The lucid is very slow, has no led charging indicator, has a bad camera and takes forever to charge. It also has bad battery life. The only other phone in my price range is a razr. Do you think it is worth paying the 30$ restoring fee or should I just deal with this phone

I am not going to talk crap about that phone but if crack flashing isn't what you care after but a better overall phone is I would pay the stocking fee and move into the maxx if you can. If not the RAZR is still a good phone. I am using the ics 84 leak and can tell you that it is 100% great owning my maxx. Only option I wish I had was a 0 shutter camera but the maxx camera is very fast and once focused almost 0 shutter. It will do
The plain Razr is fine if you're OK with charging it a lot... personally, I wouldn't change unless it was to the Razr Maxx.
I've owned both RAZR and Maxx and the RAZR still has very good battery life In general. You just gotta hope for a RAZR with no mechanical factory defects...( I've had 2 different phones returned). Also when I said a RAZR with no defects that also went for the Maxx as well. I've had one RAZR and one Maxx with defects

Well you're certainly getting better development on the rezound than you would with the razr. Stupid Motorola / Verizon.
I'd get rid of my razr for an HTC phone if I could just for the development.

I went from a rez to my maxx. The rez was very nice and very nice camera and screen...but w the extended battery it got heavy feeling. Uncomfortably heavy. Hard to see in the sun. Not hating on the rezound as it is a great device...but my maxx w ics 4.0.4 is exactly what I wanted. 6+ hours screen on time. No hesitation or stuttering. Runs perfect. Autosync always on. Always run data. Auto brightness on. No tricks. Just use it

I got the galaxy nexus, but I cannot stand the signal issues. I can't use my phone at work while my coworkers laugh at me with full bars and data connection. So I have compared the Droid to my nexus and it does have significantly better reception. So is the Droid razr worth switching from the galaxy nexus?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
I changed from a SGS2 to a RAZR for the same reason. Far better reception and call quality. You won't regret it.
Quadrant scores mean SFA when you can't actually use it for a phone call - which is why we buy them!

No batter has been no problem. Hold down the vol up and power for 8 seconds and it does the same as pulling the battery. There have been 2 new ROMs added for the CDMA version in the last week over at droidrzr.com and both rock.

The nexus felt cheap to me. ICS is coming to the razr soon enough, besides id rather they work all the bugs out before pushing it to the razr. As you stated the signal strength is a problem with the nexus. Also no usb mass storage and no sd card slot factored into my decision. The hardware is basically the same. Also i might be a little bias towards Motorola as every Motorola device ive owned has been top notch.
I am sure many will disagree with me, but I preferred the razr over the nexus.

I totally agree with you. Motorola makes some solid phomes. I owned the atrix 4g and I loved it. The last Samsung phone I had was the captivate and it was one horrible esperience. Yellow screens, poor battery life, GPS broken, and many more. The nexus does feel cheap but sits nicely in my hand I can type with one hand with is a big plus. While I tried holding the razor and it felt akward in the hand. I also seen that the phone is too skiny wide to type with one hand. Well we'll see. I'm waiting on the maxxx gonna check it out and make my final decision. Thank you guys for all the answers. Really helped me out.

I had a Gnex but returned last week. I loved owning an unlocked device (and playing with various roms), but the poor phone radio and battery life killed me. Jumping on the RazrMaxx on Thursday.
It's a real shame about the Razr. I do really like Motorola devices, but without a unlockable bootloader I just can't purchase it. ICS on my Nexus S has spoiled me.
My RAZR has had great battery life...much better than my wife's iPhone 4. I like the Verizon network so unlocking isn't a concern here. I agree the thinness of the phone was awkward but I put an otter box on anything over 199.00 lol But I can't say I would switch if i already had either the Nexus or RAZR. Too much of a hassle. Hope you enjoy whatever you choose.

I've gone through two rezounds now and two different extended batteries and I still cannot get decent battery life. If you look at the screen shot this is fairly typical for charge level at this point in the day. The annoying thing is that I haven't had much screen on time at all.

I wouldn't go that route, my boss recently bought a Maxx and his battery life is only slightly better than my Rezound running the VZ extended battery.
Was lucky enough to find someone wanting to straight trade my GNex for this DRM... had it for a week and haven't looked back!
Right now, my batt is at 50... been discharging for 18 hours... 4 hours with the screen on at 50% brightness and 1 hour of calls.
Was so happy with mine that I went out and got my wife a white DR (she isn't the power user I am).
Anyways, just saying howdy.

