Motorola hasn’t quite opened up to the idea of unlockable bootloaders as many would have hoped, but their latest announcement shows that at least they aren’t completely “closed” to the concept. Today Motorola announced a “Developer Edition” RAZR for Europe that will feature an unlockable/relockable bootloader along with all the usual RAZR goodies. They also announced that a developer device would be coming soon to the US but no specifics were given.

Verizon’s most recent MAP (minimum advertised price) list has quite a few discounted devices. The most intriguing is that of the Motorola DROID 4. It appears the DROID 4 will be dropping its price to $199 before it’s even released. The DROID 4 still hasn’t seen a release date, but it was originally set to hit the market with a price tag of $249.99. If this latest MAP is to be trusted, those looking to get their hands on one of the slimmest and fastest sliding QWERTY smartphones to hit the market, will also be treated to a lower price. Now that’s something to look forward to.

Verizon has an update ready for the DROID RAZR and it’s set to bring improved 3G/4G data connectivity among other things. The “soak test” has already begun, along with the support documentation being added to the Verizon site. While there’s no official ETA at the moment, the document shown above let’s us know what users can expect to be included in the update:
