Whilst in South Korea, Schmidt said that Motorola would receive no special treatment over other vendors and that Google “will run it sufficiently and independently” ensuring [...]
Telstra announce the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, Motorola DEFY+ and Telstra QWERTY-Touch in time for Christmas
Telstra have just announced via their news exchange that they are going to be selling the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, Motorola DEFY+, Telstra QWERTY-Touch and the LG Optimus Spirit we wrote about yesterday. I’m surprised to see the Arc S pop up considering the little amount of differentiation over the original Arc. I’m not [...]

Motorola announce the XOOM 2 and XOOM 2 Media Edition
Motorola have made their brand new tablets — the Motorola XOOM 2 and XOOM 2 Media Edition — official. The devices had been leaking around the internet for quite a while so it’s not as though these two devices have popped up out of no where. The new XOOMs look very much like scaled up [...]
Telechoice to sell the Motorola RAZR outright for $649
Update: Telechoice are not selling the Verizon branded RAZR like we first thought, instead they just listed the wrong specs of the device along with the incorrect image of the Verizon branded device. It will instead just be the Optus variant. The price is still awesome though. If you’re looking to buy the Motorola RAZR [...]
Motorola RAZR — Review
Motorola are hoping to make a big comeback with the RAZR; it’s thin, it’s fast and it’s ready for action on Optus. I had high hopes for the RAZR going into this review, I’d read a few good things about it, and the specs and design really stand out in this mobile war over hardware. [...]
Motorola to cut 800 jobs, likely in an effort to improve earnings
Motorola Mobility are planning to cut a whopping 800 jobs according to a regulatory filing they issued. Bloomberg is suggesting that the job cuts are in an effort to improve Motorola’s earning in the future, seeing as they lost over $30 million in the last quarter alone. The reduction of losses will also ready the [...]

Motorola shipped only 100,000 XOOMs in the 3rd quarter
It seems that the XOOM hasn’t been the greatest device for Motorola; they only shipped 100,000 XOOMs in the 3rd quarter of this year. That 100,000 doesn’t even include how many were sold, just how many were sent out from their manufacturing plant(s), so it’s not looking good for the XOOM. Motorola are expected to [...]

Ausdroid attended the Motorola and Optus launch event for the ‘Impossibly Thin’ Motorola Razr in Sydney tonight and scored some hands-on time with the phone, as well as our very own Razr which Buzz will be reviewing shortly.
