New Motorola Droid Razr In The Wild

[sb1831]

. I am concerned about Blur, never used it but many people complain about it.

Original Blur sucked. Blur now isn't really even noticeable to be honest. You'll also hear a lot of people bash it when they havent even used it on a new handset. Regardless if you like it get one and play with it and see. Don't like it? Return.

dam*... Droid RAZR makes my bionic cry!

on the other hand the splashproof design, newer 1.2ghz soc, are very nice.

Yet, I know my bionic will outlive this phone in everyday use because ive got ma beefy moto ext battery on it.

Hump (cosmetic fail) + Blur (software fail) + Motorola (fail in general recently) = No thanks.

+1 on this and to add:

I don't like that you can't removed the battery. I like being able to bring an extra battery and when the phone is dead I don't have to plug it in for an hour or so I just change the battery.

Plus the locked bootloader, yeah yeah I know locked bootloaders does not mean you can't run a custom ROM but you can't run a custom kernel. My wife has a Droid X and I hate that if something goes wrong when flashing a ROM or something you have to SBF, it takes so long.

I for one will never buy another Motorola untill they unlock the bootloaders like the OG Droid.

The G-Nexus does have the issue of no sdcard slot but I have yet to fill-up my 32gb sdcard on my Thunderbolt.

ICS is designed to work without physical keys so the Razr is behind the curve on that as well.

I did love the X but yea, that SBF stuff can go away! Also, when the updates would leak you couldnt take them, had to jump through hoops and get the pre rooted leaks blah blah blah. Moto trying to block root with every update. Wont miss any of that!

if i was one of those conspiracy theory guys i would bet that moto and vzw have purposely slowed my og droid to a crawl and forced me to do at least 3 battery pulls a day ever since the razr was announced...luckily i am not one of those guys...but...anyone else noticing this phenomenon...??..

It's called planned obsolescence.

I like this blur.

Wow, I think you got something there. I killed my X2 so I reactivated my OG and it was fine for 2-3 days then yesterday. Lock ups, slow downs, 10 battery pulls. Finally I spent the rest of the day, factory resetting and re-installing my most important apps, (I also reformatted my SD card). It's working for now, but the writing is on the wall!
