RAZR is goood...SGS II just feels a little cheap...but its your call...and also, there is a big ho-hum about the unlocked bootloader...if u not into that kind of tweaking, it is the best Android device out there...just make sure the piece is manufactured before 26th October 2011...
all the best!
Samsung has horrible outgoing voice quality so the person you are speaking with will have a very hard time understanding you. RAZR has excellent outgoing voice quality. This may or may not be important to you. this obviously is not important to most people as samsung continues to sell zillions of phones.

Why?
After having a Samsung Charge, I'll never own another Samsung device. Ever! That was the worse phone. Also, I have a Samsung refrigerator and it's horrible too. Based on my Samsung experiences, I'll never own another Samsung device. When I was looking at tablets, everyone kept saying, get the Samsung. It's the greatest. Please. My ASUS Prime blows the Galaxy tablet away!

Razr all the way! The phones are pretty similar, great phones both, but the design and materials feel amazing when you have the razr in your hands.

I'm choosing a Razr Maxx over my current Galaxy Nexus for the simple fact that I get full signal inside of buildings when I'm on base with the Razr. The Nexus struggles to pick up anything.

it will take time yeah but its soon going to get ics update so i can do without extra development for now, and im pretty sure some devs will eventually look into it
They are on different carriers so it depends big on that too. I had the Epic Touch (GS2) on Sprint. Great phone, horrible service. I have the Droid Maxx right now.
What carrier are you looking to join?
In my personal opinion software wise I like the GS2 more. It's easier and faster (snappier). The UI looks a lot better to me. I wished Verizon had a variant of the GS2 or at least I hope they get the GS3 that's gonna come out. Only things the Droid Maxx has better is build quality, battery life, and wireless radio is insanely better.
I found RAZR much more solid built & expensive looking.
And if you get your razr for 300Euro only as I did, no doubt - it's the best choise!

Completely disagreed! Looks awesome. Like a brick. That's what I like. The only one reason why I choose Razr is Sony wasn't in the market at that time.
I will keep an eye on xperia s development section and MAYBE will change my razr for Xperia at the end of this year.
I didn't read the whole thread before I posted, my bad. But if you were looking for a phone for development the best choice currently would of been the Galaxy Nexus. Google phones are made for development.

i flash that **** Moto Droid RAZR in the toilet dude is the worst phone ever no matter how thin it is look at the specs and stop posting motos crap stuff in here,this place belong to samsung
Two things:
1) It has a Pentile display = fail
2) Moto sucks at s/w. Say anything you want about Samsung but they do a great job optimizing s/w for better performance. The h/w accelerated browser of the SGS2 is an example. Compare the HTC Amaze and T-Mobile SGS2 which are almost identical h/w wise. The Samsung blows the HTC away.
Once Google's s/w knowledge starts making an impact at Motorola I may look at them again. But I have no interest in any of their current devices.
Except for the huge software failure the sgs was.
At least they redeemed themselves by making the software on the sgs 2 the best in terms of performance.
Motorola just doesn't learn... locked bootloader.

Definetely wrong place to post this thread, but personally I love the new Droid RAZR. Its sexy in my opinion and for some reason I just love the look of the new GingerBlur. It has 4G LTE which is pretty awesome and I think it's a nice competitor to the GSII. However why the **** would Verizon release the Bionic if this was just coming out???!

