Droid Razr Maxx HD waiting lounge.

My Razr M has been stellar for calls and data but there is speculation that the antennagate issues are due to interference being held in the hand but not with a case (or as one video suggests, buffered in paper towels). I do have my M in a gel case so that could be why I haven't had any problems...either that or my M just doesn't have those problems.

It does have a compass. I worried about the same thing because it isn't listed in the specs, but it in fact does. Screen shot below shows the Magnetic field sensor which is the compass...

Excellent! Thanks for sharing that tidbit. It makes me more willing to go with the M possibly. Basically the way I see it is that I'm giving up the HD screen and an HDMI port for a much cheaper phone. But I think the M looks great too! I actually think it looks better than the Razr HD and HD Maxx. The only thing I like better about the Razr HD is I like having a little weight, or solid feeling, in a phone; the Razr M seems almost too lightweight, if there is such a thing.

I'll look more into the antenna issue, but people always seem to complain about reception on most phones when they come out.

Am brown yes people have a tendency to carp on data connections, phone calls etc. But fail to remember these are wireless devices.

Well I did visit the "antennagate" thread over on three Razr M section and someone made a good point that authentication issues and software bugs in general that plague new releases. I could be wrong, but until there's more evidence I'll take the antenna issues with a grain of salt.

I talked verizon into letting me roam with one and the DB's were identical. And this is in reception black hole. I still believe in the conspiracy theory.

The HD also supports S GPS. Which means if you have a maps app that doesn't require network signal you can still track your route. S GPS doesn't require any cellular or wifi assistance to know where the sats are. The Bionic had this then it was removed in the RAZR line now added back.

Hey, Tis, you don't need a compass to tell which way is north, (once you established north the other directions fall into place), you just have to know the time of day and if you need visual confirmation an analog watch will suffice provided of course you can read a "real watch" . Tis giving you grief lol.

when you live in Washington like I do the location of the Sun becomes somewhat of a guessing game.

on a serious note boo Motorola
