Posted by arm On August - 20 - 2011

Furthermore, Motorola’s new DROID HD as well sports microUSB and microHDMI connectivity, together with a microSD card slot.

Posted by arm On August - 8 - 2011

Another addition to Motorola‘s more affordable Android lineup, the Motorola FIRE XT (SPICE XT in South America and XT531 in Asia) certainly isn’t the most powerful Motorola you can buy, but overall the specifications are likely to suit a large number of consumers looking for a first Android phone. The FIRE XT is an Android 2.3 smartphone with a 3.5″ 480 x 320 pixel display, with a 5 megapixel camera on the back plus a VGA resolution camera on the front for video calling.

Motorola Photon 4G (Sprint)

Posted by arm On August - 2 - 2011

The Motorola Photon 4G is an absolute powerhouse of a phone. It ships with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, a dual-core 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, 4G WiMax speeds, a 4.3-inch qHD display, and a dual-mode GSM/CDMA chipset. Features include HDMI-out, DLNA support, Wi-Fi, Mobile Hotspot for up to eight devices, 720p HD video capture, 1080p HD video playback, and secure data encryption. We also like the kickstand. Call quality and overall performance were great. The Motorola Photon 4G has a large and bulky design, which might not be to everybody’s taste. The Motoblur interface isn’t for everyone, and we found Sprint ID to be an unnecessary add-on. The Webtop dock functionality is pretty cool, but it requires a $129 accessory. We expected better photo quality out of the 8-megapixel camera.

A Perfectly Respectable Handset

Posted by arm On July - 20 - 2011

The Droid 3 is a perfectly respectable handset. It’s fast, solid and well made, with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard that’s one of the very best out there, and a good (if slow) camera. The 4-inch screen is large and colourful but do sample it alongside the Nexus S, say, before committing yourself to emailing and surfing on it for a full 2-year contract.The bulky design also smacks of complacency. Where HTC and Samsung are trying to broaden Android’s appeal, the macho Droid 3 is aimed directly at its core constituency of IT professionals and iPhone haters. The risk is that many of those will be happy to wait for the Droid Bionic, unveiled at CES and due to arrive imminently with a larger 4.3-inch screen and that all-important 4G LTE link.It’s far too early yet to write off the Droid range, and the Droid 3 would certainly make a safe choice for anyone who absolutely demands a physical keyboard. But Motorola should take care. One good idea and reliable build quality will only get you so far – today’s handsets need to be genuine all-rounders. Unless keyboards are your thing, this probably isn’t the Droid you’re looking for.

Motorola is beginning to roll out Android Honeycomb 3.2 for its Xoom tablet. The Google update includes a couple of key enhancements that will also roll out to other Android tablets in the near future. The update will introduce a new viewing mode, referred to as “zoom to fill,” and fully enable SD card slots. Motorola will be the first tablet vendor to get this update. Imagine viewing your app at the size of a phone screen then zooming in about 200 percent. Stretch-to-fill is the standard layout resizing, while zoom-to-fill screen is the new screen compatibility mode, according to the blog.

Other improvements include optimizations for 7-inch designs, such as Huawei’s 7-inch MediaPad, and support for Qualcomm chips–not just those from Nvidia, which have been the standard so far for tablets like the Xoom, Acer’s Iconia Tab 500, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1, and Toshiba’s Thrive. Huawei’s tablet, for instance, uses a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.Refurbished Xooms (32GB, Wi-Fi) are now being offered for $399.

Motorola Droid Bionic 4G Smartphone

Posted by arm On July - 8 - 2011

The Droid Bionic, successor to the Droid and the Droid X, looks to be locked for launch.  The good folks over at This Is My Next have published a Best Buy promo advertisement featuring the Bionic. The ad seems real enough, although the poster is missing the precise launch dates and a spec lists. What we can tell from the advert is that the Bionic is aesthetic: a face-lift, some nipping and tucking, and some rounding around the corners. In fact, if you just glance at the Bionic, you could be forgiven for confusing the thing for an iPhone 4. It seems identical, except the Apple home button has been swapped with the familiar Droid button array.

A Killer Smartphone Motorola Atrix

Posted by arm On May - 25 - 2011

After blowing us away at CES the Motorola Atrix gained the coveted top spot in 7~3′s Hot 100. First and foremost it’s a powerful, dualcore smartphone. Add a series of docks, however, and it becomes a multimedia hub or even a 11.6-inch laptop. You can also “transform” it into an alarm clock, but maybe that’s not quite so cool. Solid and well built, the Atrix runs Android 2.2 (Froyo) and exudes a restrained air of competence and power, a bit like a top-class bodyguard. It dresses all in black like one, too. The four-inch. 960×540 touchscreen is responsive, bright, with bold colours. There’s less fine detail than on the iPhone 4, but the slightly large’ size and very pure whites do go some way towards making up for that. The dualcore processor means it never feels slow.