I have an SGS and whilst the first couple of firmwares did have this lag it has been non-existent on the device using the stock firmware for a while now. I've never used a lagfix on my SGS.
I wonder how long it is before they get stamped on for falsely claiming that it's the thinnest? Samsung got slapped down for trying the same in the UK, and rightly so. The SGS2 has a pretty big hump at the bottom and the new Moto is no different.
Other than the bootloader, which will likely not matter within a month, it looks like a pretty good phone.
Other than the rather blatant trolling (surely a mod will move it soon), why not quit the hating and let it stand for itself?
So im still debating of getting a razor since the maxx came out however i still havent found something that the razor is better in from the nexus. As right now i just know the razor has better signal and sound/call quality (call quality i could careless about as i dont call that much). The very very main thing thats keeping me away from the razor is the locked bootloader and the possibility of a dev-dead device. ICS, not a big deal razor will get it eventually. So back to the main thing, what is there about the razor that is "WOW OMFG" over the nexus? CPU? GPU? Im super frustrated over this as verizon has only 1 exchange and i do not wanna screw it up.
Build Quality.
The droid RAZR has one of the best hardware specifications in the market, however there are some phones which got better hardware like Galaxy Note for example.
But the WOW about the droid RAZR which I couldn't find in any other android phone is it's build quality and it's solid feel. It's so sexy. Kelvar fabrics on the back, gorilla glass on the front, coating around the hardware which protects it from water, amazingly thin. I love my RAZR
Along with it's smart acessories, just check the look on your friends when you attach you're phone to the laptop dock and start using it as your laptop.
When I used to compare my previous android phones with iPhone I used to feel that my phone is cheaper.
With the RAZR you wont get that feeling.

It's comments like this that kill the internet, if you have an opinion share it. If not, bugger off. I'm pretty sure people know how to google, they got here, right?
ANYWAY, back on the topic:
Hardware wise - the only thing the Gnex has that the RAZR doesn't is NFC and a slightly curved screen. The Gnex's camera is only 5mp I belive, whereas the RAZR's is 8 - So hardwarewise, I'd go with the RAZR
Feeling - like stated, the RAZR feels solid and amazing in your hands. It's a little big (some people's thumbs cant reach all the way across), but for most that isn't a deal breaker. The curve of the Gnex literally does nothing for me. and the Gnex kinda has that plasticy feel that does make it seem cheap.
Software - yes Gnex has ICS, and as everyone knows, the RAZR is poised toget it. BUT Gingerbread right now isn't too shabby on it. The RAZR has the best stock OS I've seen. I actually have turned down ROMs because the stock is sexy, sleek and works very well with the device.
Hackability - This is the sad part for me.
The Gnex has an unlocked bootloader and some pretty amazing ROMs already.
Moto seems hellbent on not unlocking the bootloader, so ROM development has to get creative on the RAZR, there's some great ROMs, but they're "fun" to build and implement.
Hope that helps a little.

thank you for the neat rightup. got me leaning now towards the razr maxx. I release now how cheap the nexus is.
I originally purchased the RAZR on release day, and really liked it. But the inner hacker in me was let down. Until recently there was no SBF file, and only one ROM for it (for the Verizon RAZR), and no unlocked bootloader. So I gave it to the wife and bought myself a Galaxy Nexus. And it pacifies the inner hacker, being VERY difficult to brick. I truly like both. If you want a phone that is aesthetically pleasing, feels like granite, but you arent too in to messing with it, then the RAZR is for you. If you want to overclock it until it bleeds electrons and try out ROM after ROM after ROM, then the GNex is for you.

The RAZR overall has better specs. So in the long run, when it get ICS, it'll be better than Nexus. Hope that helps; dry up those tears.

Why did you even bother to post this? I never understand how people can be so *****y.

As for the question at hand...
Having had both, i like the RAZR better. ICS seems buggy and nexus is going to be a vanilla phone. I for one hate AOSP and that's what you get, no bells and whistles. It feels bigger, wierd and looks ugly to me. Webtop is something that i use daily and 3 co-workers have bought a razr because of just seeing my phone. nobody even game my Nexus a second look.

