Uh-oh. Here comes the cavalry. According to a leaked doc from the Droid-Life forums, the first and perhaps only moddable Motorola Verizon handset is going bye-bye. If that is true, and as a result the phone is discontinued to make way for the Droid 2, it is likely that the Droid will become somewhat of [...]

There was no surprise that RIM’s BlackBerry Tour was hitting its end of life soon seeing how it’s been replaced by the BlackBerry Bold 9650 (see our review here) which is now out for both Sprint and Verizon. Through an image posted by DroidForums.net we see that the much-loved Motorola Droid and the less favorable [...]

What a disturbing piece of news. Apparently, one of the crowning achievements in Android ownership is being brutally disabled in the new Droid X. It’s called “eFuse.” If a verification fails, it sends a command to corrupt the freaking boot process - permanently bricking the phone. To fix it? Why, it requires a hardware repair [...]

Now before I go into too many details, this report came to me this morning, from an AT&T employee who gave me zero evidence to support this other than his/her claim. This makes me incredibly wary of it’s factual basis. Here’s what I was told: the antenna bands on the iPhone will basically be rotated, [...]

After seeing the Motorola Droid X’s teaser page go live there was little doubt that we would see the handset become official very soon. Today at an event in New York City the phone was made official by Motorola and Verizon. As expected the Droid X will boast a 854×480 4.3″ screen, an OMAP processor clocked [...]

Displaymate has posted a detailed comparison between the Nexus One and Droid screens and, well, it’s brutal. They have emerged as saying that the Nexus One screen is an “unfinished prototype” and doesn’t perform nearly up-to-par as a production screen. I humbly disagree with this, as I’ve used the Nexus One for weeks now, and [...]

The day (week, actually) has finally come where Droid owners can stop flagellating themselves to screengrabs of Milestones with Android 2.1 updates. Motorola has issued a press release stating the updates will start rolling out today and continue unabated, if there are no problems, for the rest of the week. Read up for the official [...]

Huh? Ok, so mostly everyone knows that the Motorola Droid update to 2.1 has been delayed, again, again. But good news for owners of the GSM equivalent east of the Atlantic, as the Milestone is now shipping with 2.1 in Germany and Spain, and many Italian owners, and those from Hong Kong, have reported successful [...]

Motorola Droid users just aren’t having any luck. First, their update to 2.01 from 2.0 was delayed, and, again, their 2.1 update from 2.01 has been postponed, without a word of explanation from Motorola. Though the update has gone through to an undisclosed number of testers, the larger deployment has been pushed back due to [...]

Two big stories from Gizmodo for all your VZW Droid users; first, details about the Android 2.1 update emerge and now, a tentative release date. According to the article, 2.1 could start rolling out OTA as soon as tomorrow bringing with it things like pinch-to-zoom in the browser, gallery and Google Maps, voice-to-text entry and [...]
