Introducing the Motorola Atrix

The Motorola Atrix is billed as the world's most powerful smartphone, featuring dual-core processing technology, which when combined with the device's qHD display provides a faster email, browsing, multimedia and gaming experience. Combine all of this with the Atrix's optional "webtop" hardware screen and keyboard docking station you can enjoy a truly mobile desktop capability.
Fingerprint recognition capability makes the device secure whilst still immediately accessible, and with 48GB of memory (16GB on board with support for up to 32GB of microSD card memory) you can carry around thousands of photos, songs, films and more.

The below video showcases some of the Atrix's powerful features:

Home Screen

Running Android 2.2, the Atrix features the usual 7 swipeable homescreens arranged left-to-right that will be familiar to Android veterans, with each screen having the ability to display any number of application or settings shortcuts, Internet-enabled widgets, hardware controls, contacts, web page shortcuts and more

A wide range of default Android shortcuts are available as well as a number of Motorola's own

Applications

The list of preinstalled applications on the Atrix is as follows:

• Accounts
• Alarm & Timer
• Browser
• Calculator
• Calendar
• Camcorder
• Camera
• Contacts
• Dialler
• DLNA
• Email

• Zinio Reader

Email

As you'd expect from a business-centric phone, the Atrix features Exchange ActiveSync as standard, enabling you to synchronise email, contacts and calendar with a Microsoft Exchange server over the air (Exchange 2003 Service Pack 2 or later).

Setting up an Exchange email account does require that you enter a number of details, including your own email address, your username and password, and the domain that you belong to (depending on how your Exchange server has been configured)
Useful tip - if you're unsure what your domain information is, you can ask your IT department, but if you also log into a desktop or laptop, the domain will be the contents of the "Log Into" field when you log in, beneath the password field

By default all folders will be enabled for synhronisation, you can edit the properties of the account when finished and manually select what you wish to synchronise, and how often:

All mailbox folders are available:

Out of Office status and message can be set from the device as well as your default email signature:

When composing new email messages, suggestions from the Global Address List and local contacts will be displayed automatically:

The Atrix also boasts a clever feature whereby email messages containing attachments can be forwarded from the device without the need to first download the whole attachment (this feature requires Exchange 2007 or later):

Documents

The Atrix ships with the QuickOffice suite preinstalled, which provides the ability to view Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents as well as PDF files, but also the ability to create and edit Word and Excel files

Also included as standard is a file manager application, allowing you to keep track of where your documents are stored. A nice touch is the Shared Folders feature, which optionally allows you to share documents via WiFi with others

Connectivity

The Atrix can act as a 3G mobile wireless hotspot, providing Internet connectivity to any WiFi-capable client within range, such as your laptop. The wireless connection can be protected by WEP, WPA or WPA2 encryption for security:

From a laptop or desktop PC connected to the same network as the Atrix via its WiFi connection, it is possible to access and edit information held on the Atrix from your PC's web browser using the Phone Portal feature.
Connect to the wireless network from the Atrix and enable the Phone Portal. The phone's URL will be displayed on the screen:

From your PC, enter the same URL into the browser and the following interface will be displayed (provided that the PC is connected to the same network as the Atrix):

Enabling you to view and edit contacts, manage text messages, configure phone settings such as ring tone and, if using Internet Explorer, access the phone's file storage:

Multimedia

Featuring DLNA-certification, the Atrix can be used to share pictures, music and video with any other DLNA-capable device such as a TV, games console, PC or another Smartphone

Miscellaneous

The Atrix also includes a number of useful features including a Task Manager so you can keep track of what applications are running on your device that may be taking up memory or using the battery

The Data Manager utility keeps track of how much data you send and receive over the cellular connection and allows you to define profiles so that social networking applications may only use the WiFi connection to keep costs down

The Battery Saver lets you turn off features outside peak hours, such as overnight, to preserve battery life if you're not within reach of a charger

Summary

The Atrix is indeed a powerhouse of functionality, fast and responsive with plenty of storage. One slight annoyance I found when first powering on the phone is that you cannot use the phone initially without a SIM card inserted, but I imagine most people would have a SIM to put in, and once powered on for the first time you can then remove the SIM and continue to use the device.

The document editing and sharing feature will be a boon for professionals on the go who need to make last-minute adjustments to documents and share them without the need for a laptop and USB stick.

The WiFi hotspot also means should you have your laptop with you, you don't need an additional USB 3G dongle.

I haven't made mention of the Atrix's social networking integration in this post, but as with most Android smartphones you can rest assured that Twitter and Facebook updates can be delivered directly to your homescreen in a single feed.

The multimedia capabilities of the Atrix, especially when combined with the Smart Dock accessory make the device not only your laptop replacement, but your home cinema away from home, your hifi, your photo album and more.

Introducing the Motorola Defy

The Defy is marketed as being "Lifeproof": the small form-factor, extremely lightweight yet fully-featured Android Smartphone is water and scratch-resistant as well as dust proof, rendering it capable of withstanding the everyday abuse that most phones are subjected to during the course of their lives.
Combined with access to a massive range of both free and charged applications in the Google Android Market as well as always-on access to your mails, messages and social networks the device is also boredom proof.
Using Motorola's online MotoBLUR service, enabling you to remotely track your device using its built-in GPS capability as well as the ability to remotely wipe all data from your device in the event that it is lost or stolen, your device and personal information are also lostproof.
The Defy combines a wealth of functionality in a small, light yet strong package.

Key Features

• Corning Gorilla Glass Display provides impact and scratch resistance for those occasional bumps and drops.
• Create your own entertainment with the 5MP camera with flash or the Connected Music Player which enables you to discover, buy and download music, right from your phone. And make your media a group thing with DLNA. Choose from tons of applications, widgets and games to download from Google's Android Market. Boredom proof.
• Adobe Flash Lite 3 provides devices with Flash support for basic mobile web browsers so you can access many of your favourite Flash web sites.
• Enhanced web-browsing capabilities and a high-resolution touch display that provides edge-to-edge views of your favourite websites, photos and videos.
• The enhanced version of MotoBLUR makes it even easier to manage all your emails, messages and social updates in one easy place with the additions of filtering, resizable widgets, added corporate security and a versatile battery manager.
• Dustproof and water resistant, because accidents happen.
• AGPS and Google Maps Navigation. Lostproof.
• CrystalTALK PLUS intelligently amplifies your voice and filters out background noise. Soundproof.

At this stage in Android's development and popularity it's hopefully safe to assume that most of the blog's readers are familiar with the platform's capabilities in terms of enabling its users to fully customise the look and feel of their devices, adding shortcuts and bookmarks to commonly-accessed programs, web pages, contacts as well as device hardware controls, so I won't spend long covering these features: rest assured that as the Defy runs Android 2.1 (Eclair) all of the functionality you have come to expect from a device running Android is all here.

What Motorola does include on the Defy is their enhanced MotoBLUR interface and synchronisation service, similar in nature to HTC's Sense overlay, which I shall look at in more detail.

Home Screen

The Defy features the now traditional 7 homescreens, accessed by swiping to the left or right and an indicator at the bottom of the screen shows your position:

Motorola's range of home screen widgets provide at a glance access to social network updates, RSS feeds, emails and messages as well as one-click immediate access to bookmarks, contacts, music player and hardware controls, the look and feel, position and colour of which can be altered to suit your taste as can the homescreen wallpaper background.

Applications

The Defy comes pre-loaded with a wide range of applications that will satisfy most needs for on-the-go access to push email, social networking, satellite navigation, music and video playback, multimedia sharing as well as web browsing and document viewing. The full list of applications is as follows:

• 3G Mobile Hotspot
• Accounts
• Alarm & timer
• Amazon MP3
• Browser
• Calculator
• Calendar
• Camcorder
• Camera
• Cardock
• Contacts
• Dialler
• DLNA
• Email
• File Manager
• Gallery
• Google Mail
• Help Centre
• Latitude
• Manage SIM Card
• Maps
• Market
• Media Share
• Messaging
• Music
• Navigation
• News
• Phone Portal
• Places
• Quickoffice
• Settings
• Social Networking
• Talk
• Text Messaging
• Voice Dialer
• Voice Search
• YouTube

Email

The Defy features Motorola's own email client rather than the standard Android software, as well as a native Google Mail client application - although GMail can be accessed using the Exchange AciveSync protocol if you prefer.
The Email client supports both POP and IMAP consumer email protocols as well Exchange ActiveSync for corporate access to email, contacts and calendar. Multiple email accounts of all types can be configured.

Setting up a consumer email account is a very simple process - the MotoBLUR software having the settings for most popular email providers built-in, requiring that you enter only your name, email address, username and password without needing to know incoming or outgoing mail server settings. NOTE this will require an active data connection to set up the account automatically.

Should you need to or prefer to enter the settings manually, this is also possible:

You can also specify how far back into the past messages should be stored on the device.

