razr Owners, I’m sorry but the rumors are true, there is a bigger [...]
According to DigiTimes (yeah, stop and laugh for a second), it is essentially “given” that Google and Samsung will work together on the next Nexus device. As many of you know, Google goes through a bidding or presentation process of sorts when choosing a phone and chipset manufacturer to produce the next version of their [...]
If you remember, last Friday Facebook for Android updated with some bug fixes. There was only one problem because the update brought a couple of new icons to your app drawer, one titled camera and the other titled messenger.
