I am up for upgrade and i keep bouncing back and forth from razr to rezound. Which one will be better future proof and better over all. I do want root, but just for tb and tether. Opinions? Thanks

Let me dive a little further on what i like and dislike about each phone. I hate the red soft keys. I dont like a non removable battery, unless it has good battery life. I want it to be fast, and i think the rezound may be a touch faster. I want a decent camera, not pro quality tho. I will switch launchers to go ex so its ok with any skin. I do want to be able to turn just my data off. I like that. Can the data on the razr be turned off while still being able to make a call? Can the red soft keys be made white on the rezound?

I don't know what to buy, I'm still caught up in the mix between Sensation XE, Galaxy Nexus and RAZR. But in my opinion, if you live in the US, Rezound is definitely the best choice, if an international version was announced my mind will be sat on it without any hesitation, it would relive me from knowing the winner of that triple-threat match cause it easily knocks all of them most specs wise (GN got no SD card smfh) and support-wise.
Of course, that is unless you care about the design a lot .. cause Rezound ain't good-looking as the Razr, not even close.
Its those damn soft keys being red that makes me not want it. I personally do not like that. Seems feminine to me. If they were white, i would prolly go with that. Im on vzw in the usa. Any reports on battery life yet on razr? Sometimes i need long life on battery while away from charger. Mainly when i got hunting. Otherwise, i always have a charger. One at home work and in truck.

if the battery is non removable then what will happen in 3-4 years? batteries have not got unlimited life.. so if a battery dies i can throw away my phone, sigh...

Wow, you don't think much do you? I really hope your post is suppose to be sarcastic.
Rezound is just another Quallcomm S3 spu equipped device like the evo3d but it is clocked at 1.5ghz. The 300mhz speed bump doesn't help it to be faster than a TI OMAP4430 soc since omap4 is has real dualcore cortex a9 architecture unlike the Rezound offering a A8 based enchanced "a9" cpu. I would choose the Razr day and night against the rezound and i am sure many will do the same. Since OMAP4 the referance SOC for the ICS, there shouldn't be any questions. Painting the phones back cover and earpiece grill, overclocking the same cpu doesn't help. Htc should learn that.
Well the Sensation isn't exactly well known for good battery life, and my Desire HD was dreadful. So until they prove they can sort that problem out, I have no interest in any HTC handset.

well, battery can be unscrewed and replaced, i'm sure
i don't know but I seriously doubt HTC Rezound has anything except the (super) high resolution.
But can the phone specs manage that? A lesson learned from the HTC Desire HD...never ever trust Android + HTC + Super High display Resolution...
You will be kicking yourself later..

Yeah, little details like that would be good to know. Turning off 3G whilst abroad is a real pain to do on my wifes moto phone, hopefully they've simplified that on the new raze
he is right, galaxy nexus has not got sd card slot... and there is not going to be a 32gb version... at least clove said don't wait that (even sgs2 has no 32gb...)
The Galaxy Nexus does NOT have an SD card slot. 16gb and 32gb versions have been discussed but who sees the 32gb version, and when, it still a bit vague.
Im due an upgrade in 3 weeks and based on the non-expandable Nexus, and the lack of the Rezound in the UK, im now looking at the RAZR or the Sensation XE .....
Facts are spoken though, Galaxy Nexus does not have an SD card, which ruined the whole thing for me. It's a great phone tbh, but SD cards are a must regardless of the phone's internal capacity.

I'm in the same boat, the RAZR is the better device but the dev support (And HTC's reliable updates) of the Sensation (XE or no XE) is getting me confused. I'm leaning towards the RAZR but I don't believe it'll last as long as the Sensation will, software wise. If you made a decision lemme know.
Sensation XE has a girlish design...