Setting up an Exchange ActiveSync email account requires that you know your mail server address and domain information, but your IT department can provide these details if you are unsure:

Again you can specify how far back into the past you want to sync your mail and can optionally choose to also select Contacts and Calendar information.

Both trusted and self-signed SSL certificates are supported.

Mailbox subfolders can also be accessed:

New email messages can be composed in full HTML with quick access to fonts, common text images and emoticons:

The Defy also features the Swype keyboard software which allows for rapid, fault-tolerant text entry by swiping your finger across all letters you wish to type in quick succession without the need to remove your finger from the keyboard between button presses.

Connectivity & Synchronisation

The Defy supports USB, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity for PC synchronisation, multimedia and data sharing.

The 3G Mobile Hotspot application also allows you to share your device's 3G connection to the Internet with other WiFi clients, effectively turning your device into a portable mobile wireless access point. Connections can be optionally secured by both WEP and WPA to prevent unauthorised access to your data connection:

MediaLink is Motorola's free desktop synchronisation application for Windows, available for download from the Motorola web site (http://www.motorola.com/medialink). This software does not ship in the sales package and must be downloaded separately.

Once installed, the software enables synchronisation of music and playlists with both Windows Media Player and iTunes as well as synchronisation of pictures and videos:

And also enables you to backup and restore the contents of your SD memory card to your PC:

The Phone Portal application allows you to access the contents of the Defy's memory directly from the PC as well as view at-a-glance status information about the phone:

The feature works both via USB and WiFi, provided that both the Defy and the Windows PC are connected to the same local network:

The Defy's DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) certification means that it is further possible to share multimedia data (pictures, videos and music) wirelessly with other DLNA-capable equipment, be it another Motorola Defy, a PC running Windows Media Player 11 or a DLNA-certified television:

When enabled, the Media Share application can monitor for available DLNA-capable devices and notify you when a device is in range:

MotoBLUR

MotoBLUR is Motorola's online device location, contact synchronisation and remote device security wipe platform. An account is required to use the feature, something you will be prompted to create if you don't have one already when the phone is first powered on, but registration is free and requires only that you specify a unique username and password.

The web site is available at http://motorola.com/motoblur

Navigation

Running Android 2.1, the Defy is naturally able to enjoy all of the free "goodies" that Google releases first for its own mobile platform, the most impressive and powerful of which is unquestionably it Maps application, providing satellite imagery and travel directions updated live via the device's built-in GPS capability.

Multimedia

The bundled Amazon MP3 Player enables you to browse for, purchase and download music tracks directly to your device, where you can play them using the Defy's Connected Music Player. The Music player on the Defy is a portal to locally-stored tracks, Internet radio, podcasts, videos as well as the also bundled Soundhorn music identification software (similar to Shazam):

Utilities

One very nice utility on the Defy which is, to the best of my knowledge, unique to Motorola, is it's Data Saver feature. This provides more granular control over how applications access your device's data connection than is available on the standard Android platform.

You can view at-a-glance how much data you have sent and received, useful for tracking your usage if you are approaching your limit or for troubleshooting purposes.

Data connection can be turned off for all applications, or can be enabled and disabled for applications separately.

When used in conjunction with the Battery Manager you can disable data during specific off-peak hours or when the device is idle for a certain amount of time:

You can also view what has been using most of your device's battery resources:

The SIM Manager enables you to quickly and easily copy contacts between your device memory and your SIM card:

Social Networking

The Defy's Social Networks client feature support for all common services including Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. Updates can be displayed in a stream both in the application itself or optionally also on the homescreen for at-a-glance live access

A fully-featured YouTube application is also included offering the ability to search for and view videos as well as upload your own movies captured using the device's built-in 5MP camcorder:

Web Browsing

The Defy features the same WebKit-based web browser common to the Android platform, offering a rich desktop browsing experience including support for Flash-based web sites and a wide range of options including a pop-up blocker, support for multiple browsing windows, the ability to add bookmarks directly to the home screen as well as share web content via email, Bluetooth, or social network feeds:

Miscellaneous

The News application on the Defy provides access to personal and recommended RSS news feeds:

Voice Search is also included, enabling you to quickly locate contacts, emails, calendar entries or applications simply by saying what it is you wish to search for:

The Defy's Smart Sensor allows you to quickly silence the phone when it is ringing - either by double tapping the screen or simply by turning the device face down:

Summary

This has only been a quick overview of the Defy's features and abilities, for more detailed information visit the Motorola web site here - http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/GB-EN/Consumer-Products-and-Services/M...

