bye bey Razr untill ... - Motorola Droid RAZR

Bye bye Razr forums
with special thanks to pedroterresfillo as he helped my several times to update and root this complicated phone
Iv bought the Samsung Galaxy S3 as not impressed with Motorola phones with the way motorola handles alot of things with regards to their phones
maybe in the future when they release the Razr HD Nexus quadcore if it has unocked bootloader I might be tempted back while i did love this phone i started to hate it for several reasons
If anyone wants to buy a unlocked sim free Razr boxed with all accessories in Uk as i will probably sell it now

Are you on Verizon? Because Verizon has come out and stated that the bootloader for the SG3 will NOT be unlocked, ever. The only way to get it unlocked is to switch carriers.
I know there was a news article a week or two ago about how someone talked with Verizon and asked about the unlocking of the SG3. Apparently, even though the person was told "yes, there will be an OTA to unlock the phone", the Verizon rep was talking about the SIMM card, not the bootloader.
Now, there is a developer edition to be released for Verizon that is to be released with an unlocked bootloader, but even Motorola did this with the RAZR Dev Edition, but when it was released overseas, it was still locked and apparently still is from what I understand.
So, if you are still with Big Red, you are in the same boat as you were with the RAZR. Verizon isn't allowing Samsung to unlock the bootloader for the SG3 on their network.However, Verizon has come out and said Samsung is the one not allowing the unlocking of the bootloader:

So, who is telling the truth? I don't know...

"what? I said I have a new phone. A new phone. Yes. What do you mean I sound garble? I said: I don't sound garbled! I do? IT'S NOT BROKEN! What? I sold the other phone. I SAID: I SOLD THE OTHER PHONE! What? I can't get it back. What?"
...been there, done that...

Good Luck with your SGS3. I bought one on launch day and returned it yesterday. Heres my very quick pro/con list of it:
Pros:
- TouchWiz was surprisingly much better than I thought
- Screen was bigger; phone didn't feel too big for my hands.
- Camera was awesome and extremely fast (Almost kept it because of this reason alone.... i find the Razr's camera to be too slow)
- Easily rootable
- I'd compare the SGS3 to an android variant of the iPhone. Simple to use, with a lot of customization available (even without rooting)
- Availability of accessories locally as the phone is available on all the major carriers.
Cons:
- Battery life was horrendous. If you look on the SGS3 forums you'll see people going "OMG BATTERY AWESOME" and see that their Cell Standby is the top of their battery usage list. My phone sits on my desk at work untouched and my razr is usually at 80% when i leave.... the SGS3 was 30% or below.
- Build quality is horrible. VERY CHEAP PLASTIC. I had it in a case and still felt like I could break it in one fall. I've never once had my razr in any case...
- THE LED NOTIFICATION IS BROKEN FOR USA VERSIONS. I mean, it works.... but you cannot currently change the color of any notification. If you try to, the light stays on permanently.
- Signal strength seemed lower in more places compared to the Razr, and the SGS3 had trouble holding onto LTE in low coverage areas.
Sorry, not trying to jack this thread... honestly..... but keep the above in mind while you're in your return window.

im in UK with a simfree version of the phone which comes unlocked and im pretty sure the bootlloader is unlocked here, One of the reasons i moved from GS1 and GS2 to the Razr was the build quality of Sammy phones was quite plasticy and poor , but the S3 is better then previous models it has a partial metalic side which does inprove the build quality slightly and combined with a good chrome metal back cover i purchased on amazon its made quite a difference to the build quality feel, the pros is better and battery life was not as good as Razr , but we had a ICS update a recently which has made a big difference there will soon be a 2500mah or 3000mah battery which i will buy to further enhance this phone
Wifi does drain alot of battery for some reason which is a concern for now even with update but im sure a custom rom or update to Jellybean which is due in August Sept will fix a lot more issues
I will miss my razr as it is a great phone for several reasons but its all about personal choice
