Basically, if Motorola doesn't upgrade your 2011 Motorola smartphone to Jelly Bean they will (most likely) give you a $100 credit towards a new phone. Limited details right now but I signed up for alerts. Rumors are X2 will be one of these phones.
So if you are looking to a new phone I would wait a few weeks. I'm probably going to be switching to the Razr Maxx HD (complicated name!) when it comes out and a $100 credit would be amazing!
Opinions? Anyone still use an X2 besides me?
I'm not so sure if it would be worth it. You need to trade in your old phone and the x2 is selling for at least 100 on swappa and other sites so why not choose cash over a gift card?

It's tempting...the $100 plus I do like how strong the build quality of this motorola phone is and the razr's do seem pretty tough as well, but I will probably pass and get something like a samsung note 2 or an htc incredible x that does/will have an unlocked bootloader. Plus I dont want to trade in my X2...rather keep it as a backup or wifi device that my kid can play on.

We're definitely not getting JB. $100 is nice, but it's probably towards only moto devices. Which is fine. Razr HD for me when my upgrade is active.

Wow that much? I paid $100 for mine...
Well I checked a few days ago and the were going for about 120 or 130

How long does the offer last? My upgrade isnt available until April of next year. $100 off a $550 phone is still expensive. I'll probably end up switching from Motorola anyway when the time comes.

Your upgrade should bring it down to $200, plus the $100 off. And since you have moto now, they should honor it well into next year. My upgrade is in March, but I might swing in around January and see if I can get it a month or two early.
Definitely sticking with moto. I've had numerous Samsung devices that I've needed to have replaced. Not a single problem with my DX2, and it takes a serious beating. Moto definitely makes the best physical handsets, period.

I agree about Motorola phones being built well. My x2 is over 8months and still looks new. I had the LG Ally before this and it was a good phone too...it looked brand new when I gave it away it just needed a new battery.

My DX2 also looks like it just came out of the box.
We still have an Ally getting used everyday in our household. It looks a bit worn, but not bad. It even survived a run in with a toilet, lol.
Just a bump with a story I read today
I saw this today in a Mozilla newsgroup and thought folks here would be interested.
Onto the story: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57526994-94/android-users-outraged-over-motorolas-broken-promise/
My X2 has been to the bottom of a local river on fishing/kayaking this year twice ! Never stopped working.....got a little glitch for a bit but kept on ticking. Still looks new also.....they are great devices. It will be hard to give mine back. But
with the work of DZK its made me want a phone capable of full Jelly capabilities.

I got my $100 credit towards the razr HD and it is sick. It is probably the best choice out there from Moto, and it makes the x2 look like a joke.

Has anyone seen a timeline on this? I'm not eligible for an upgrade until January--wouldn't want to miss out on this.
I've had my eyes on the Razr Maxx HD--wouldn't want to miss a free $100

Just to clarify, does the phone have to be returned to VZW in an unrooted state, for them to honor the $100 offer?

Ok on the 18th of October their will be mass depression from motorola razr xt910 xt912 devices as we will be ostersized ridiculed and nade to feel like bums and all because we will no longer have Motorola's flagship device. Many people will get depressed over being ostersized by the razr hd owners. Some og razr owners may need medical attention and all to over come this.

The local church by me is offering a 13 step program on Wednesdays if anyone is interested. Its before the AA meeting and after the drug addiction class at 7 o'clock if anyone is interested. I sat in on RAM ( razor Maxx anonymous) the other day just to see what it's all about. We cried, hugged, ate donuts. It was a nice change of pace from the bar scene. Ha ha