an apology goes a long way here. We appreciate that.
Just a note to that. I'm a senior programmer and what makes me that is not just how awesome my skills are, but how well I teach it to others. I'm bombarded by novice questions all the time and many times i have to repeat myself in the same answer. But its more than just being nice, it grows the company for me to share even if it pains me. A prosperous company will circle back to prosper me. I could answer "didn't i tell you that last week, or Check your email, it was emailed a month ago to the group" but that will just make them not to want to ask, learn, and eventually I will be the only one that knows how to do it. Which is not good for anyone.
If people who ask novice questions here are put off, they will leave. If they learn, perhaps they can learn enough to become developers and perhaps give you the next greatest ROM here. At least that's how i think of it.
I apologize myself for elaborating, but on the surface it appears as two wrongs. Thought it was worth the explanation as to why we came down on you too. Good to see we all see the bigger picture here.
No one has mentioned the web top yet. That is a big feature for me.
There are also some awesome devs working on this phone at droidrzr and they have been cranking out the ROMs over the last month. There is a pretty good variety including ICS

Intesting Question.
There is no doubt that the Razr has a superior build quality. I have the Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket and judging from the build of the SII the Razr if far superior, as far as design the SII is a bit generic since this design is starting to be dated. The Razr has an interesting design somewhat staying away from the rectangle that Apple is trying to lay claim to. The Razr seems very solid in feel and I notice no creaks, or loose fitting parts. Trust me I've had 2 Razrs both was returned to Rogers and the Third I'm using as a spare at the moment. All three had a really good build quality, aside from that OS has somewhat of an issue. What I did notice is that I believe the software has something to do with the Random shutdowns and the second one just dieing. The Third one has been sent to repair and has been reflashed, having the phone on for 2 days I had no random reboot or shutdown so far. It looks as thought build is great but os or firmware has issues.
And here i am. Didnt feel like waiting till tmr so i went out and go it today. I dont know what i was thinking picking up the nexus. Well i have some studing to do on how to root, flash. Thank you guys for convincing me to go with the razr. Its one great device, i already love it like i did my atrix 4g.

Loud speakerphone - pretty important to me.
And moto accessories can't be beat.

Very Good point as well. Although I don't use the webtop - that is certainly a selling point for the RAZR.
AT&T currently doesn't have a phone that is powerful as the OG Galaxy SII. Sure there is the Note and SkyRocket but they aren't as powerful. I would like to know if this phone is still selling strong. I just bought one. But anyway, this seems to be the best phone AT&T has ever had. Maybe the iPhone 4s comes in second? What do you think?

Seems that everyone else doesn't want to play nice so I'll add my own opinion. I think that the only phone that will be able to give our phone a decent challenge will be the HTC One X when it comes to AT&T supposedly in April. It looks to be a pretty nice phone, hopefully AT&T doesn't mangle it too bad.

Will agree with this one, the only problem some of the other phones that AT&T carries is that they simply bloat them to death and it kind of gives the phones a bad rap when reviewed by alot of the review sites.
Would love to see a review where the majority of the phones are benched/reviewed side by side with stock firmware/rom's vs rooted/custom rom's
I came from a Motorola Atrix to this and it was a definite upgrade. Great phone, and imo atleast for NOW, its the best. I'm sure something will come along soon and trump it, but till then, we're the kings of the mountain.

It does look like a nice phone, and I would have probably gotten it as a 2nd phone if it had a micro sd slot. the S4 chip seems impressive, but I'm sure the next exynos chip will crush it though once it's released
Coming from HTC Dream (G1), it is a step up for me for SGSII. But of couse, AT&T screwed it up with how they managed this device (not reconized it as 4G..DUH!!!). HTC One X seem to be the up to the task to match up to SGSII. But then we'll have to see.
Well coming from an iPhone and inspire this way way way better then any phone I have ever seen att carry.like mention before the HTC one XL may be the only phone to challenge this one(maybe the rumored galaxy s3 ) but not being able to remove the battery is one of its downfalls .
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Yeah the One X looks like the first HTC phone in a while that could hold up against the Samsung.
The GS III could be earlier this year than last year. If the att variant is as close to the international as the i777 was to the i9100, then the One X will be back-seated quick.
But, the Captivate is still pretty strong after two years. Heck, they had ICS before we did. I would guess the i777 will continue to be popular for about the same timeframe, 2 years.

