If you have the Motorola Droid Bionic then you probably would've been upset that Motorola released the DROID RAZR shortly after. If you grabbed the DROID RAZR then you'll be even more upset that Motorola and Verizon have just released the DROID RAZR MAXX which packs a whopping 3,300mAh battery. Apparently, you're able to get 21 hours of talk time on a single charge with this so you'll actually be able to put that 4G (LTE) connectivity to some good use. The device is still very thin and it'll cost you $299.99 on a 2-year contract or $649.99 contract-free if you're interested. Check it out on Verizon.

If you've been waiting for this generation's Motorola RAZR then it's now available on Fido in Canada. The smartphone can be yours for $100 on a 3-year contract or for $525 contract-free. This handset features a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display, a dual-core 1.2GHz CPU, an 8MP camera, and Android "Gingerbread". Check it out on Fido.

It leaked last month and now it's official. Verizon has just announced the Motorola DROID 4 which is taking design cues from their latest devices. The smartphone itself features a 4-inch qHD display, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, a dual-core 1.2GHz CPU, an 8MP camera, a front-facing camera, LTE (4G) connectivity, and Android 2.3.5 with a future upgrade to Android 4.0. The price is unknown right now and the device is set to hit the carrier in a few weeks.

Motorola has just announced their latest and greatest device to-date. This one's the MT917 and it's headed for the Chinese market - it leaked last week. This smartphone packs a 4.5-inch display with a 1,280 x 720 resolution, a 13MP camera, and an 8.5mm thin body (at its thinnest point). This one should be available in the middle of December but there's no word if it'll be hitting anywhere outside of China at this point.

Droid-Life has just gotten a bit of proof that the Motorola DROID 4 should be hitting Verizon soon - rumoured to be December 8th. The carrier's employees are reportedly going through their training right now and the official spec sheet has just leaked. The DROID 4 looks like it's set to feature a 4-inch qHD display, a dual-core 1.2GHz CPU, 1GB of RAM, 4G (LTE) connectivity, an 8MP AF camera with an LED flash, a front-facing camera, 16GB of storage, WiFi b/g/n / aGPS / Bluetooth support, HDMI / DLNA, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a slide-out 5-row QWERTY edge-lit keyboard, and Android 2.3 "Gingerbread". The price is unknown right now but you should expect it soon.

If you're interested in a Facebook phone that does not run the Android OS then here's the MOTOKEY SOCIAL from Motorola. This handset packs a QWERTY keyboard, a 3MP camera, WiFi support, and a 2.4-inch touchscreen display. This handset is available right now on Telus for $89.99 contract-free so that's actually pretty darn cheap.

Bell, in Canada, has just released the Motorola PRO+ 4G for free on a 3-year contract and for $349.95 contract-free. As the name implies, this handset sports HSPA+ support and also sports a 3.1-inch touchscreen display, a QWERTY keyboard, a 1GHz CPU, a 5MP camera with an LED flash, WiFi support, and Android "Gingerbread". Check it out on Bell.

Motorola has just announced two new tablets that leaked a few months ago. Yes, it's the XOOM 2 and the XOOM 2 Media Edition. First off, the XOOM 2 packs a 10.1-inch display while the Media Edition features a smaller 8.2-incher. Inside they both have a dual-core 1.2GHz CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 5MP camera, a 1.3MP front-facing camera, 16GB of storage, and Android 3.2 "Honeycomb". They're both under 9mm thin (8.8mm for the XOOM 2 and 8.9mm for the Media Edition) and will be hitting the UK and Ireland in mid-November. The US release date is unknown right now and they didn't announce the price but the XOOM 2 should be €399.

Finally, a clear photo of the Motorola EX225 has leaked and it's coming from Mobile Syrup. This device has a Facebook button and it has already hit the FCC. This will reportedly be hitting Telus in Canada as the MOTOKEY SOCIAL. Apparently, the handset will only be available on the carrier on a pre-paid plan but we can't complain.

If you're interested, this one features a 2.4-inch touchscreen display, a QWERTY keyboard, a 3MP camera, WiFi support, and a 9.9mm thin body. The OS is unknown right now but it actually might not be running Android since it's missing the soft-key buttons and it's definitely not running Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich." It should be a cheap one.

