According to Motorola's Ice Cream Sandwich software update schedule, the GSM version of the RAZR is bound to get the desired Android update package any moment now. But as it happens, one happy RAZR owner in Greece got the official ICS update earlier than everyone else.
It all happened when the RAZR owner in question had a problem with his device and brought it to Greek carrier Cellcom's customer care center. When he collected it, he got a notification, and his smartphone updated to Android 4.0.4.
When asked if Greece is about to get the over-the-air ICS update, both Motorola and Cellcome responded negatively. Perhaps the guys in the customer care center flashed some of their internal testing ROMs, by mistake. This would suggest that even though the update isn't official just yet, it's already undergoing testing and it should become available soon.
As seen from the screenshot on the left, the firmware version has been named "EMEA" (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) meaning plenty of RAZR owners should be receiving good news soon.

Motorola Mobility and Orange UK Announce Motorola ATRIX™, the Future of Mobile Computing
The world’s most powerful smartphone packs the power and capabilities of a PC in your pocket through Motorola’s revolutionary webtop application
Basingstoke, U.K. – Motorola Mobility, Inc. (NYSE: MMI), and Orange UK announced Motorola ATRIX™, which unleashes the power of the smartphone like never before. Motorola’s revolutionary webtop application makes Motorola ATRIX the only smartphone to carry the power of mobile computing inside your pocket. Designed to bring unprecedented computing capabilities to your smartphone, Motorola’s webtop application runs a full Mozilla Firefox 3.6 browser and supports Adobe® Flash® Player to open up all the rich graphics, animations and video on the web. Motorola ATRIX includes a dual core processor with each core running at 1 GHz, delivering up to two GHz of processing power, and 1 GB of RAM. Put simply, Motorola ATRIX is the world’s most powerful smartphone.
“We want to empower individuals, giving them new ways to stay connected, informed and entertained at home, on the job and anywhere in between,” said Andrew Morley, vice president of marketing for Motorola Mobility, EMARA. “We are finding that consumers are increasingly using smartphones as their primary digital screens. Motorola ATRIX ushers in a new era in mobile computing and has the power to deliver on its promise to empower individuals as it comes loaded with the Motorola webtop application, which enables consumers to enhance the capabilities of their smartphones and simultaneously reduce their need for additional mobile computing screens.”
“We are proud to be the UK launch partner for Motorola ATRIX, a ground-breaking product that delivers on our ongoing commitment to offer customers the latest multimedia devices,” said Phil Roberson, director of Devices, Everything Everywhere, the company that runs Orange UK. “Motorola ATRIX offers our customers a new and exciting way to stay in touch with the people who matter the most to them.”
Motorola ATRIX is designed to essentially become a user’s primary digital hub to create, edit and enjoy documents, media and content. This is facilitated by Motorola’s webtop application and by the optional Motorola HD Multimedia Dock and Motorola Laptop Dock that provide users with a larger screen, keyboard and trackpad – enabling an enhanced and more interactive experience with their devices.
While in webtop, users are given a window into the smartphone that enables access to all of the device’s functionality within Android. Calls continue uninterrupted if Motorola ATRIX is removed from a dock. Plus, the new Entertainment Centre feature lets you show all of the photos, music and videos you already enjoy on-the-go on a big screen in your living room.
Motorola ATRIX provides consumers with instantaneous access to all their emails, files and media. While using the webtop application, business customers will benefit from the Citrix Receiver application for complete access to commercial desktop-licensed software. In addition to the full suite of office productivity and email applications, users can also access a great number of web applications such as Salesforce.com, Google Docs, and any HTML application or service from a full desktop browser.
Motorola ATRIX runs Android™ 2.2 with access to more than 100,000 apps and games in the Android Market™.
Motorola is highlighting two industry-leading companion docks for ATRIX:
The Motorola HD Multimedia Dock as three USB ports and an HDMI port enabling connections to a keyboard, mouse, speakers and HDMI-compatible monitor for working at your desk, or connecting to an HDMI-compatible television and home theater audio system for enjoying video, music, games and more.
The Motorola Laptop Dock has an incredibly thin design with an 11.6-inch screen, 36Wh three-cell battery that delivers up to eight hours of battery life, full keyboard, stereo speakers, and weighs just 1.1 kilograms. Users simply dock their Motorola ATRIX into the back for true mobility at work, at home and playing on the go in a form factor that’s lighter and smaller than most laptops on the market.
Key features and specifications:
A dual core processor capable of opening web pages twice as fast as most other smartphones, rendering games faster and displaying HD video on big-screen TVs
A full 1 GB of RAM for twice the RAM of most smartphones to deliver effortless multi-tasking, such as watching a movie while receiving and responding to email
The world’s first qHD display for a smartphone, offering high resolution and 24-bit color, making it easier to read indoors and outdoors
Front- and rear-facing cameras for video chat and the ability to record in HD
Up to 48GB of storage (16GB internal and optional 32GB MicroSD card) – enough to store thousands of songs, photos and movies
Optional 3G Mobile Hotspot service for connecting up to four additional Wi-Fi-enabled devices
Biometric fingerprint reader for easily unlocking your phone while providing extra security
Under 11mm thin with an extra large 1930 mAh battery for extended standby and talk time
Two microphones employing noise-reduction technology so your calls will be heard loud and clear in even the noisiest environments

