Default Moto DROID RAZR

There wasn't a thread on this new device, so I figured I'd start one.

I've always strayed away from Moto devices and have been eagerly waiting for the Vigor and Nexus Prime. That said, the DROID RAZR looks like a worthy competitor.

With competitive specs, a nice big screen and a 7.1mm thickness, it seems like an amazing device. I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts...

I will still wait for the Prime and Vigor, but this device is looking so damn good right now with my available upgrade. Pre-order starts the 27th, but it probably wont drop until early November. We'll see on the Prime dates tonight and hopefully learn of concrete Vigor dates soon.

I think it's by far the best Moto device. I still like the Rezound because of the 1.5Ghz processor and Beats, and I do like Sense. From time to time, I take a break from Sense to try the new CM or MIUI, but always end up coming back. Also, the Rezound and GNexus will come out on November 11th according to a Verizon roadmap. We'll get a confirmation on the GNex tonight.

Moto RAZR + Locked Bootloader = No Thank you



In all seriousness, this is probably the first Moto device that I would consider purchasing if it wasn't locked down. The specs are pretty nice and it's pretty thin...just like I prefer my ladies.

I also noticed on Droid Life the Razr went thru FCC with both LTE & GSM radios. That's pretty nice.

Completely agree... it is a great looking phone, but that cannot overcome the locked bootloader.

kuddos to motorola for making some nice improvements after the bionic fiasco.

I can't personally stand the look of it. I've never really liked Moto's design though. And that horrid UI thrown on top of it just doesn't do it for me. And no ICS as of right now? Locked bootloader? Pass, pass, pass...

Looks pretty awesome, but I cannot and will not buy a phone with a locked bootloader. If I was interested in being locked down, I would buy the 4S in a heartbeat. The other reason I can't justify the Razr is because of the qHD display while still costing as much as the Rezound and Prime.

According to one leak they are all out on the 10th of November. Can't wait to see them in person, I really think I am leaning towards the RAZR. In the back of my head I think about ICS and larger screen, but the smaller better looking RAZR has me interested. Hopefully the bootloader will be figured out soon enough.

Nope. On Endgadget and Co, most comments say that Motorolala's bootloaders are hardly "perfectly safe". I love that phone too, but I will have to pass, cause we will never see any custom rom on it.
