Thank you oh krelvinaz. Tho art generous in sharing your wisdom ;-) lemme check them out
Am already aware of the existing problems and their work arounds and the only problem remaining is the sms one and am sure something will give and a solution found. What i need is to know if there is a way to unlock the phone.
Phone is factory unlocked for gsm use, minus the sms problem.
Huraaaah! Getting it next week then. Or maybe i should wait for an sms work around to the problem

The phone comes 'Unlocked' but texting/SMS as said has not been fixed (But hopefully we are nearly there ) and if you are looking to buy I have just seen a new listing for HTC Rezound on ebay for like half the price I bought mine for
Listing: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HTC-Rezou...76961?pt=UK_Mobile_Phones&hash=item4ab501d881
£280?? what the duck is that about?? (just to let you know I bought mine for just over £420 and that was cheap then? ) Can someone tell me If I was riped off??
^^^^my mouth is watering....am hungry for a hd screen!
Don't buy the Rezound for GSM use. Wait for the HTC One X.

For me, the best screen sie is 4.3" beyond that i think its excessive. Also, the one x is not due in the market for atleast another month and when is does come out, its price will be rocket high. Again, the Rezound is the only phone with a 1280x720 res on a 4.3" screen. So i figure i take it now

Half? Try almost a quarter of what I spent.
Am bidding for one as we speak...am soon going to join your ranks...the droid army shall live forever!

I actually waited. My upgrade was available Dec 28th. At the time, it was $299, by Jan it was $199, I saw Amazon had it for $79 but I am on a company plan and couldn't figure out how to get it for that price. I got it in Feb when it dropped to $99.
Last time I went full pop on the original Dinc, didn't have root for months. Didn't want to do that again. Was a great phone, but the Rezound is much better.
More internal memory is one big plus and it is much faster than the Dinc ever was. Camera takes great macro pictures.

Droid Eris November 6, 2009 - May, 2010
That seems a bit short. I'm still happy with my purchase and hope this doesn't stop HTC from supporting it later on (I know it won't be soon) and that the devs may lose interest... Oh well. Maybe i'll scrap some cash together and just grab a desire when it comes out... who knows.
**Sorry for the poor title. I didn't catch it til it was too late.**
it's really all verizon's fault, they NEVER promoted the eris, and if you went in there wanting to buy one they would push the droid on you like no tomorrow.
hopefully this doesnt stop them from releasing the 2.1 OTA update to the general public, it will really help development along for us. Someday, when my eris dies I will upgrade (damn that incredible looks so good...) but until that day, I dont regret a single thing about it. except for installing leak, good thing a got a replacement though
It always seemed to me like the Eris has been advertised as Verizon's cheaper (even free for a lot of us) alternative to the Droid, and it did it's job well.
With the Incredible and Nexus One and all of the other phones (probably) coming out soon I'd expect the Droid to take the Eris' place in the lineup, like a "Buy a new HTC Incredible and get a Motorola Droid FREE" kind of deal.
ah.... oh well...
Looks like I will be upgrading soon... and paying the full price too lol, since I JUST started my contract on November 2009... oh well technology comes and goes.. and I'll have a new testing device!

Why would you upgrade that quick? The eris still has quite a few miles left in her. Early adopters can be very annoying sometimes. I have a friend (kind of) that buys a new macbook everytime there is a refresh. Drives me bat**** crazy to pay several hundred dollars more for something that does only a little more than the old one...

We all know technology changes daily be it hardware or software or whatever...
Cell phones, pda's ect are particularly susceptible as they are market driven and manufacturers are always trying to come out with the "Next Big Thing".
Hell the moto droid is now available on several websites for 20 bucks on a new 2 year...Letstalk.com etc...
Being a former 8 year blackberry user I can say this for Android at least theyre not just putting a new facade over a dated os\ui . So long as my eris doesnt melt down at the end of life date I'm good. Also so long as you're a VZW customer you'll get support for your device even if it is minimal.
I always felt the Eris was kind of an afterthought, the way they marketed it.

It's just a thought for now... I haven't totally decided but I will wait and see what the HTC incredible or whatever VZW comes out with, has to offer... if its something like an amazingly fast phone I'll probably get it.. if not I will stay with the Eris.. I don't hate the Eris, I think it is one amazing phone
plus I'd still be on here [XDA] using the Eris for testing stuff, helping out as much as I can..
looking at the incredible's spec sheet though, it's really worth the upgrade, i mean... it literally DOUBLES most of the specs, the re resolution of the screen is 480x800... the eris' screen is 480 in LENGTH, that's pretty impressive. Will i get the incredible? if i had the money, which i dont, so i will stay with my eris for as long as I deem fit, because honestly, it's a damn good phone for what it's worth.
and what about in six more months after that and they double the specs on the incredible

exactly... I will see when i comes out what people are saying first.. and the eris is an amazing phone for the price. I really dont think you can beat the value.
After rocking an HTC Touch for 1.5 years, I bought a brand new Eris from someone and avoided a contract reset just a week ago. I think it's a great phone, and I have no regrets. I can upgrade anytime but I'm still on a very good Alltel contract so I want to hold out as long as I can before switching to a VZW plan. It does everything I need it to do.
Has anyone heard anything more about this? I'd like to know if it's actually going to happen or not. Although I'm sure if it is we'll find out soon.. I'd also like to know if they'd offer us an upgrade for free or at least half price. If they stop doing the phone completely I think they should at least offer us something. I'd love to upgrade to the Incredible if it was free or half price..
why would they give us a new phone simply because they've stopped selling it?
If you have to do a warranty replacement or anything like that, I'm sure there is a large multitude of backup units, and once those run out/they stop carrying those, verizon will simply replace it with a phone of equal value and hardware features like they always have done for discontinued phones.

Where did you hear that the nexus one isn't coming to verizon. It's been confirmed for verizon for a while now. There just isn't a release date. I suspect we'll hear about it next month at the google I/o conference as will as news about froyo.

I just read an article about the nexus one being scrapped. Thought you just another person complaining because they were impatient. I'll eat my words and apologize now.
yeah, the nexus one is pretty dead.
plagued by 3g problems, and low sales, the only thing to really look forward to in picking one up over another phone like the incredible is that it it's wireless N chipset miiiiiiiiiiight (big might) get support soon.
honestly, for the price you'd be better off getting an incredible and waiting for root to get vanilla-android.
and man, why do people hate sense ui so much? the only ONLY problem it has is how laggy it can get. and on the eris? honestly, I expected it when I bought it looking at the specs. but upgrading to 2.1 got rid of ALL the lag for me. I love the look and extra screens of sense.
and jebus... the incredible is rocking DOUBLE the cpu and ram hardware, using nearly the same rosie build as the eris. it will be faster then us on 2.1 out of the freaking box, and with root... you'll be blazing through apps like crazy.
Noticing a whole stack of them in the case at a local Bestbuy, I asked 2 store managers and 2 other dept employees about the new Razr. They ALL said it was a non-event, although Motorola had invested $mils in advertising. Evidently, it was designed and put into production months ago, and nowadays that's just not quick enough for the Android market. Things simply evolve much faster than Motorola's bureaucracy can adjust.
Biggest reason customers put it back on the shelf: Soldered in, non-replaceable battery.
Reason #2 : The screen is a yawner. It's boring, old news.
Reason #3 : It's new, it's gonna have bugs, and customers simply don't have to put up with that.
#4: $299 w/contract - and you're stuck with it for 2 years.
Is this phone locked? Can it be flashed? Just curious - one of them told me it can't be rom'ed. Would Mot be that monopolistic ?
According to one of the phone-dept workers, a good chunk of sales have been returned overnight after a disappointing unboxing/testing.
Frankly, I thought the phone was a pretty solid piece of work - especially compared to the plastic Samsungs. I love it's little slots on the side for XD cards, NICE touch. But alas, the screen is, well, is just isn't. Not with the 1200x800's about to hit around Thanksgiving.
Oh well, one of them said Mot's is already planning a Razr-2 in Jan to fix all this stuff, but now they're behind the power curve. Who knows.
I think Amazon offering the phone for $111.11 or Costco including $100+ in extras is why Best Buy isn't selling many.

