Tired of waiting for GN, Hello RAZR
- Thread starter Vincere
- Start date
Since we have the Razr why would we need to see a review from the Verge? My screen is awesome, of course if you carry around a microscope to look at your screen I guess you have a point.
I can honestly say that I haven't had any issues whatsoever with the display. I feel as though people are nitpicking when they say the display is terrible. The only reason why I would consider giving up the RAZR for the Galaxy Nexus is for the pure Google experience.
I've noticed the "screen door effect" will vary from person to person. Meaning some people see it and some don't. Unfortunately I see it very clearly. I showed the phone to my gf and she couldn't see it. I'm coming from the Droid X and while the colors were a bit washed out, I thought the screen looked great. I'm not saying the phone is bad or the display isn't good, but I find it distracting at times.

Lets add a lil plus here.
I have been thinking why its a good reason to have an SD card.
While nothing is fool proof. U have to back up your phone less.
Meaning if you like to buy download music it's right to your SD
card. If your phone takes a dump. Dies for whatever the reason
you have it. Simply swap your card.
Also apps to SD; say if you find a really cool app that you like
and it has that capability save it right to your SD card. Because
you full well know that sometimes apps that you like disappear from the market.
I know there is google music and the like. But I do like having some sense of control
over my data.

I too got the razr as a filler phone. Amazing phone but I'm swapping it for the nexus.

I'm at least going to check out the Nexus thoroughly. I'd be remiss if I didn't at least play with it for a while in the store. I have until Jan 15th.

My question is: does it looks like the entire screen is looking thru a screen door? Cuz I can see Pentile when I hold it closer than I normally do...on certain things....but I've never noticed the entire screen looking like a screen door, even when held closer. If you see that.....I would suggest getting a phone with no Pentile at all. Cuz if you see that you will see Pentile issues on the G Nex too. Already a couple of threads popping up about this with the G Nex. The Rezound would probably be a better phone for you.
And holding both my DX1 and RAZR at my normal viewing distances....I cant really tell the difference in screens except for the more colorful screen of the RAZR. Held closer its easy to tell the Pentile vs my DX1. And my DX1 looks brighter, has better whites.

What I'm surprised is getting little attention is MotoCast. Amazing program built in so that you have access to Office Docs, pix, vids, music from your PC's! on your phone. All the time! Simply amazing.
I can't deal with the non removable battery I'm way too much of a power user. mines up on swappa with a ton of accessories mint condition for 510$ if anyone's interested...

It only works when your computer in on, correct? Who leaves their computer on all the time? Cool service, but doesn't seem worth it.

True. For many of us in biz, esp. with home offices, tho', they are on 24/7. I'd think there are a lot of those, actually. My screen shuts off, but the pc is on. The only time I do shut it down is when I'm out of town, so I'll just have to make sure I've grabbed all the files I'll need when I do!
But it really is cool. Like having your pc with you, except for software that the phone can't read.

I have two PC's and a NAS in my house that never turn off, as well as my office PC. It's great. I wish I had it on my Xoom.