Sensation XE has a pretty stylish design with the red (read: red, it isn't pink-ish red, it's #FF0000, I saw it live [I was suspicious too] but it's great) and it's well-rounded, fair-sized and it goes with the headphone perfectly. The red color though might not really fit business, but in my case, the modern design and red color it's pretty fantastic for me. It isn't more girly than the RAZR with it's thin casing and Motorola logo.

dont mind the design of the sensation XE to be honest. a mate has the standard sensation and i must say i was very impressed with the screen ....
i also like sense (for occasional use)
but .... recent HTCs have had awful battery life, and i like the sturdier build of the razr ....
3 weeks to go and i will change my mind at least a dozen more times

umm.. as with the iphone, the battery may not be a simple "slide off back cover, remove battery"... but you can replace the battery. it's just more a matter of completely opening up the phone(as you would to say replace the screen).
I've replaced iphone batteries many times for friends/work. you do it once, then its no big deal. just with the iphone/razr setup, its obvious there will be no extended battery at all.
on a side note, the razr is mainly about looks. not to say it isn't a good phone or anything... it does have nice specs and will most likely last you some time. as far as 'razr vs rezound' goes though, the rezound isn't quite as sexy, but it is a more powerful phone with more features.
basically, if you want the best, get the rezound.. if you want something stylish/sexy, get the razr.
To be honest Im not too bothered about battery as my Desire barely lasts a day so I am used to charging from a PC at work and also in my car...
plus all these external battery packs (such as the one being advertised by Duracell) seem like a suitable problem solver.

Hi folks,
How are you getting on with your S2, still happy, any buyers remorse?
Is the camera pink spot still an issue?
I'm contemplating buying the S2 or possibly the HTC Sensation, but I'm leaning slightly more towards the Samsung at the moment. I've had a HTC Desire which was great but I've just returned my 3rd HTC Incredible S due to poor phone signal issues. I do very much like the Sense interface and that's making my decision a little difficult.
Love my sgs 2. So yea still very pleased and prob will for a long time.

Battery life compared to the iPhone? How long does your battery last now?
With my previous Android phones I'd get a days usage, I had JuiceDefender installed though.
No remorse at all. Had mine over a week now. Don't notice this much talked about pink spot? Battery life is about the same as my previous 5 android devices! Samsung do an official larger battery which is nice if you need it. Can't wait for Ice Cream Sandwich with touchwiz!
Always loved htc sense but this touchwiz lark is pretty good. Just wish it had 2 things, alphabetical app draw and setting for default homescreen.

LOL you clearly haven't read up properly on this forum, battery life is brilliant if you know what to do.
Best phone ever, worth the money for sure
Yup, it's been several months and I love this phone! (Unlike many other phones I've owned in the past) Go ahead and buy it - we're sure you won't have any regrets.
you can have my one....selling it to get the iphone 4s best damn phone ever man..galaxy s2 horrible yuk
I suggest you absolutely do not get a Sensation. Mine went back to the repair centre 3 times with dust under the screen. The build feels hefty but the actual hardware - from the screen to the camera to the cellular transmitter to the loudspeaker - is inferior. The only thing with the S2 is that it doesn't feel as substantial in the hand; though the S2 form factor certainly makes it easier to text on in my opinion. I have also ordered an iPhone 4S. Three in fact. Have you SEEN how much these things go for on eBay when they sell out?

It's a shame that HTC seem to be losing their way a little as far as quality is concerned, the Antenna issue that I had on my Incredible S appears to affect the Sensation too.

They don't seem to have much concern for product longevity and they take too many design punts which evidently have potentially catastrophic repercussions. They also release FAR too many devices per year. It completely cheapens the brand. No one makes the consumer feel more confident in their purchase than Apple. You KNOW you will get great product support and you KNOW your phone wont be out of date and forgotten about in six months. At least Samsung tend to stick to a flagship phone for about a year. I just don't know why HTC can't make a decent phone with great tech and stick with it. It's like they're constantly on the run rather than constantly trying to improve.

if mine broke and i could choose any phone out there to replace it i would go for the sgs2 all over again and thats 4-5 months of ownership
battery life is excellent for a smartphone with these features , hardware is pretty future proofed for a while (1gb ram / high end cpu/gpu / great screen / etc etc) software is stable / dev support is excellent / apps and game support is pretty decent /
yep defo love my sgs2
I love my galaxy s2 more now than I did when I first got it, recent updates mean the android os bug has gone and the yellow tint has disappeared. I'm getting just as much bettery life as I did with my iphone 4.

