If you’re a globe trotting Verizon customer, your smartphone options can be somewhat limited. However, it appears that Big Red may be looking to bulk up its roster of devices capable of international travel. Said to be coming in the form of a software update, the HTC Rezound, DROID 4, and DROID RAZR are expected

Motorola Mobility has made several updates to its Ice Cream Sandwich update schedule, specifically concerning the DROID RAZR, DROID RAZR MAXX, DROID 4, DROID BIONIC, DROID XYBOARD 8.2 and 10.1, and MOTOROLA XOOM WiFI + 3G.

Verizon Wireless announced on Thursday that it is now selling the Motorola DROID RAZR in blue in select stores around the United States. The carrier said that it will be available to all customers beginning on May 17th directly from its website. The DROID RAZR made its debut late last year but still offers a

In what is likely a move to steal Sprint’s thunder, it looks as though Verizon is preparing to drop the price of its Galaxy Nexus the day after the Now Network’s iteration debuts on April 22. A MAP (minimum advertised price) acquired by Droid-Life reflects the rumored price reduction, which Verizon will reportedly drop to

Verizon’s most recent members of the venerable Motorola Droid line — Razr, Razr Maxx and Droid 4 — will soon be recipients of over-the-air maintenance updates. Verizon on Wednesday changed its product pages to reflect the impending improvements, which promise to introduce a number of enhancements and bug fixes, including better stability, a fix to

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 —  but judging from the completeness of the video series,

We’ve obtained a screen shot from Best Buy’s internal staff site detailing when Verizon Wireless plans to update the DROID RAZR, DROID RAZR Maxx and Rezound to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. We most recently heard that the update would be hitting international RAZR devices during the second quarter but that the U.S. deployment was

Motorola has already told us which devices will receive the much anticipated Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update. Nine devices are already scheduled, although the phone maker hasn’t yet announced exactly when the updates would land. Motorola said Monday that the Razr — currently sold in the United States on Verizon Wireless, as well as

Fear not, Xyboard owners; Motorola is not offering new versions of its 8.2 and 10.1 Xyboards. The confusion around the blogosphere arose because of an apparent marketing e-mail sent out by Motorola touting the tablet line’s resistance to accidental spills. Turns out, the Xyboards currently on the market have been nano-coated for maximum protection against water

I hope you’re sitting down, Verizon customers, because this news is about to make your knees weak. Verizon on Tuesday announced a full list of devices slated to received the Ice Cream Sandwich treatment, and it is sure to please quite a few Android owners.

Verizon employees are in for a treat in the form of a limited-edition cell phone. According to Android and Me, Verizon employees are being offered the option to buy limited-edition versions of the Droid RAZR and Droid RAZR MAXX that will only be made available to Verizon employees. So, what makes the phones limited-edition? The

One drawback to adopting 4G LTE technology is the atrocious battery life handsets suffer. If you’re always on the go, some smartphones are lucky to last a user through lunch. Technology is improving, though, and hopefully its turned a corner for good. Laptop Magazine performed tests on Motorola’s latest handset, the Droid Razr Maxx, and

Motorola plans to bring its “Smart Actions” functionality to more handsets in 2012. The functionality is currently only available in the Droid Razr and soon-to-be-released Droid Razr Maxx, and helps you customize the settings on your phone to meet your own personal needs. Smart Actions, for example, can be set up to do things like

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 electronics become old hat, and the reactions of people who

Verizon Wireless on Tuesday announced the newest addition to its 4G LTE lineup, the Droid Razr Maxx, will be available January 26 for $299.99 on a two-year contract. But we already knew that. If you were hesitant to buy last year’s Razr because of poor battery performance, the Droid Maxx promises to address that issue ten-fold - Maxx

A few weeks ago Verizon let it slip in an ad on its website that the Droid Razr Maxx would be launching January 26. Once Verizon noticed the error, however, it quickly removed the date from the advertisement, replacing it with a “available soon” message. It seems the carrier has had another slipup, and now

Verizon Wireless is ringing in the new year by flipping the LTE switch in five new markets across the nation. Verizon’s LTE rollout happened at a furious pace in 2011, with over 200 million subscribers reached in 190 different markets; that tally is now up to 195, with many more sure to come. If you’re

If you’ve been thinking about picking up a Droid Razr from Verizon, now you get one a little cheaper. Verizon has announced that it will be selling a version of the ultra-thin smartphone without the included 16GB memory card for $100 less than its original asking price. Currently the Droid Razr sells for $299.99 on

In what is sure to stir up the Android and iOS debate, Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, has chimed in with his thoughts on both mobile OSs, admitting that Android has surpassed the iPhone’s functionality in many ways. In fact, there’s one feature in particular Wozniak likes on Android that would almost certainly leave Steve

Over the past few weeks, our own Jon Rettinger certainly hasn’t shied away from expressing his love for the Samsung Galaxy Note. Out of all the devices out there – HTC Titan, Galaxy Nexus, Droid Razr – the Note is currently his phone of choice, with the 5.3-inch screen playing a big factor in that

Those coveting the upcoming Droid Maxx only have to wait a few more weeks until it hits, a slip up suggests.

Since leaking the date, Motorola

Verizon and Motorola today announced a few new additions to their Droid lineup of Android powered smartphones. In addition to the Droid 4, VZW will start carrying a purple version of the Droid Razr.

When the Samsung Galaxy Note was announced a few months back, many wondered whether it was a phone, tablet or something we’d haven’t even heard of. At 5.3-inches of screen, the device absolutely towers over smartphones currently on the market. We got a brief hands-on in September and came away impressed despite its massive size.

It looks like Verizon is celebrating the close of 2011 with another data outage. Tipsters alerted The Verge that Big red’s data service was down in the Chicago area; the website cross-checked that claim and found LTE data to be down in New York City as well. This isn’t the first time Verizon Wireless has
