Been trying to decide bwtween the two, the original samsung galaxy tab really soured me to samsung products tho, but after seeing the specs are pretty much the same between the 2 phones, I think I will be going with the Razr.. love the moto phones for their build quality and nice designs...I already have the Bionic, so will be giving that to my wife and keeping the razr..she wont mind..she currently has the X

What was bad about the galaxy tab?

I recommend nexus. Think of it as made by google instead of samsung.

it was sluggish, would lock up all the time, every couple of weeks it would freeze up so bad that I could not even reboot it, it would freeze up at the samsung logo, since the battery could not be removed, I would have to wait untill the battery ran all the way down, then charge it and then get it working. it was horrible....it needed different software but never got an upgrade. (the verizon version)

Isn't there a way built into it tobasically do a battery pull?

The iphone and ipod and ipad all have a two button reset command... This will be no different. It'll be the first thing I read up on when I get the phone!

The non-removable battery is a non-issue for me. The bigger issue is the camera.

Is the no-lag shutter on the GN a software or hardware thing?

Samsung radios tend to be the weakest of the major brands. My old fascinate proved this in spades, as does my co-workers charge.

I love Moto and the hardware they put out. This decision would be so much easier if Verizon wasn't a huge POS.

is it an issue to get the nexus which was "made for" ice cream sandwich, or get the razr which can be upgraded to ice cream sandwich in 2012??

I'm torn between both the Razr and the G-Nex.
What kills me about all Nexus devices (G-Nex included), is the lack of expandable memory!! If the G-Nex had that ability, it would be a no brainer.
As for the Razr... everything about this phone I like (despite the fact of a non removable battery). I just hope that the camera lag that is problematic with the Bionic and other Moto Droids is not an issue with this device.
I guess I'll have to get them side by side and do a personal comparison. And even though the G-Nex is sporting ICS, this is not a concern for me (unlike a majority of the individuals out there). Especially when you know that developers will most likely find a way around the locked bootloader, and already have roms out sporting ICS attributes as soon as the Razr is in the wild.
