I can not imagine some with the OG Droid being disappointed with the Razr... I sure am in love with it. Feels different next to your face
because... hell yeah its BIG... lol. Not so big I was like what am I gonna do with this thing but still way bigger than OG Droid. The crazy thing is its weight... crazy light but super stiff / strong.
Seriously... if its time for a new phone you should check this thing out... I love it!

I posted a couple of pics in the "official" got my Razr thread earlier today. Only had time to post a few though.
This is the best I could do; took pic with samsung Trace lol I haven't found anything I don't like about it yet; very fast, great display. For those concerned about it feeling big in your hands, don't be concerned. Your hands would have to be tiny to experience any difficulty. Great phone, most will love it.Cool! Look forward to hearing some feedback! Enjoy! Look forward to some pics a well... agree, no pics, no phone

I got an HDMI dock, very nice accessory, also got a P793 portable charger (will be returning it for the P893). I got a Otter box (commuter series case), the phone is so nice looking I hate to use the case but I'll get over it. All in all I'm very pleased with my RAZR experience so far. Best to you all.:biggrin:
Why the delay on activation?? Mine activated within 10 minutes or less after I began the process. WSSUP?

Mine failed activation out of the box, I had to call the 800 number listed in the paperwork and reset the phone, rerun the activation and it worked.
....
All in all, I have found no issues with the phone as of yet. It is a major upgrade from the original Droid I had the last 2+ years. The phone is super light for the screen size. Very snappy and the native corporate email app is so much better than the original Droid interface. The Moto app to sync with your computer works better than expected and It is cool to see the ability to print from the phone (must be connected).
As far as the camera, I only have the Droid to compare it too and that was the worst camera ever used. Overall the camera is very snappy and the pictures meet my requirements.
This phone is all that I hoped for. It is lightning fast, the screen is beautiful, I've been playing with it for 6 hours and it continues to amaze. Just getting all the apps put back on and setting up things. The motocast is absolutely amazing. You can call it motoblur, I call it my own personal, secure cloud!
I will say It IS big though. One hand operation for me is a bit of a stretch, my hands are about medium (usually large gloves, or for you golfers out there, medium large). I don't foresee that as a major problem but it will be an adjustment coming from an OG droid.
Camera is fast and first pics are quite nice. Wow the screen and the widgets are cool.
The music app (streamed from my laptop) actually streams the lyrics a la follow the bouncing ball (I'm probably the last one to know this, but somehow I didn't see it anywhere and that is quite fun for a words guy like me). Sorry if you're too young to know what follow the bouncing ball is, while there is not a bouncing ball, the lyrics scroll up. The external speakers are tinny, as expected for a phone. When used with nice headphones, very adequate. I am quite impressed and pleased with my purchase, I only wish I could have gotten the lapdock500 with it, but that means more fun later! I have played with it continually all day, including streaming a netflix show (Andy Griffith and Aunt Bea's Kerosine Cucumbers was the maiden voyage) and I have seen NO heat issues. Of course, it's freezing here, so that may be a factor.
The screen is so beautiful and big, that I will have no need for a kindle fire, this phone will do all that and much, much more. Overall first impression is I have no doubt this phone will easily last me another two years and then some. Well done Motorola, well done.

Typing this message... while receiving texts from wife... while watching a Droid Razor commercial on NFL Network... all while holding the sexiest phone I have ever owned :icon_ lala:
I seem to have a week 4G connection at my office. At my actual office I have 4G connection, however 100' away it was only 3G. Since I have been home, it has pulled a strong 4G. If it matters, speedtest at the office had it around 4mb down/ 2MB up. At home it has been 6.5 down/4 up.
This phone is much better than I could have hoped for.
Mine came at 11 AM. Been playing with it a bit as you might imagine.
Screen looks fantastic but I did turn up brightness. If you turn it and look from an angle there is a slight blue/green tint. Not a big deal IMO. It really is beautiful.
Keyboard is so nice I will probably stick with it over Go.
Super thin. Super light. Ridiculously fast.
I personally don't think it's too big but I'm a big guy with large hands.
Kevlar feels great. Not slippery but not grippy either.

phone keeps coming up with the Please wait until your phone has beeen activated and restarted message, then after about 5 min, i get an error, my option is to retry, I called and verizon told me that because of so many activations, there may be a delay, and it should activate by midnight.
getting a bit frustrated. I think i am going to call again and see if i can talk to someone else....
Phone is crazy thin and light, very comfortable in the hand...can't wait to actually be able to use it!