Motorola Defy - unable to connect to some wireless routers

Problem

You are unable to connect to your wireless router from the Motorola Defy.

Cause

The Motorola Defy does not support the WiFi standard 802.11n in the 5GHz frequency band.

Resolution

The Motorola Defy does support the 802.11 b & g WiFi standards, and does support 802.11n in the 2.4 GHz frequency band. The wireless router should be reconfigured accordingly to operate on one of these standards.

Full information is available here - http://certifications.wi-fi.org/pdf_certificate.php?cid=WFA9659

Motorola Defy - unable to download applications from the Android Market

If you find that you are not able to access the Android Market or download any applications, or access large email attachments, browse the web or retrieve pictures from social networking sites, verify whether you have enabled the Defy's built-in Data Saver feature.

This feature can be enabled during the initial device setup wizard, or can be enabled within the Data Manager settings screen. The Data Saver is a utility from Motorola designed to assist users on limited data plans with their mobile operator to manage their data consumption. Effectively it requires you to have a WiFi-based connection to the Internet to perform any of the above actions. Should you not require this feature, or wish to disable the feature on a one-time basis to access your cellular data, the Data Saver feature should be disabled.

The Data Saver can be accessed under Settings --> Data Manager --> Data Saver:

(2 screens are shown above, one for Android 2.1 and one for Android 2.2)

Disabling text auto-correct on the Motorola ES400

By default the standard Windows Mobile text input options are not accessible on the Motorola ES400. In order to enable this option, and thereby gain access to the auto-correct and auto-suggest options, a registry tweak is required.

The required registry file can be downloaded from the FTP site here - ftp://ca:welcome@ftp.uk.im-mobility.com/Technical%20Support/Motorola/Mot...

Once you have downloaded the file, it will need to be saved to the Motorola ES400, either by transferring it via USB from a PC using Microsoft ActiveSync (for Windows XP and earlier) or the Windows Mobile Device Center (for Windows Vista and later), or by copying it to a memory card and inserting it into the device. The file should be saved to the Application folder on the ES400.

Once the file has been transferred to the device, on the ES400 open the File Explorer application:

Browse to the Application folder and locate the registry file:

Tap on the file to install it, you will be prompted to confirm the changes, select Yes:

Now soft reset the device to reboot it.

Once rebooted, select Settings from the Start menu:

Then Personal:

and finally Input, which would not have been present before the registry adjustment:

Here you can adjust auto-correct and auto-suggest options:

In other words, when in the Phone application you can jump to the Contacts list or the Messages application:

This functionality is included throughout the operating system and can be customised to fit user requirements providing huge enhancements in efficiency and usability.

A number of pre-built “themes” are included offering at-a-glance access to messaging and call information as well as weather updates:

The ES400’s integrated barcode scanner supports both 1D and 2D barcode images, and the device flash can be controlled as light source to ensure optimal image scanning.

The 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera can be used to capture both still images as well as high-quality video and signatures.

Both camera and barcode scanner output can be integrated into custom applications for remote uploading to back end line of business systems.

Durability

The ES400 conforms to a number of military and IEC standard drop specifications ensuring that the device will continue to run reliably even in the face of accidental dropping and unforgiving users! The ES400 withstands single impacts of 4ft (1.22 metre) drops and 300 consecutive 1.6ft (0.5 metre) hits as well as exposure to dust, moisture and rain.

When you combine this ruggedized, high standard build quality with Motorola’s commitment to a minimum 3-year lifecycle for the ES400, your device fleet’s lifespan can be measured in years rather than months.

MOTOLUXE™ is the latest from Motorola, featuring a sublimely thin design, a 4" edge-to-edge high resolution display, a picture perfect 8 megapixel camera with a front facing webcam too, and finished off with a dedicated lanyard groove with electric glow notification lighting. This phone will keep you in the limelight and everything about it screams high end, except for the price. Now, that will grab your attention.

Motorola’s MotoSwitch user interface changes the way you manage your life. With MotoSwitch, your smartphone learns who you talk to and which apps you use and keeps all of that information front and centre. The Social Graph feature gives you easy and fast access to the people who really matter. It learns who’s most important to you and uses that information to populate the home screen. The more frequently you communicate with someone, the bigger their icon becomes. The Activity Graph gives you quick and easy access to your favourite apps, automatically changing to reflect the apps you use the most. With Music Now you can easily play your favourite music while the Smart Gallery displays your favourite pictures as collections.

With Google Mobile™ services you’ll be able to search for anything with Google Search™, chat with your friends using Google Talk™, or find your way anywhere you want to go with Google Maps™ with navigation.