I don't know, it's like some mornings I wake up sobbing. Then I get this feeling of impending doom, like I'm all alone and no one cares. I used to have hope when I would click on system update and something would download or I would read about an upcoming update. Now Moto rarely writes, only if they need some money. They shroud the request by making it seem that the money would be for a new better phone. But I know what it's all about, they don't need me. Good bye cruel world, it's just me and my Maxx now.
Anyone got any coffee? Lol

are you holding onto false hope that moto will send you a big fat galaxy razr nexus? Verizon may not be open to the new nexus certified program as google will control the update process. As we know verizon like to control the update process just ask the galaxy nexus owners. Apple is the only one to get a pass on the update issue. Perhaps Google needs to make sure that all androids no longer have custom skins and they all run the stock android and if users want custom skins they can download them like how they download launchers from the store.
Ok it is now official we razr xt912 owners are no longer top dog. We are now reduced to a pile of crap as the new razr hd series is out today. The new flasgship owners will glare and snicker and taunt us xt912 owners. They tell us size does matter as their is bigger then ours.... Women will not start to drop us for razr hd owners as we are yesterdays news. We will need to take phoneagra from the makers of Viagra. We can kid ourselves that we can use the same launcher but its all about the screen and battery babby and that dual core s4 man! Them chicks dig that speedy duel core! I even hear of a report of a divorce being filed today that a women dumped her husband because he refused to get a razr hd so she dumped his azz. Oh the stigma...
we can kick their Ass only with Custom ROM's, hope we'll get more talented Developers.

But you gotta remember your married to RAZR for at least two years. Then you can file your upgrade papers, hope you have a pre-nup in place because if you divorce early you will pay a pretty penny in phone-amony

Haha , I guess you're right.
If I had that choice today I would pick Iphone. I have a RAZR and it's a fantastic phone, but after two years I'm bored with Android. I'd just do ios for a while for the variety.
If you're bored with Android you'll be really bored with an iPhone.
Personally, I would go with the Iphone 5 soley for the purpose of when you get bored with it after the first 17 minutes you'll be able to sell it for more.

I live in Canada and only the Verizon Razr and Razr Maxx work here ....or the Verizon iPhone
Definitely go for the iPhone. Like others have said, you'll get it out of tour system and then you can sell it for a profit and pick up the Maxx.
I'm serious about this. I went to an iPhone last week because I thought I was tired of android. Within 24 hours I ditched the iPhone and went back to android. I really felt claustrophobia with iOS...and in the past I have liked iOS! I doubt I will ever try that experiment again.

If the only option is he Razr Maxx (not HD) or the iPhone 5. Then the answer is iPhone 5.
I own a Razr Maxx and I wouldn't choose it over an iPhone, but you are asking which one, which means you aren't sold on either.
That being said. The Razr Maxs is the king when it comes to not needing a charger.
Is it still worth it to buy a RAZR coming from a thunderbolt? I know anything will be better then what I have now, but I want to keep my unlimited data. I'm mixed between the nexus and RAZR since they are both around the same price on eBay. I would prefer the large battery since I use my phone now as a hotspot.

I just came from a Thunderbolt to a RAZR. You may have even seen me in the forums there if you viewed them... I was very active. Needless to say, it's worth it to try a RAZR. Compared to how the Thunderbolt was made, this phone physically feels cheap in your hand... but it's no competition to the Bolt.
I'd try it out if I were you. With you also being a Thunderbolt user, especially after who knows how long, I'm sure you'll have a pleasant experience.

If you don't play heavy games, the RAZR MAXX will do very well. If you like to play too though, better pick the Razr Maxx HD because the chip is newer. Not that the RAZR Maxx can't handle, but it show it's age like when playing the Iron Man 3 for example.
Thanks for the input. In have had the TB to long, since it was released.

Definitely a great upgrade from a TBolt. It's still a top phone going over a year and a half now. Dual core 1.2 and a decent screen. They only thing I would want upgraded (still content with) is the screen. It could be more HD. The battery is ok being has I have an OG Razr. I definitely recommend the MAXX if it is in your budget. I came from Droid 2.

The screen on this XT912 RAZR is MUCH better than the Thunderbolts. This screen is amazing.

Well i'd rather go for a Nexus 4 or a Maxx HD.
I, too, had a Thunderbolt since the day it was released, but inherited my wife's XT912 a couple of months ago, after she upgraded to a Note 2. Since HTC released ICS for the TB, I've been occasionally switching back to the old' "Bolt" every now and then, and its still really quite useful. I would get a RAZR Max HD, if you can afford it, as I am underwhelmed by the poor camera on my Razr Maxx.

Well yea it is. I'm saying the only thing I really want to improve on this phone is the screen. In no way was I comparing it to the Tbolts screen.