Sorry I disagree with the sensation being inferior, I sold my SG2, it was ok, quick, but I didn't like the screen, I prefer the qhd on the sensation and its just as fast, you won't notice much difference when using them any way and it does feel much better in the hand. But there has been issues with dust under the screen on a lot of the devices.
In the end its down to personal choice

Can't agree there, i had an EVO 4G before, and i had to leave it just to get a dual-core phone (and the super amoled+ is certainly a +) so here i am, but the quality of the evo was great, first 4G, among the first 4.3 inch, kickstand, amazing gps, only drawback as with most androids was the battery and solved with a 2000 mah battery, i sold it after more than a year with no problems at all.
Hey guys sup!!!
Anyway, Tmo US is bringing in the HTC One S. Wondering what you guys think about it. Is it worth to switch, or just keep the amaze? I went form htc sensation to htc amaze in 1 month, now i'm not sure if i should do the same and switch to htc one s.....
if it were the htc one x with quad proc then should be a no brainer, but TMO US the way they are argghh, just don't get why they didn't get the htc one x instead....
any thoughts??? Also, I believe the galaxy note is now workable in TMO US, as someone here got it to work with a different radio....
I wouldn't, if people think battery life on the amaze sucks, it'll probably be worse on the one s because it has a smaller capacity battery, as for me the upgrades are very nice but not quite worth it to switch from the amaze. I don't like how OEMS are starting to remove the search button, its something i use all the time.
the fact that it has a non removable battery and no expandable memory are the killers for me. hell, i dont like the fact the amaze has an internal sd, but its tolerable
I agree, too soon to switch. Dev. is picking up and once the release of 'you know what' comes out it'll be a free for all. Nobody is working on 2.3 anymore, its the calm before the storm. I see lots of good things on the next couple of months for the amaze
If you don't care about not being able to pull your battery or increase your sdcard storage then upgrade.
Not being able to install a bigger sdcard and not being able to pull the battery are deal breakers for me. 16gb of storage is not enough for me. I'm already past 16gb on my 32gig. Not being able to pull the battery also means you won't be able to replace it with a better extended life one. We all know stock android batteries suck ass.
In my opinion, the one s is not much better than the amaze. Besides sense 4.0 it gots nothing else on the amaze and almost nothing at all when the amaze receives the official ics update.

One series has a kill switch instead of a removable battery (so u can mimick a batt pull, but can't replace a shot battery ) and the no removable/expandable memory is a DEFINITE buzzkill... But it does come with internal storage and that Dropbox hack built in for an extra 23 GB
Either way, I think its ugly and I love my amaze... I'll wait

I remember when I got my hero, I upgraded from a touch diamond, and I was blown away at the screen. That's what an upgrade should feel like, I look at my old one and then the new one, and you can definitely tell that there's an improvement. With today's phones, unless you're buying something that's got a 3D projection on it or something beamed straight to your brain, I think trying to top what we've already got is going to be pretty damn hard. 1080P? I can't notice much of a difference.

I think you would notice it on a 4.7 inch screen. Hell, my mytouch has a 3.8 in hdpi screen and I can tell a difference between that phone and my amaze. Maybe you need glasses?
The One S is a lot faster than the amaze.. supposedly ~60% increase clock for clock based on the new "s4" snapdragon. But that probably isn't enough of a reason to jump ship unless you have a lot of money you want to burn. The screen is also kind of weak on the One S. Hopefully tmobile gets a version of the X.
It has ics and suppose to be faster but can't upgrade the battery or memory i would pass

I said much of a difference. The current screens are very good nowadays anyway, the differences are miniscule. And I already wear glasses
btw, samsung can kiss my ass!
1080p on a 4.7 screen would be so pointless.. it would also be laggy, much more than 720p. even wvga looks decent on the titan, qhd look good, 720p looks amazing, thats a waste of tech/money lol. just my 2 cents.. most people that have normal human eyes don't notice a difference between 720/1080 unless the screen is around, or above 50"
samsung hasnt released a superamoled plus screen with anything above wvga as of now anyways, i dont see why or how they would jump to 1080p. unless they have been working on something for a quite a while
I don't get why some of you like to drop so much cash on new phones that do the same thing. Talk about wasting money.
From what I've read on the engadget review, the amaze has a better camera for stills. Plus once ics hops along we should be getting better battery life and performance.