Strike While the Iron Is Hot

The ultra-vogue, very-slim, MOTOLUXE sets the bar high in terms of style with a 4-inch edge-to- edge touchscreen display. This hip device is perfect for writing emails, surfing the Web and watching movies. And, for the amateur photographers out there, the 8-megapixel autofocus camera with flash lets you shoot like a pro and capture life clearly and fully.

MOTOLUXE also sets itself apart with a lanyard slot that has a lighting effect. So you can see when you’ve missed a call, received a text or have an email waiting for you.

Other cool stuff includes:

• Front-facing VGA camera for video chatting with friends and family
• Available in liquorice or white
• 1400 mAh battery for up to 6.5 hours of talk time, 19 days of standby time

Motorola Pro Promotional Video

Introducing the Motorola RAZR i

RAZR i is the impossibly compact smartphone from Motorola with the performance of Intel Inside, adding power to your camera, Google apps, and more. With RAZR i, the world really can fit in the palm of your hand.

Key Features

• Display - Edge-to-edge 4.3-inch screen in a compact design
• Performance - 2GHz Intel Inside processor for a phone that keeps up with you. 2000 mAh battery providing over a full day's real-world usage
• Google in your hand - The power and ease of Google apps in the palm of your hand: Google Play, Google Navigation, Voice Actions, and more
• Premium Materials - Protected by an aircraft-grade aluminium frame, DuPont KEVLAR fibre, Corning Gorilla Glass 2 and a splash-guard coating
• Camera - Instant launch 8MP camera with advanced light sensor; 10 pictures in less than a second in multi-shot mode
• Intuitive software - SMARTACTIONS extends long battery life even further; interactive tutorials guide you through features

Build

The RAZR i feels solid in your hand from the outset: a smartphone that can take a knock whilst simultaneously feeling light. The rubberised rear adds extra grip whilst the edge-to-edge Gorilla Glass screen on the front gives the impression of holding a mini tablet device rather than a smartphone thanks to the incredibly thin bezel, which itself feels sturdy despite its comparative size. MicroSIM and MicroSD slots sit behind a secure plastic panel on the left of the Razr i while volume, camera and standby buttons are on the right.

User Interface

The first device released by Motorola Mobility since their acquisition by Google, the RAZR i mercifully doesn't require that you sign up for a MotoBlur account upon powering on, nor indeed require that you have a SIM inserted: Motorola seem to have learnt their lesson from previous incongruences. Indeed from unboxing to fully booted the welcome procedure is refreshingly quick and unintrusive. The 2GHz Intel processor certainly makes screen transitions impressively fast too. Once you're into the device, running Android 4.0.4 the RAZR i offers the customary multiple homescreens that we have come to expect from Android devices, but in a new approach you only need to have that number of homescreens you require, removing the potential annoyance of "over-scrolling" to a homescreen that has no content on it.
With the RAZR i you have one homescreen as standard and can add additional ones, either manually or from pre-built template suggestions simply by swiping to the right:

Typically of Android, there are a wide range of attractive and informative Internet-enabled widgets to choose from to add to your personalised screens:

Swiping to the left from the homescreen provides quick access to device settings:

Notifications (and settings) can be accessed from any point simply by swiping down from the top of the screen:

Running programs can be viewed, toggled between and closed simply by pressing on the right-hand Running Programs on-screen menu button:

Applications

The applications that come pre-installed on the RAZR i as standard are as follows:

• Browser
• Calculator
• Calendar
• Camera
• Clock
• Desk Clock
• Downloads
• Email
• Gallery
• Gmail
• Google+
• Guide Me
• Latitude
• Local
• Maps
• Messenger
• Movie Studio
• Navigation
• People
• Phone
• Play Books
• Play Movies
• Play Music
• Play Store
• Quickoffice
• Search
• Settings
• SmartAction
• Talk
• Text Messaging
• Vehicle Mode
• Voice Commands
• YouTube

Thankfully there is no "bloat" here. Naturally, a wealth of additional applications is available to download from the Google Play Store.

You can arrange those applications you access the most into a Favourites screen for quick and handy access:

Help

Motorola have included the Guide Me application to the RAZR i, an on-device user guide that covers virtually every aspect of the smartphone's usage and features in easy-to-follow tutorials and demo simultations:

Smart Actions

The Smart Actions feature on the RAZR i lets you create any number of intelligent, automatic responses from your smartphone based on predefined criteria. If you reach a certain destination, if it reaches a specific time, if you miss a call, if the battery falls below a certain level, you can configure the phone to perform a certain task. Actions can range from simply extending the life of the impressive 2000mAh battery by automatically disabling hardware features when it falls below a specific level of charge (such as dimming the screen, turning off WiFi or GPS, etc), to automatically replying to missed calls from specific (or all) individuals with a pre-written text message. The power and breadth of the feature is really quite impressive.

