Droid 4 available : news - Motorola Droid 4

It can be tough to keep track of which Droid is launching when these days,Motorola’s hit several strong points with the latest Motorola Droid 4 a sleek slide-out QWERTY keyboard along with a 4-inch qHD display, a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, a 8-megapixel camera (paired with a lower-res front-facing cam), 16GB of storage and Android 2.3.5 for an OS. The biggest downside for the Droid 4 at this time is its lack of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.,An Ice Cream Sandwich update is promised, but there's unfortunately no date for its release just yet.

Will the bionic have GSM capabilities?

i've done some googling around and a website said that motorola has registered the "bionic" name in europe...which could mean a GSM Motorola Bionic phone
would there be one?
reason is the new bionic is looking quite tasty if any of you guys have seen the article up on android police's site
-4.5" QHD screen
-1750mah battery
-android 2.3.4
-new motoblur that looks pretty cool IMHO
-dual core
-no mention of RAM capacity
-8MP shooter with LED flash and a front facing camera (no mention of MP)

Android Wallpapers site!

This initially started out as a site for wallpapers on the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer, but I've expanded it to include other devices/screen resolutions.
Right now it currently has wallpapers for:
HD Android Tablets: 1280x800 (Most tablets that are 10 inches)
HVGA Phones: 480x320 (HTC Hero, G1, most low end models)
WVGA Phones: 800x480 (HTC EVO 4G, Desire, Nexus One, most higher end models)
FWVGA Phones: 854x480 (Motorola Droid, Droid 2, Droid X, most 16:9 higher end models)
I hope to have more sizes including qHD soon. There are also ringtones, all of which have been made to me and are around 24.5 seconds long and also are tweaked to perform exceptionally well on phone speakers.
All of these wallpapers have been formatted to fit Android's entire crop window and shouldn't require any extra cropping on your part. Also, some (not all) may look strange due to resizing needed to fit your screen, but there are plenty to choose from with more being added on a daily basis.
I hope to get a real mobile theme for it going as well as user contributed content (basically anyone can add their own walls and the site will automatically resize according to what category you are posting in.)
I hope you all enjoy!

awesome site. hope you keep it updated.
cheers.
Nice site.

LG ADDS ADVANCED FEATURES TO OPTIMUS 3D WITH ENHANCED GINGERBREAD UPGRADE
Latest Upgrade Empowers Users with Powerful 3D and Multimedia Options
SEOUL, Nov. 15, 2011 – The enhanced Android 2.3 Gingerbread upgrade developed for LG Optimus 3D will include new and improved features such as enhanced network speed, better 3D experience and improved multimedia functions.
LG’s customized Gingerbread upgrade for Optimus 3D will not only include improvements from Google such as enhanced power management, advanced copy/paste and user interface (UI) improvements, but also enhancements from LG, such as:
Enhanced HSPA+ Speed via Faster Packet Data Services - Internet browsing and real-time streaming have become smoother and more seamless with up to 21Mbps HSDPA;
Enriched 3D Experience with 3D Video Editor and Full-screen UI Preview - With 3D Video Editor, users will be able to easily create and edit 2D as well as 3D movies on their Optimus 3D. The preview screen has become wider with a transparent UI, enabling users to capture better quality 3D content;
Improved Multimedia with 2D Video Stabilization and Faster Gallery Activation - Optimus 3D owners will now be able to record high quality video in 2D mode with the video stabilization feature, previously only available in 3D mode. Gallery loading time has also been reduced.
“These enhanced features included in our customized Android 2.3 upgrade will allow users to further integrate 3D into their everyday lives, as we make the technology more accessible and enjoyable on smartphones,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “We believe that 3D is here to stay and glasses-free 3D on portable devices is to experience the future.”
The upgrade will also include additional features such as improved video recording and longer MP3 playback time. The upgrade will be available starting in Europe from the Open model in the week of November 21, followed by other markets until the end of the year.

Well.....being that the only competition for the thrill is the evo 3d....for right now at least.....I think the thrill does an excellent job at competing with its competition.
LG Thrill 3D
i played around with the bionic the other day and i really don't see any difference is speed with the two phones. open up apps and played a few movies and they feel the same. i guess the only difference in spec is the 512mb dual channel vs the 1gb of ram.

No, not a "good job", just somebody else running here with old news that doesn't bother to search before posting or to even post it in the right place
This is old (unofficial) news that was posted on Facebook and here nearly a week ago - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30921943&postcount=4498

And who cares? I don`t have the time to read all 5000 pages of the official overbloated ics thread to read 1 useful post after 500 trash-posts...sometime it is good to export some info where it can be read directly with a good title, so good job to the OP!
Bleh...deleted...
I don't really see why you guys are giving the poster such a bad time for this, the post made by galaxyfitankit (see post #3 in this thread) makes me want to drown myself. In my own pee. It's almost like he doesn't know what the "Enter" key does.
Eventhough the info here is not very original, it's posted in a more readable way
Also, galaxyfitankit's post was #4498 in the ICS thread, who the hell is going to browse through all these posts just to find it? So yeah...
So no news on the update?

According with the author of the topic, I'm happy that someone has some news more detailed... But..
Ok it's huge update, but why they doesn't deliver a major update with all but quick memo? Maybe they so can release another one with quick memo when it's ready and maybe also they can check more directly how the update is working and doing the correction for some bugs that can come out...
My opinion is a major ics update, and then another minor with quick memo... Just to let us fell better with their past mistakes...

Ideos X6 = Ideos x5 pro - fm radio - front cam
This device in comparison to x5 has slightly overclocked processor, front cam (vga probably) and fm radio and these are the pros in comparison to x5.
Cons in comparison to x5, The screen 262k / washed out colors, Camera althogh 5 mp not at par with x5, internal storage 1.09 Gb (2.5 Gb in X5), back button stops responding every now and then (all x6(afaik) have this issue), no official ics (x5 has unofficially supported official ics).
Both the devices at xda are experiencing very slow development.
So if you are planning to buy go for x5.
