Verizon Wireless advertised that it would be available for purchase for $599.99 with a new two-year contract or $799.99 without. That has since been lowered to $299 and $499 respectively.

The Motorola XOOM is built around a 1GHz dual-core processor and 10.1-inch widescreen HD display. The sleek, stylish design features a front-facing 2mp camera for video chats, as well as a rear-facing 5mp camera that captures video in 720p HD.

The DROID BIONIC sports a dual core processor with each core running at 1GHz, delivering up to two GHz of processing power, and 512 MB RAM,and it runs on Verizon’s new 4G LTE network. The 4G LTE network promises average download data rates of 5 to 12Mbps and upload rates of 2 to 5 Mbps.

“DROID BIONIC brings to life the speed and power of Verizon’s 4G LTE network, giving consumers an unrivaled mobile experience,” said Marni Walden, VP and chief marketing officer for Verizon Wireless. “Whether downloading movies in minutes, connecting with friends or co-workers through video conferencing, or blazing through the Internet, Motorola’s DROID BIONIC is what the 4G LTE experience is all about.”

It also allows Adobe FlashPlayer and HTML5, rendering graphics faster than previous generation single-core devices.

“DROID BIONIC is the epitome of speed, providing consumers with instantaneous access to their personal and work content, anytime and anyplace,” said Alain Mutricy, senior vice president of portfolio and device product management, Motorola Mobility. “By combining such a powerful mobile device with the performance and capabilities of Verizon’s 4G LTE network, we’re empowering consumers to define how they want to live their mobile lifestyles.”

The DROID BIONIC features a 4.3-inch qHD quality screen that delivers console-quality graphics, and its Mirror Mode function enables simultaneous streaming of video to the TV and on the handset.

The Motorola Droid 2 Global sports a 3.7 inch display, 5 megapixel camera with flash, swype, 480-by-854 WVGA resolution screen, Android 2.2, 8GB onboard storage, supporting up to 32GB micro SD, and option of white or dark sapphire color option.

The announcement came in the form of a rather stealthy Facebook announcement:

Now make calls, text, email and browse the web in more than 220 countries with Droid 2 Global. Get it now for $199.99. $299.99 2yr price less $100 mail-in rebate debit card. New 2yr activation and data pak required.

The Droid 2 Global is now $199 after a $100 mail-in rebate on a 2 year contract.

The Droid 2 Global is equipped with quad-band GSM global roaming, meaning it’ll run on both CDMA networks and GSM networks, unlike the basic CDMA support of the regular Droid in the U.S.

The Droid 2 Global is now available for $199 after a $100 mail-in rebate on a 2 year contract.

The DROID PRO will retail at $179.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate with a new two-year customer agreement.

Part business, part casual and all smartphone – DROID PRO by Motorola makes the most of your time. Staying productive at work is a priority, but managing your personal life is just as important. It features a a PC-like browsing experience with Adobe Flash Player 10.1, a 1 GHz super-fast processor and corporate access.

Specs:

• 3.1” 320×480 HVGA
• 5 MP, Auto Focus, Digital zoom, Dual-LED flash
• 2GB internal memory, 2GB pre loaded – expandable to 32GB with SD
• 512MB RAM x 2GB ROM, 1.5GB user available memory
• Quickoffice Mobile Suite
• 3G Mobile HotSpot capabilities
• QWERTY keyboard designed for speed and convenience.

“The DROID PRO is an advanced business-ready solution that provides users with the full smartphone experience, redefined by delivering the power of a DROID,” said Sanjay Jha, chief executive officer of Motorola Mobility. “The DROID PRO consolidates users’ work and personal needs. This is just another reason the DROID PRO is setting a new standard for enterprise, allowing users to enjoy all the benefits of a smartphone with full push delivery of corporate e-mail and corporate level security.”

“When we announced DROID X last month, we reaffirmed our commitment to continue to bring unique Android experiences to the Verizon Wireless network,” said Jeffrey Dietel, vice president – wireless device, marketing and development for Verizon Wireless. “The DROID by Motorola was our first Android device, so it is important for us to include the successor to that phone in our portfolio. DROID 2 is not only a continuation of our commitment to Android but offers customers the features and form-factor they crave on the Verizon Wireless network.”

