After yesterday’s mildly-dubious Motorola Shadow leak , the handset has shown up in the wild again, this time courtesy of HowardForums . We described the Shadow as Motorola’s version of the HTC EVO 4G , only without the WiMAX, and that continues to look roughly true; like the EVO 4G the Motorola handset has both microUSB and mini HDMI connections, but it has a 4.1-inch display and a 720MHz OMAP3630 processor.
Now that the long awaited 2.1 update for the Droid has hit, are you bored with it already? Root it and flash a custom ROM. And most custom ROM’s include the 3D draw and 5 home screens. There are many root apps that also add extra functionality to your phone.
Today Motorola launched OCNN, the Ocho Cinco News Network. You might not get the same news quality as you would with CNN but OCNN is sure to be quite entertaining. For those of you that don’t know, Chad Johnson of the Cincinnati Bengals who changed his name to Ocho Cinco and is one of the most outspoken and unpredictable players in the NFL.
The guys over at Engadget has gotten some leaked information on the upcoming Motorola i1. The camera will not be the previously suspected 3MP but a 5MP and Opera Mini has been tapped as the i1’s default browser. If this is true this will be the second Android device not to include one of Google’s core Android apps. Surprisingly enough, like the first, this is also a Motorola Blur device. Anyone getting suspicious yet? Maybe Motorola and Google are having a behind the scenes disagreement. But, once again MotoBlur is not a “Google Experience” phone so it can be modified to the carriers liking.
Verizon has long been a very closed and tight gripped company.
Well isn’t this a treat! We’re used to delays and rarely early arrivals, but TELUS has just surprised us by making the Motorola Milestone available ahead of schedule. The Milestone is better known in the United States as the Motorola Droid and sales figures have been impressive to say the least – I’m sure the pattern in Canada will continue. So how much will it cost you?
Verizon Wireless USED to be one of the most closed, protective carriers on the planet, suffocating features so their users would have to pay extra for them. With the introduction of the Motorola Droid, that paradigm seemed to shift in a HUGE way.
Two days earlier than expected , Motorola’s Milestone has become available to the public via Telus Mobility. For Canadians, that means that you can wrap your palms around one of the sexiest Android devices out for as low as $199.99 on a 3-year contract, while it’ll set you back $499.99 with a 2-year deal, $549.99 with a 1-year agreement or $599.99 outright.
Multiple sources (read: MobileCrunch & BGR ) are claiming that Verizon Wireless will launch a Buy One Get One (BOGO) promotion today that will include both the Motorola Droid and HTC Droid Eris. The Palm Pre Plus, Palm Pixi Plus, LG Chocolate Touch, Samsung Alias 2 and any WinMo phone of equal or lesser value.
