Just switched from a GN to Razr

[Kimo91]

Each to ones own, the cover may be flexible, but its definitely not flimsy, feels like a very high quality plastic, and very sturdy. And the kevlar on your Razr is just as flimsy if not flimsier, it just isn't removable. And it doesn;t affect me, because how often am I gonna have to do a battery pull? Oh wait, never because ICS doesn't freeze. To address the connectivity issues, I had 4 bars of 4g pretty much all day today. The only connectivity issues I've had are only because of the 4g outages which affected all 4g phones. And calling it a useless brick? Yeah that's flaming. Razr's screens have cracked too, and no matter how invincible you think your gorilla glass is, your wrong. Do some research.

Another butt hurt GNex flamer...if you read one of my posts I did drop mine 4 times and no cracks, 2 times around 4 feet. I don't believe I said gorilla glass was nuclear meltdown-proof at all, JUST DIDNT CRACK. go back and play in the kiddie pool for a while.

It's not flaming, I'm just making my argument for the points that you made. I'm not butt hurt, I could care less about what you think about my phone, I just don't want someone else whose considering purchasing the Nexus to see your ignorant comments and miss out on a wonderful device. And I could probably drop my phones four times too and it probably wouldn't break. Any phone can break if it hits a certain point, and while your saying that your Razr isn't nuclear meltdown-proof at all, your certainly implying it. AND MY KIDDIE POOL IS VERY COMFORTABLE THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

How did I imply that? I dropped mine and didn't shatter. Plain and simple. My coworker dropped his GNex 1 time after bragging it was the best phone ever and his shatters. You wanna brag or give the world your professional and educated opinion about your phone bring your kiddie pool to your back yard and brag there how comfortable your water is. Don't come into a neighbors yard and proclaim you're king of the neighborhood cause of the phone you have. That seems childish in itself.

Life with a shattered Razr screen... - Android Forums http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-razr/187428-dropped-my-temp-razr.html http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-razr/189534-fragile-screen.html Perhaps you were lucky, however these people were not. There's three threads right there with people that have cracked their Razr screens, with at least one being less than your supposed 4 foot drop. I'm not claiming that the galaxy nexus screen won't break, it just irks me that you think the razr screen is so much less fragile than the nexus. All screens can break depending on user error, at least admit that. Sometimes when there's injustice being committed in your neighbors yard, you have to step in and speak up about it. What's childish is making statements without the facts to back them up.

I'll say it right now. Samsung phones have inferior builds and subpar radios. Anyone wanting ICS, a pure android experience or their choice of ROMS should go with the GN. The average person is better off with a Razr.

Are you kidding me? The first 3 pages of this thread is razr owners flaming the gnex.

Lol yup. Idk why people care what other people use or prefer. I hold no allegiance! I like both iOS and Android os happy with my gnex. There's 15 roms for it in two weeks! And I don't think there's a version of android without bugs lol. Pretty sure Froyo is still buggy.

[droidbionicmaster]

I agree any phone can break if it falls wrong .....or is that right...lol. Got my Droid X1 in July 2010, had it until Feb or Mar of 2011. Very few scratches, none deep. Lots of face plants on concrete, street, hard floors. The corners of it were more beat up than the screen. Let my ex GF borrow it when someone stole her Blackberry. She had it until I got my RAZR 11-11-11.... While she had it....the piece covering the mouth piece came off, has 2 black spots over the 7 and 9 areas on the dial pad on the screen, has a HUGE crack in the top corner of the screen. Looks like she's been throwing it compared to when I had it.

So far my RAZR hasnt cracked with a few drops...keeping fingers cross it stays that way until at least upgrade time. Does have a lil scratch on the screen.

You a make this phone out to be as fragile as the iPhone, its simply not. My phone isn't rickety, it doesnt shatter when dropped, and it works just fine aside from the already known bugs WITH ICS NOT THE PHONE. That said, fan boys will be fan boys, go ahead and enjoy your razr, its a superb phone. I will enjoy mine. I understand .y phone isn't the second coming of christ, hell, I knew that when the specs were released. In the same token NEITHER IS YOURS. So cool it.

Also stop the durability bull****, your Kevlar and water resistant coating is marketing hype, nothing more, its Motorola's version of beats audio. Just another reason for ill informed consumers to go "ITZ TEH BEST FONE EVARRRR!!" Are you one of them? No? Then cut the ****.

I don't spend $300 on ANYTHING to beat the hell out of it, and if that's you, get a Casio gzone or gtfo. Kthanks.

 

[gthotie5]

I Said a while back that the nexus isn't worth $300, a flagship device that's up there as the most expensive phones out there and you go with cheap plastic??? Glad I only had to pay $230.

Razr is built way better, Moto > Sammy when it comes to build quality.

Cheap plastic is something I'll have to get use to since I care more about having pure google unlocked ect.. and better Screen over a nice build and better camera.

All 3 of verizons super phones are on the same level.

-Just adding to it: The nexus is also the most future proof, moto will stop giving updates to the razr at one point, but with the nexus being unlocked even if google for some reason decides not to update it there's gonna be plenty of Devs who will.

A few things:

Kevlar...I really dont see the need for it to have been mentioned by Moto. It almost feels like the material on the back of the Droid X1 battery cover. Scratch that and rub it and the scratch is gone on that too.

The water resistance...not really marketing hype. I can compare it to my DX1 and Droid1. The RAZR recovers alot quicker with water on the screen. Have yet to try running it under a sink of water...will just have to take those clips at face value...lol I'm also paranoid since I removed the back on my RAZR. REALLY dont wanna find out the hard way if that hurts the water resistance. I did see a clip of a GS 2 working under water...unless they guy coated the phone with something first. There are enough Youtube videos of the RAZR and some other phones getting water tests. The EVO 4G was the worse I've seen...but it was getting tested vs. a Defy, which is also marketed as water resistant. Put it like this: my RAZR and DX1 in the rain? RAZR does alot better.

We still dont know if all the issues with the G Nex is all ICS related and/or hardware, especially the reception issues some are having. Samsung and reception issues date back to before Android.

Its strange to me when we compare phone screen durability I had the inc for 2.5 years and countless times dropped on the screen with no protection on cement and never cracked it but I've heard of people dropping it once and cracking it. My point is it can take one time or a fifty it really just deepens

RAZR is a solid phone. I have always had better luck with Motorola than I have with Samsung, LG, and RIM. I have a 4 year old who loves to plays games on my phone, and you can imagine how hard on the phone she can be (despite being redirected. LOL) But my RAZR does not have a scratch or a nick on it. I do have my phone in a case and a screen protector is on it, but that won't always save a phone from a 4 year old.

Samsung has always been known for cheap builds and subpar radios and the GN is no exception. It has nothing to do with Kevlar and water resistant coating, Moto has always made solid Android devices and phones in general, not just the Razr.

We're here in the RAZR forum to discuss what WE feel is the better choice and why. When they have discussions about moving from the Razr to the GN there is the GN forum for that.

If you want to be a beta tester for ICS then enjoy your phone. For those of us willing to wait for the bugs to be worked out, please allow us to be patient with our phone of choice.

You can do all of that but there's no reason for useless ignorant banter about how inferior one device is over another.

To those who ***** and whine about Samsungs "plastic build". Here is this for you to shut you up:
