I just ordered a Droid Razr and was wondering if there is going to be large development community? Anybody showing interest?

I have also ordered 1 droid razr soon i will get one
I have also ordered one so there's at least three of us now.......
dev support should be there
Considering the bootloader will be unlocked everywhere except in the USA, the dev support should be pretty good. It is just a matter of circumventing the bootloader before the Americans can fully join the party. Also, I doubt it will be exclusive to VZW for long, so the Americans could join in then too.
I have also ordered one so I'm the fourth
I think you all are wrong....i bought atrix 6 month ago, i bouth a photon 1 month ago, now i have droid 3 and still no development for motorola phones

But you have to keep in mind that ATRIX was first released in AT&T (As far as I know no one loves AT&T in America) and it was released LATER in other places with a high price to the point where no one was interested
Droid 3 is only USA and Photon isn't that much of international
But expect WAY TOO BIG support for RAZR as it's literally being released everywhere, even north Africa - Sudan and Egypt. It's THAT big, it's everywhere, it should have a gigantic support.
I'm probably getting the phone too but I don't know **** about developing so don't add me with y'all.
Ordered mine yesterday with Optus Business Australia
Woot Woot!!!
Ordered mine couple of days ago. Should arrive sometime next

Does this mean we can expect a Nigerian 419 ROM?

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool this is hilarious.
I live in Cyprus and I'm thinking about buying it (international version unlocked bootloader), but I prefer custom roms, opinions about being worth it or not...
Moved to proper forum.
I think the RAZR will get lots of dev's. The atrix has picked up quite a bit since it first came out.

I just got motorola razr today so happy ,from Australia
I received shipping conformation. Scheduled delivery is tomorrow!!!!!!
(I feel like a kid on Christmas eve)
So i was thinking of getting one of these two phones and would really appreciate some user experiences and opinions.
GS2 costs 350€ and nexus is 450€ so that makes the galaxy s2 more appealing. Also the nexus might have screen that's a little too big already, but the concern with gs2 is the resolution, were it qHd I would have already gotten it!
Anyway i wouldn't want to spent more than 375€ on the phone, 350€ would be best. And if you have ordered from ebay etc. I'd also like to now about that since could probably get them cheaper from there. Are the phones in ebay UK international versions that work here in Finland too?
Thanks in advance!

GALAXY NEXUS - for its fastest OTA update and great developper support

If your budget is restricted to 350€ then you should go for GS2 as it is most surely gonna get jellybean update before November{ no official announcement yet } and most probably that will be last update for it...
G-Nexus has higher resolution and Google Support and gets the updates very early and surely will be upgradable to next Android Version..
Both phones have Great Developer Support here at XDA
If you don't plan on rooting it, I will way nexus because of the updates. If ur gonna root I'm not really sure

Awesome! I am loving mine for sure as is my co-worker who I recommended one to and my brother in law.
I do love my LGOG. It's even better with all the tweaks that have become available over the past two weeks. I can't wait to see what's available in the future.
I am trying to decide on either keeping my new s4, which I'm having a ton of fun with and really like, or returning it and going back to my iPhone 5. The iPhone is always supported my developers and by Apple to keep the phone working well throughout the 2 year contract. I'm mostly worried about how fast android manufacturers are moving and just don't want to get stuck using a phone that doesn't have any support after 6 or even 12 months.
Look at the galaxy s3! Been out for quite some time and is still fully supported, by Samsung and the rom community. So stop deliberating. You have a flagship phone, they tend to be supported for a while.

forever!
...well maybe not forever, but at least for another few years. it's mass produced with very good hardware. and it has AWS (the next gen wireless technology) which is the first of it's kind on the verizon network. those things should keep it in people's hands for a while.

How long do you all plan on keeping your galaxy s4? Do you all keep your phones for the 2 years that most of us sign up for?
I think I get a new phone every 6-12 months! I just like new technology.. I just ditched my s3 yesterday and just picked up the s4. Couldn't be happier.

It will be officially supported for at least 18 months, and most likely longer.

Many galaxy s2 phones just recently got updates, so that would put Samsung atleast a 2 year support window. It was supported from gingerbread to ICS now to jellybean. I wouldn't worry about getting manufacturer support during your contract. As a bonus, Verizon has been improving its own update timeline. I think we will be golden.
Of course that does not take into account the ROM dev community support. The galaxy line of phones typically sees amazing adoption and continuing support. Unless Sammie and Verizon really crack down on locking us down, our devs should be able to keep us moving forward.

just look at the HP Touchpad.............. ha ha
Other than Jailbreaking, for non-Apple sanctioned app stores, what kind of developer support does the iPhone get? Seems to me like you're stuck with Apple's version of iOS, no matter what.
Thanks for the replies. I guess I'm just worried about having a phone that in a year or so will be out of date and just don't want to be stuck.

I hear you....iust got the S4 and only had my Note 2 since February. Gonna run with both for a while or until the Note 3.

Hopefully not TOO long since they screwed the S3 up with their most recent update. We got extra bloat and some of the fluff from the S4 like the resource hogging multi window (perhaps not the best app for a dual core). Not to mention radio reception got worse along with battery life.
Samsung tends to give good support. With a flagship across all the major carriers the s4 will see amazing dev support.

Being a Galaxy device, it won't get dumped in less than a year like an htc device

Just noticed this and had to clarify that the S4 is not Verizon's first AWS device... not even close. It's one of seven that they're currently selling, and came to market a good six months after their first.

Until the S5
It will definitely be at least supported until the next Galaxy, and following the pattern that is likely to be next year. In addition to that, it will likely be supported for quite some time after because not everyone can get the new devices as soon as they come out. My guess would be at least anther six months, probably more. So if you are wondering if the S4 will last you until your next upgrade, I would say it is very likely that it will.

apples and orangutans. the aws implementation is just one of the reasons this device should see a wealth of support for a while.

i should have said one of the first. you're correct there are several aws devices on verizon, but no handsets yet. the s4 will be in the first batch of phones to be lte and aws compatible.
the great hardware and large number of s4 sold (in user's hands) will be the main driver for having this phone supported for some time.
Hello all. As you may know Christmas has come and the devices as well. I will be moving on to a Nexus 5. I just want to thank all of the developers for their work. It was amazing seeing how long a device can still last. I will miss this thread as were this is were I started. So farewell and I hope you all have a very Jolly Christmas! :thumbup:

I left the original Note a little under a year ago for the Nexus 4, and LTE was the only thing I really wish the Nexus 4 had, the rest was a whole lot better on the Nexus. I too upgraded to a Nexus 5 this Christmas, and am glad to be back on LTE again. With the new cheaper non-contract device pricing on AT&T, the Nexus 5 becomes a must have upgrade, as the phone is cheaper in the long run, in addition to being much better supported.