This post only for ya'll to see my signature...
BTW: We can still have all the great goodies of the Nexus if someone successfully ports it. I had used ICS of the G Nexus, based on GB kernels though, and believe me, I became a fan over night.
MotoBla is bulls*it as compared to pure ICS stockness...
if only we could port it..
How did you end up with this phone? What made you choose it? What makes you keep it? Post your story.
I have the Razr Maxx on Verizon Wiress (CDMA). Things I dislike about this phone...
1. The camera, it's no slouch but I got use to the camera on my previous GS2. That has better lense/camera.
2. Slight lag here and there, again I came from a GS2 that used Exynos processor.
3. No HD display BUT I am a big fan of Super Amoled. I just love how the colors pop.
4. Locked boot loaders!! (My Samsung GS2 was so easy to root and flash things on.)
There was even some points I thought of selling my Maxx and getting a GS3. I loved the GS2 but main problem was it had a really horrible wireless radio plus being on Sprint network did not help. I had no intentions in getting a Razr when I walked into the Verizon store. I already liked Samsung, I just needed better service. Had my mind on the Galaxy Nexus. But I loved the build of the slim RAZR. Tried it for a week or so, Ioved it. Got signal in areas I never did with other phones being on other networks. Battery was a big problem, like most Android phones, I said eff it and got the Maxx.
The radio and battery life make up for all the things I dislike about this phone. I just got a case from Seidio and that gives me the new phone feel again lol. I gave up things getting this phone but I've also gained things so it balances out

Had rezound. Battery was terrible. Got talked out of getting a new phone (within 14 days) and instead got the extended battery. Still awful battery, and other problems. Got replacement rezound. That was even worse. Finally they let me exchange, and I got the maxx because I wanted the battery.

Former fascinate and Charge owner. Upgrade became available before the unlimited ban when upgrading. Got the maxx after checking all phones in the Verizon store and it being the most polished feeling.
Happy ever since. Screen and audio playback are not the best but everything else kicks ass.
Can't imagine having a lesser phone and there is no desire to deviate from stock.

The main criteria to buy a phone, is it has to be able to works as a phone. Period. Previously, I have RAZR V3xx, before changed to other Nokia phones and the Nexus One. V3xx was a very good phone which did a very good job as a phone; makes and receives calls. It also a very good HSDPA 3G "modem", USB tethered to laptop. Now I have RAZR XT910... and it just as good as the V3xx. I don't care how many cores, benchmark's scores or frames speed, but, if it cannot functioning as a proper phone, than it is worthless to me.
Thank you.

I have a galaxy s3 also but I'm finding that I keep going to the razr when I NEED my phone to just Work....like when I'm at work.
I go back to the gs3 because the screen is STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL. The razr just works better all the time.

I just came from a Thunderbolt to a RAZR. You may have even seen me in the forums there if you viewed them... I was very active. Needless to say, it's worth it to try a RAZR. Compared to how the Thunderbolt was made, this phone physically feels cheap in your hand... but it's no competition to the Bolt.
I'd try it out if I were you. With you also being a Thunderbolt user, especially after who knows how long, I'm sure you'll have a pleasant experience.

If you don't play heavy games, the RAZR MAXX will do very well. If you like to play too though, better pick the Razr Maxx HD because the chip is newer. Not that the RAZR Maxx can't handle, but it show it's age like when playing the Iron Man 3 for example.

Definitely a great upgrade from a TBolt. It's still a top phone going over a year and a half now. Dual core 1.2 and a decent screen. They only thing I would want upgraded (still content with) is the screen. It could be more HD. The battery is ok being has I have an OG Razr. I definitely recommend the MAXX if it is in your budget.

Well i'd rather go for a Nexus 4 or a Maxx HD.
I, too, had a Thunderbolt since the day it was released, but inherited my wife's XT912 a couple of months ago, after she upgraded to a Note 2. Since HTC released ICS for the TB, I've been occasionally switching back to the old' "Bolt" every now and then, and its still really quite useful. I would get a RAZR Max HD, if you can afford it, as I am underwhelmed by the poor camera on my Razr Maxx.
