Motorola teasing us with "Faster. Thinner. Smarter. Stronger," could be the new Droid RAZR

No, but if someone tries to cut you, you can parry with this phone.

ya this is what sucks about buying android from verizon/tmobile… there is literally a better phone every month… at least sprint and att let you feel like youve had ur phone for a little while before a better one comes out…

I don't know how I feel about that statement. That seems to be one of the biggest complaints I read about on PhoneArena... Android coming out with too many phones.

There are two ways to look at this:

1. It is absolutely terrible that the "new" phone I just bought is no longer "new".

2. INNOVATION IS INCREDIBLE.


Me, I like innovation. More than I like being the dude with the "new" phone. To each his own.

Its not just about being the guy with the "new" phone. It's also about getting your money's worth. If you pay $300 dollars for a phone, you want it to be the best damn thing out there for that price. Yet in two months a much better phone comes out. Feels like you're being scammed because there's no way you can get that new one.

Exactly. The idea behind being an "early adopter" is that you get to enjoy the product for a significantly longer time than those who wait. If a superior product comes along 6 weeks later, you didn't have long to benefit.

I understand what you are both saying, but what I do not understand is this:

If your definition of "benefit" is that you get to enjoy the product "for a significantly longer time than those who wait" then you very much do want to be "the dude with the new phone".

If your definition of "benefit" is that you get to enjoy the features of the phone, then that benefit only expires when you decide you want more features.

You cannot blame innovation for the fact that you are not satisfied unless you have "the best".

Welcome to the world of technology. This happens with everything. Cars, boats, motorcycles, bicycles, skateboards, toys, washing machines, refrigerators, microwaves, computers, stoves, ovens, vacuums, mobile phones......etc! This is the nature of the tech beast. Just get what you like because if you keep waiting you will never get anything! I love the innovation & the way I see it is, that when I get a new phone in June of 2012 there will be stuff out then that will make today’s phones look like little toys. Can you say quad-core phones in June of 2012? I know I can! lol I agree with iamcc!

Also, I just bought a VW Jetta in April. It was brand new. I am already seeing commercials for other cars with more features for the same or less money.

Am I upset about my purchase? No.
Am I jealous of the people who buy cars today and have more features than my 2011 Jetta? Maybe.
Am I being SCAMMED? No.
Do I live in a ever-changing ever-improving world where technology is constantly improving? Yes!

That was my whole point. Let's just put it this way, in 2007 I bought a 2499 square foot home for 157,000 dollars. It was brand new & I saw it get built. Today you can get the same size home with better appliances, & the house will be energy star certified, has hardwood floors, & granite countertops all included at the same price I paid. I had to add all that stuff after market. Am I mad no, but it shows how things advance & technology is greatly improving. & by this I mean the energy star certification & the new appliances. That tech can save you thousands on your energy bill throughout the life time of the home.

also known as a recession, innovation tends to boom within these times.

Get an iPhone dude. They release new 'old' phone every year. You'll get your money's worth with that.

If this phone had the same screen as the prime I would get it without any doubt.