Droid Life has just managed to get the picture you see above. It's reportedly the Motorola DROID 4 which has leaked early but that could be because it'll be a slight upgrade over the last model. The slide-out QWERTY keyboard looks unchanged and the Verizon branding is underneath the Android touch buttons. This is likely a prototype model though since the DROID 4 should launch next year and hopefully with Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" which eliminates the need for those buttons. Specs are said to be a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, LTE (4G) support, a dual-core 1.2GHz TI OMAP4430 CPU, and 1080p video recording. Release date for this one is unknown right now but it could be in Q2 / Q3 of 2012 so things are subject to change.

Bell has just announced that they'll be bringing the Motorola Pro+ 4G to Canada. The handset is packing a 3.1-inch touchscreen display with a 640 x 480 resolution, a 5MP AF camera with an LED flash, a 1GHz CPU, a QWERTY keyboard, WiFi support (with hotspot capabilities), HSPA+, 4GB of storage, 512MB of RAM, and Android "Gingerbread". The 3-year contract price is unknown right now but it should be dropping on November 7th for $349.95 contract-free.

Last week Motorola announced the DROID RAZR and it look like Rogers in Canada will be releasing it. The smartphone has just shown up internally and could be launching in early November. The device should cost you $149.99 on a 3-year contract and $549.99 contract-free according to the leak above. The DROID RAZR features a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED qHD display, a dual-core 1.2GHz CPU, an 8MP camera, a front-facing camera, a 7.1mm thin body, and Android 2.3 which will eventually get updated to Android 4.0.

Motorola's event was this morning and may have come at a bad time since we're expecting Samsung and Google to blow our minds away later tonight. They did announce a few products that you may be interested in though and the first one was the Motorola DROID RAZR which is above. This smartphone is packing a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED qHD display, 16GB of storage, a microSD card slot (with another 16GB of storage pre-loaded), a dual-core 1.2GHz CPU, 1GB of RAM, an 8MP camera, a front-facing camera, LTE (4G), a Kevlar coating (with Splash Guard), and Android 2.3.

That's not all though, it doesn't have the RAZR name for nothing. Most of the smartphone measures in at just 7.1mm thin which makes it the thinnest one on the market. It gets fat around the top of the phone though, since they had to make room for the camera. Pre-orders for this one will start on October 27th and it'll cost you $299.99 on a 2-year contract when it's released in early November. The DROID RAZR will also be accompanied by the new Lapdock 500 Pro which was announced today. It sports a 14-inch display and it looks like it has taken design cues from the MacBook Pro.


Update: Mobile Syrup has just mentioned that Rogers will be releasing this one in November. The price is unknown for Canadians right now but you'll, obviously, be stuck on a 3-year contract.

Update: Looks like Android Central has just mentioned that Rogers will exclusively carry this smartphone in Canada and it'll cost $149.99 on a 3-year contract which isn't bad at all.

To combat the iPod Nano, Motorola has also announced the MotoActv which you can wear on your wrist. This device is set to be for Fitness people - if you couldn't figure it out from the name - and it features an integrated GPS, an FM radio, WiFi, and a heart rate monitor. This device will be available on November 6th for $249 (8GB) and $299 (16GB) which seems expensive to me.

The Motorola Atrix 2 was announced at CTIA last week and it looks like it's now available on AT&T. The carrier has released it for $99.99 on a 2-year contract which isn't bad at all. The Atrix 2 features a 4.3-inch qHD display, 1GB of RAM, an 8MP camera, a front-facing camera, HSPA+ support (up to 21Mbps), and Android 2.3. Like I said, it's only $100 so they're pricing these to move - even Motorola and AT&T know that a new set of superphones are on the way. Check it out on AT&T.

CTIA has just started and AT&T in the US has just announced five new Android phones. First off, the Motorola Atrix 2 took the stage. This one is just like the rumours suggested: a 4.3-inch qHD display, an 8MP camera, a front-facing camera, HSPA+ support (up to 21Mbps), and Android "Gingerbread". Next up is the Samsung Captivate Glide (above) which sports a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, a dual-core Tegra 2 CPU, an 8MP camera, a front-facing 1.3MP camera, HSPA+ (up to 21Mbps), a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and Android 2.3 with the Touchwiz UI.

