Moto may not be working just on a future Gingerbread update for the Droid RAZR, as this latest leak suggests that it seems hard on getting an ICS update out the door pretty soon too. The leak, which popped on the DroidRZR forums, seems to be that of an early build of Android 4.0.3 for the RAZR and is good enough to be flashed if you want to get an early preview of the finished product. Significant features include a new lockscreen, an option to put the device on silent/vibration mode directly from the lockscreen and the stock ICS browser. […]

Tablets are so dime a dozen these days that unless something sets a tablet apart, it is sure to be lost in the deluge of slates that’s only increasing as the days go on. For the ZTE Optik tablet, it has got to be its very low price tag, which will read at $99.99 when it becomes available on Sprint starting February 5th. The device will initially be available on the web starting that date but will hit the stores starting March 11, with the same cheap asking price. Read on for the full feature list: 7-inch touchscreen display 1.2GHz

You are better off with your older Droid RAZR since you will be getting pretty much the same specs, but if it’s improved battery life you are looking for, you might want to take a closer look at the RAZR MAXX from Verizon. The device comes loaded with a 3300 mAh battery and Moto promises 21 and a half hours of talktime, but we’ll have to see about that. Announced earlier this month by Motorola, the Gingerbread-powered RAZR MAXX is available right now on Verizon for $300 and apart from its humongous battery power, it boasts of a 4.3-inch SuperAMOLED

An OTA update for the HTC Rezound is in the offing, as the document pertaining to the update has been published by Verizon. We can definitely say that this isn’t an Android 4.0 update and just fixes a few bugs and improves the general usability of the device: Updated signal strength meter to 5 bar Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI). Screen Timeout issues while connected to Wifi have been resolved. Resolved issue with Mobile Hotspot data stalling while multiple users are connected. Improved audio quality during voice call. Reduced forced closures related to the People application. Improved device stability reduces

This mid-range device has been suffering with Froyo for almost a year now, but no more as the Gingerbread update for the device is now en route. Sadly though, this isn’t the latest version (2.3.7) of the update, but an earlier one, Android 2.3.4 – puzzling, we agree, but still a big leap in functionality for the device. Apart from the ones that Gingerbread brings, LG lists these as its improvements: Improved power management Enhanced mobile gaming experience Improved UI to enable faster access and control and a more intuitive user experience One-touch word selection and copy/paste: Better Download management

As revealed earlier, the Pantech-made Element tablet and the Burst smartphone are now available on AT&T. The slate will go for $300 on contract while the smartphone will cost a paltry $50, both on a two-year agreement. Looking to get an edge in the already crowded Android world, Pantech sure has done some of its best work on the Element. If you didn’t catch our early post commending its features, in a nutshell, the device is a 1.2GHz dual-cored device with an 8-inch display, 16GB of onboard memory, LTE support, and Android 3.2 Honeycomb support, which will later be upgraded

The Finnish manufacturer had admitted to issues with the Lumia 800 back in December and also spoke upon a software fix in time to come. It seems that time has come now and the update is now live across the world but you may not actually see it pop up if it hasn’t already. Nokia seems to be adopting a staged approach for the entire process, with some handsets getting the update in the first wave (lasting seven days) and the remaining getting their due in the next seven days. Apart from fixing the battery issue, the update is said

Telus Desire HD users in Canada have something to look forward this week as the update for the Android device is now on its way. The device was initially released in October 2010 with Froyo on board but later made the jump to Gingerbread 2.3. The current update may not bring much different to the table but if the Desire HD didn’t have GTalk voice/video chat before, it should now. As for ICS, it’s up to HTC and Telus to decide on and let it loose, which could take a long time from now. You can confirm if you have

While this mid-range device may not have been the most coveted device when it released last January in terms of features, it did come affordable and it did come with the then-standard version of Android, Froyo 2.2, which were its main selling points. Exactly a year down the line now, the device is old and still stuck with the same Android 2.2 OS that it came with, but XDA member, pax0r, seems to have a remedy for this. He has released a modified version of the Gingerbread-based CM7 ROM and although in the beta stage currently, the build is deemed

The most obvious reason for this cut by Verizon is probably to make space on its shelves for the newly announced Motorola Droid 4 which is scheduled to pop up some time soon in the coming weeks. Anyways, the current price for the Droid 3 will stand at $99 which seems like a good price if you don’t need 4G speeds. Sadly though, you will still have to ink a two-year contract, which seems a tad bit too long to hold on to a device that is already aging by current standards. For $99, you will be taking home an

Spotted at the CES 2012 recently, LG has now stamped the official badge on the new Optimus Pad LTE tablet. The device features an 8.9 inch IPS True HD display spitting out images at 1280×768 resolution with LTE network support – a first for LG on this front. Running the whole show behind the scenes is a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and a heavy 6800 mAh battery to keep things smooth and humming for a long time. Other features that are the norm for an Android tablet do put in appearance but with a camera of 8 megapixels on the back
