Verizon's Bright Pink Valentine's Day Edition DROID RAZR M Now On Sale Online And In Stores

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in Motorola, News, RAZR M, Verizon Wireless, Videos

It's time to call up the DROID RAZR M family and congratulate it on a new, ~~slightly~~ much girlier addition. Minutes ago, Verizon Wireless put up the bright pink Valentine's Day-themed variant of the 4.3" Jelly Bean-sporting device for sale on its website.

Update: Verizon has now updated the page and included a $50-off discount, dropping the price down to $49.99.

~~Unsurprisingly, the subsidized 2-year contract price remains unchanged from the black and white versions at $99.99~~, while the month-to-month off-contract option will make your wallet lighter by $549.99. However, if you can manage to contain the excitement and wait for Internet retailers, like Amazon Wireless or Wirefly, to get one in stock, you'll more than likely be able to save $99.98 - after all, the existing RAZR M listings have it for only a penny (black, white).

[Deal Alert] Droid RAZR HD Drops To Just $99 From Amazon Wireless For New Lines And Upgrades

Posted by Ryan Whitwam in News, RAZR HD / RAZR MAXX HD, RAZR M

If you've got some spare holiday cash burning a hole in your pocket, now might be the time to jump on the RAZR HD deal Amazon is offering. If you pick up the device from Amazon Wireless right now, it's only going to run you $99 – no matter if you're a new customer or not. Previously the device was priced at $130, and then only if you were new to Big Red.

The Droid RAZR HD might not have the massive battery of its beefier Maxx brother, but it's a fine device in its own right. The RAZR HD runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chip, has 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage.

[Deal Alert] Verizon's RAZR M Only $0.01 At Amazon Wireless; Many Others On Sale, Too [Updated]

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, Galaxy S III, News, RAZR / RAZR MAXX, RAZR HD / RAZR MAXX HD, RAZR M, Rezound, Verizon Wireless

Last Updated: January 24th, 2013

Update: Amazon just updated the deals and dropped many of the prices down for customers looking to upgrade. For example, the RAZR M is now also just a penny for those renewing.

If you're looking to abandon your existing carrier and move to Big Red, then the RAZR M is a great phone to choose for the transition. And now you can grab it from Amazon Wireless for only a penny (Black, White). That's a top-notch phone with Jelly Bean (4.1.x) for basically free - and it's still $99 at Verizon.

If, for some strange reason, you'd rather have an older model, Amazon Wireless is running a number of other devices for a penny, like the RAZR MAXX, HTC Rezound, and the DROID Incredible LTE.

Android 4.1 For The Motorola Razr M Rolling Out Now

Posted by Cameron Summerson in News, RAZR M, Verizon Wireless

Motorola promised that the Razr M would get its taste of Jelly Bean before year's end. Of course, when we hear "before year's end," it's just assumed that means December 29th or 30th. In this case, we have been pleasantly surprised, as the M's JB update is on its way out now.

Announced just moments ago by Verizon Wireless, the OTA brings all sorts of goodies to the smallest of the RAZR family, including Google Now, Project Butter (for smoothness), better voice recognition, enhanced notifications, a better keyboard, and more.

To see if the update is available on your device, head into Settings > About phone > System updates > Download.

If you were thinking about picking up one of Motorola's newest Android handset, maybe this will push you over the edge. Android tinkerer Dan Rosenberg has published a root exploit that should work on almost all of Motorola's recent devices including the RAZR M, Atrix HD, Photon Q, RAZR i, and the upcoming RAZR HD.

The exploit is exceptionally easy to run. All you have to do is get your device plugged in with USB debugging on. Download the .ZIP file from the source link below onto your Windows PC, and launch the 'run.bat' file. You will get a series of instructions guiding you through the process, but it should only take a few minutes.

[Leak] Jelly Bean For The RAZR M Makes Its Way To The Net, Seems To Work Great

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Leaks, News, RAZR M

Back when Motorola announced the RAZR M, HD, and MAXX HD, they promised Jelly Bean before the end of the year. Looks like the M may be first on the list to get the update, because a leaked build (4.1.1/9.8.1Q_25/35) showed up online last night. We chose to hold off on posting, as Artem started this thread on XDA so we could get some feedback before telling users to flash a buggy or incomplete ROM. The initial reports have been good, so we feel comfortable recommending the ROM at this point.

As always, though, there are caveats to be aware of.

[Deal Alert] Droid RAZR M $50 With New Contract Or Upgrade From Wirefly

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, RAZR M, Verizon Wireless

Last Updated: January 24th, 2013

$99 is a good deal for a solid mid-range device like the Droid RAZR M. That makes $50 a steal. And that's how much you can now get it for at Wirelfy, regardless of whether signing a new contract or re-upping your existing dedication to Big Red.

Specs:

4.3" 540x960 display with "almost no borders" and Gorilla Glass
1.5GHz dual-core processor
1GB RAM
8GB storage, microSD card slot
4G LTE connectivity
8MP rear shooter
NFC
60.9 x 122.5 x 8.3; 126g
2000mAh battery
Android 4.0.x

If you're feeling uncertain about this device, I suggest taking a look at Ron's review.

Motorola Announces The RAZR i With A 2GHz Intel CPU And 4.3-Inch Display, Launching In Europe And Latin America Next Month

Posted by John Thompson in News, RAZR i

Motorola has just revealed its first smartphone powered by an Intel mobile processor, the RAZR i, at an event in London this morning. Although the exterior of the new device shares a lot of similarities with the previously released RAZR M, such as a 4.3-inch display and Kevlar coating on the back, it couldn't be more different inside, packing an Intel CPU clocked at 2GHz.

Motorola claims that the processor is "40% more efficient" than the competition, comparing the RAZR i to the iPhone 4S, so it will be interesting to see how much usage can be squeezed out of the phone's 2,000mAh battery.

[Deal Alert] Motorola DROID RAZR M Only $50 With A New Contract From Amazon Wireless

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, News, RAZR M

The DROID RAZR M just landed on Verizon yesterday for $99. A little while later, it dropped to $80 on Wirefly. Now, you can get both the white and black versions from Amazon Wireless for just $50 with a new two-year agreement (proof that you should never order anything directly from the carrier, especially on launch day). If you're already a Verizon customer, you can still get this solid mid-ranger for $70, which is $10 cheaper than anywhere else.

Specs:

4.3" 540x960 display with "almost no borders" and Gorilla Glass
1.5GHz dual-core processor
1GB RAM
8GB storage, microSD card slot
4G LTE connectivity
8MP rear shooter
NFC
60.9 x 122.5 x 8.3; 126g
2000mAbh battery
Android 4.0.x

If you're on the fence about this device, I suggest taking a look at Ron's review.

[Deal Alert] Droid RAZR M Pops Up On Wirefly For $80 (20% Off) For New And Upgrading Customers

Posted by Eric Ravenscraft in Deals, RAZR M

The RAZR M was certainly one of the more interesting phones Motorola announced last week, even if it did come with a disappointing definition of "edge-to-edge." Today, the phone launched on Verizon Wireless, but if you're already looking to score a discount, Wirefly has both the black and white versions available for $79.99 with a new two-year contract, or for upgrading customers.

Keep an eye out for Ron's review of the RAZR M later today. No matter what he ends up saying about this phone, though, Motorola is starting to make us excited again. While this phone won't be shipping with Jelly Bean, Motorola has promised you'll see it before year's end.