The unique Samsung DoubleTime and Pantech Pocket were introduced afterwards. The DoubleTime features a clamshell design with a QWERTY keyboard, external and internal touchscreen displays, a Qualcomm 600MHz CPU, and Android 2.2. This one should be a cheap one because that's what it looks like. The Pocket, on the other hand, is a basic touchscreen phone but it packs a unique 4-inch SVGA (800 x 600 resolution) display. Other specs for this one include: a 1GHz CPU, a 5MP camera, and Android 2.3. This one will be available on November 6th for an unknown price.

Lastly, there's the ZTE phone which will be the AT&T Avail. This one features a 3.5-inch display, a 5MP camera, 512MB of RAM, and Android 2.3 "Gingerbread". This will be available on the carrier's prepaid line-up for an unknown price. That's a lot to take in this early into the event so this might be a big one!

The Motorola Admiral (XT603) has been spotted in the wild again and this time it should be fairly close to launching. This one reportedly packs a single-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm CPU, a 3.1-inch touchscreen VGA display, a QWERTY keyboard, a 5MP camera, a possible front-facing camera, military-grade ruggedness, and Android "Gingerbread" with a hint of Blur. If you think the Bold 9900's screen is too small and you think you can live without BBM then this actually looks like the Android replacement for you.

[Engadget]

The HTC Status wasn't exciting but Motorola has decided it might have been a good idea. The Motorola EX225 has just hit the FCC and this is supposed to be packing a Facebook button with some integration. The OS is unknown right now but it could run Brew MP which would be upsetting since it should run Android. Specs for this one are a 2.4-inch display, a camera, and a QWERTY keyboard. Check it out at the FCC.

This Is My Next has claimed to get a world's first scoop on what could be the next big smartphone on the market. What you see above is reportedly the Motorola Spyder which may be the Droid RAZR. This handset is said to be the first phone packing a qHD Super AMOLED (Gorilla Glass) display which is impressive, but not compared to the 720p displays we're expecting to hit smartphones in the near future. It's also said to feature a dual-core 1.2GHz CPU, an 8MP camera with 1080p video recording, an "HD" front-facing camera, 1GB of RAM, 4G (LTE) connectivity, Bluetooth / WiFi support, and some version of Android.

This one is intended for Verizon and will also use the Lapdock 100 which sports a 10.1-inch display (will also support the Atrix 2). It's too early to tell how much this will cost right now but it should be hitting the shelves before the end of the year.

Apparently there could actually be two new tablets from Motorola that could be on their way to the market soon. They're both being touted as the XOOM 2 right now and one claims to be a Media Edition. The first one is above, coming from Droid-Life. This one's said to pack a dual-core 1.2GHz CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 9mm thin body, an "HD" rear-facing camera, a front-facing camera, and an 11-hour battery life. It's also set to be the world's first tablet to ship with support for Adobe's Flash Player 11 and will be capable of streaming Netflix in HD. Impressive stuff.

Moving along, it looks like Engadget has claimed the first pictures of the Media Edition Motorola tablet which is said to be sporting an 8.2-inch HD IPS display. Furthermore, it should also weigh just 0.95 pounds which makes it quite portable. This one could find a home at Verizon in the US so maybe it'll also sport LTE (4G). The body's said to be made of magnesium / aluminum which go great with its Gorilla Glass display - and it's splash-resistant. The release date for this one is unknown right now but it should be fairly soon.

It may look a whole lot like the original model but what you see above is actually the press photos of the Motorola Atrix 2 which is, obviously, headed to AT&T. This one's said to be packing a 4.3-inch qHD display, an 8MP AF camera with an LED flash, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage, a microSD card slot, 4G (possibly just HSPA+), and Android 2.3 "Gingerbread".

Like the original model, you'll also be able to throw it on the Lapdock, more specifically the Lapdock 100. This one's packing a 10.1-inch display (the original had an 11.6-inch display) and will actually connect to the phone with a cable which should be universal for their devices starting with this model (Droid RAZR will use one too). Interesting stuff coming from Motorola!
