Tired of waiting for ICS and succumbed to Samsung's new offering, I sold my RAZR and bought a Galaxy S III.
No more a disgruntled user. I am a happy user now
I'll be back when RAZR HD is released as a world phone equipped with MAXX battery, until then farewell!
Then when jellybean is released you will be disgruntled again lol
Unhappy user is unhappy.
Too bad unhappy user will never be happy (there's always something better than what he has).
I wont buy mot again, unless they unlock the bootloader.

Oh, no this again. This is the "I still want to be friends" speech once more. You found a new phone and we're getting kicked to the curb. Well, I hope you and your new phone are very happy together.
I should tell you that I've heard stories about her. She's very loose once she's had too much data. Word has it her unprotected browsing activities left her with a really nasty virus. I just want you to be safe.

Goodbye.

In some way i understand and even envy you. GSIII is far more superior than RAZR, with hardware and software.
Software update from samsung? And who need it today, if there is large XDA movement. New roms, roots method, great camera mod from yesterday. If samsung does not provide JB for gs3, developers form here will do it!
And what we have? Nice, slim (only original razr) phone with locked bootloader and webdock app, that 97% of users do not use because absence of dock.
Motorola will forget about this phone when 4.0.4 will be aired (someday, if they don't forget), and there is no visible chances for unlocked bootloader, although motorola promised this (i bet there is a inside joke about this in their company).
I am afraid, that motorola can jump with something stupid, after release of the RAZR HD.

Can you root a stock Samsung phone now without having to deal with that "Rage against the Cage" nonsense? Tried it once on my wife's Facinate and my anti-virus program wouldn't let Rage run, even when I disabled it. (I know there are ROM's with pre-rooted Kernels you can flash. Just flashed rooted GB 2.3.5 kernel to my Galaxy Tab.)

But all that aside, I checked out the razr today & plan on comparing it to the Rezound next week. My bottom line is reception & my x2 has never failed me where my wife's dinc hasn't been too impressive so htc might not be the best for me.

Rage in the cage new? Never had to use it. First root ever was a one click root i found somewhere. Then i used Odin to flash the stock froyo pre-root. I believe i seen a pre-root GB stock over there, too.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
I believe "Rage against the Cage" is the exploit scheme that they used on the Samsung one-click boot process. It's been about 6 months since I've tried to root the Facinate, so my memory is sketcy. The upside is that, as you mentioned, there are probably a lot of pre-rooted ROM offerings that can be easily flashed with Heimdall (or Odin, if yer into that).
I agree Sammy makes a good phone. Wife loves her Facinate. Sadly, the Galaxy II never made it to Verizon, but now lots of folks are waiting for the Nexus, which should be out around the end of the month. But I also like the Moto Droid line, now that we've been given some developer attention. The hardware is top notch, and my X2 is running VERY snappy and stable on Moto-Ginger-Funk v7a. I have no reason to want to trade up for a long while yet (unless Google cannot get a handle on their funky Market issue).
Droid Razr looks very sharp (sorry for the pun). I'm a little afraid of the non-removeable battery, though. There are loads of times that I have recoved my X2 from brink of "brickhood" just by pulling the battery and booting into recovery.
I'm not too crazy about the Razr's non-detachable battery. All too often taking the battery out and putting it back in seems to solve a problem, without having that ability on the Razr I'm somewhat concerned.
Odin=Heimdall but for diff operating systems, i believe. When my contract is up, I'm looking into sprint if vzw isn't allowed to launch the SGSII. And no, i have no intentions of turning this thread into a "who it's better sprint or vzw". Carry on w/ upgrade discussion...

I'm pretty sure that the razr has a failsafe two buttons u.press to kill battery connection or something similar
.like a "hard kill" switch.
I am upgrading to the ReZound Monday. There are more reasons not to get the Razr, than there are to get it lol. If you are in an X2 now, you are better off either keeping it and riding out your time, or getting the ReZound/Nexus, at least right now.