I agree, I had to wait for a tax refund to buy my amaze, had the G2 for a year before getting the amaze and that was only because it was free with a new account. I'll stick with it for awhile now, I love tech but I don't find a need or have the cash to upgrade every 6 months when some l "cutting edge" device comes out.
Once some "other" things happen for amaze it'll be even more of a beast.

Are the majority of the owners of the rezound happy, and if you had to do it again, would you purchase the same phone? Looking at getting the rezound
Thanks
Yes I would this phone is the best when it comes to gaming but the battery life suck, unless you have the extended battery which is 50% off. But just to sum it up yes, yes I would.
Best phone for Verizon hands down. Only thing close to being at par with the Rezound is the Nexus and that's just software. Hardware wise, not even close.

I would buy again in a heartbeat. It's been nothing but good for 3 + months.
same for me. I pretty much have always stuck with HTC devices
Hello,
Yes I am VERY happy and would do it again! Plus I got mine while it was on sale for $49.99 online
Seriously though Im very happy with the screen and camera which were things I really look for in a phone. My previous android was the droid X, I honestly didnt think it was bad (I was on a rom) but I HATED!!!! the camera.
If you get it you will be happy.
Yes, I would
I went from Incredible to Incredible2, then Rezound.
I like the hand feel of the Rezound best. Easy to locate
in pockets, easy to use, and soon likely to have Ice Cream
Sandwich, making it about perfect.
YES, I would buy it again best phone i ever owned
Perhaps, it certainly is a good device, I just feel it is a poor fit for me. I'm actually looking for a trade for the GNexus right now.
Extremely happy with the phone, would choose it over any other on the market atm. Signal is strong where all other phones fail where I live... Really I just hate the carrier, Verizon themselves lol.
I love this phone. When I purchased it, I was contemplating the G Nexus, Moto Razr and this one. The processor specs were the same for the most part, but what stood apart was either ICS on the Nexus, but no removable memory, or no ICS goodies for the Rezound, but removable memory. Of course with any good Android device the developer following was gonna be good so I went with the rezound. Haven't regretted it yet. Also I came from the Droid X as well and before that the OG Droid all had custom Roms and Kernels as will any Android phone purchased in my future.
I also love it! It took three replacements but I finally have one that plays nice with me xP

No question. IMHO it is STILL the best phone VZW offers at the moment.
Only downside is the screen scratches easily. Get a protector. Runs a little hot too.
I researched the galaxy nexus, razor, and rezound for a month straight. I picked the rezound and I'm very proud of my decision. Best part is the screen. Not only is it extremely clear, but it scrolls smoother than any other android phone I've seen. Just don't play any games with high graphics and your phone will last you a whole day!

I did very much the same. My two choices were either the HTC Rezound or Galaxy Nexus. I researched and went in to Verizon to play with both phones. Sure, the Nexus has a slightly larger screen, but the phone was held together by duct tape in the store. It just felt flimsy to me. The Rezound, on the other hand... ahhhh... I knew she was going to be mine the moment she touched my hand...
I would choose Rezound over and over again. I have never loved a phone so much. LOL
Yes
Agreed with most here, it is my favorite on V right now for these reasons:
Best Screen - 720p, not pen-tile and best pixel density of any phone, on any carrier...
SD card support - gnex and other ICS phones are dropping this feature for some reason
Dimensions - smaller screen dimensions than other top-end devices (yes, that is a plus for me... if I wanted a tablet to hold to my ear I'd buy one, lol)
Headphones - they don't suck (not something you normally say about any bundled 'phones)
Powerful - the dual core 1.5Ghz keeps things on par with gnex and any other contemporary
Out of each of those, the screen is hands-down the biggest asset. It is a amazing. Great to watch movies on when traveling. I can't say enough about the pixel density. From the endgaget review (silly link restriction): "And not only does the Rezound beat the iPhone's display soundly, it does so with a larger screen size. Rivals such as the Vivid and Droid RAZR are left in the dust."
The only downers from my perspective are it's not as thin as some (like the gnex) even though it is smaller screen it is heavier than some too. (only slightly) The positives above more than outweigh these though.
The ICS update was solid, but the rom scene showed (especially BAMF 2.1 version) how awesome batt life can be on it. Simply amazing.
You know, it would still be a tough choice between the Rezound and the Galaxy Nexus again (mainly because I dislike manufacturer skins).
But when it comes down to it, I probably would buy the Rezound again. It's a great all-around phone and gets much better battery life than I expected it would. Also, the iBeats were a nice inclusion.
There is no other phone but the Rezound. I haven't even looked at the One. I imagine at some point there will be another phone that draws my eye, but I am really surprised by the fact that no other super-phones have really been announced.
Love this phone.

