I have the opportunity for vzw to replace my Fascinate with an X2 or DInc2 and I'm looking for some input. The Fascinate's been good but has a missed call problem that defeats its purpose as a phone and I've got another year til I can upgrade sop whatever I get has to last and be reliable as a phone first then a toy. Any recommendations? Knowing what you know now, would you get the X2 again?

i went from a fascinate to a droid x
now i have a droid x2
fascinate just had to many issues Nav/maps (took forever to lock) was a problem from day one
call quality was issues etc...
Motorola phones are just built better (i travel) maps / phone calls are very high of importance to me
Very Happy with Droid X2
Right now, in the Dinc 2 looks better. But if you want pure raw power, DX2 is your better choice. Once they get custom ROMs on there it'll be the fastest phone on Verizon.
My wife has the Fascinate and my x2 runs circles around it in every way. The screen on the Samsung is beautiful and it has more support at this point but the x2 is where things are going.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
I just did the Fascinate to X2 switch. The X2 is definitely a more powerful and solidly built phone, but I miss the Fascinate dev community.
Root and de-bloat is nice, but until we get custom roms and kernels the X2 will be sorely lacking.
Either one would be an upgrade.
I have an original DROID Incredible rooted running virtuous rom, and it blows the doors off of my X2. The HTC has been a great phone, but when the playing field gets leveled with an X2 rom and the X2 gets overclocked, the X2 should be unbelievably fast and dependable. I love HTC sense, and they make great phones so its a bit of a toss up. I had hoped the X2 would preform better out of the box though, and that's where the Incredible 2 should win out. Good luck.
I went from the Fascinate to the DX2 because of call issues, and I am very pleased with that switch. I know that there is not much in the way of customization and hacks at the moment but it won't be long now. The phone works great and has power to back it up.
X2 has potential to be a great phone, but it's awful out of the box. Actually, it's a terrible experience out of the box. Memory management is crap, which results is power cycles and freezes.
After rooting and running the script, it's better. Not perfect. But because it is the tegra (think xoom and atrix), it's got tons of potential, but nothing solid just yet.
Inc2 already has cm7 headed it's way.
For those of you from the fascinate, hows the batttery life compare? How about reception & call audio? For me, playtime has to take a back seat to the phone. Also does it have gorilla glass?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Yes it does have Gorilla Glass. Call audio is great, seems louder than the fascinate. Reception seems better but does not display the same number of bars that my fascinate did. There are places that I dropped signal all the time with the fascinate but that's no a problem now. Battery life is not as good as it was with the fascinate but that is to be expected given that this phone has a much better processor.
I went from the Fascinate to the X2 and I'm sorry I did.
For me (YMMV) the hard buttons on the bottom vrs the soft touchscreen
ones on the X2 are a real pain. The screen on the X2 is awful, pictures are
blotchy and they distort when I touch the screen at all. I prefer Touchwiz on
the Fascinate over Blur on the X2, really dislike the X2's white backgrounds.
So if I had it to do over, I'd wait for the missing call update and stick with
the Fascinate.
BTW I realize these are all cosmetic and the X2 works well, but the overall
enjoyment factor on the Fascinate was better (for me).
battery life on the X2 is very good
fascinate battery life on my fascinate was poor.
Battery life on fascinate was crap. X2 is not an improvement. The Fascinate was a better out of the box experience.
So, would any of you get the x2 again? The one I saw that was the vzw rep's personal phone was very snappy and smooth with screen transitions and camera shots but she said it had GB on it & that new ones were shipping with it. I didn't think to check the build/baseband #'s though.

That's good to know. I've been agonizing over this for 5 days. Finally narrowed it down to the x2 or the charge, but since that's really a dressed up fascinate I had my misgivings about it's reliability. My bottom line is solid "phone/data" performance, everything else is gravy, and the x2 has the best record I've found on that front.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
for me it was even easier. in order to get a charge i would have had to drive 50+ miles..not really worth it since by the time 4g gets up here, there will be better phones out

I believe battery life importance is by far the most important thing in a phone. Can't wait for the day when battery life on these and 4G (since their going to phase 3G out) is fantastic (more then 10 hours heavy use). Thats just wishful thinking because it'll never happen.
Question for those here, when 3G phones do get phased out and were stuck with 4G and its horrible battery life is everyone just going to go with the flow or anyone stick with the same phone they currently have.

If you want to hear yet another "negative thing" about the Thunderbold, I think it feels rather "clunky" in your hand. Sorta like a small brick.
I had a Thunderbolt and came to the x2. It's a great phone, development is awesome, ie it has cm7 and a slew of sense based roms. Battery life is easily manageable. I'd go back if i could.

Go for the Bolt, especially if you're into custom roms. We only have 2 roms...which aren't really custom roms, they're just tweaked stock roms. Nothing like CM7 or MIUI.
Once the Bionic comes out, a good handful of people will get it. I doubt a lot of devs will be looking at it (locked loader, sick of waiting for it). The Bionic, the Vigor, and the rumored soon released Nexus Prime are going to push us to the back of the room. I plan on trying to sell my x2 once the Prime or Vigor comes out, actually I regret getting it since the Prime and Vigor are coming out so soon
My wife's Incredible is in the process of dying & I found out that I have the last of my yearly upgrades on my line & she's always wanted the x2, sooooo: What should I get, Razr, Rezound or GNex?

