Hello guys, i want your opinion about this. I have a Photon 4g that i buy from ebay - i am in Europe . The phone its great but i like to trick it with roms and stuff so my greatest concern is that there is not Warranty coverage in EU (i bricked it once so i have to send to some friends in USA - it took 3 months to take it back)
So i was thinking to sell it and put some more money (not very much) and to buy the Razr xt910 (EU warranty, Amoled, ICS ect) .
My problem is that when i go to one store to compare them i saw that the Razr is not better than Photon - but not at all !
So i want your opinion on this issue, what to do ?
Thank you, Johnny !

I was one of the early adapters who paid full price for it. Been waiting for 3 months for the promised bootloader unlock solution but instead of solution, motorola just made me feel stupid with my money. Check out the following thread for the words of treachery.

Honestly, whenever i take my xt910 outta my pocket, i remember i was cheated. I will probably buy used atrix or photon.
Happy days to everyone with their Razrs.

Why don't you just root & download & flash 2.3.6?
It's not that hard. 2.3.6 is visually different but I don't see a grat improvment over 2.3.5.
Stop fretting, Your not missing much.
Enjoy the Razr

Get the Razr dude.
Beautiful screen, a bit faster processor, ICS (we're getting ours in Q4 which is so far away), it's WAY thinner.
I don't see why are hesitating.

The screen sucks. Amoled is horrible in my opinion! Haha. The razr is probably better with everything else though!

I don't understand what it is you're seeing about the Razr Developer Edition that isn't better than the Photon. It's everything the Photon is and then some. Better CPU, battery, lighter, thinner, stronger (Kevlar), AND has an unlocked bootloader!
The RAZR is so awful that I bought a Photon to get away from it. Loved the Photon.
RAZR MAXX could be worthwhile for the brute force approach to battery life, otherwise avoid. Screen is hideous, battery on regular flavour is atrociously poor, bootloader is locked down tight and the ICS upgrade is a long time coming. Aside from the gorgeous industrial design, there is nothing to recommend about the RAZR.

You might want to check motodev on that unlocked bootloader. A number of folks there have complained about getting the Dev Edition with locked bootloaders.

I made that exact switch 4 or so months ago. The razr maxx is much better phone, but still holds the typical motor quality pieces like: top notch radio/cell quality and build construction.
However, if rom tweaking is important the same I would look at a different phone, and as the razr does not have a ton of development with the bootloader being locked. But in my opinion, it is the best out of the box android I have ever had, and so development is not a necessity.

If you really want to enjoy flashing rom, kernel and other mod i think you should see other companies. Motorola have the locked bootloader and therefore there are less people willing to spend their time on development.
You should check htc or samsung that have a large community behind their phone
I too switched from the Photon to the RAZR in November, and have to agree with the posts above me... They are similarly awesome for phones, but not great for tweaking. There are multiple sites with roms, though. Google RAZR rom to see some of them, then decide.
droidrzr.com has some pretty good work done outside of our dedicated devs here (some are on both).

Do you have lte? If yes, I'd jump on Razr in a heartbeat. Razr Maxx will give you excellent battery life. Worth looking into.
After a year and then some, I'm signing off on the RAZR. I just got the Sony xperia zr. The battery is not a patch on the maxx but I needed a phone that was faster and the RAZR was just getting a little too slow.
So with a heavy heart, I move on. If anybody in India wants to buy a rooted RAZR maxx that's a little bruised, hit me up in a pm. Otherwise, I wish everyone here the best. I'm sure I'll be back if and when Motorola decides to reenter the Indian market.
Till then, it is adios from me on this forum. It's been an awesome run and I learnt so much in the past year from the awesome devs here. Wish you guys the best.
Cheers,
Djpeesh

awesome news, hope they launch world phones in india
there is a dearth of cdma phones with no telecom company or handset manufacturer offering goods handsets for the cdma crowd.
Being camped for new phone for 8 months, i'm waiting for motorola just because i want my phone to be a motorola that's why i am still sporting with my trusty Razr. I recently changed the battery and i have a RAZR MAXX now, it is a different experience.I easily get 2 days even if i play games for hours, watch videos and 3g browsing. Have no fear of empty battery. It is a good reason for me to stay with it until new motorola line up appears.
I even just bought a new Droid Razr white for my wife. So,I use her Droid Razr Maxx now. It's a 'lil bit slow but it's still acceptable for daily use and it's a 2011 lineup so I don't complain much about it. I love its build quality and design. It's still the lovable design android phones for me. If you got a new phone,don't sell it. Keep it always coz its design is the best around.

Yeah just got ahold of a brand new white razr myself. Sure you could say it's a little bit dated from a hardware standpoint, but damn right it's still able to hold its own against the competition, I'm saying this coming from several iphones - not that these are references either but I'm enjoying my razr so far. And yeah it absolutely blows in white. Would have loved to get the battery longevity of the Maxx but aside from the battery, both phones are exactly the same and it did not justify the steep extra cost for me.
I am moving on from RAzr as well, i am considering to go for xperia zl....

Still the same ... batterielife ist awsome
Yep. The battery in the maxx still brings me back to this forum. But I tried using it today and somehow it just doesn't appeal to me anymore.
The laggyness just kills the goodwill of the battery. But given that the Sony xperia zr doesn't have a forum on xda, I miss being part of the modding scene.
So expect me to pop up once in a while out here. And don't hold your breath on Motorola coming back to Asia. Still not on their radar apparently.
