Should I exchange my bionic for razr

You can still hae 1000+ posts and be a troll it seems, it's not a downgrade, they're about the same if the RAZR isn't slightly better.

it's not a troll. it's my honest opinion which is backed up by facts based upon how *I* use a device.
you dont agree, thats cool. but dont call a post a troll without foundation.

No problem, but if you have a favorite Verizon store or employee than i would talk to him/her about what you want to do and see if there aren't any return limits or fees to this. There may be a $35 restocking free so if you return the Bionic, then return the RAZR for the Bionic again you are looking at $70. You can get your old phone back? or a loaner having return the Bionic then going to the store and looking at the RAZR for a while, it's less "hands on" but will give you more of a feel for the phone before commenting to it and possible paying another $35 restocking fee.

But yea, talk to your rep and see if it can be done, you should be able to as it's nothing illegal.

I still have in my possesion my droid x, so I guess it could be reactivated. Yeah I know that I could be out of $70.00 but usually I keep my phone for 1 to 2 years, so having the right one is important for me.
 
I LOVE my bionic. Only issue I have is the memory issue and a fix is coming. Camera isn't bad as far as im concerned. I do have 1 thing that's a must in any superphone I buy, it MUST have a user replaceable battery. So I guess I've said it. Im keeping my bionic.

throttling down the CPU/screen/data connections means basically slowing down the processor, dimming the screen and switching off LTE.
since there is no ability to swap out batteries Moto had to come up with "Smart Actions" which allows the user to conserve power by limiting the functionality of the device.

Thanks for the info. :)
 
I would honestly prefer the bionic, should all the connectivity issues get worked out with the next OTA. I'm sure I'm in the minority though...

Verizon has a limit of one phone return for a different phone policy called the "worry free guarantee". If you return the second phone, you must either get the same phone or get a refund. If you go the refund route, you can not get another phone at the upgrade rate but will be charged the retail rate... hope that makes sense.

Just went through this myself. Upgraded from the D1 to the D3 because I thought I needed the physical keyboard, returned it for the bionic but had major issues with data loss. This was my primary line so I couldn't afford interruption of svces so had to return it. Asked if i can go back to the D3 and they refused. Went to the director level with no luck. Ended up reactivating my D1 and lost my upgrade so beware... if I want to upgrade, it will be at retail rate...

Hmmm.... So I really have to decide if I really want the razr. I'm happy with the bionic it's just that the razr seems better other than the fixed battery.
Thanks for the heads up...
 
You could always sell your current device (whatever it is at the time) and put that towards the retail price of the phone. Not necessarily the ideal solution, but it's an option.

You laid down the foundation with a blanket statement: "wouldnt downgrade my Bionic to a RAZR." without any fac... err opinions about another device that isn't even out yet.
 
My big issue (and really the only one) is the lack of removing the battery. with all the ROM flashing i do ive been bootlooped before and have flashed on unstable ROMS onto my og droid..whats the easiest go to solution? battery pull!! not being able to do that turned me away from this phone in a heartbeat! sucks because this would be a beast of a phone if not for that single issue :/
 
OMG!! Another Bionic vs Razr thread?? Really?!?!? Tell me this ain't really happening!!
