Guess what people? Yup, the day has arrived! The Motorola Atrix, voted “Best Smartphone” at CES 2011 and one of the most anticipated devices to to launch this year has finally landed at Bell! In case you aren’t familiar with some of the highlights of this bad-boy, it features the following industry leading specs: [...]

  Unless you have been living under rock for the last few months, if you follow wireless news in Canada you will know that Bell is gearin’ up to launch the Motorola Atrix in just a matter of days (Wednesday the 17th if you’re one to keep tabs). Well guess what? Luckily for us at the site, [...]

Good news comes from Motorola Co-CEO Sanjay Jha today, who claims that Motorola’s social-focused Android skin MOTOBLUR, will begin to be phased out of the company’s future handsets. While Motorola had the right idea with MOTOBLUR, the implementation is off and the skin mostly results in a slower and more jumbled Android experience. Dr. Sanjay [...]

Do we really need a BlackBerry-like QWERTY Android handset? Does anyone really intend to do the type of mass communications on an Android device that they readily do on their BB? I suppose there is a certain market for it. And, considering the youthful name (charm bracelet OMG), I am not exactly T-Mo’s target demographic [...]

This phone has a lot of potential. It’s well-built and well-designed. Its hardware keyboard is usable, and even intuitive, and that’s saying something coming from the Milestone. Though it runs Android 1.5, what Moto has done with the MOTOBLUR skin is interesting: they have given people with limited time a way to view many snippets [...]

First it was the BACKFLIP on Telus; then the DEXT from Bell; now, Rogers has released its Social View phone, the QUENCH. The phone, which we tried at the launch party for MOTOBLUR last month, was well received amongst journalists and fans, but in my opinion, was the least exciting of the three MOTOBLUR phones. [...]

Finally, the Rogers lineup of Android smartphones is starting to make sense. With the MOTOBLUR launch party having come and gone and Telus recently releasing the Backflip, it seemed obvious that Rogers shed some light on their upcoming MOTOBLUR device, the QUENCH. At the top, for $149.99, they have the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. Even though it [...]

Bell Canada is launching their take on the Motorola MOTOBLUR revolution, and they may just be the lucky ones with the best phone of the three (the other two being the QUENCH and the BACKFLIP). Telus launched the BACKFLIP last week to little fanfare, and Rogers has included the QUENCH on their list of Social [...]

Bell hit us with another doozy this morning: they are undercutting Telus by $20 on their newest MOTOBLUR phone, the DEXT. Not a bad phone, and definitely preferred to the BACKFLIP, this phone will not knock anyone’s socks off, but is a good mid-range phone with a nice Motorola design.

It’s finally available! The wait is over, everyone can calm down now! The Motorola BACKFLIP is available at Telus stores now for $99 on a 3-year activation with a voice/data plan of $50/month or more. So, in other words, it’s not cheap. Should you buy it? I think, no. For less money you can get [...]