This.
Also the phone needs recovery at this point I believe. It can certainly be "Rom-ed" but it just can't be "Kernel'ed". That is a pretty lame deal breaker if you want a phone simply to install different kernels to boost your quadrant scores that no one cares about.
If you ask me I agree the phone is amazing, I love it. The screen is mind blowing to me, so I have no problem paying that and being in a contract for it. I guess one needs to consider all the options customers have at this point, mainly with the iphone on verizon now. Every average jo wants an iphone just cause his neighbor has one.
Anyone true tech enthusiast wouldn't buy from Best Buy LOL (I've went there with a friend that insisted I do for Black Friday). That place is terrible and is a total rip off. Geek squad and the employees (I haven't spoke to a single one that seems to know what they're doing/talking about) yeah they're something else. I highly doubt there's going to be a RAZR 2 coming out in Jan, it's probably the DROID 4, which has similar design but also has a physical keyboard. If it definitely is the the RAZR 2 this will be my last Motorola phone period. If their solution is to just make a new device like 2-3 months later, instead of supporting their most current phones, then that's a bad business model for sure.
Sure there probably will be a RAZR 2, but I personally hope not, seeing it would kinda tarnish the fact that it's a unique device/name series. But yeah with Amazon selling the device for 111.11 on 11/11 and Costco with that beast package, and a good majority of people pre ordering to get the phone early (one day w00t). It's not a surprise that Best Buy isn't pushing the phones like hotcakes. Also I would take anything that Best Buy tells you about Android rumors with a grain of salt.
I wouldn't go to best buy if they were the ONLY brick and mortar selling phones. I'd wait the 2 days for UPS.
Anyone with good common sense wouldn't go to BB for their phones even with their instant rebate deals. Their "insurance" plan is a rip off and the fact Amazon was selling it for 111.11 on the day of release (as someone said earlier) is reason enough for BB to not see this phone flying off shelves.
Add to the fact, all the advertising dollars Verizon spent, pointed to the phone being sold BY VERIZON STORES. I have a friend who works for verizon and she sold out of the RAZR within a couple hours and her store had a couple hundred of them.
SO don't go drinking Best Buy's kool aid. Especially when they know nothing of phones (let alone the products they sell as a whole)
the OP is completely full of crap... so is anyone else that says the removable battery is a "no go". did the soldered in battery hurt Iphone?
the screen on this phone is fantastic, anyone who wants to complain about it is a person that will never be happy with anything.
bugs? this is the least buggy phone that i have ever owned.
im nowhere near a moto fan boy, but these complainers need to jus STFU, the Razr is a sweet phone.......

I lol'd. BB is terrible for computers/phones etc (Newegg for life!). Anyways the fact that they're saying there's a RAZR 2 coming out in like 4 months yeahhh no. Droid 4 probably aka RAZR jr w/ a keyboard, will be nice for those that crave physical keyborads. But I doubt moto is gonna pull another "Bionic" deal with the RAZR. Replacing their flagship so soon after it comes out, I'm trying to retain faith lol.
They do have a 30 day return policy. Also the insurance gets you a new phone (but you have to wait 17 months to get it).

Imo it's all about software optimization. Hardware on these phones are ahead of the software that's out there for sure. GS2 is a beast when it first came out, and still is.

I don't think so. Motorola have learnt this from his past. Milestone was buggy.. but watch at the first ATRIX ROM: there wasn't any important bug at all. They've only enhanced its speed with the updates as personally I haven't noticed any bug.
And anyway, every first S/W version of every pda has got some bugs, that's absolutely normal, with the exception that Motorola is very fast at updates.

This device is another exception in Motorola's policies. Moto uses to sign their devices forever, but as Moto said and confirmed publicly, like happened on ATRIX for the Gingerbread update, when RAZR will get ICS, Moto will give us an unlockable bootloader, thing that is SURE for non branded devices and for branded ones (like Verizon's...) it's about the operator.

I know of some guys that have bought the RAZR, unboxed, tested for 30 minutes and then re-sold it. It was too big for their hands. I don't know other bad things as for now.
Anyway, in my opinion, you should try the device in a store prior buying it, especially if it is a big device and you've got small hands.

Mmh, I don't think so, at least for now. They've just released the RAZR.
That would cut their RAZR sales and make them lose a lot of money.
I guess everyone who did buy a RAZR, and is happy with it (myself included) should throw our device away and hang our heads in share, based on this information from the always solid reliable and correct Best Buy store employees.
Anyone know what the Costco bundle for the RAZR comes with?

