“Droid Does,” the campaign that started it all has been reignited this morning by Verizon to show off their current lineup of DROID phones, the RAZR, RAZR MAXX and DROID 4. Things are a bit different this time around though. What was once robotic arms, ninja women, bike chase scenes, and futuristic science fiction has now become an outlet for smiles, feature highlighting, and uses for real world situations. Enter the new world of “Droid Does” where actual humans are involved. Has been a while since we had one of these, so I’d love to know what you think. 

A new Ice Cream Sandwich build for the DROID RAZR and RAZR MAXX has leaked within the last  day or so as build 6.14.84. We are hearing that the file size (roughly 343MB) matches that of the file listed in yesterday’s VZW update schedule, so this could be the official build assuming it passes all tests. Our reader has been testing the build over night and we are hearing that the file may be released to the public within the next hour. The folks at DroidRzr.com will have it, but we will be updating this post to let you guys know.

Once released, it appears as if you will need to be on build 6.12.181 in order to apply it. If that sounds familiar, that’s because 6.12.181 is the new OTA update that started rolling out at the beginning of the week – another sign that this ICS might be the one.  

The bug fixing 6.12.181 update for the DROID RAZR and RAZR MAXX is rolling out to all devices now. To pull it, simply head into Settings>About phone>System updates. The update runs about 17.4MB in size and will only take a few moments to download assuming you have a decent connection. If you need to see the full changelog, check it out here. Now, to set our sights on Ice Cream Sandwich.

Cheers Tyler, Jason, Ed, and Krs_Won!

Now, this is one of the better Photoshop screw-ups we have seen in a while, right here. According to the newest Verizon mailer that is going out to customers with upgrade dates on the horizon, the DROID RAZR MAXX would be a great option because of it’s amazing battery life, amount of storage, and 4G LTE. It clearly will also multitask with the best of them thanks to a second set of navigation keys that are embedded on the screen, similarly to we have on the Galaxy Nexus. Oh, that would also mean it runs Ice Cream Sandwich, something we know won’t happen for at least a few more weeks.

Worth a giggle, so we thought we’d share.

Cheers Josh!

We spotted the changelog for the RAZR and RAZR MAXX update to 6.12.181 yesterday, leading us to believe that an update was imminent. Indeed it is. The soak test for it through the Motorola Feedback Network was re-opened last night with the software going live for testers already this morning. From what we have heard, this update is actually pretty decent. Some of our readers are noticing faster toggling of Airplane mode, long-standing force closes have been fixed, and more. The testing period is apparently going to take around 4 days, so that could mean a push will happen to the rest of us by Monday. (Assuming everything goes well, of course.)

An announced soak test. A confirmed update version to 6.12.181. A leaked Android 4.0.3 build. A quickly removed hint that it could be Ice Cream Sandwich by Motorola. Silence from Motorola. A cancelled soak test. And now the official changelog. What a mess. But at least we know that the next update for both the DROID RAZR and RAZR MAXX is going to be 6.12.181 and NOT Android 4.0.3. That’s unfortunate, but hopefully this means that ICS is around the corner after some bugs are addressed.

After updating to 6.12.181, you will have a more stable device, extended battery life, an accurate 4G indicator, enhanced security in VZW bloatware, and a new MotoCast widget. Fun times.

Usually when these official changelogs go up, an update arrives within a week. This also doesn’t appear as if they are doing a soak test for 6.12.181 any longer at all (unless something changes in the next day) and hopefully will do one shortly for the next big thing. 

Want to be like Perez Hilton? Yeah (weirdo)? This is the phone for you. Motorola claims that Perez is currently the only human on Earth with a pink RAZR MAXX, but is giving you the opportunity to own one as well. Up for bid through a charity auction that supports VH1′s Save the Music Foundation, you can battle it out for the right to join Hilton in this exclusive club. We have seen white, red and purple RAZRs in the past, but even I’ll admit that pink is not exactly what I was expecting to come next from Moto.

Bid.
