I have had a Bionic since day one (back in September...). When you step into a Verizon store and compare the Bionic screen to the Razr, the Bionic is noticeably less brilliant. When you compare it to the HTC Rezound, it's even disappointing (the screen on the Bionic). Compared to the Nexus, it's still not that great. But when you step outside, the Bionic is hands down the best screen available right now.
I spend all day out of doors. I bought the extended battery from Verizon. I have rooted and SqLited my Bionic. I am currently running 5.5.893 (waiting for whatever OTA is next).
I do want to buy the Razr Maxx but the blue green cast to the screen and the reports of broken screens have kept my in my Bionic. I am sure the Maxx is a better phone then the non maxx in that it's thicker and less prone to a broken screen. If I could comfortably switch the Micro Sim for the standard Sim that comes in my Bionic, I'd buy the Maxx and just play back and forth. I know..., you can use that punch thing and swap the sims but right now, that's not an option for me.
So, with regards to a phone that is usable in the bright sunlight, I will stay with the Bionic. Now if the Razr would offer the screen that is in the Atrix 2, or better yet would run ICS, I'd make the switch. I am going to wait until Moto tosses out their first quad core 312 ppi non Pen Tile screen before I buy another phone. Given the onslot of phones Moto introduced in our recent past, I doubt we'll see much from them in the near future. In fact, their might be mutiny on the bow from Razr owners who got hoodwinked by Moto selling the Razr Maxx. So my guess is that I'll have my Bionic for at least a year.
By the way, anyone interested in Super Amoled Plus screens out doors, forget about it. I will put my Bionic next to anything offered by Samsung any day for durability and ease of view out of doors any time.
The only one I would even be half tempted to buy would be the Nexus if it offered a better battery and a Super Amoled Plus screen and a metal case (as is the case for the Bionic and the Razr Maxx).
So in sum, if you spend a lot of time out of doors, at least look at a Bionic outside rather then in the store. It does have a superior brighter screen!
It's funny how everyone hates on the bionic screen, but they hate that they can't see their cell phone's screen in sunlight. I guess some people would rather be able to watch high definition movies on their phone than to be able to use their phone outside on a sunny day. My screen is crystal clear in direct sunlight with or without sunglasses. I know you all are talking about the razr here, but keep that in mind next time you read on here about the "horrible" bionic screen.