Yes! Cause we all know that Best Buy store employees are always right !!!!
Since I agree with most of these Bestbuy comments, I made a trip over to the Verizon store. Hit 3 actually, one is the largest in the state. Guess what - there were dozens of new razr's in stock there too.
Not convinced, I asked around, speaking to 3-4 employees in each store. They all said the same thing the Bestbuy people did - the phone is a 7 month old semi face lift of some earlier Mot phone, and simply put nobody cares for it and nobody's impressed. Same list of complaints earlier in this thread.
"What's everybody waiting for" I asked? Everyone said the same thing: the high res screens that are about to hit. Namely the SAMSUNG Nexus is the first of a long list of new generation phones, we may see 6-7 by EOY they told me
So this site lists the View for $399, but when you hit Buy Now, the price comes up as $299 plus $20 for shipping (credit to SlickDeals for the tip).
I just paid $255 for a WiFi Flyer. I have no desire to activate this thing on Sprint, so essentially, this would serve as a WiFi Flyer, too. However, it's black (which I like better than the silver), and it's got double the memory. It looks like the View gets hardly any support from devs, though. Is it worth the extra $65 bucks to pick this up?
Mainly, will the leaked Honeycomb updates work on the View?
EDIT: Down to $275 plus shipping now. I couldn't resist.
What site?

Yeah, I am, too. One guy said he picked 2 up directly and they were as described and able to be activated on Sprint.
I'm really hoping that the official Honeycomb update comes out soon. If it doesn't, I'll probably resell the View. Not sure I want a tablet without support from the community behind it.

That's the reason I went ahead and purchased. It shouldn't be too hard to dispute it with PayPal should that become necessary.
Having had a few HC 3.2 tablets - Acer, Archos - I prefer the speed and stability of HTC's Gingerbread with Sense. If HTC does bring out HC for Flyer/View - all well and good, but not a big deal to me - I love the Flyer the way it is.

Well, really, the reason I want support is because I'd like to see ICS on it at some point.
Plus, the expanded pen capabilities of Honeycomb seem sweet, since that is one of the primary features of this particular tablet.

Will do. I got a shipping notification already. I'm traveling for the next few weeks, though, so I won't actually be able to check it out until next month.
Went ahead and purchased one from this site since the flyers are literally unavailable locally. Purchased monday and paid for 2 day ups. Just got it 5 minutes ago BNIB. Was sketchy on ordering but since paypal was used I wasn't worried about getting my money back. The site and price (as long it lasts) is legit.

Sweet. Good to know. That's what a couple of other reports have said, too, so I don't really expect to find any issues when I get mine. It was delivered today, so now all that remains is for me to get back into town and open it up.
LOL ouch on the unsupported side of things. Let's just say im waiting since something is dropping really soon that would make a gingerbread kernel a waste of my time. I may compile one but it will be more practice than anything else.

Sounds like you know something I don't. If this thing gets Honeycomb, then I'm definitely keeping it. I can deal with a rooted system on a stock ROM, but I didn't really want to be stuck with Gingerbread for the life of the thing.
In my defense, I didn't see your ROM until after I found this deal. I'll probably try your ROM out, and if you develop something for HC, I'll definitely try that out, too.
199.99 new line activation thru a third party sprint store. Sprint data is good where I'm at and like u said double the memory. All together pen+tab =270.00= me geekin out til my girl leaves me LOL. 20.00/mo for 1gig data...not the best but certainly the lowest option out on the market as far I've seen. I have only used 62 kb and sure its gonna stay there for a while. Plenty of WiFi.

Not bad. No way I'll be signing a contract with Sprint again (at least for a few years), but if it works for you, then great!
Yep, she is finally jumping ship from MetroPCS to Verzion! But, guess what phone she is getting? The Nexus, lol. Just ordered it this morning, should be here next week sometime. We still get the extended return period, which now it is practically a regular period since the 15th is only 2 1/2 weeks away. But, I got it discounted, early upgrade for my Xoom. I literally called and said "I would like to see about doing an early upgrade since I no longer had my Xoom. The rep didn't even hesitate, didn't have to transfer, didn't have to talk to anyone else, just did it. So, we will see if she likes it, otherwise I will pay the $35 and she is getting the Rezound also. She isn't a nerd like us, so anything above her 4 year old Metro PCS POS is going to impress her.
Nice. My GF loves her Nexus but always asks to take pictures with my phone instead haha
not being a nerd like us is why i worry that the nexus was the worse choice of the two....idk, it feels like it's a lot more to get accustomed to, whereas sense is very straightforward, ya know? either way, she'll dig it!
I think if she knew 1 UI or another it might be confusing, but to her it is going to be like getting a brand new car upgraded from a pinto, lol.
Are you seeing my wife? I thought she was the only one left driving a Pinto for a phone. LG something or another flip phone.

haha very true, hope she digs it! psh, she could've gotten a pink-buttoned rezound, though lol
Verizon has been really great about people upgrading early. One reason is that their locking us in for another two and 2. They dont want us to jump ship Lol.

