At the same time as unveiling their latest budget offering – the Lumia 610 – Nokia also revealed that they’ve been secretly working on ‘superhydrophobic’ technology (that’s a mouthful, isn’t it?). Conor Pierce, VP of Nokia Western Europe, began explaining the technology in slightly cryptic terms, saying, ’What happens when a drop of water lands on [...]
Following Google’s $12.5 billion annexation of Motorola into its ever-growing empire, the search engine giant has gained control of a massive pile of essential patents. As recent events - such as the ongoing Apple-Samsung lawsuit and Apple managing to postpone the import of HTC‘s into the US – have shown, patents are an essential weapon in [...]
Motorola have been pretty much devoid of headline-worthy news in the last few weeks. The American phone manufacturer makes up just a tiny portion of the UK smartphone market, despite releasing some perfectly decent handsets such as the big-batteried Razr MAXX.

After yesterday’s slightly absurd story of a small Pennsylvania company suing Apple for all their touch-related products, Motorola today won a partial victory in a patent infringement claim against the [...]

The upcoming RAZR Maxx has done well to address its predecessor’s battery problem, but its semi-HD display [...]
Motorola has announced that it’s latest 90′s throwback handset, the Motorola Gleam Plus, is now available to buy in the UK. Motorola’s second-gen Gleam is just as basic as its predecessor, although it boasts a skinnier 13.5mm-thick chassis and an upgraded LED matrix on the front (pictured). On the spec-front the clamshell handset also features; [...]
After being released in the United States back in January, Motorola have finally announced that their updated RAZR smartphone – RAZR Maxx – will be reaching ‘selected European markets’ in May. Those who are holding their breath for a wealth of new features though may be disappointed, as the main new feature is an extended [...]