A number of actions are already created for you on the device which you can choose to use:

or you can create actions from scratch:

The below video provides an overview of the feature in action:

Email

As you'd expect from Android, the RAZR i supports a wide range of common email services and can determine the correct settings to use for those services automatically, requiring only that you enter your email address and password to set up that account on the device and begin synchronising your information, including Gmail and Hotmail. POP and IMAP services can also be added manually if not mainstream.

Business users can set up Exchange email accounts too. Email accounts can be managed within Settings --> Accounts & Sync. To add an email account, select Add Account

Select the option to add a Corporate email account:

Enter in your corporate email address and password and tap Next. The RAZR i will attempt to determine the correct settings to use automatically. If it is unable to, you will be prompted to verify the details manually.

Enter in the required information:

Your Exchange username should be completed in the form "domain\username", if you do not know this information contact your IT administrator, but the domain is usually the same as that entered on your laptop or desktop when logging in, and the username will also be that entered into your PC.

The mail server address will be required, again this information can be obtained from your IT administrator, but if you access your email from a web browser on your home PC by browsing to https://mymail.company.com or something similar, then this is usually the address to enter here.

Once you have entered the required settings, tap Next. If your company provides security policies for connecting devices to Exchange, such as requiring that you enter a device unlock password on your phone, you will be prompted to accept this policy.

You can then select what information you want to synchronise, and how often:

And again accept that your company IT department can perform certain actions on your phone if they wish to. depending on the policies they have set on the Exchange server:

Finally enter a name for the email account and you are good to go:

Your email account will now be listed in the list of Accounts, here you can configure the account further if you want:

Toggle access to synchronised information - note Task synchronisation is not available.

Configure Automatic Replies (out of office messages):

As well as your default email signature and "Quick Responses": blocks of text that can be used as a template for common responses to emails, saving you having to type out the same message every time:

For the data conscious, a size limit can be imposed on email attachments, and you can optionally elect to only download attachments over WiFi rather than use your cellular data connection and eat into your data bundle:

Multiple email accounts can be defined, and viewed within a single unified Inbox if desired, with each account being colour-coded to identify it. All mailbox folders can be accessed too

When composing new email messages, suggestions from the company global address list will be populated automatically:

Productivity

The Quickoffice application, preinstalled as standard on the RAZR i, allows you to view, edit and create Office documents, including Word, Excel and PowerPoint. The application can also integrate with a number of online storage services including Google Drive, Box, Dropbox and Evernote among others:

Camera

The camera application provides access to those features and image processing effects you'd expect from a dedicated digital camera, including burst shot, HDR and low-light capability:

Captured images can then be further edited and manipulated within the Gallery application:

Summary

The RAZR i is an impressive smartphone: the 2GHz processor can handle regular usage with ease, even aplomb. Despite only using a single core, the 2GHz clock speed provides better performance than many dual-core models, if not quite matching the experience of quad-core devices. You might be concerned that this level of performance might come at a price - battery life. Fortunately the 2000mAh battery can comfortably provide a real-world day's use: a full day at that, not just 9 to 5. When combined with Motorola's Smart Actions technology you can extend the between-charge life of your RAZR i considerably further.
The build quality is also of a high standard. The exposed screws and chunky buttons and covers might feel a little industrial to some, but the RAZR i's small size and lightness does not come at the expense of ruggedness: it feels solid whilst not being a brick, and with its Gorilla Glass, Kevlar and splash guard coating should be able to withstand the day-to-day knocks smartphones are subject to.
Although the RAZR i does not run the very latest Android software (4.0 as opposed to 4.1), all of the usual Google goodies are available, including the Google Chrome web browser (which Google very quickly updated to support Intel processors), Google Maps providing satellite imagery and turn-by-turn navigation, and access to Google's apps, videos, books and music.
The RAZR i: fast and solid.

The full press release reads as follows:

LONDON – Sept. 18, 2012 – Motorola Mobility in partnership with Intel Corporation introduced the powerful MotorolaRAZR™ i with Intel Inside®: the new full-screen smartphone that fits in the palm of your hand. Its Super AMOLED Advanced 4.3-inch display spans from edge-to-edge with virtually no border – giving you more screen with less phone. RAZR i is the first smartphone that can achieve speeds of 2.0 GHz thanks to a fast Intel® Atom™ processor. Jump from a game to a text and over to a playlist, then off to browse the Web – all without stopping and on a long-lasting battery that is 40 percent more powerful than the competition.