What led you to the Rezound? Beats audio or the the display?
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Well, the headphones alone carry a very hefty price, so getting them "free" for the same price as the other phones is a good incentive(probably why they aren't advertising the phone). I already have the SkullCandy Titan Earbuds, so I really don't NEED the Beats Audio ones. But, the camera's on it are both better. The screen resolution is on par with the nexus on a DX2 size screen. Removable battery, SD storage, unlockable BL, 1.5GHz processor.. Basically, the only "feature" it doesn't carry is the super slim design, and who gives a **** if the phone is lacking in so many other categories? lol.
My moms Stock Inc2 walked all over my X2 with Eclipse before I even put CM7 on it for her! HTC is doing all the right things, even with Sense. Too many people complain about Samsung, and I lived in Korea for 2 years from 07-09, we are getting their leftovers over here(Thanks FCC/FTC, and assholes running patent wars..Apple).
Yeah Im gonna look into adding a line soon. Not sure if I'm going to resound or nexus yet
Rezound looks sick. As does nexus(ICS!) but I can see resound getting ics eventually.
ha. HTC edge I thought about until I saw it was Tegra. I will wait for reviews on that before even trying it lol. This phone has lowered my expectations for tegra devices lol

We did that actually, got the original DX the day they came out. Loved em. I moved from a bb curve and she from a Moto rokr. When the DX gb bugs hit we were offered DX2s and took them since we had the car docks etc. Didn't feel like switching 100 worth of accessories.
AtLemacks right, seems that the Razer with limitations or something without. Hardware is close enough on either one. Why move to another Moto and keep banging your head against the wall like we do daily.

No batter has been no problem. Hold down the vol up and power for 8 seconds and it does the same as pulling the battery. There have been 2 new ROMs added for the CDMA version in the last week over at droidrzr.com and both rock.

The nexus felt cheap to me. ICS is coming to the razr soon enough, besides id rather they work all the bugs out before pushing it to the razr. As you stated the signal strength is a problem with the nexus. Also no usb mass storage and no sd card slot factored into my decision. The hardware is basically the same. Also i might be a little bias towards Motorola as every Motorola device ive owned has been top notch.
I am sure many will disagree with me, but I preferred the razr over the nexus.

I totally agree with you. Motorola makes some solid phomes. I owned the atrix 4g and I loved it. The last Samsung phone I had was the captivate and it was one horrible esperience. Yellow screens, poor battery life, GPS broken, and many more. The nexus does feel cheap but sits nicely in my hand I can type with one hand with is a big plus. While I tried holding the razor and it felt akward in the hand. I also seen that the phone is too skiny wide to type with one hand. Well we'll see. I'm waiting on the maxxx gonna check it out and make my final decision. Thank you guys for all the answers. Really helped me out.

I had a Gnex but returned last week. I loved owning an unlocked device (and playing with various roms), but the poor phone radio and battery life killed me. Jumping on the RazrMaxx on Thursday.
It's a real shame about the Razr. I do really like Motorola devices, but without a unlockable bootloader I just can't purchase it. ICS on my Nexus S has spoiled me.
My RAZR has had great battery life...much better than my wife's iPhone 4. I like the Verizon network so unlocking isn't a concern here. I agree the thinness of the phone was awkward but I put an otter box on anything over 199.00 lol But I can't say I would switch if i already had either the Nexus or RAZR. Too much of a hassle. Hope you enjoy whatever you choose.

So everything online (which, as everyone knows, is NEVER wrong) says that the Droid Fighter will come out April 12. Any news on this device? I know its suppose to be basically a RAZR MAXX with an HD screen, but any more hardware specs? I have a Galaxy Nexus now and its just not doing it for me. My wife has a RAZR and its much more fluid in operation. And its had 3 (or soon 3) updates and the 'Pure' google device had 1 (official) on release day. Last night at dinner at a fine Italian restaurant (Olive Garden...Woohoo!) her phone was pulling 3 bars on 4G, while mine was bouncing between 1 bar 3G and 1X. Not even a reboot helped. I actually have unofficial ICS 4.0.4 on it with updated radio's, but as you can see, it still sucks.

Sorry for your troubles, but I did get a chuckle from this.
I'm waiting for this too. The leaked picture shows April 12 release date. Most people seem to think it is an announcement or training day for the employees. I think it WILL come out on the 12th as the four other devices in the picture are already out and were released on the days pictured on the leak.
No news so close is a little discouraging though.