Can you root a stock Samsung phone now without having to deal with that "Rage against the Cage" nonsense? Tried it once on my wife's Facinate and my anti-virus program wouldn't let Rage run, even when I disabled it. (I know there are ROM's with pre-rooted Kernels you can flash. Just flashed rooted GB 2.3.5 kernel to my Galaxy Tab.)

Rage in the cage new? Never had to use it. First root ever was a one click root i found somewhere. Then i used Odin to flash the stock froyo pre-root. I believe i seen a pre-root GB stock over there, too.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
I believe "Rage against the Cage" is the exploit scheme that they used on the Samsung one-click boot process. It's been about 6 months since I've tried to root the Facinate, so my memory is sketcy. The upside is that, as you mentioned, there are probably a lot of pre-rooted ROM offerings that can be easily flashed with Heimdall (or Odin, if yer into that).
I agree Sammy makes a good phone. Wife loves her Facinate. Sadly, the Galaxy II never made it to Verizon, but now lots of folks are waiting for the Nexus, which should be out around the end of the month. But I also like the Moto Droid line, now that we've been given some developer attention. The hardware is top notch, and my X2 is running VERY snappy and stable on Moto-Ginger-Funk v7a. I have no reason to want to trade up for a long while yet (unless Google cannot get a handle on their funky Market issue).
Droid Razr looks very sharp (sorry for the pun). I'm a little afraid of the non-removeable battery, though. There are loads of times that I have recoved my X2 from brink of "brickhood" just by pulling the battery and booting into recovery.
I'm not too crazy about the Razr's non-detachable battery. All too often taking the battery out and putting it back in seems to solve a problem, without having that ability on the Razr I'm somewhat concerned.
Odin=Heimdall but for diff operating systems, i believe. When my contract is up, I'm looking into sprint if vzw isn't allowed to launch the SGSII. And no, i have no intentions of turning this thread into a "who it's better sprint or vzw". Carry on w/ upgrade discussion...

I'm pretty sure that the razr has a failsafe two buttons u.press to kill battery connection or something similar

I am upgrading to the ReZound Monday. There are more reasons not to get the Razr, than there are to get it lol. If you are in an X2 now, you are better off either keeping it and riding out your time, or getting the ReZound/Nexus, at least right now.

What led you to the Rezound? Beats audio or the the display?
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Well, the headphones alone carry a very hefty price, so getting them "free" for the same price as the other phones is a good incentive(probably why they aren't advertising the phone). I already have the SkullCandy Titan Earbuds, so I really don't NEED the Beats Audio ones. But, the camera's on it are both better. The screen resolution is on par with the nexus on a DX2 size screen. Removable battery, SD storage, unlockable BL, 1.5GHz processor.. Basically, the only "feature" it doesn't carry is the super slim design, and who gives a **** if the phone is lacking in so many other categories? lol.
My moms Stock Inc2 walked all over my X2 with Eclipse before I even put CM7 on it for her! HTC is doing all the right things, even with Sense. Too many people complain about Samsung, and I lived in Korea for 2 years from 07-09, we are getting their leftovers over here(Thanks FCC/FTC, and assholes running patent wars..Apple).
Yeah Im gonna look into adding a line soon. Not sure if I'm going to resound or nexus yet
Rezound looks sick. As does nexus(ICS!) but I can see resound getting ics eventually.
ha. HTC edge I thought about until I saw it was Tegra. I will wait for reviews on that before even trying it lol. This phone has lowered my expectations for tegra devices lol
Skip skip stutter...it drives me crazy how one day it seems skipping is.fixed but next its stutters again

We did that actually, got the original DX the day they came out. Loved em. I moved from a bb curve and she from a Moto rokr. When the DX gb bugs hit we were offered DX2s and took them since we had the car docks etc. Didn't feel like switching 100 worth of accessories.
AtLemacks right, seems that the Razer with limitations or something without. Hardware is close enough on either one. Why move to another Moto and keep banging your head against the wall like we do daily.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I have prob 5 friends w modded nexuses. The screen is sharper on the nexus but much easier to read in any kind of light from me on the maxx. The battery if amazing. I can avg 5 hrs screen on time on 3g alone. The camera is actually much better than I originally thought and takes nice pictures very easily but no camera is as fast as the nexus...although I have only seen a stock nexus actually work correctly in the camera Dept.
I miss ics as I have had it on many phones since last oct but the ics leak is good for the RAZR. Still great battery life there. I rooted mine and froze a bunch of apps today that I don't use but I get the same battery life whether I freeze them or not.
One mild complaint that you may have is the RAZR gallery has a terrible pinch zoom bug. I use quickpic for my gallery and froze the stock gallery along w a lot of other stuff.
In the end its a phone. Calls are clear. Reception is great. And it really last all day. No rebooting all the time. No errors. No problems here. I like that.