The power of Intel Inside means you also get an instant-launch 8-megapixel camera that can load in less than a second. Just use the dedicated camera key so you get the shot you want. When there’s action involved, multi-shot mode lets you snap 10 pictures in less than a second. And with the illuminated sensor located on the back and High Dynamic Range (HDR) capabilities, you’ll get a great shot, even in challenging lighting conditions.

“Together with Intel, we’re redefining what people can expect from a mobile device. A camera that launches in an instant, Web pages that load blazingly fast and a device that’s the perfect balance of screen size and fit in hand,” said Jim Wicks, senior vice president, Consumer Experience Design, Motorola Mobility. “RAZR i delivers just that when you put an Intel-fast processor in a beautifully designed phone and add in extra long battery life.”

“Motorola RAZR i with Intel Inside naturally blends together the value propositions of high performance Intel Architecture and great battery life, Motorola Mobility device innovation and the Android™ platform,” said Erik Reid, general manager, Intel’s Mobile and Communications Group. “Intel’s goal is to provide compelling technology options that translate into great user benefits and experiences. RAZR i is a great proofpoint in the collaboration and we’re thrilled to be working with Motorola to bring this edge-to-edge experience enhanced with Intel Inside to people around the world.”

Powered by Android™ 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich (upgradeable to Jelly Bean), RAZR i puts the Google universe in your hand. Google Play™ gives you access to more than 600,000 apps and games, millions of books and thousands of movies. Get where you need to go with Google Maps for Android™ with free turn-by-turn directions and voice guidance. And when your hands are full, use Voice Actions for Android™ on RAZR i to compose a text, get directions, make a call, play a song…or simply Google something. RAZR i also features near field communication (NFC) technology so you can send contacts, links, maps and more directly to compatible phones with Android Beam™. Just hold the phones together and tap the screen.

Designed with premium protective materials, RAZR i is built to go everywhere. A diamond cut aircraft-grade aluminum4 frame surrounds the display, which is made of Corning® Gorilla® Glass, to deflect both scratches and scrapes. On the back, RAZR i is made DuPont™ KEVLAR® strong. Spilled coffee? Caught in the rain? Don’t worry. RAZR i is protected with a splash-guard coating—even on the electrical boards inside.

RAZR i already has a long battery – and when you set up the SMARTACTIONS™ battery savings rule your phone will automatically adjust to squeeze more out of each charge. Whether you want to maximize your last ounce of power, or prevent your phone from ringing during a meeting, SMARTACTIONS will automatically trigger specific actions. Motorola’s exclusive Guide Me app comes preloaded with interactive, swipe-by-swipe tutorials for tons of features – no instruction manual required. Also unique to Motorola, the interactive Circles Widget allows quick access to notifications, weather, time and more.

Microsoft Exchange-based email accounts are also naturally supported, providing push-based updates of mail, contacts and calendar information with your company's Exchange server - be it local or hosted.

All mailbox folders are available. Rules can also be configured to only download email attachments over a WiFi connection to save on mobile data charges:

Once installed, you can specify which folders on the PC you want to grant remote access to:

As well as enter a name for the PC to identify it should you choose to install MotoCAST on more than one machine

On the RAZR itself, launch the Files file manager application and select the option to browse MotoCast computers and select the PC you wish to connect to:

The shared content on the PC will then be displayed:

MotoPRINT

Another feature of the RAZR is the ability to print over WiFi to a supported printer. This feature can work directly to a WiFi-capable printer by IP address, provided that it is connected to the same wireless access point as the RAZR, or can query the local network for shared printers. A free utility is also available for Windows PCs that allows any printer installed on that PC to be shared via WiFi and made accessible to the RAZR:

Once a printer has been configured, you can then print from your Documents, Pictures, Emails, Contacts and more

Smart Actions

The Smart Actions feature on the RAZR allows you to define rules which govern application and hardware behaviour based on time, physical location, battery level and more - enabling you to automate common tasks you perform on the phone, saving you time and saving your device's battery.
For example, you may want to launch the music player when you are at the gym, you may want to silence the ringer when you are in the office, etc

The below video provides an overview of the new feature:

Miscellaneous

The RAZR can be used both as a USB modem on Windows PCs, allowing you to share the device's connection to the Internet, but also as a portable wifi hotspot, allowing you to connect up to 5 WiFi-capable devices simultaneously