Loved my first Rezound, until it started overheating 131F. Verizon replaced it.
Loved my second Rezound, until first YouTube stopped working completely then the internet stopped working intermittently. It only worked when it wanted to.
My 3rd Rezound was defective right out of the box. Would not read a SIM card at all.
Strike 3,... and now I have a Razr Maxx. I miss the true 720p display the Rezound had,...but that's it. The Razr Maxx other than the less than perfect display has run flawless in all areas.... Except one.....
..... I think the Rezounds Adreno 220 is a faster smother GPU than the Razr's PowerVR SGX540 GPU, in most games. I've only found one game where the Razr way our performs the Rezound and thats Modern Combat 3, which is almost like playing a PC game its so smooth. On my Rezound it was laggy.
Oh well I'm enjoying the Razr but I still feel a little torn because I've been an HTC fan for years.
The battery is the only thing I'd want.
buy an extra battery for 25 and problem solved
HTC cameras still beat the rest. Samsung is decent, and Motorola has been the worst for quite some time. It's a shame really, since Moto is the only one still trying to keep a good hardware keyboard phone in their lineup. I hope they get that sorted out with some decent sensors in the next generation.
Great enjoy your Maxx. I'm jealous of that battery though.

i tinkered with one of those razr's before. i don't know how you can tolerate the screen... the weird fuzziness around text/icons really bothered my eyes.
just looking at that screen makes me want to punch a baby, especially after using the rezound.
I have rezound and razr. And I still prefer the rezound. Because the diaplay, sense, camera and fast /smoth UI
The only thing in rezoind its because it is soo heavy

Well, people do s-off and think they bricked their phone. I say "Wasn't it a brick before?"
I really wanted to droid 4 to be nice, because I love a hardware keyboard, but it is just dreadful. I can't wait for Verizon to pick up some more Windows phones. I love WP7. That's the only thing I'm jealous of at$t users.

Yep, the motorola Amoled screens with pentile suck!!!
yeah, crappy screen and its wider than a thunderbolt. Its uncomfortable to hold. Do like the stock battery in that sucker though.
It's not even a stock battery though, it's just a Razr with an extended battery since they can't change batteries, which i think is pretty ****ed up for old razr users

I agree. WP7 is really nice. Can't wait for more selection on Verizon too.
I think this year there won't be any big big changes in phones, mostly 720p, dual core, and 1080p camera will become a very standard feature... Hmmm what's next, quad core, ahhh I really don't see the hype for it, give me dual core at over 2ghz and **** load of ram, and maybe a graphics card !!!!!

You get no argument out of me.
The Rezound has a far superior display and GPU.
But now that the honeymoon is over as far as functionality is concerned the Razr works better. Swype is way more advanced than HTC's.. I'm using it all the time now.... Even right now.
As soon as they make a new HTC that's thin and light weight with a stock 3300 mAh battery with Gorilla Glass. That doesn't have the problems. I'm back on board.
Had a long conversation with HTC yesterday and they are currently working on a patch for the Internet connectivity problems on the Rezound. Verizon tech support told me they have had several come back worth this very issue. HTC is hoping ICS will help.
I love HTC phones I just had a bad experience with my Rezounds.
I hope all of you have an awesome day.
Connectivity issues????? My Rezound has the strongest signal along with the latest radios and fastest LTE out of all Verizon phones I have owned. I have had them all.

