Re: Verizon looking into the signal strength issue, software comi
the gnex has a pentile screen, like .000001% of smartphone users swap batteries, and the bootloader being locked or unlocked.. really doesnt mean anything.. their is no benefit to messing with the bootloader imo..
oh not to mention.. the gnex has a subpar camera.
the razr was trashed because most users are rabid fanboys and wanted nothing but the google phone.
and my point was that if the razr and motorola really have dominating radio technology.. it easily outweighs any feature on any phone.
I owned a razr.. I returned it a month ago for my own reasons.. and I am 100% happy with my gnex.. but doesnt change my disgusts for the sheepish idiotic attitude of most nerd elitists on here.
Oh geez, where to even begin with this catastrophe of a post...
the gnex has a pentile screen,
... that's impossible to see with the naked eye. Moot point.
like .000001% of smartphone users swap batteries,
I tend to agree in practicality, but keep in mind, this is Motorola, who produced the original Droid. One of the biggest selling points (and advertising/bragging points from Motorola's end) was the removable battery. That's basically been a huge plus for Android over the years. The RAZR has a great form factor, but it prioritized form over functionality. That's something Apple does all too often, not something Android manufacturers should do.
and the bootloader being locked or unlocked.. really doesnt mean anything.. their is no benefit to messing with the bootloader imo..
Yes, in your opinion. But I'm willing to bet that for a majority of people in this forum, this (and the stock Android bit) is one of, if not
the biggest selling point of the Galaxy Nexus. But hey, if you don't want to take advantage of that, that's cool.
oh not to mention.. the gnex has a subpar camera.
You state that as if it's a fact. In terms of megapixels, sure. It may not be the highest MP camera available on a phone. But you won't take pictures as fast as you can on the Galaxy Nexus on any other device, not even the iPhone. And if you recall, just a few months ago Apple took a potshot at Motorola for their horrendously slow camera speeds. Pretty embarrassing, IMO.

The RAZR is a decent device, but it's no Nexus. And that's the problem. Locked bootloaders, a manufacturer UI, the removable battery, bloatware up the wazoo, Android 2.3 instead of 4.0, updates that don't come directly from Google... it's easy to see why people would feel pretty strong against the RAZR. Sure, it's a good device for some people. But I think you'll find that this community (and the online Android community in general) will lean more toward the Nexus for a variety of reasons, all legitimate and important.
and my point was that if the razr and motorola really have dominating radio technology.. it easily outweighs any feature on any phone.
It really depends on how "dominating" their technology really is. If it could get a radio signal when under 25 ft of dirt, then yeah, that might outweigh any feature. But unless the Galaxy Nexus just absolutely cannot get signal anywhere, then no, it doesn't outweigh any feature on the phone. There do seem to be problems with the Galaxy Nexus' radio (hopefully just the baseband), but to claim that the RAZR is a better phone overall because it has a stronger radio is ignorant.
