Am I the only one who thinks the RAZR will be better than the GNex?

Well the Droid RAZR has an OMAP4 4430 vs the Galaxy Nexus' OMAP4 4460, which can outperform the 4430 and be clocked higher. The Droid RAZR's GPU (304 Mhz) is clocked slower than the Galaxy Nexus' GPU (384 MHz). The Droid RAZR has a qHD screen vs the the Galaxy Nexus' HD screen.

When you look at the entire package that both phones offer it comes down to a matter of personal preference. Do you want to be one of the cool kids on the block with phone that has a stainless steel core and kevlar backing? Do you want to be the first to taste the latest version of Android?

4 me, "being first" is never part of the equation or something I need. It's what fits my actual needs best vs a "spec war' or being first. The performance of both phones will certainly be spectacular...

Well the Droid RAZR will be the first high-end rugged smartphone, and you'll be among the first to have it lol.

I agree it would be alot differentvif both were launched with ICS but as it is only the gn, and it will probly be 3rd 4th quarter 2012 before razr gets ics. I just read a post saying what phones sammy would release ics on but said it would be 2nd quarter 2012, isnt sammy known for getting early releases? I could be wrong? But there are still phones with no official gb... So i cant see getting a razr n saying , o but when ot gets ics.... While it may be better.. (then...and not saying it will.... Who knows) the fact is iy could be a year before it gets it, who knows what new toys will be out by then. Im not saying dont get razr, but dont get it on the bank that it will have ics within a month r so

I thought the rumor going around that both Bionic and Razr would get ICS update. There was a FB or Tweet from Moto that said so, not hard facts and a lot of the sites have been saying the Razr would get ICS update in January.

But on another note u have the 2 backwards about updates. Moto always does a decent job and its sammy that takes forever. Remember the Fascinate? My D1 came out way before it, got more updates then it and is running a higher version of software then the Sammy got OTA. Anyone that has a Fascinate will tell u Sammy dropped the ball on that phone not to mention it felt like garbage.

As far as the Razr and GN, I thank its whatever ur tastes r, I'm a Moto fan boy so ima wait and see what reviews each get once they r out and make a final decision but as far as right now the GN edges it out for me mostly cause it has ICS and I want it now.

Sorry if i got it wrong about who gets updates first.. i thought sammy.. but really i guess each phone updates differently. And im sure there will be leaks n ports, i had d2 and loved it, i just hate vzw is locking this phone, especially since over seas will b unlocked.

I really think the RAZR will be a better phone once it gets ICS. It looks better to me, its different and its bares the name RAZR. Although the Nexus will be vanilla which is a huge plus when it comes to updates or simply being first, but I actually don't like the look of vanilla phones from Android. This will be different and great but it looks a little boring to me. I think Motorola will skin this nicely. Anyway I maybe just the only one because the Nexus Galaxy doesn't look all that great. Imagine it with GB lol.

Yes you are the only one ;-)

Motorola has been the best about updating their phones to the latest version of Android next to the Nexus phones, which are update by Google first. Just about all of Motorola's (then and now) high-end phones that were released are running official Gingerbread. The ones that aren't running it had their updates pulled to do more work on. Aside from that Motorola has been the most aggressive company in pushing out maintenance updates; the Nexus phones mainly just get the latest version of Android (2.3, 2.3.2, 2.3.4, etc.) but Motorola gets around to pushing out updates to the latest version of Android far better than the others...and their GPS works lol. The thing that attracted me to Motorola was that every time I turned around one of their phones was getting a maintenance update. I'd rather have my phone running like a champ rather than just running the latest version of Android (and of course I'd take both in a heartbeat).

Hello all. I think I'm going to get the GN if Costco gets them in but I just wanted to say this: The Droid RAZR has an OMAP 4460! I don't know why people are going around saying it has the 4430; it doesn't! That's all :)

Motorola initially listed the Droid RAZR as having a 4430. They then switched the listing to 4460 (which caused all of the hoopla I presume), then they switched the listing back to 4430. The general consensus is that the Droid RAZR packs the 4430.
