it is time for me to replace my fascinate. I am on verizon and plan on staying there. I have looked at the options and I think I have norrowed it down to the razor maxx or the nexus S. what do you guys think?
Razor Maxx or Nexus S?
- Thread starter ljbrenes
- Start date
If I was upgrading now, and couldn't wait until later this year, I would pick the Nexus, simply because of the development opportunities. Razor is sweet, I like the HTC Rezound too, but the Nexus was built for rooting and Romming, etc. And I am a fan of Samsung phones...later this year, when I am eligible for my upgrade, I'm hoping the GSIII will be an option as well. The GSII is my favorite device on the market right now.
Google discontinued support for CDMA. So everyone that got nexus as a development phone is now screwed. Sorry everyone, good luck.
Oh, and BTW, don't ever buy a Motorola,....they SUCK

My wife picked up a Razr Maxx a week ago. Actually I think it's a nice unit. Some of the V-bloat, like games can be uninstalled (she's not a big Madden 12 fan. LOL). The Verizon stuff can be "hidden" from appearing in the app drawer.
Motocast seems to be a nice feature, with the Moto program on our desktop she can access shared folders on the PC with her phone over wi-fi or 3G/4G from anywhere.
Smart Actions is similar to a Tasker app but with a graphical UI. You have Triggers and Actions. Very easy to use. We set up one so that when she leaves work to drive home, any incoming phone call or text message, Voice anounces the callers name and sends an Auto reply txt message that says, "I'm driving right now. I'll get back to you ASAP".
The battery is a monster. She fiddled with the phone all day Sat and still had 60% that night. We only have 3G service right now where we live but when battery sucking 4G is available I'm sure the extra mAh will come in very handy, especially as the phone ages.

well discontinued support is misleading in a way...source code will still be pushed and available for developersGoogle discontinued support for CDMA. So everyone that got nexus as a development phone is now screwed. Sorry everyone, good luck.

basically they are just not "officially" calling it a supported phone because of the proprietary files for the radio/lte that they do not have the rights too (google that is) and because of that they feel they cannot truly support it
but the status quo in regards to source roms and the like wont change
Might wanna do your research. They said that for ALL CDMA bases Nexus devices, the nexus one, the nexus s 4G, the LTE Galaxy Nexus and the LTE Motorola Xoom.Google discontinued support for CDMA. So everyone that got nexus as a development phone is now screwed. Sorry everyone, good luck.

The only thing they aren't supporting is end users building AOSP for it. Google themselves will still be releasing official updates.

I'm gonna pretend I didn't just read what I think I read in an Android forum - iSomething - and recommend the Galaxy Nexus.

If galaxy s 3 comes to Verizon, it is supposed to have a quad core and all the other bells and whistles. I suggest that
