i blve i would wait ive tried both and i like the og atrix way better
I just upgraded to the Atrix 2 (old phone is borked). It's not much of an upgrade, TBH - I wouldn't actively seek it out.
Don't waste your money on the atrix 2. The oringinal atrix has a better dual core processor made by a better company, more dev support, and better features like the fingerprint scanner. The atrix 2 also has a slight camera lag.

The ATRIX 2 is not an upgrade. Its less of one than the DROID X2 was , and it was essentially a dual core and more meh screen.

I've owned both, trust me, it ain't worth the extra bucks, save them for the quad core.
Go big or go home. Go with the Galaxy Note.
Stick with your current atrix the only true upside of the atrix 2 is the 8mp camera withci know for most is not that big a deal. buddy of mine has the atrix 2 he upgraded when his atrix 1 died and he hates it
Plus its so freakin expensive. Its hard to even find an Atrix 2 refurbed or used anywhere

Sorry if this has Ben posted in the past before but I didn't know if that thread would exactly fit my situation. So I've had my atrix for a few months now and I'm just really getting tired of waiting for the bootloader to be cracked. If any of you guys switched from the atrix how did you go about doing it? I just started eBay so I don't have any feedback so what would be the best way to get sgs2 money from my atrix. Thanks

I also had the atrix and switched to a gs2. Although i sold the atrix to a friend. I miss the finger printscanner on the atrix and the qhd resolution but overall, i have to say that the gs2 is a much faster and overall better phone than the atrix. Its thiiner, lighter, bigger screen, much better colors, i like touchwiz better than motoblur and best of all ... Unlocked bootloader!!!
Why dont you try selling it on craiglist?

Better try and sell the Atrix soon. AT&T is starting to cut the price. They will be giving it away for free soon.

So I have cracked the screen on my Galaxy Nexus for a second time. I am thinking about getting the razr maxx with the insurance instead of another nexus. I was hoping you all could give me some straight forward feedback about the device. For example, is the battery life really that great? What is development like here on xda. How is the screen? Call clarity and so forth. Thank you all in advance and I appreciate your time for reply.

RAZR<=Gnex<maxx
If you are used to flash junk and customize your phone a lot. Keep your nexus.
Call quality on RAZR/maxx superior. Camera better on RAZR. Battery is outstanding on Maxx.
You might feel awkward holding edgy RAZR vs smooth nexus.

All I really want is cm 9 at most root at the very least. Do you know if either of those are possible?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I have prob 5 friends w modded nexuses. The screen is sharper on the nexus but much easier to read in any kind of light from me on the maxx. The battery if amazing. I can avg 5 hrs screen on time on 3g alone. The camera is actually much better than I originally thought and takes nice pictures very easily but no camera is as fast as the nexus...although I have only seen a stock nexus actually work correctly in the camera Dept.
I miss ics as I have had it on many phones since last oct but the ics leak is good for the RAZR. Still great battery life there. I rooted mine and froze a bunch of apps today that I don't use but I get the same battery life whether I freeze them or not.
One mild complaint that you may have is the RAZR gallery has a terrible pinch zoom bug. I use quickpic for my gallery and froze the stock gallery along w a lot of other stuff.
In the end its a phone. Calls are clear. Reception is great. And it really last all day. No rebooting all the time. No errors. No problems here. I like that.

Having never owned a Nexus I cannot compare the two but can offer my opinions of the MAXX as it compares to many Android phones from my past. The battery is simply amazing, best I could have ever hoped for. I can abuse my phone (granted that term is subjective) throughout the day and still have some juice left when I go to bed at night. My dad only uses his for calls and his lasts 3-4 days consistantly.
The screen is OK. IMO it is far inferior to the GSII that I came from. If you look close enough you can see a slight screen door effect that looks rather grainy. Not as bad as my Photon was, but still not as good of a screen as I have seen in other phones.
Motorola phones are not known for having a big dev community. I saw a lot more dev activity when I had an EVO 4G, EVO 3D and GSII. That may be the deal breaker for you if you are looking for much more than an out of the box experience.
Having said all of that, if you want an extremely solid phone, then the MAXX can deliver that. My experience in reception is much better than anything I ever owned on Sprint or Verizon and I live in an area with great coverage.
Good luck with whatever you choose.

stop referring to that douchbage and stupid video with that makes no sense, if u dont like the razr sell it and buy a gnex.
to OP: Get the MAXX, the battery is awesome there. Now that we have kexec and when we have the second core running we can fully run modified kernels for our RAZR's

I would love a gsm maxx razr, now it's only 4 USA and I'm out of the borders.
I like razr, gotcha XT910 in december. Bought it because its amazing hardware , but I can't say I'm happy stuck in 2.3.5 GB due locked bl. Others devices in same categorie like SGII, Arc S,, and HTC now are running ICS flawless. To us, we can.only hope get hands on ICS by Q2,, at least.
Also, this is my second razr, and tomorrow I'll leave it to motorola service center again. I've a reason to be disapointed.
Have top phones since 90's and this is far away my best phone ever. Moved to android (came from 'siri' phone) because it's very popular in Brazil, and overall razr design. But you need luck to get a razr with no problem at all, at least, those made here, all LatAm, have to say. I dont see guys from XT912 (you have one right?) complain' about it.
May be too late indeed to motorola unlock bl, SGSIII is on the way with a 1.8 Quade core....
The AdamOtler vdd seems a bit radical, but he made the point. Cannot comment an opinion without reffer to it.