4Home and Verizon Wireless Showcase Connected Home Services for 4G LTE Network
At CES 2011, 4Home Demonstrates Jointly Developed Energy Management, Home Monitoring and New Mobile Broadband Services with Verizon Wireless
LAS VEGAS and BASKING RIDGE, N.J- CES-– From the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), 4Home Connected Solutions, a division of Motorola Mobility, Inc., announced connected home services that leverage the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Mobile Broadband network. Real-time remote monitoring and control of consumers’ homes and their energy consumption will be possible using select smartphones. This collaboration between 4Home and Verizon Wireless will be showcased during CES at the Verizon Wireless booth.
“4Home has been working with Verizon Wireless and the LTE Innovation Center for more than a year to develop these second-generation connected home services for LTE,” said Jeff Crews, director of business development at 4Home. “Offering these kinds of value-added services over LTE only enhances the customer experience. Homeowners can enjoy faster response times and real-time, high-quality video streaming when viewing their homes from Verizon Wireless LTE-enabled handsets.”
Overview of Connected Home Services and LTE
Connected home services are a new generation of consumer services that allow users to remotely monitor and control the connected devices in their homes, individually and as a system. The services currently include energy management, home security and monitoring, home health, and media management. The 4G LTE network allows these services to be offered on compatible phones, further enhancing the mobile experience.
“Verizon Wireless’ ongoing work with 4Home through the Innovation Center is a great example of how a collaborative approach will result in consumer- and business-friendly solutions,” said Brian Higgins, executive director, LTE ecosystem development at Verizon Wireless. “Connected home services are made better by the power and capabilities of our 4G LTE network.”
Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE network is the fastest, most advanced 4G mobile network in the United States, providing speeds up to 10 times faster than its 3G network. In addition, the company is turning on its 4G LTE network at more than 60 commercial airports, most within the 38 initial market launch areas and some outside those areas, for added convenience for road warriors. The company’s 4G LTE network ultimately will connect a full range of electronic devices and machines to each other.
“We continue to see more leading service providers entering the connected home market,” said Bill Ablondi, director of home systems research at Parks Associates. “Not only is this suite of services an ideal extension of service providers’ current offerings; our research shows that consumers desire to be connected to their homes as well as other people. It looks like 2011 will be the year the smartphone becomes the next generation of universal remote controller.”
More information on the connected home services running on Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE network from Jan. 6-9 in Verizon Wireless’ booth (#35216 in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center) at CES.

Motorola Solutions Achieves Key Public Safety LTE Milestones
Demonstration of first public safety data device using a Public Safety LTE module and first BayWEB mobile data session highlight Motorola’s Public Safety LTE leadership
Schaumburg, Ill – The Motorola Solutions business of Motorola, Inc (NYSE: MOT) demonstrated live over-the-air (OTA) broadband video in the 700MHz Public Safety spectrum band to the world’s first public safety data device using a commercial LTE chipset module. Motorola also congratulates BayWEB for their first live, OTA data session in the San Francisco Bay Area.
KEY FACTS
OTA broadband video streaming using a commercial LTE chipset module
The LTE module used in the demonstration at the 2010 Motorola Digital Users Group Conference is ready for implementation in a broad array of Public Safety LTE devices in multiple form factors.
The compact USB device uses a commercially produced chipset that supports the Band Class 14 Public Safety spectrum band. The demonstration is a key milestone in the development of open market components to foster a broad selection of LTE devices that are optimized for use by public safety and benefit from economies of scale from carrier LTE deployments worldwide.
The portfolio of LTE devices will include portable data adaptors, vehicular modems and multimedia handhelds among others. Motorola is making additional investments to fully enhance standards-compliant LTE components to serve the unique requirements of public safety operations.
Motorola’s LTE technology demonstration includes dynamic prioritization and preemption for safeguarding LTE capacity for critical resources during an emergency response.
Motorola has also developed real-time video intelligence that adjusts video to best match real-time wireless LTE bandwidth capabilities with the device screen size.
First data session on a deployed public safety LTE network
The first live data session in the San Francisco Bay area marks the first operational use of the public safety broadband spectrum in a true Public Safety deployment.
SUPPORTING QUOTES
Darren McQueen, corporate vice president, Private Broadband, Motorola Solutions