You can quickly swap between open browser windows, maps, games and video playback without it batting an eyelid. At the moment there aren’t many games or apps that make the most of the extra processing oomph, but that should change. Another plus is Motorola’s Motoblur, which adds very neat integration with your social networks, as well as some handy apps Dock the Atrix in the Lapdock or HCMI-connected Multimedia Dock, select the Webtop mode and things get seriously next-gen.On the bigger screen, app shortcuts are arranged along the bottom. You can also add bookma-ks or web apps; settings are accessed in the top corner. If you prefer something more familiar, Mobile View displays a mini version of the Atrix’s home screen.

There, you can click any app as normal and use phone features including calls – a pop-up box indicates an incoming call and you get decent call quality through the mic and speaker – contacts and mail It’s easy enough, even if it’s unsurprisingly not as slick as a proper laptop OS. You can read and edit email attachments using Quick Office, access web-based apps such as Google Docs and Sugar Sync and if your business uses Citrix, you can remotely access a fuII Windows desktop, so you can open and use PowerPoint and Word documents – a very simple yet powerful feature. The docks also give you a full-screen Firefox browser. This works a treat on both our 42-inch TV and Moto’s 11.6-inch Lapdock. s:reaming T3 com. YouTuhe and BBC iPlayor at speed over the N Wi-Fi. Motorola’s slick Entertainment Centre also makes a good fist of showcasing your phone’s media -files.

Motorola Milestone 2

Posted by arm On March - 26 - 2011

The first Milestone had a decent screen and a disappointing keyboard. Motorola has largely put that right with the new Milestone, improving the QWERTY by removing the pointless direction pad and adding larger, better-spaced keys. It still has some way to go to compete with the Torch’s keyboard, but it’s the best on an Android. The inclusion of the MotoBlur overlay also makes the Milestone 2 a more enticing proposition. In veterate social networkers will like the way it very fluidly aggregates different forms of communication from your contacts. MotoBlur also backs up your data to the cloud, which could prove extremely handy. In conjunction with Android 2.2, the Milestone 2 is generally fun to use.

Motorola has provided simple ways to navigate across the seven home screens and there are also some good widgets, including a strip of icons to easily turn N Wi-Fi, aeroplane mode, GPS and Bluetooth on or off from the home scre en. Web browsing is fast and video playback smooth. It’s also Flash-compatible so more of the internet is visible than on the iPhone 4. However, although the 1GHz processor  keeps most things running at a good clip, the touchscreen can be annoyingly slow to respond. With the camera taking decent five-meg stills and very good 720p video, this is a strong handset. However the feeling remains that there’s nothing exceptional about it. You might be better off waiting for the Desire Z if you want Android 2.2 with a QWERTY keyboard…

In a souk in which smartphones become more and more like minuscule, complete computers every day, the Motorola Atrix 4G is taking that evolution to its logical termination.  The Atrix 4G was one of the darlings of CES, and with good cause. The gadget is a amalgam, a wholly functional Android smartphone that can transform into a makeshift laptop on the fly with Motorola’s own custom-built laptop dock, complete with a 11.6″ screen and a full-size keyboard.

The Atrix 4G is a stick out addition to AT&T, a carrier identified more for the iPhone than for really cutthroat Android offerings. But the laptop dock transformation isn’t the Atrix’s only trick. The handset harnesses the speed and power of a dual-core processor, runs on AT&T’s (somewhat contentious) HSPA+ 4G network, and even lets you unlock it through fingerprint recognition. The smartphone is one of the most ruthless we’ve seen in modern memory, but can Motorola truly convey on its promises? Read on to hear what reviewers think about the Atrix 4G, the first dual-core laptop-convertible smartphone.

The Atrix will facet a dual-core (1GHz each) Nvidia Tegra 2 CPU (+ 1 GB RAM ) under the hood which is over and above enough to spark an interest in the community.

Waiting for Motorola Atrix

Posted by arm On January - 29 - 2011

The already eagerly awaited Motorola Atrix is making headlines again this time making a hint of 1080p video capture. Having a dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 CPU roaring inside, it should come as no surprise that this monster droid would offer Full HD recording much like the Optimus 2X, for instance.The gadget is set to initially come with 720p video recording and 1080p playback via it’s HDMI port. So far information on the update concerns only the AT&T version, the Atrix 4G, so we can’t be certain if it will be available for the European version as well. It’s some great news for the fans waitig eagerly for the official launch of the Atrix, especially now that the Tegra-loving LG Optimus 2X is already flaunting it’s fullHD capturing capabilities. Since the 1080p video capture will probably be a major selling point of the Atrix 4G, we really hope Motorola doesn’t take long with the update as it did with the updates of most of its other GSM Android smartphones.
