you want to have updates, you buy a Nexus. You may have to avoid Verizon

13. RORYREVOLUTION posted on 18 May 2012, 17:06 5 0

yes AVOID Verizon. Nexus or not, VERIZON is the slowest to update their phones. Galaxy Nexus Verizon user here, still on 4.0.2. the same version it ran when it first came out 6 months ago. GSM and Sprint both have been updated Verizon's has NOT.

Well yeah, but even on 2.3 android's still better than WP7 and iOS. Though honestly, I'm kinda itching to give WP7 a whirl.

11. KingShango posted on 18 May 2012, 16:50 1 1

I'm leaning toward WP7 myself but now I'm worried that anything I buy this summer won't upgrade to WP8

14. RORYREVOLUTION posted on 18 May 2012, 17:08 3 0

I would at least wait for WP8 if you want to switch. I got a bad feeling most of the current line up devices won't be upgraded.

Android is the king my friend, after trying Microsoft products on my laptop and going through the "blue death screen" and os getting corrupted suddenly for no clear reasons, I'm a little bit afraid to use their phones. That's just a personal opinion I wanted to share.
Have a nice day.

I've got a few friends rocking wp7, Its a pretty slick OS. Easy to use once you get the hand of it and over all a pretty smooth experience. I dont think its for people who are serious about mobile tech but I dont think its something that should eb avoided at all costs.

theres this thing called "root" and a "custom rom"

44. PapaSmurf posted on 19 May 2012, 08:35 1 0

They're both flag ship phones in Moto's line up.

52. OptimusOne posted on 28 May 2012, 16:47 0 0

it even has 1 gb rom ram
rules out the 512mb of ram theory then

or maybe it's sprint

It's all about priority. Droid 4 is basically a "mid range" device while the RAZR/MAXX are well, at least for Verizon "high end".

19. mas11 posted on 18 May 2012, 17:28 3 0

They have the same processor and RAM. The only superior hardware on the RAZR is the 4.3” AMOLED screen.

21. KingKurogiii posted on 18 May 2012, 17:30 2 0

mas is right. i still think about getting a Droid 4 for myself.

I'm not talking about just specs Mas. I am talking about what they feel is their priority devices. The RAZR/MAXX is pretty much the most popular device on Verizon other than the Galaxy Nexus.

I understand your point, but look at what 3 devices Verizon is advertising in the new DROID DOES commercials. I believe Verizon prefers the RAZRs, but I don't think Verizon believes that the DROID 4 is a lower quality device.

because there's two versions of the Droid Razr and it's more popular.

What phone do you have?

27. hitechredneck posted on 18 May 2012, 21:46 0 0

I have a backflip been a pretty good phone.

30. mas11 posted on 18 May 2012, 22:26 1 0

There is no way that phone will get ICS. Any phone over 2 years old needs to be upgraded, since it is no longer supported. It's not a Motorola catering to Verizon issue here. If you want to stick with Motorola get the Atrix 2. It's only $20 through Amazon Wireless. That phone will get ICS. :)

if he has a Backflip then he's probably Grandfathered into Unlimited Data with AT&T and he should look into getting a phone outright from the Forums, Swappa, Craigslist or somewhere.

But yes, that is bassically it.

The 23rd hasn't come yet.
"The Razr *is* supposed to get ICS on the 23rd"

Teehee..

Because Verizon's implementation of LTE is for data only. Since LTE is a GSM technology and VZ has chosen to port data over the LTE and voice over CDMA, there's no way an LTE phone on VZ will be international. When VZ moves to voice over LTE it will be a different story.

43. gtrxman posted on 19 May 2012, 08:19 1 0

*NEWS FLASH* Droid Life is reporting that the RAZR and Rezound have embedded global radios not previously detailed in the specs, and that they will soon become GLOBAL phones.

46. KingKurogiii posted on 19 May 2012, 13:29 0 0

because there's not many that use 4G LTE outside of the U.S. and the International Markets made a good call not carrying that X2 trash.

Great choice. My original RAZR died an awful death (run over by a car) and I got the MAXX. This baby can go 2 full days (with careful use). I never worry about my battery any more. There is no excuse for any manufacturer not to have this much battery in a phone. An unexpected benefit is that the phone is actually better in the hand than the RAZR because the additional battery adds balance.

if you're going to flash an ICS leak make sure it's this one.
