Earlier this week, Android 2.3 Gingerbread became available to Droid X owners online, as a tethered manual install. For some, manual updates are a walk in the park, and for others, a complete nightmare. Anyone’s whose impatience led to a bricked phone knows exactly what I’m talking about. Luckily, Motorola‘s Droid X will be receiving an OTA (over-the-air) update to get Android 2.3 Gingerbread, starting today. → Read More
Attention, Droid X owners and lovers. Word is that your handset of choice is getting some tasty Gingerbread as soon as next week. Business phones will get the update first starting on Sunday, but a general roll-out seems imminent. Droid Life states via a friend in the business that 2.3 is done and it’s just up to Verizon/Moto to roll it out. The new version will bring 2.3 and a refreshed Blur interface that should remake the seven month old Droid X into a lite version of the Droid Bionic. We’ve reached out to several Verizon sources but haven’t heard anything yet. File this in the rumor folder right now, but as a Droid X owner myself, I can’t help but get as excited as Al Roker. → Read More
The iPhone 4 hasn’t even been out a week yet. But that apparently isn’t stopping rivals from pivoting ad campaigns to play to its weaknesses as quickly as possible.
Today, Motorola ran a full page ad in the New York TImes to show off its new Droid X device which is launching this Summer on Verizon’s network. Check out the full ad below touting its features, but be sure to read the copy below. Here’s the key part: → Read More

Oh, you thought Verizon was done dumping mad money into advertising their Droid line after the launch of the first one? Yeah, nope. They’ve just posted a crazy flashy teaser video for the Droid X — a handset that isn’t even officially announced yet — complete with hidden easter eggs for the detail obsessed. Join us after the break for the frame-by-frame. → Read More
The Android arena is a tough one to play in, man. One manufacturer might have the baddest handset on the block one week, only to have the competition release a superior monster-of-a-phone a week later. The rate at which these things are being cranked out doesn’t give the carriers — or their customer — any time to figure heads from tails. If we had to guess, we’d say that mandatory haste is a big part of the reason why Verizon just went ahead and confirmed the existence of the Droid X just days prior to an upcoming Droid press event. → Read More
With the Droid, Droid Eris, and Droid Incredible all launching within the last year, is Verizon really ready for yet another addition to the Droid line? (Our say: Who cares? Keep’em coming!) Ready or not, here comes the Droid X.. → Read More
Man – is Motorola just giving out new, unannounced handsets to everyone they see carrying a camera? Between the Droid Xtreme, and the Droid 2, the number of leaks is starting to get silly.
With that said, keep’em coming! Today’s latest batch of leaked goods comes in the form of gloriously sharp shots of the Droid 2′s keyboard-less brother, the Droid Xtreme. → Read More
Ever since childhood, I’ve always thought that adding metal to something automatically made it that much cooler. Slap some tin foil on a few paper towel rolls for example, and you’ve got yourself a nifty homemade Star Wars blaster. Ditto for enhancing your punching power with a roll of quarters when facing a bully on the playground. Someone in Motorola’s design division must have felt the same way, since newly-leaked photos of the new Droid Xtreme (or X, or Shadow, or whatever) reveal a new solid metallic frame that’s sure to be a welcome addition to the Verizon’s Android lineup. → Read More