Well, I took her to the store to play with all of the phones several times. Most things she liked were not spec things, but rather some miscellaneous features. Plus, she knows we can take it back.

hahaha, I don't even know what the name of her phone is. Metro has so many offbrand foreign, should have never cleared FCC phones, lol.
Ah well, can't have everything, I "convinced" my girlfirend to get a Rezound and she loves it, she's even letting me ROM it up until my replacement Rezound (mine was unlockable). I bet she trys to get you to trade

Not my phone, not my problem, that's what I say. ('Drinking out of Cups' reference)
I dont know what it is but for some reason I just REALLY want this phone right now. I have to admit when the gs3 was first announced I thought it was the ugliest thing out there. Lately its been growing on me and I just want it very badly right now. I probably seen every unboxing/review video of it in youtube and I constantly check for updates on what the situation on this phone is. What makes matters worst is that i pre ordered this phone on Verizon so i have to wait longer then everyone else to get it. Im just hoping for a stroke of luck that some how The verizon model gets shipped out before the 9th. Anyways am I the only one like this?
i think the hype for this phone has been just so much a lot of people are feeling the same way...
im actually about to return my HTC Evo 4G LTE (which is an AWESOME phone), for putting in my pre-order for the sgs3
the removable, larger batter and the 2 GBs of RAM really have me pumped, plus a lot of cool extra features, gesture controls, etc make this a super exciting phone...

Exactly! lol and i think what sold me the most on this phone is the fact that the battery is gonna be way better then my galaxy nexus so i dont have to worry about it dying all the time. Also all of the other features are just amazing.

lol noooo you're not the only one. I've watched almost every video on youtube.. over and over and over again and finally someone shared a video of the Canadian version which is the same as the U.S. one which I will be getting on June 21st from tmobile I am too too excited! imma have to pay 600 somethin for it.. grrrr
hahaha same, im stalking this phone like a bieber fan.
Yea you're alone. I'm coming from an Evo 4G, and there have been some decent replacements, like the nexus, galaxy S II, but I've been stalking this phone since it was first annouced back before march. I'm with Sprint, so I'll have mine next week. You can live vicariously through us.
Waiting on a pre-order is worse than simply waiting for release in my opinion, since the money is already gone from my account, but no phone in hand. Reading about how much the international people are enjoying theirs already makes it even harder.
You are not alone. I am also very excited for the S3!!! Then again I have an X2 so really any phone is looking good to me right about now lol!
I'm pretty blown away by the specs of the S3 and if I don't have to pay full price for it, I'll probably get it. Does anyone know if I would still have to pay full retail price for the S3 if I upgrade my contract before the 28th and lock in another 2 years unlimited data?? On Verizion, obviously...

I am glad I am not the only one who feels this way. I think Samsung should start doing their press release events the day before release because making us wait this long is simply unfair. I am secretly hoping that my carrier will call me today and say 'we got a stack of phones in early, would you like to pick yours up early?' LOL. Seriously, I know once I have the phone a while the novelty will wear off a bit but I want it now. And its not like my SGS2 is not a good enough phone or won't hold me over for another year. Do we need help or are just simply victims of marketing?? haha
And now it looks like the Canadian release date has been increased another week to the 27th.
I can't wait either cuz I'm not rooting this evolte since its temp so I want my permanent gs3 yeah buddy.
I thought I was the only one... I thought this was the ugliest phone, but it some how has grown on me, a lot, like I haven't been this bad since the first iPhone came out (everyone was going crazy about it)... and the fact that I haven't seen any U.S variants is driving me nuts...
Lol same here, I almost bought the international version a few days ago to use on AT&T. *Patient running on low*
Im watchin youtube videos of the s3 on my evo lte drooling over the s3 lol

Currently waiting for my S3 from Verizon also and going crazy but over the last couple days it seems that I'm phasing it out more and more. I was going crazy at first and now I'm just like whatever when it comes it comes especially with no solid release date, I've heard so many 6/28, 7/9, 7/10 all I know is that its pre ordered and I'll be in the first batch of shipments whenever it happens.
This is not just a phone - Galaxy Nexus

Rofl me too
Just a phone dude. And like all android phones that get rooted, you never find it perfect because you keep flashing and flashing until some other phone comes out and you feel the need tio get rid of the one you have.
I'm on here like 100+ times a day among every other site that I can find info. I even went and did a recon on a T-Mobile store to find the best tactical advantage for me to get my phone first. Crazy!
