Sorry for not updating how the store visit went!
So here is how it went.
I went to the Verizon store after i got the 2nd CLN Replacement Rezound and lets just say I wasn't happy (I wasn't rude but I got the point across that I was fed up with them)! After handing the tech my phone, I explained what was happening and he proceeded to open up the GPS and what do ya know, it rebooted on him! He was dumbfounded! So he started typing on his computer behind the counter and proceeded to ask me if it was ok if he did a factory reset and I was like just do whatever to get it to work! After about half an hour he reset it and he said if it started acting up again to call customer support and ask for a new phone. I walked out to my car and literally the second I sat down it restarted and then it could never find a 4G or 3G signal when it came back on. I called customer support and was put on hold for over an hour when the Verizon automated system dropped my call! I was livid and called back! The lady made sure I was first on the list this time and I only had to wait about 5 min! The tech support rep said that after looking at my account history and at the notes the sales rep put in my account that day, he said I could either get a CLN Rezound or a CLN Razr! At this point I was so fed up and exhausted that I got the Razr! I loved my Rezound but I would rather give up my amazing display for a slightly less dazzling one but get reliable signal, no reboots and an actual possibility at seeing an official OTA Jelly Bean update!
Heres a quick review of the Razr after a few days!
Ok, I got my Razr a few days ago and I must say it's interesting. It has its good and bad but whats winning me over is the ability to use FoxFi! When I first got my phone I was amazed at how thin it was and how well built it is. Then I turned it on for the first time and was blown away at how AMOLED looks, the blacks are so black that the screen look off and the colors are so crisp. But I must say I am not a fan of the pentile matrix. It makes things look boxy and unappealing but in every day use its hardly noticeable. However, the first night I had my phone I noticed something peculiar, under the screen there appeared to be what looked like black ink. It wasn't just in one spot but blotched all over the display. It isn't that noticeable in a bright area or when the screen brightness is all the way up but when watching a movie at night it just screams and annoys me (I'm a little OCD, I like my things to look perfect). lol And apparently after reading online, its not a good idea to send it back for a replacement because I'm likely to get one that has it worse (online it seems every Droid Razr and lots of Droid Razr Maxx have them).
Battery life is on par with the Rezound and with smart actions I have the ability to be able to extend that even further. Currently, I have a rule set that turns the cellular data off when phone idles with the screen off. Its quite amazing how they fit the entire Rezound worth of hardware (and even more) into that tiny profile (and even made it water resistant ) P.S. I always use 4G LTE, I can't stand using Verizon's 3G because I'm basically addicted to the speeds of LTE!
All in all, this device is nice with great build quality and an amazing form factor but the display is kinda a turn off and the battery is definitely gonna need charged 1-2 times a day. I'm glad I got this phone for free as a CLN and didn't pay for it, otherwise I would of gotten the Maxx edition.