Welcome to my world. Bought the RAZR on release day. Few weeks later the white one came out. Few weeks after that the MAXX came out.
I wish all the people that had the Droid RAZR and Droid RAZR MAXX could trade up for a fee. I would do it in a heartbeat.
I know about the phone and I even got to see one. ( I know a guy who works for the big red.) It will be bigger than you think.

Looking forward to this. I got my Razr Maxx last Tuesday. I have till the 17th for a full refund and May 1 for an exchange. Hopefully it'll work with the Razr Maxx vehicle dock and have a microSDHC(XC) slot.
I hope they will give me one on 4/11/2012 for all the crap I have had to deal with.
When I got to see it, I think it has a 1.5Ghz cpu, but I don't know if it is OC TI or S4.( Good day I hope it's a S4.)
It will be bigger than the Gneuxs, but I did not do and side by side or really get to use it so I don't know all that much. I wish I could have held it and benched that son of a gun.

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.
Cheers

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.

Is anybody thinking of making the switch from their current RAZR/RAZR Maxx?
I don't even see why they made the RAZR HD, it only makes sense to get the Maxx HD in my opinion.
Much as I love the improvements on the new RAZR phones I don't know if the changes are significant enough for me to change phones.
The Galaxy Note 2 looks like a beast, only thing for me is that I don't know how comfortable it will be in my pocket. I've held the first NOTE, although it is huge I can still hold it and use it decent. Just carrying it around seems like a hassle.
I have an AT&T upgrade sitting there and am eyeing the Note 2...but my GSM MAXX + Nexus 7 works fine as-is. Also, the Lumia 920 looks interesting.
Whatever gets my upgrade will be the best possible device out there. We shall see.
Going to look at buying the galaxy note 2, unless rumors start to drop about a nexus device from moto/google.that has as good as specs as gn2.

I am hoping we'll see the next Google phone made by more than one manufacturer. I would definitely look at the Motorola one if the specs were right.
It wouldn't surprise me one bit if Verizon didn't get the next google phone since big red is totally against development and locking boot loaders. Android is Open Source, it's suppose to be developed on!! Now Verizon needs to approve android updates too? That's bull crap.
I have been in love with the note ever since it was announced.
This Motorola has the best reception and GPS of any phone I have had though so the new RAZR hd maxx is in the running too.
I exercise with my phone so something too big might not work that well.
I don't think a computer would be necessary after the note though.

I have plans of getting the note 2 when it drops. Only problem is I will be paying full price since I don't want to lose my unlimited with Verizon

I know that sucks but it's so worth it for unlimited data on Verizon's 4G LTE, it's fast where I live. After you get the Note 2 just sell your current phone online.

Depending on price and avaibility i would change my razr maxx for a hd maxx
I'm really excited about the MAXX HD, but not sure if it's coming to Malaysia.
Not really a fan of the note, though. Too big for my hands, and head.
Im switching to sgs3 im done with moto Don't matter how good the phone is i will never buy a moto phone again.

If it's because of the locked boot loaders, Verizon is locking down Samsung phone's too. Probably all their Android phones now. For me, Motorola has it's pros and cons. I mainly chose my Maxx for the wireless radio and battery life. But I do miss the Samsung camera on the last phone I had. And Samsung software is smoother too.
im not that rich so ill be getting the Atrix hd

That's not my case i live in puerto rico and we get the international phones so no Verizon excuse for moto and yes i will never buy a moto again because of The bootloader and their lies about unlocking and then screwing everybody with a developers edition.

Go for the galaxy note 2. It looks crazy powerful, and with a huge 3100 mAh battery.

I think the Note 2 might be good for you. Samsung phones are easy to root and flash stuff on in general without the locked boot loader.
I'm going for Note 2 just waiting for the pre-orders to open here to get mine.

Razr HD/ HD Maxx: Yes. I like the new hardware design and big battery is a plus. The main disappointment is the AMOLED screen. Why cant they just use the screen on the Atrix HD??????
Note 2: Nope. Anything made by Samsung is a no go. ANd their fan boys are like nazis trolling around the internet bully everyone whose preferences differ from them.

They're using Super Amoled HD for the RAZR HD & Maxx HD. The same display that's on the GS3. I like it personally. It's a lot better than any qHD or pentile in my opinion.

I will get the Razr HD with its cool kevlar coating. Amoled HD display will just be beautiful, no doubts with that.
