Droid X2 press shots

Posted in Motorola by Conner Flynn on April 24th, 2011

The Motorola Droid X successor, known until now as the Droid X2 or Droid X 2 has been spotted several times in the wild and it looks very similar it’s predecessors. So appearance is no surprise, however these press shots tells us one important thing: the name of the phone. The branding has now been shown as Droid X^2. X Squared, not X-two. That’s new.

The expected specs include a 1.2GHz dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor, 4.3-inch screen with qHD, 768MB ram. The rest of the specs will likely remain the same, but will it come preloaded with Froyo or the newer Gingerbread build of Android? We will see.

Motorola XOOM and ATRIX 4G sales are ‘disappointing’

Posted in Motorola by Conner Flynn on April 5th, 2011

We didn’t need an analyst to clue us in on poor sales of Motorola’s key products, but that is exactly what we have today. Pacific Crest analyst James Faucette revised his full-year 2011 revenue estimates down from $13.7 billion to $12.25 billion. He also revised his 2012 revenue estimates down from $15.34 billion to $13.62 billion. Ouch!

He says that overall sell-through trends for the Xoom and Atrix have been disappointing and he believes the Atrix’s lower-than-forecast sales are a result of the $49 iPhone 3GS and the HTC Inspire, which makes perfect sense. What is Motorola going to do now? Hopefully they price their products better to start.