"Powerful" is in the eye of the beholder. I love my GSII, it is way snappy, but if I am in the bay area (which I am pretty regularly) I cant take advantage of the LTE there. All depends on what you value.

Just what he says, with the SGS2 he can't take advantage of the LTE network. You need a Skyrocket for that.

It does look like a nice phone, and I would have probably gotten it as a 2nd phone if it had a micro sd slot. the S4 chip seems impressive, but I'm sure the next exynos chip will crush it though once it's released

The SD card slot isn't too big of a deal to me because of the fact that the phone should be coming with a 32GB internal storage which is what my S2 has with the SD card added. The non removable battery could be more of a problem if it has the typical HTC battery life. If I didn't have my S2 right now and was ready for an upgrade I'd definitely give the One X a chance.
Just read the specs on HTC One, unless I missed something, it looks like HTC made the display .2" bigger than the GSGII Skyrocket just so they don't look like they are behind Samsung. Ya it is a nice phone but not nice enough to leave SGSII.
....that some people don't like this phone.
Well i started to hate motorola after buying this phone (even though i consider it a great phone) so i don't think that is strange that other people who previusly had a motorola know ar not buying it anymore

For not caring a shi*t of they costumers and for locking the bootlaoder on an open source os like android
Android should be open and free to all of us to play with. Bootloader
Battery life => 2 Days RazrMaxx
I want to complain about having a fully functional phone that exceeds my expectations every day. I would also like to complain about not having a completely free update to my phone the exact second someone on the internet told me it would be avaliable. You know what? Stop fixing bugs Motorola. I want my software now otherwise a couple weeks down the road, I'll have nothing to complain about. And as a consumer, I always need something to complain about! Nothing is good enough for me! Rabble rabble rabble!
There you go, I just summarized this forum over the past couple weeks.

I'll see you in hell.. where the devil knows my name...
I have a Razr Maxx side by side with a Galaxy Nexus, and taking out all the politics and love/hate to their manufacturers, here is my evaluation of them as PHONES (ya know, thingies that make calls):
- Gnex - early ICS, tried more than 10 different ROMs until I settled for one that is just blazing fast. Battery - barely a day. Insufficient battery life, for my needs.
- Razr - Good hardware. Lots of trolling on forums, caused by Motorola's delays. Amazing battery, but without several ROMs to test, the only usable thing is an ICS leak that underperforms - sluggish, and no native SIP (no, I don't want it through 3rd party apps - Gnex's ICS has it. Period.).
I do have a 3200mAh battery for the Gnex. Lasts more than a day with it, but looks like a telephone with a disease. Or a very healthy brick.
At the end of the day, I like them both, but I just wish I had a Gnex with the Razr's battery.
I want to complain about ics leak 211 running great on my RAZR Maxx. ..but then I woke up and realised its as good as it selling. I read something today stating the RAZR/Maxx line gas outsold Verizon's iPhone 4s finally. Might not be much but that's a good foothold.
I like my razr, really much, he's like a son for me, the perfect son.
I just hate motorola, really hate..

None of your gripes happened after you bought your phones. Why would you buy a phone that did not meet your needs? And Android IS open source... to the manufacturers. You DO understand that Motorola is a business, right? They're not a non-profit organization serving some altruistic higher calling. They have one obligation- to sell phones, tablets, and accessories at a price that will generate a profit for the stockholders. That's it. They never promised an unlocked bootloader. They have, historically, given free updates to the folk who buy their phones.

They never put on they commercial that they have a locked bootloader and also i bought my phone when it was on sale so i took the offer and i didn't tought that it will have a locked bootloader (my naive thought, coming from a n1, was oh nice is an android i can do whather i want)
Also is true that a company doesn't have ony obbligation to give some nice support to their customers, but do you really think that people knowing that will ever buy something from them? I'm pretty sure that everyone here that are whining about the bootloader will NEVER suggest a motorola to their friend,parents etc.
They can make us happy without too much hassle, yet they still continue this way and i'm pretty sure that this thing influence the sales( last motorola quarter was not too good even though the razr and the droid 4 are awesome smartphones)
p.s they promised the bootloader unlock: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...ockable-in-late-2011-where-carriers-allow-it/

Seeing how long it takes to develop ics,, which I suspect started even before the product is launched.. I wonder how long it would take for us to get jelly beans..

Oh, where to begin...
Some guy on the internet says Motorola says they'll unlock the bootloader? Sorry... not official word, not corroborated, blah blah blah. About as believable as that guy who was posting bogus ICS pictures here for the last couple weeks.
Maybe you need to check your info... The Razr is the #1 selling smartphone at Verizon... even surpassing the iPhone.
I've had great support on all my Motorola phones (my Razr Maxx is my 4th). On this phone alone, I've had 2 updates, and ICS should be here shortly. On my last phone, it started on Eclair, was updated to Froyo, and then to Gingerbread. And in between and after, it's had other maintenance updates, too. What more do you want... a valet to charge it for you when it gets low?
I'm sorry that you didn't properly research your phone before you bought it. But whose fault is that? It's certainly not Motorola's.

Again, my last phone was updated from Eclair to Froyo to Gingerbread. You have no basis in claiming the Razr will not get Jellybean. Unless you have some proof... which I doubt.
Like I've stated before. This was a $500 phone. I bought it because of the compatibility for ICS. And Motorola does the same crap again. Delays and delays the updates again. I want my GSM Rogers updated in Q2 since that's what they've been saying all along... but we know that's BS.

I can't believe the number of ppl on here who ***** and moan about "motorola this" and "motorola that"...jeez if you don't like the brand, purchase Nexus or something like others have said.
As for Moto, I LOVE their stuff. I had a Z6, Z8, Milestone, Defy, Atrix and now Razr!! I must say that Z6 was a mean machine in it's time. The Razr is awesome on GB and I'm sure it will not lose any of its awesomeness when it gets ICS.
Oh and i also got a Xoom tablet and it runs ICS faultlessly, I mean FAULTLESSLY!!!
Sorry to be the bearer of good news.

Its not like we got the phones for free. We have the right to ***** and moan until the update gets here and IIIIF it gets here...
Rogers OTA leaked, I'm 99% sure it's the final build. Runs perfectly for me. Snoop around this forum and you'll find it. Since the Rogers build is technically done, I'd complain to your carrier not Motorola. Rogers is the one delaying the release because their build is already done.
The product Rogers/Motorola sold you is working exactly as advertised on GB. If you were complaining the phone wasn't working I'd see your point. But complaining because they haven't released the latest and greatest? Stop littering the forum
I'm sorry but I have to agree. I was under the impression the RAZR was an ics device. It shocked me a little when I looked and saw gb. When my research showed ics 'just' round the corner I happily took the plunge.
I'm not too upset due to the leaks and miui etc. However, I am used to fully custom kernels and when a dual core device with 1gb of ram at 1.2 ghz runs the same as a single core 512mb @ 800mhz, I can help but think we are being screwed. This of course is my opinion of my own usage.

I hate even more Samsung
For this reason the nexys 7 is a instant buy for me XD
Aside from the software issues, the phone is a solid piece of hardware. When I was getting ready to upgrade, I was set on a Nexus for it's hacker friendliness, but for one, I just don't have the time to mess around with various roms, and two, the razr felt better in my hand, looks better, and from I hear, runs better. The kicker? The haptic feedback was nice and tight compared to the loose and what I felt excessive vibration from the rezound and nexus. I'm not saying that the haptic is a priority, but that's what really reaffirmed for me that it was a solid device.
Got ICS running on mine...quite lovely.
