Motorola DROID RAZR Revealed Completely For The First Time

We may have seen Motorola DROID RAZR make appearance here & there,but have you seen but not with a complete shot or a 3D shot which would really give a good idea as to what we can expect from this 4G Prodigy.It wasn't clear how sleek this SmartPhone is going to be,but thanks to the Reveal site we now have a fully enlarged image of Motorola DROID RAZR as shown below:

It appears that the final piece of the puzzle has been solved and those worthy to see it has got their moments.With the Motorola Verizon Event,to be held in New York where it goes live @ 12:00P.M,thanks to the Reveal site we had the wonderful opportunity to see this visual treat of this slim device which is probably the slimmest & least bulky 4G radio device ever.The image is just outstanding & truth to be told I really cant wait for the event.
                           The Motorola DROID RAZR is expected to sport a 4.3 Inches qHD screen along with 1.2GHz dual core processor under its hood.This SmartPhone also features a 4G radio where the number 42 appears in the teaser video indicating that it just might be the pragmatic speed for the DROID mobile.Featuring four capacitive buttons,we can expect the GingerBread to be pre-packaged although we can always hope or rather expect an Ice Cream Sandwich to be made available for the SmartPhone now that Motorola is an integral part of the Google family.The SmartPhone definitely shows off a kevlar architecture as it was seen when it was leaked a few days back.Tune in at 12:00 PM EST to see the coverage of the Motorola Verizon Event.You can watch the video below:

iPhone 4S The Best Ever Sales For Sprint :Verizon And AT &T Also Claims the Same

When Sprint signed the $20 Billion deal with Apple,most of them were under the impression that Sprint has just signed its own Death Warrant.The worst fears were confirmed when it was revealed that iPhone 4S will not be a Sprint Exclusive.But once the pre-sales were announced,iPhone 4S went on to become one of the fastest SmartPhone sales ever crossing the 1 Million mark on the very first date.Now with the users finally receiving their coveted hardware,Sprint has announced that it broken its sales record with the Apple merchandise & is considered as the best sale day ever for the Carrier.
“Sprint today reported its best ever day of sales in retail, web and telesales for a device family in Sprint history with the launch of iPhone 4S and iPhone 4,” Sprint product chief Fared Adib said in a statement. “The response to this device by current and new customers has surpassed our expectations and validates our customers’ desire for a truly unlimited data pricing plan.”
 Sprint is probably the only carrier to feature the unlimited data plans for the iPhone 4S,which also played a fundamental role in achieving a new apogee in sales.

Update:Verizon & AT &T make public announcements regarding the sale s & claim Records Sales individually too.
According to Verizon representative:
“Stores nationwide are reporting steady traffic as early-morning shoppers make purchases before heading to work,” said Verizon spokeswoman Brenda Raney. “We are seeing a nice mix of people who are first-time smartphone purchasers as well as those who are switching from competitors.”
According to AT &T:                            
“As of 4:30 pm ET today, AT&T had already activated a record number of iPhones on our network -– and is on-track to double our previous record for activations on a single day.”
With 3 of its major Carriers claiming record sales,lets wait for the real statistics & declare the winner subsequently.

Verizon wants to monitor its Customers Web Activities:Whats your take?

 The concept of privacy policy is far from over.And now if you are a Verizon customer & don't want others to snoop around your privacy issues,then you better read this post carefully.Verizon has apparently updated their terms & conditions this week and it appears that they will now track your web habits for a certain business or marketing reports and more importantly implementing the mobile ads.In layman's terms Verizon will track which Sites you visit,Your URL along with your GPS data.Sounds Omniscient doesn't it?
                                                        Verizon however has offered an option for you to opt out their privacy policy & make a few changes.The 2 pages long document has 2 different places where you might want to check "Don't use my Information" for any/all Verizon cell numbers owned by you.Although its not known whether ever after opting out,they will continue to monitor or not.Sounds really bad doesn't it?

Motorola Xoom 4G Before & After OTA update

                                        After a wait of 7 months,the XOOM users finally received information regarding the upgrades needed to enable 4G LTE in XOOM.But unfortunately not all of them have received their transformed 4G device yet from Motorola & the wait is literally killing them.For the lucky ones who got it back,you must have noticed some new features in your 4G device now.If you didn't receive the over the air(OTA) update as of now,you can expect to receive it once your power up the device.Verizon has officially announced this update & also enclosed the details regarding the changes & bug fixes.Also the Android Market has been made available in the HoneyComb Os & you can actually verify whether it has been implemented or not.