The DROID 2 sports an enhanced QWERTY keyboard, ultra high-speed Web browsing, 3G Mobile HotSpot capabilities, full push corporate e-mail, intuitive social messaging and Adobe Flash Player 10.1 for access to the full web – all built on Android 2.2.

Users will be able to watch content on the full multi-touch 3.7-inch brilliant display, or share content captured on the 5mp camera with enhanced functionality and DVD-quality video capture with DLNA connectivity to share on compatible devices.

The DROID 2 will be available online beginning August 11, and in Verizon Wireless Communications Stores beginning August 12 for $199.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate with a new two-year customer agreement.

The portable device will sport a 10-inch screen and will allow users to watch TV on the go. It is the ability to stream TV content that is what Motorola hopes will set the device apart from others as it seeks to stay relevant in an increasingly crowded marketplace.

“We’re very focused on participating in this convergence between mobility and home, and I actually think you will see some products from us in a very short period of time,” said Sanjay Jha, chief executive of Motorola’s mobile devices business.

Apple has so far failed to convince TV programmers to either lower the price of TV show sales or sell a package shows for fear of undercutting traditional subscription TV delivery models.

With Verizon on board Motorola may be able to experiment with TV delivery options that complement Verizon’s current business model and which won’t worry TV programmers in the process.

From Droid World:

If the eFuse fails to verify this information then the eFuse receives a command to “blow the fuse” or “trip the fuse”. This results in the booting process becoming corrupted and resulting in a permanent bricking of the Phone. This FailSafe is activated anytime the bootloader is tampered with or any of the above three parts of the phone has been tampered with.

The eFuse is a rewrittable module and thus once it has been tripped it can be repaired but this procedure can only be done by Motorola. It requires hardware (I’m not sure what type) and the program (I’m not sure what Motorola is using) written in JTAG.

However, some have countered that that the new may not be as dire as many are claiming.

“OMAP handsets already have e-fuse in place as part of the M-Shield hardware security technology built into TI’s OMAP system on a chip,” says Boy Genius. “It is on the very hackable DROID and the not-so-hacking-friendly Milestone, but it is not being used by Motorola to lock the bootloader of the handset. The current theory being put forth by the non-alarmists in the Android hacking community suggests that the DROID X is locked in a similar manner to the Milestone.”

So though the jury’s still out on jailbreaking, it probably won’t be enough of a reason not to purchase a Droid X.

The Droid X is the newest innovation on Android to run on Verizon Wireless’ 3G network, sporting an HD camcorder, 8mp camera, and 3G Mobile HotSpot capabilities. The Droid X also comes with loads of memory – 8 gigabyte (GB) onboard and a 16GB memory card. For customers seeking the ultimate in storage, the new 32GB SanDisk microSDHC card even allows customers to expand Droid X’s memory to 40GB!

Users can also take advantage of the Droid X’s 4.3-inch high-resolution screen for viewing the latest movies from BLOCKBUSTER On Demand presented by V CAST Video.

In case you missed the video review from the other day you can watch it here.

The Droid X sports high-speed Web browsing; a fast 1GHz processor; 3G Mobile HotSpot capabilities; large 4.3-inch touchscreen; 8GB of memory; 8-megapixel camera; HD camcorder; and DLNA and HDMI connectivity to download, stream and share personal HD content.

It will retail at $200 with a mail-in rebate and a two-year contract.

The Droid X can also rent and buy movies from Blockbuster that play at 800-by-480 resolution on the phone’s screen. A newly-updated NFL mobile app on Verizon Wireless will stream live games to the phone, and V CAST Video will provide other TV clips to choose from as well.

“And most importantly, it comes with a double antenna design,” reads the ad. “The kind that allows you to hold the phone any way you like and use it just about anywhere to make calls.”

The antenna issues stem from reports that users have experienced poor signal and dropped calls when holding the iPhone 4 in their left hand, which makes their palm cover a seam that separates the device’s two perimeter radio antennas.

Some have even complained that just touching the seam results in loss of signal.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs didn’t help the matter any by admonishing those with complaints to simply “just avoid holding it that way.”

The next generation of Droid, which some have called “the fastest phone I’ve seen so far” and “easy to use,” arrives on July 15.
