I bought my Motorola Droid in December of 2009. 2009 was a very busy year for me with smartphones; I started with an original iPhone, then became frustrated with the notification system and jumped ship to Windows Mobile. That lasted only a few months before I jumped ship AGAIN, to a Nokia E71x. I didn’t [...]

Phone Fail? Motorola Droid Allegedly Explodes While Owner Is In-Call
You can’t even make these things up … or maybe you can. It’s hard to imagine that your two-day old Motorola Droid — or any other mobile phone, for that matter — would explode next to your ear while in a call. But that’s exactly what Aron Embry says happened to him yesterday. A North [...]
Coming Soon: Motorola Defy, the World’s First “LifeProof” Smartphone
Image courtesy of Motorola Anyone who owns a Smartphone has to deal with the high maintenance that goes along with keeping it bright and shiny. I can’t even own a phone anymore that doesn’t have a screen protector and a case on it before it even leaves the store. I have to admit that a [...]
Motorola ES400 Enterprise Digital Assistant First Look
The regular onslaught of weekly smartphone announcements highlighting the latest offerings running Android or the upcoming Windows Phone 7 OS, it’s very easy for Motorola’s ES400 to get lost in the mix. The device doesn’t immediately scream ‘sexy’ and it’s running Windows Mobile 6.5. Yes, I said 6.5! So why on earth should you even [...]
Droid X Users Can Now Have Root, but No ROMS yet.
One piece of the puzzle for a complete Droid X hack has fallen in place after only one week. Owners of the Droid X may now have root privileges on their phone. Root privileges mean that you can modify any portion of the system area of your device., meaning in part that you can remove [...]

Review: Otterbox Commuter Case For the Motorola Droid
I take my phone everywhere. During work and everyday life I don’t worry much about it; I work in an office and live in suburban New Jersey. It’s not really a rough life for a smartphone. I do, however, take it when I go hiking, biking and running as a GPS tracker, plus it rides [...]

Otterbox Brings the Commuter Case to The Motorola Droid
Looks like those of us with Motorola Droids can enjoy some OtterBox love these days. While they can’t offer the waterproof/dustproof/lifeproof protection some of their tougher cases are known for, OtterBox seems to have cracked the ultimate dilemma; protecting phones that need to work as two pieces! Here’s what Otterbox says about their new Commuter [...]
IDAPT i3 Universal Desktop Charger- I Need Three
I was looking at my nightstand last night and had a sudden realization…R I have too many devices laying around and I need something to organize them and charge them at th same time. Yes, there are lots of “stations” that will charge multiple devices but none have really caught my eye… Until now. The [...]
Flip AT&T’s Control Over the Backflip
If you bought a Moto Backflip, you probably noticed the odd use of Yahoo Search over Google, and the incredible amount of AT&T bloatware included on the device. Unfortunately, short of rooting it there’s not much you can do about either of those, but AT&T did something far worse to the Backflip that you WILL [...]
Android, AT&T and…Yahoo?
(underlying image courtesy Haunted Ventures) Ever since the Droid landed at Verizon, everyone has wondered when AT&T would embrace the cuddly green robot phones. When it was announced that the Motorola Backflip, a rather unusual cousin to the Cliq, would be the first Android phone to hit the Deathstar AT&T, it sounded intriguing. It certainly [...]
Review: PDAir’s Aluminum Case Increases the Droid’s Geek Factor
After several years of mobile device designs trending toward smooth, curving lines and symmetrical shapes, the Motorola Droid stands out. Sure, you’ll see lots of non-geeks carrying it, but from the angular design of the device itself to the style of the commercials Verizon developed to sell it, it’s clear that the Droid is intended [...]
Motorola’s Super Bowl Hail Mary
Motorola has been tearing it up on their comeback this year, and they’re looking to make sure more than just the tech world knows about it. They’ve bought a chunk of ad time during the Super Bowl to promote Moto Blur, but no one knows quite what they’re planning. Well, from the teaser we know [...]
