Motorola Droid RAZR

Motorola rolled out a new software update for the DROID RAZR on Monday. The update fixes a few bugs and includes an important improvement for 3G/4G data connectivity. The RAZR and Verizon Galaxy Nexus have recently been suffering from unexplained signal problems. This update should fix the issue for RAZR owners. Verizon is also currently working on a fix for the Galaxy Nexus.

RAZR users should start seeing OTA updates starting today. If you do not want to wait, you can update your phone manually by going to menu > settings > about phone > check for updates. Check out the complete list of changes and fixes below.

All phones from Verizon, Sprint and AT&T (except the iPhone) are on sale from Amazon for a penny starting November 21 to November 28. That's right, smartphones like the Motorola Droid RAZR, BlackBerry Torch 4G and the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic Touch 4G are basically free to all customers who agree to a new two-year service contract.

Amazon is also offering a $100 gift card to customers who purchase an additional mobile hotspot service along with their new phone. This has to be one of the best pre-Black Friday deals out there.

It's time to revisit which devices will be getting Android 4.0 now that the OEMs have had a chance to mull it over. Motorola was the first to confirm that the Droid RAZR, Droid Bionic and all three Xoom tablets will be getting Ice Cream Sandwich in 2012.

Asus also released a statement about the Eee Pad Family getting an upgrade. So far the Transformer Prime, Eee Pad Transformer and Padfone have been confirmed. Motorola and Asus have not officially denied any devices at the time of this post.

Verizon officially confirmed what we already knew. They will be carrying the Samsung Galaxy Nexus... But when? A leaked screenshot of a Verizon MAP shows the release date of November 10. As you can see from the image below, it also shows the Droid RAZR listed with its pre-order date of Oct 27.

If the MAP is correct, then it looks like you can expect Galaxy Nexus pre-orders to begin in early November or on November 10. You can also see the rumored $300 price tag for the 16GB model looks to be accurate. Still no word on how much the 32GB model will cost yet.

Motorola announced their new faster, thinner, smarter, stronger Verizon smartphone today. The Motorola Razr is thinner as promised, or as Motorola put it, "impossibly" thin at 7.1 millimeters. The kevlar fibers, Gorilla Glass and water repellent nanocoating keeps the phone safe from scratches and dangerous party fouls. Under the hood the Razr boasts a 1.2 GHz processor with 1GB of RAM, and it's powered by Android 2.3.5.

The Razr features an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera with 1080p HD video capture and stabilization capabilities, front-facing HD camera for video chatting, Bluetooth 4.0, and 32GB of memory. The RAZR is also 4G LTE capable.
