Clearly Verizon Wireless is happy with its Motorola Mobility relations: the carrier just announced three new Motorola RAZR-branded smartphones earlier this week. Motorola is just as excited to be working with Verizon Wireless and it recently said it won’t take its RAZR brand name to…

A new RAZR-branded handset equipped with LTE is reportedly on its way to Verizon. Equipment guide screenshots acquired by Engadget show off what is being called the Motorola DROID RAZR M 4G LTE (mouth full, ugh), a device that looks more in line with AT&T’s…

Verizon’s Motorola DROID RAZR, which currently retails for $199.99 with a new two-year contract from the carrier’s own website, is now available for just $0.01 with a new contract from AmazonWireless. The phone isn’t high-end anymore, and you’d be better off with the huge battery…

The wait is over for owners of the DROID RAZR and RAZR MAXX as the Ice Cream Sandwich update has finally arrived. Despite the announcement of Jelly Bean this week, Ice Cream Sandwich is still chugging along as the latest update to hit many Android…

Verizon is dangling Ice Cream Sandwich right in front of DROID RAZR and RAZR MAXX owner faces. Reports on Friday revealed the carrier has begun to send out teasing messages about the OS’s imminent arrival, with no exact date to speak of. “Free Verizon Message:…

The 8-bit Motorola smartphone you see above is supposedly the DROID RAZR HD, the very same we’ve hearing about for a while now. Acquired by Droid-Life, the phone in the photo looks to have shaved much of its “hump,” as it were, from the previous…

The HTC Rezound and Motorola Droid Razr are two major new Android phones arriving at Verizon within days of each other (Razr – today, Rezound – November 14), so it stands to reason a lot of people have some tough buying decisions ahead of them.…

The Motorola Droid Razr is an attempt to harken back to the flip phone of years gone by that sold tens of millions units and became the benchmark by which all other phones at the time were judged. It was actually so successful that Motorola…

Motorola’s RAZR MAXX HD is a bigger, badder version of the MAXX that hit last year. Still equipped with its Kevlar armor, the device is designed to get folks through the day and then some. And then some more. With its 3300mAh battery, the MAXX…

To prepare Motorola Droid RAZR users for Ice Cream Sandwich, tutorial videos have hit the Web detailing what kind of experience users can expect once the update hits. We’re still not sure when exactly that’ll be — we thought we’d see it on April 4…

Not to get all curmudgeonly on smartphone manufacturers, but the rate at which “new” Android phones hit the market is getting ridiculous. There was a great Best Buy commercial early last year that perfectly captured my sentiment. Titled Outdated World, the ad shows how quickly…

Reviewing one of 2011′s most anticipated phones is no easy task. We’ve had our hands on the GSM flavor for over a month now (the Verizon version for about a week), and even that amount of time has left us feeling conflicted. Mostly the Galaxy…

When we got our hands-on the HTC Rezound earlier this month, we came away thoroughly impressed. It’s packed with a quick 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM, Verizon’s 4G LTE and an absolutely stunning 4.3-inch 720p display that gives the Retina variety on the iPhone a run for…
