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?
RAZR or Droid X2 pr Bionic?
I dont like Droid 3 sorry..

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.

Lastly, the Razr isn't even available yet, lol. You are going to have an issue with a phone that doesn't exist, at least not physically in your hands.

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.

thanx everyone...just one more question since this member mentioned it...will thee be ANY sort of difference in the hardware./software jn the Asian versions? Ofwoyherthe razor or bionic??
Thanx...i guess will have to go back to the age old game of waiting and watching...
I don't think they have released that info yet. You might want to check with your carrier.

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.
Hey guys I was following a thread a few days ago that was posted about how unlimited data and now I can't find it I'm guessing the OP removed it for sum reason??
Anyone else can confirm this for me please.
Thanks
By calling Verizon and add the hotspot feature then go online and drop it to get unlimited. I was going to try this but at one point in time my sons line had unlimited data so they just readded it to his line.

I was wondering the same. I'm curious as to why it was removed. I don't really care...just curious.

Looks like it's in the Bionic forum because it talks about the Bionic in the first sentence.
A better, combined guide can be found at droidrzr.com under Droid RAZR FAQ's called "Unlimited Data Upgrade." I am not "allowed" to link to it.

i did this awhile ago and it worked great for me it just took a couple of times.

yup, it's gone. confirmed.
Its gone because stupid sites like Gizmodo and AP along with others REPORTED IT. Of course VZ is going to catch on. Thanks assholes for ruining it for everyone. Now VZ is gonna go back and retro everyone back.
Has anyone been retro?

I dont think they would waste their time and effort on it. If your one of the lucky ones that got it. Be glad you got ahead of everyone else before it got out publicly to the masses.

My wife and I are locked in to a T-Mobile family plan but she is in love with the new razr. Is it even possible to buy one online, root it, and flash a rom that would support T-Mobile? Any help would be awesome. Thanks
I believe the Razr is for use on CDMA networks such as Verizon. It will not be useable on TMobile.

Is it only CDMA, I thought it also had 2g,3g radio in it. Checking now.
Your only option would be to buy an international GSM Razr (XT910) I reckon. Maybe take a drive to Canada?

Figured CDMA would land before GSM. Oh well, I've sorta kinda moved on anyway, but it'll be nice to see what goodies the upgrade brings.

Their source has promised them that it's not fake. Question is, who is the source and how reliable are they?
Furthermore, cdexsw from droidhive.com said that Best Buy has confirmed the update as well.

The Razr was the Verison flagship device and they put a lot of effort into selling them. GSM carriers have way more phones that they sell and i doubt they sold as good as the CDMA version so they are making the CDMA version first
Motorola is sending emails to RAZR and Maxx owners to participate in soak tests.

Funny, I figured CDMA would land before GSM simply because the CDMA RAZR is a single-carrier flagship device, but there was all that hoo-ha a while back when Moto's update page said 'Planning and development'..

I hope its released the 4th. I hate not having ICS on my phone. The ROMs are ok but they will be awesome when we get moto drivers!
Excuse my possible ignorance, but if one of us gets in the soak test can't we use a system dump and compile it as a ROM?

I have the xt912 M and used the root instructions and was successful! (YAY Thanks ALL!!!) I am trying to use this phone with another carrier than verizon, What should I do from here? Will rooting phone be enough or do I need a custom ROM before I can do this? I LOVE my phone and do not want to buy a different one if I don't have to. Sorry if these are stupid questions but today is my 1st attempt at cracking my phone open.