My mom has a razr. She uses the car dock when driving.
The car dock icons are burned into the screen.
I lol at her crappy phone....

My Son bought a razor maxx this morning, he wanted the big battery and doesn't really care what the screen looks like.
I was playing with and kinda liking it until I brought up a high def video that we both have on our cards. OMG, that videos looks stunningly bad on the razor and looks like a high def tv on my Rezound .............
The two phones I would be envious of right now is the HTC One X and Galaxy S3.
I recently held the One X demo/fake unit in my hand and it was nice. I liked how thin the bezel was all around. It was almost all screen. But it doesn't have a removable battery and I doubt with my heavy usage habits it would last me all day.
With the Galaxy S3, it has a 2100mAh battery which is impressive, but a comparison showed that it is similar in size to the Galaxy Nexus, which was too wide for my hands.
The Rezound still has a very nice screen, and a fast dual core that will still be fast enough for a while. Now that I have the extended battery, my phone easily lasts all day even with my heavy use.
So I'm not itching to get a new phone yet. I wonder what the next wave of phones will be like. Then I'll have phone envy.

Im sure by the end of summer most of us will be drooling over some aspect of the new wave of phones.
I agree. The new phones are nice, but the rezound is still better. People think it is an old phone. It may have been out for a while, but it still has specs that beat 99% of the other phones on the market.
Huge envy over the One X. I will be grabbing a variant of it when it hits Verizon.

I won't claim to know someone super in-the-know, but the person I do know has said that Verizon won't be getting a One variant beyond the Incredible 4G, which isn't really a One series phone. I'm hoping she's wrong, but I'll probably be going with a GS3 anyway. 2gb of RAM? Yes please!

I am interested on the GSIII if it has better radios than the galaxy nexus. If it does I will own that phone.

F*ck that! I will never buy a sammy GS3. It is too damn ugly. And touchwiz looks HORRIBLE. So ugly OS & Hardware? No thanks!

You of all people should know the OS can be changed!
Hardware, not so much. Not sure why Samsung decided to beat it with an ugly stick.

Not me. If I were buying a phone today (and it were available on Verizon), I'd take the One X over the Rezound... but, thats only because it IS a better phone... To say that I'm envious of it though would be a lie, because the fact is that I am still extremely happy with the Rezound and feel that it hasn't even the chance to show us its full potential yet.
Not envious of any. One X is cool but lack of removable battery blows me. I burn down two extended batteries in one day sometimes.

Man, I never knew how nice it is to have an extended battery. Just not having to worry about battery life is a HUGE plus. Even having a thicker phone is worth it. It makes the Rezound look awkward, but it actually feels good to hold.
Between the One X and S3, I think the One X looks better. But if I were to choose one to buy, I would get the S3 just for the bigger battery. Also, the S3 would probably be more root and S-Off friendly.
From the various article I've read, Verizon will not get the One X, but the S3 seems probable.
P.S. How do you go through 2 extended batteries in a day? I thought I was a heavy user with all my game playing and web surfing. I can still make it through the day with just one extended battery.
The only thing Im jealous about that the galaxy has is aosp. As it is getting harder to get aosp working on HTC phones I may consider Samsung for next phone. I love htc I just home the rezound will get it someday

Verizon has said we're not getting any One variants which is a bummer because I wanted the One S to come badly.
That being said, all my phone envy is on the other carriers.

From what I understand the GSIII will house the same LTE chip that the incredible HD and HTC one series that house the S4 chip.

Tbh I'm up at 6 am, phone off the charger and I'm listening to morning Jams. That's like 40 minutes streaming, then I drive to the subway then get on the train for 30,that's more of me streaming music, surfing the Internet, texting, on uno online. Then I get to work and literally use my phone from 9am to 530. Streaming, playing, netflix and texting. And I have my screen on auto or max. Then I'm back on the bus doing the reverse. Get home, back to streaming and more. But sometimes I work overtime.
Long winded but bam. That's me burning through them.
