Ready for the era of $300 superphones? We know, we aren’t either, but the addition of LTE seems to be justification enough for Verizon Wireless and Samsung to toss a $299.99 subsidized price on the latter’s newest handset. After being leaked a few times over, the borderline-ominous phone is finally getting official. April 28th is the day, with consumers then able to grab a 4.3-inch AMOLED Plus display, rear-facing 8 megapixel camera, a 1.3 megapixel front-facing shooter, 1GHz processor, Android 2.2 and LTE support. Unlimited 4G data plans are still being hawked for $29.99, and while the entry price definitely stings, having mobile hotspot for “no additional charge” is certainly a perk. Might want to be first in line, though — that last snippet will only be offered for “a limited time.”

Even the Android Froyo 2.2 is out and tested on Google Nexus One already but it doesn’t mean that all the high-end Android smartphone will be starting to get it now. That’s why Motorola Milestone / Droid has just been introduced in South Korea still running on Android 2.1. The well known Motorola Milestone / Droid comes with a new name, dubbed as Moto QRTY. The Moto QRTY is the same as the Milestone / Droid, the only different is it does have a keyboard with Korean characters.

But don’t worry since the US will get the Froyo Upgrade later this month, so I believe the European Milestone and this brand new QRTY might also get the latest version of Android pretty soon. More details here and press release after the jump. [UV] Continue Reading

Good news for Every DROID users! folks, the Android 2.2 Froyo is now available to be upgraded. But please remember that this is unofficial yet, so if you brave enough to take any risk and you don’t want to wait any longer to feel the Froyo experience then you can update it HERE, and take a note that for now this version upgrade doesn’t support Wi-Fi yet. My suggestion is please be patient and wait a while until the official Froyo update from the Motorola company itself. [Gadgetell]

This is what you’ve been waiting for, an Android 2.1 update for the Motorola DROID owners. However, all handsets will not be updated in the beginning as it’s a phased rollout. According to Android Central they explain that:

“The first batch of 1,000 updates will be pushed out at 9 a.m. PDT.
Assuming all goes well, another 9,000 updates will go out at 8:59 p.m. PDT.
After that, there’s a 24-hour waiting period (to make sure all’s still well.)
Then 200,000 updates will go out on Saturday, March 20.
Another batch of 200,000 goes out after that, until everyone has the update.”

Wow I believe android owner will be very excited with this!

I know Droid users will hate this post, but i am sorry guys i am just informing you.  According to Motorola Support forums, The Android 2.1 update for Motorola Droid is delayed and it’s not coming this week. The forum Manager said that The details posted here and on the Support site were prematurely released for public view and they have been removed from both places. So what it means? No update this week. I know it’s really a bad news. May be Motorola will launch the Android 2.1 update for Droid during MWC. [BGR]

A good news for Motorola Droid users. And the good news is that the Android 2.1 is coming on Moto Droid soon. According to Engadget, Android 2.1 update is making its way through Verizon’s testing department . And the new update will come with following features:

• Android2.1-update1 build that Google put out last week on the Nexus One.
• Multitouch in the browser, to go along with the pinch-to-zoom that was enabled on the Droid for Google Maps just last week.
• Google Googles is baked into the ROM by default .
• The Droid’s home screen remains as is — no new rotating app thingy instead of the drawer, and no live wallpapers.
• The news and weather widget from the Nexus One will be included.

Wow. Lot of new stuff. I think Droid users are now happy. What you guys say?[PA]

I am really amazed after seeing it, that only 80,000 units of Nexus One are sold in one month. Near me , Nexus One is one of the best phone. But whats the reason of this low score. Have a look on the iPhone. 350,000 in first week and 600,000 in a month. That’s a huge score by Apple iPhone. iPhone is the one of the best and popular phone of the decade. In US, In 10 people, 8 peoples are using iPhone. Because iPhone is easy and simple.This is the score of the first generation iPhone . And now the  Motorola Droid. Droid is a stunning phone. Droid is known as the one of the best phone ever made by the Motorola. 250,000 units in first week and 525,000 units in a month. So close to the iPhone. Now lets discuss it, When the iPhone was launched. It was the first modern touchscreen phone i think. So everyone was waiting for this phone, and everyone want to give it a try because people loves to try new things. And other reason is that it was launch by AT&T and you know that AT&T is one of the largest US carrier. And Motorola Droid is the one of the best phone launched by the Motorola via Verizon. The reason is because It was the fastest phone ever coming with an Arm Cortex A8 processor 550 mHz and it was also the fastest Google Android phone but now the Nexus one is here. The phone comes with lot of features like a QWERTY keyboard of Droid is actually pretty usable and has a soft-touch rubberized. So one thing is clear that Droid is one of the best phone available in Market. Now lets talk about the World fastest Android phone, The Google Nexus One. Google Nexus One is really an awesome phone. My friends are using this phone and they said that this phone is better then iPhone. Then why the score is low? I dont think so the reason is that the mobile is only on T-Mobile. One reason i know is that the Nexus One is drawing numerous complaints from users. And the biggest complaint  is access to the 3G high-speed data network offered by T-Mobile. And Google has provided no telephone number where customers can connect with a human, and e-mail responses are a day or two in coming. Now that’s bad. Lets see whats happen in Future. Stay tuned with us . What you guys think about it?[PA]

• Search suggestions from you maps.google.com search history.

Motorola’s recently launched MOTOROI in Korea via SK telecom. Today Motorola announced that MOTOROI is coming to US in March via Verizon Wireless. The MOTOROI lacks a physical keyboard like Droid. But people think that this phone is better then Droid. The mobile comes with a full touchscreen display, an 8-megapixel camera and 720p video playback via HDMI out. Apart from that, you get 8GB of internal memory and a microSDHC memory card slot to augment its storage space. Other features include a 3.7″ LCD display, 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity, and GPS support.
