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. Given Buzz’s well known opinions about Motorola’s last big release, the Atrix, it will be interesting to [...]

Despite the confusion of Motorola’s unlockable bootloader on the RAZR over in the US, Motorola Australia have come straight out on the Facebook Page and said that the Motorola RAZR that will be launching in Australia on Optus, around November, will indeed have an unlockable bootloader. *cheers*. So props to Optus for allowing Motorola to [...]

Update: It turns out the devices won’t be *receiving* Ice Cream Sandwich after 6 weeks. Motorola will instead test which devices can run ICS then inform customers which devices will receive the update. And for a second there we thought Motorola were going to be uber Awesome. Good news for current and future Motorola XOOM [...]

I don’t know if Motorola and Optus were planning to keep the launch of the Motorola RAZR here a surprise, but they aren’t doing a very good job. Then again, the device has already been announced over in the US of A, so once again, the secret’s out. This time the Motorola RAZR has popped [...]

A few months ago I started a campaign to prompt Motorola to unlock their Android devices, now when I say unlock I don’t mean carrier unlocking where you can use a phone with any SIM card, I mean unlocking the bootloader which is the staging area of custom roms on Android handsets. It is having [...]

The Motorola Razr was launched mere hours before the Samsung/Google event where we saw the launch of Ice Cream Sandwich and the reference platform for Ice Cream Sandwich the Galaxy Nexus. This was quite a handicap as the Razr will launch with Android 2.3 Gingerbread but Alain Mutricy the Senior Vice President, Portfolio and Product [...]