Having never owned a Nexus I cannot compare the two but can offer my opinions of the MAXX as it compares to many Android phones from my past. The battery is simply amazing, best I could have ever hoped for. I can abuse my phone (granted that term is subjective) throughout the day and still have some juice left when I go to bed at night. My dad only uses his for calls and his lasts 3-4 days consistantly.
The screen is OK. IMO it is far inferior to the GSII that I came from. If you look close enough you can see a slight screen door effect that looks rather grainy. Not as bad as my Photon was, but still not as good of a screen as I have seen in other phones.
Motorola phones are not known for having a big dev community. I saw a lot more dev activity when I had an EVO 4G, EVO 3D and GSII. That may be the deal breaker for you if you are looking for much more than an out of the box experience.
Having said all of that, if you want an extremely solid phone, then the MAXX can deliver that. My experience in reception is much better than anything I ever owned on Sprint or Verizon and I live in an area with great coverage.
Good luck with whatever you choose.

I would love a gsm maxx razr, now it's only 4 USA and I'm out of the borders.
I like razr, gotcha XT910 in december. Bought it because its amazing hardware , but I can't say I'm happy stuck in 2.3.5 GB due locked bl. Others devices in same categorie like SGII, Arc S,, and HTC now are running ICS flawless. To us, we can.only hope get hands on ICS by Q2,, at least.
Also, this is my second razr, and tomorrow I'll leave it to motorola service center again. I've a reason to be disapointed.
Have top phones since 90's and this is far away my best phone ever. Moved to android (came from 'siri' phone) because it's very popular in Brazil, and overall razr design. But you need luck to get a razr with no problem at all, at least, those made here, all LatAm, have to say. I dont see guys from XT912 (you have one right?) complain' about it.
May be too late indeed to motorola unlock bl, SGSIII is on the way with a 1.8 Quade core....

Although the ICS leaks and ROMs are really good. They are not flawless. And won't be until the official release. Even the devs admit that. They all have bugs, albeit very minor bugs.
The big things for me was the HDMI out and the micro sd card. If you get a maxx then you get the awesome battery. While the dev for the phone is low right now, ICS is just around the corner and with a boot workaround here/being worked on I think the razr is the better phone.
both are great devices. so it depends what you want to do with each.
if mods, hacks, roms, flashing are your thing - Galaxy Nexus
limited tinkering - moto razr.
having said that, razr has better battery life. very lightweight. better camera too. plus storage is expandable.
I had the Nexus before I had my Razr Maxx.... Night and day. Radio was garbage in comparison on the Nexus, always bad reception. Battery life is SO much better. Razr feels much more solid. Aside from ICS, the nexus honestly seemed like a piece of junk when I got this.
Is cm9 available yet? Can you even flash custom roms?

Returned my GNEX after three days wit it, bought the Razr and have never been happier. No problems here.

Wanted someone had did mine. I'm disapointed. It's my second razr and it's going to moto services again. Came with no GPS, scratched...

Cause no Samsung phone has ever had problems. Give this video a break as Adam has no clue about the razr. He doesnt dev for it so he has no reason to talk ****. Just because they built it this way does not make it any less disposable than other phones. If it breaks and its your fault, then guess what, you fed up. If its not your fault you get a replacement or switch.

I offered to trade my thunderbolt for a droid razr and they offered it plus cash. Should I take it? I don't like moto much but just curious if anyone else thought it was a good deal.

I suppose I'm just a fan of HTC phones, but I would stick to the Thunderbolt.
Your phone works perfectly and you know how to use it correctly. The Razr would be another whole thing to get used to and you take a chance on that phone having its issues.
I'm probably way out there on my concept, and I'd also hate to see you leave the Thunderbolt community. We've lost a lot of people already, and as active as you are here, it would be much lonely here.
Besides that, I just personally think the Thunderbolt is a better phone... but that's just my opinion of it.

I like my thunderbolt just fine I was just thinking of the moto razr as a slight upgrade. I'm mo stranger to Motorola all. My wife had the og droid and a droid 3 (both of which were huge piles of crap) and rooted them both. I'm just worried ill get that razr and it will be a huge steaming pile like my wife's droids. Thanks, you helped me decide against it.

Good. I tried. Haha.
I've mostly always heard bad reviews about moto phones.

The displays in them after the og droid look like crap. You can actually see the digitizer on it which is annoying to me. Plus blur sucks really bad IMO. I think blur just looks terrible. Hardware wise the phone is better but I think the display and blur are enough for me to not want it.

I know this is a few days old, but another vote for keeping the Thunderbolt. I checked out the RAZR and RAZR MAXX in the store, and absolutely hated the display and overly large bezel, as well as the odd hard edges of the phone. While the Thunderbolt is older and has lower specs, I still prefer it. Heck, I missed it after using a GS3 for a couple days.
Yea I'm not getting it. I really hate moto phones.