Although the ICS leaks and ROMs are really good. They are not flawless. And won't be until the official release. Even the devs admit that. They all have bugs, albeit very minor bugs.
The big things for me was the HDMI out and the micro sd card. If you get a maxx then you get the awesome battery. While the dev for the phone is low right now, ICS is just around the corner and with a boot workaround here/being worked on I think the razr is the better phone.
both are great devices. so it depends what you want to do with each.
if mods, hacks, roms, flashing are your thing - Galaxy Nexus
limited tinkering - moto razr.
having said that, razr has better battery life. very lightweight. better camera too. plus storage is expandable.
I had the Nexus before I had my Razr Maxx.... Night and day. Radio was garbage in comparison on the Nexus, always bad reception. Battery life is SO much better. Razr feels much more solid. Aside from ICS, the nexus honestly seemed like a piece of junk when I got this.
Is cm9 available yet? Can you even flash custom roms?

Returned my GNEX after three days wit it, bought the Razr and have never been happier. No problems here.

Cause no Samsung phone has ever had problems. Give this video a break as Adam has no clue about the razr. He doesnt dev for it so he has no reason to talk ****. Just because they built it this way does not make it any less disposable than other phones. If it breaks and its your fault, then guess what, you fed up. If its not your fault you get a replacement or switch.

In my opinion, why not? The phone was a success last year, why not have a successor? If the Photon Q manages to be real, my desired specs are:
4.3" inch HD display
1.2 GHz dual core Tegra 3 processor
Android 4
8MP cam, 4MP front face both with 1080p video capture.
1GB ram. 1GB rom.
The same design as OG, but sleeker with much better battery life.
What would you want it to have?

720p screen res(4.3inch or better)
1080p video
1.5-2gig of ram
removable battery of higher capacity
quad core(preferably Tegra3)
world phone
UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER-by far make or break for whether or not i get another Moto with the launch of LTE coming soon for Sprint

This plus ICS. I think 1GB RAM is enough but more couldn't hurt.
I use the us cellular version, the electrify, just a rebadged photon and love it. An electrify II could go slightly larger screen, quad core processor, small bump to 1.5GB or better2gb! Thinner, sleeker body, maybe the same battery as Droid razr maxx... Anytime a more powerful battery could be applied. Who could complain!? And ICS or jellybean installed and no motoblur ui.... Just straight up Android so no rooting would even be required

Same here - next one needs to be unlocked since we cannot trust their sales words. If it's not unlocked OOB, then it stays ITB (In The Box) in the Sprint Store.

Yep
The only good thing I can say about my Photon is it has a good radio. For everything else, it sucks. The screen sensitivity for gaming blows, the phone is laggy as hell.. sometimes Ill push something on the screen and it may take 3-8 seconds to recognize I pushed anything.
Ive tried tuning it with various methods and its de-blurred now which helped A LITTLE. I tried V6 Supercharger, Rom Toolbox, overclocked the processor, etc... it still sucks.
I almost bailed on Sprint and went to Verizon when they were winding down their unlimited data. I wish I had. I stayed for the Epic 4G Touch and what a disappointment that turned out to be.
There's something wrong with your phone. I had a photon that the screen was like that, I had it replaced and the new one is great.

That wouldn't be anywhere near a good trade for you unless you are just trying to switch companies to AT&T. That is one of the low budget android phones and the photon is a top of the line phone. I would rather get a better phone with AT&T than that one.

BINGO!!
I agree with all you guy but there are a few thinks....
1.I was forced to sprint due to Divorced Parent
2.Forced to choose a phone and Couldnt wait for a Tegra 3
3.I'll admit the difference between the 2 phones
Samsung Captivate Glide Only Pro is Keyboard
Motorola Photon Better Battery Life,More Internal memory,Bigger Screen,More
So why am i still trying to trade when even i already admitted the Photon is better?
Cause i have a sibling that is willing to join my Father in sprint but i need to get my own GSM Phone (Tegra 2)
I would keep the photon if sprint would be nice to there PAYING customers and give the unlock code cause i know my father will eventually cut me off while out at sea and if i can join my mother's plan i need it unlocked, but as i said earlier sprint isn't friendly for that stuff. In the end its me holding a cut off phone and money wasted.
Dude, sprint is a company, personally, if my father gets more money from you with a CDMA contract... well thanks for buying my custom pc
Or you could just go buy a GSM chip and put it in the slot...
Unlock the boot loader and go download Kitchen sink. Then select GSM.
So stop complaining >.>

Personally i had a G2X which i admit in the wrong hands isn't a pleasant phone. I say shame on all those people who returned there due to the fact that don't understand tech and want simplicity. If you want simplicity get a iphone or learn the damn thing.
Due to have that phone i grown used the the smaller screen and prefer the size of the phone. So a equal to it is the SCG

The Razr is a better phone IMO. The Atrix is great and has served me well but I feel that the Razr is better if you can find one priced similarly to the Atrix. Also, the Razr feels better built than the Atrix. Maybe its just me against plastic, but Kevlar is way cooler. Both phones have awesome dev communities though.

Razr is defiantly the better phone, it also tends to cost more. For the price of Razr you can get Atrix plus lapdoc. So, it depends on your budget.