Motorola first demonstrated Public Safety applications over a live 700 MHz LTE system at the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) conference in San Diego two years ago.”
Undersheriff Rich Lucia, Alameda County
“We are committed to bringing LTE broadband services to the Bay Area. This first video session is a major step in making this system a reality to provide broadband for Public Safety.”
Commander David Wilson, City of Ventura Police Department

Motorola Mobility Files Patent Infringement Complaints Against Microsoft
LIBERTYVILLE, Ill. – Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) announced that its subsidiary, Motorola Mobility, Inc. has filed complaints against Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) with the U.S. District Courts for the Southern District of Florida and the Western District of Wisconsin alleging infringement of sixteen patents by Microsoft’s PC and Server software, Windows mobile software and Xbox products.
The Motorola patents directed to PC and Server software relate to Windows OS, digital video coding, email technology including Exchange, Messenger and Outlook, Windows Live instant messaging and object oriented software architecture. The Motorola patents directed to Windows mobile software relate to Windows Marketplace, Bing maps and object oriented software architecture. The Motorola patents directed to Xbox relate to digital video coding, WiFi technology, and graphical passwords. Motorola Mobility has requested that Microsoft cease using Motorola's patented technology and provide compensation for Microsoft's past infringement.
Kirk Dailey, corporate vice president of intellectual property at Motorola Mobility, said, “Motorola’s R&D and intellectual property are of great importance to the Company and are renowned worldwide. We are committed to protecting the interests of our shareholders, customers and other stakeholders and are bringing this action against Microsoft in order to halt its infringement of key Motorola patents. Motorola has invested billions of dollars in R&D to create a deep and broad intellectual property portfolio and we will continue to do what is necessary to protect our proprietary technology.”
Mr. Dailey noted that Microsoft also has filed separate patent infringement litigation against Motorola. “It is unfortunate,” he said, “that Microsoft has chosen the litigation path rather than entering into comprehensive licensing negotiations, as Motorola has mutually beneficial licensing relationships with the great majority of technology companies industry-wide.”

Motorola Recognized by Three Leading Sustainability Rankings
Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes, Carbon Disclosure Project and Newsweek’s Green Rankings Name Motorola as Sustainability Leader
SCHAUMBURG, Ill. – Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) has been recognized as a leader by three sustainability rankings: Dow Jones Sustainability World and North American Indexes (DJSI), Carbon Disclosure Project’s (CDP’s) Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index and Newsweek’s Green Rankings. This announcement comes shortly after Motorola announced it has received a 2010 Green Power Leadership Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the second consecutive year.
KEY FACTS
For the seventh consecutive year, the DJSI’s World and North American Indexes selected Motorola for inclusion based on its environmental, social and economic performance. The annual review of the DJSI family includes a thorough analysis of issues such as corporate governance, risk management, branding, innovation, climate change mitigation, product stewardship, supply chain standards and labor practices. Motorola received the highest score among communication technology companies for several categories, including corporate governance, innovation management, codes of conduct/compliance and corporate citizenship/philanthropy.
The CDP’s Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index has commended Motorola for its approach to climate change disclosure. An evaluation tool for institutional investors, the index highlights the constituent companies within the S&P 500 Index that have displayed the most professional approach to corporate governance for climate change disclosure practices. High scores indicate good internal data management and understanding of climate change-related issues affecting the company.
Newsweek ranked Motorola No. 43 on its 2010 Green Rankings of the 500 largest U.S. companies, based on the company’s environmental footprint, policies and practices, along with its reputation among its peers.
The U.S. EPA recently honored Motorola as a Green Power Leadership Award winner, which recognizes those companies that distinguish themselves through their purchase, leadership, overall strategy and impact on the green power market. Motorola is currently purchasing 119 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power annually, which is enough green power to meet more than 30 percent of the company's purchased electricity use in the U.S.
SUPPORTING QUOTE
Karen Tandy, Senior Vice President, Public Affairs, Motorola
“At Motorola, sustainability is at the core of our business practices,” said Karen Tandy, senior vice president, public affairs, Motorola. “To help build a more sustainable world, we are working to reduce our carbon footprint, enhance the environmental profile of our products and improve the social and environmental conditions in our supply chain. To ensure the sustainability of innovation for future generations, we invest in next-generation thought leadership by supporting education specifically focused on science, technology, engineering and math.”