The Quickoffice suite, loaded on the RAZR as standard, allows you to view, edit and create Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents as well as view PDF files:

Home Screen

Running Android 3.0 "Honeycomb", Google's tablet-optimised version of Android, the homescreen features a 5-screen interface, accessed by swiping to the left or right as with the 7-screen interface on the smaller Smartphone Android devices.
As with the Smartphone version of Android, each and every screen can be populated with a wide variety of widgets providing at-a-glance access to important information which is updated live:

as well as application shortcuts

not to mention the ability to change the background wallpaper

and shortcuts to commonly-accessed settings:

The Android 3.0 interface will be a little unfamiliar at first to users of Android 1.x/2.x devices: apps are accessed by tapping on the "Apps" button in the top right hand corner of the screen; there are also no hardware buttons - navigation being handled by 3 icons permanently displayed in the lower left hand corner. Once you have got used to the new interface, however, you have a streamlined tablet device ideally suited to watching video and reading. The overall neon colour scheme on a dark background works well, and reminded me instantly (and has others) of the film Tron.
The ability to customise the homescreen to such an extent will appeal to users of iOS devices frustrated with the rigidity of Apple's layout or those who simply want all of their important information all in the one place, up to date, without the need to launch specific apps to access the information contained in that app.

Applications

The Xoom is a streamlined device out of the box, the application list consists of the following:

• Browser
• Calculator
• Calendar
• Camera
• Clock
• Contacts
• Downloads
• Dungeon Defender
• Email
• Film Studio
• Gallery
• GMail
• Latitude
• Maps
• Market
• Music
• Navigation
• Places
• Pulse
• Search
• Settings
• Talk
• Voice Search
• YouTube

There is no "bloat" on the Xoom as with other devices, you are free to download and install those apps from the Android Market that you wish. Running the latest version of Android with an update to 3.1 on the way, the Xoom will support the best the Market has to offer including Google Earth, Google Maps, Google Goggles, Google Translate and more. The bundled versions of YouTube an GMail are designed specifically for the tablet form factor and Android 3.0 interface.

Cameras & Display

Boasting a 2MP camera on the front, and a 5MP camera with digital zoom and dual LED flash on the rear with auto focus, not to mention 720p HD camcorder and HDMI output capability, when combined with its truly impressive screen resolution (1280x800 WXGA) the Xoom can become the centre of your multimedia life enabling you to capture, share and view those precious moments and watch movies in widescreen format as they were intended...for up to 8 hours on a single charge.
With such a large display the Xoom provides sharper and crisper representation not only of images and movies, but web pages and applications as a whole.
The front-facing camera also makes the Xoom perfect for video conferencing services such as the built-in Google Talk app.
It's hard to imagine anyone using a tablet-sized device as their main digital camera, but it's certainly nice to have, especially useful for capturing images during meetings or presentations.

Accessories

With a range of exciting accessories available, the Xoom can be used as an AV output device for your HDMI-capable TV or monitor and can also be used with a wireless keyboard and mouse.

Email

The Xoom features the standard Android 3.0 email client, supporting the ubiquitous POP and IMAP protocols as well as Exchange ActiveSync for business users

For IT administrators the Android 3.0 Exchange ActiveSync client supports the ability to remotely enforce password usage on connected devices, password complexity as well as remote wipe capability and on-device encryption:

Microsoft Office document attachments on emails can also be viewed (editing capability is not possible as standard):

The bundled GMail client is a reworked version of the application designed specifically for the Tablet form factor.

Miscellaneous

The Music Player includes album art and a carousel-style 3D track browsing interface which makes searching for and locating music not only easy but a pleasure:

The Pulse RSS & ATOM news feed application is pre-loaded onto the Xoom providing a tablet-optimised view of your daily news source updates in an attractive interface:

Google Maps, Navigation and Latitude apps are loaded as standard:

The Motorola Xoom is a powerhouse of hardware. The multitasking capabilities of the Android 3.0 operating system, the impressive battery life and the large amount of storage available make the Xoom feel more like a portable desktop replacement than other devices I have used. With an update to Android 3.1 on the way, which will support USB host mode, the ability to connect a USB mouse and/or keyboard (or games controller) to the device will make it that much more capable as an on-the-go work and play device.
Android 3.0 is still in its infancy and there are relatively few tablet-optimised applications available, but this will change as Google seek to unite the tablet and smartphone branches of application development with "Ice Cream Sandwich", or Android 4.0
