Hey people!!
Just wanted to know if I can be lucky and run this baby in India on a GSM network?
If so, how and what do I need?
Someone is coming from USA...but what about the contract with Verizon??
And performance wise which is better X1, X2 RAZR or Bionic??
Thanx!
You can't run this phone on a GSM network, it is a CDMA phone.
Contracts from foreign countries are something you need not worry about.
I suggest the Droid 2 Global for use on a GSM network. My dad has one and it's great.
I think the only one of those that is a "world phone" is the Droid RAZR. All the others are CDMA (and LTE in the case of the Bionic which does take a SIM card but only for LTE). Droid RAZR seems to be GSM compatible, and has the same specs as the Bionic, as well as an improved screen.

RAZR is a good option...but my question is how do I run it here as it will be Verzion locked?
Also, if i unlock it, will I get official updates to next Android OS?

Call up Verizon and say you'll be out of the country and need it unlocked. And unlocked wont do anything to updates, if you root it probably will though

and wont they charge me for it and also why would Verizon just give me one like that? Some under the table negotiations?
Also, performance wise, which is better?

I don't think there's fees, just one of the perks of having a world phone, and I would say either bionic or raze, x2 only has half the ram.
Or why not an attic, basically same as bionic but gsm

He's right. Go with an already GSM phone if you're going to use on GSM. Motorola Atrix is Tegra 2 like Droid X2 but with more RAM, and Atrix 2 is TI OMAP4 like D3, Bionic, and RAZR, and has an improved screen over DX2, D3, and Bionic.

I lol'd. Srsly I don't think the RAZR Is even globabl capable, if you want a strong phone that's global I'd say Atrix or D3. Bionic and Razr prety much the same, 200 mhz difference which I'm sure is a result of the Bionic being underclocked. Im sure that'll be fixed soon since the source code has been released. Razr does have super amoled but it also is pentile, same w/ the Nexus Prime. Built in Battery in the Razr for me no bueno, and no SD card on the Nexus = da fuq.
They announced there will be European and possibly Asian versions, but it could be like what they did for the Droid 1, made 2 different phones that looked the same with different antenna's, Droid and Milestone. Either way, launch is what 2-3 weeks away, lol.

Carriers in India aren't that strong a player...but I will keep a check...also, the Droid X2 is cool, but CDMA...anyway to get that working outside the current network...? I mean it will be Verizon, but here it will be Reliance...so anyway to get that working here..?
I would say, tell your friend to call Verizon and ask to have it unlocked. Once he/she gets to India they will have to give the MEID/ESN numbers to Reliance. Then, will probably have to open new service with them and get a new number. Verizon uses a specific spectrum range for CDMA, thus why the phone doesn't work on Sprint's CDMA network. The phone may, or may not be compatible with Reliance CDMA, but I could be wrong.

thanx! That helped me make my decision...Droid RAZR or Bionic. Mostly it will be RAZR.
In India, CDMA isn't as strong as GSM. Anyways...thanx everyone who replied. Every answer waw helpful. Just a question, more to myself than to U guys, why would Motorola make such a cool device wig CDMA technology and not GSM?
Anyways...
Verizon outweighs all GSM competitors in the US. They know the users typically who want the most bang for their buck android device want it on Verizon before with 3G CDMA and now 4G LTE and CDMA. Our GSM providers are horrible.

Even though I feel the Razr is a superior phone I dont think there will ever be a dev scene even like for the Bionic. If there isnt one yet there most likely wont be unfortunately. The Razr was over shadowed by the release of the GN and with a locked bootloader why invest your time into it? The dev's have pretty much gone from the bionic too. The only reason it was getting some love was because of timing and the GN wasn't out yet.
I think the GSM version might get a little bit due to its bootloader being unlocked but even now there doesn't seem much. Shoot compare it to the GN a week after release and it has a dozen or so ROMs already.
Droid is a name registered with Verizon ... notice that all phones named Droid are only on Verizon and no other network ...
As for Dev scene... give it time .... amazon thanksgiving sale helped the Droid RAZR base to grow huge ... and within month time came nexus with icecream sandwich which devs were eager to get hands on.... I think RAZR will get support at least after it receives ics

Correct. US Phones use CDMA radios and other countries use the GSM. I don't think there is a "world" LTE phone yet.
I know I just saw a posting earlier this week about how Europe finally got the HSPA+21 and will get the 42 later. It talked about how they were testing LTE in the UK but were talking about a period of 3-5 years before it even starts to roll out. Maybe when the UK gets LTE they will be compatible.
The US has the best radios even tho we don't always get the best phones.

912 is for CDMA/Verizon/Locked bootloader

But if past releases pattern is true Droid 4 will be a world phone just like droid 3 and 2
Can a gsm /system/app dump be used on the cmda razor to restore the stock /system/app or do you have to have a /system/app dump from a cdma razr?
USA is neither the first nor only country with LTE.
In Fact, the world's first commercial LTE network started in Sweden in December 2009 and now they're already testing the next generation, LTE advanced with speeds up to 954mbit/sec.:

Also in Germany LTE is already available in most major cities and I guess it's also available in some other European countries.

My luck just ran out. I have the normal Razr

I'll just get the conversion kit at a later time
anybody found where to buy this yet? anyone found out the radios its goign to operate in?
Total ****s. I contacted them last month and they said they would not be releasing the Maxx for the UK/europe. I went ahead and bought the normal RAZR.
Is it really GSM version?
yeah does china operate same GSM radios as the rest of the world e.g. australia?
China uses both GSM and CDMA from what I can gather but LTE is in small scale trials apparently.
Someone can tell me if this Razr Maxx GSM (xt912) or Razr GSM (xt910) are True LTE (4G) compatible?

The Droid RAZR MAXX is XT916, not XT912. We don't have a model number for the Chinese release yet. Only the CDMA versions have LTE support thus far.
Given the poor track history of getting functional branded Chinese-market devices on the secondary market/the variety of wireless tech in use there, I highly doubt a GSM RAZR MAXX released in China will be of much use to many users outside of China. Not really something to celebrate just yet.

HI,
My Cousin is going to buy a droid Razr from Craigslist and send it to me here in india
I wanted to Know
1. He is going to buy a Droid Razr Verizon Lte phone will it work in india on GSM.
2. If not then any other Version that i should buy?
3. If yes then would i have to root it and then it would work.
I would really Appreciate if you could help me out.
Check out the frequency bands the Droid RAZR supports. Theoretically, it should work on CDMA networks in India. The LTE bands won't work (obviously) due to the lack of 4G LTE support in India. But Reliance and Tata Indicom CDMA networks should support the phone just fine.
Take Razr XT910 cuz it will support GSM as Droid by verizon is exclusive product for verizon network if u have to take their product then u need to break contract with them so to avoid complecations take XT910

Well, LTE is GSM-based. SO you should be able to. But yeah, the complications are a lot. Just get the XT910 then. Otherwise get it for CDMA, no issues with that. And don't worry about it being exclusive to Verizon, it can be unlocked locally.

Ok, not all the info that I got before was 100% correct. It looks like RAZR / MAXX is unlocked only for Global(GSM) use which is outside of USA. The Tmobile and ATT sims are not fully working as of right now.

As far as I know it's not that easy due to the fact that the GSM modem itself is disabled. Unless your talking about roaming onto the LTE network. Though ATT uses different frequencies.

Thank you I will follow it later on.
this could get interesting
Okay so, here's my predicament..I'm currently using an Atrix 2 with a regular sized SIM card and wanted to test this out on a busted VZW Razr I got from work (there's a huge crack in the screen and it was just collecting dust). If I went into an AT&T store and bought a micro-SIM, would it work?
The only reason I'm confused is because all I know that AT&T uses the micro-SIMs for is the iPad; I don't know if the structure of the SIM card changes to accomodate just data, or if voice will be able to be transmitted as well.
Just wondering but can it be done? afaik the two are identically hardware wise right? I got my mitts on a CDMA razr but gsm signal on it sucks big time and i've been trying to find ways of improving it.
would the bypassed bootloader be able to stop me from doing so? Would I get a hard brick?
The ICS release will make the Razr "global" (GSM+CDMA+LTE).
I'm on the .79 leak, with AOKP and mine is a global phone.

So you're telling me that my gsm Motorola RAZR XT910 will get lte possibility? What bands will this lte be running?

I'm pretty sure the GSM razr doesn't have lte. If it did, it would only work for Verizon (my reasoning being that if the DROID RAZR has GSM, and the normal RAZR has lte, chances are they are built the same way with software tweaks) Of course.), none of this matters if the GSM RAZR doesn't have lte, which of probably doesn't.

The patch. The patch people...get it and get done with it...it CAN happen...I am having one ...Awesome Stock ICS on RaZr...CDMA + patch = AWESOMENESS
AFAIK, there is the Droid Razr, and the Droid Razr Maxx. There is no hardware difference between a GSM or CDMA phone. If you have a Moto schematic diagram showing some other difference, then post it.
The only hardware difference the two devices above, is the Maxx has a bigger battery.
Everything else is software, and that changes with ICS.

Wait for the ICS release and see if it works, or install the .79 leak and see if it works.

What does that have to do with this? You are correct, but it doesn't have anything to do with this topic. We were talking about the difference between the CDMA and GSM RAZR.

I guess I used too many words. Some people can only glean SMS text. I'll try again:
