So, I have a question for all you moto guys that are looking to upgrade from the OG Droid. From what I've read, the best thing about Motorola phones is their hardware, yet I have read through this thread and see a LOT of complaints about just that. Screens not working, issues charging, etc.
This may not be a perfect analogy, but it sounds a lot like American cars vs. Japanese cars as far as initial quality vs. long-term quality.
My old Oldsmobile ran great if not better than my Nissan when they were both brand new, but as they both got older, the Nissan continued to run great, while the Oldsmobile starting having issues.
The reason I bring this up is because, as I've mentioned before, I'm an HTC Incredible user, and this phone is just as awesome (maybe even better thanks to CM7) as the day I got it, with no hardware issues whatsoever (knock on wood).
It's entirely possible that it's just because of the small sample size in this thread, and I could be way off base, but it's a point I thought could be valid.
I'd love some feedback/response to this from the moto guys here, as I'm still not 100% certain I want the Bionic.
I originally upgraded from a KRZR to a Samsung WinMo "world phone".....can't remember what they called it because it was junk and VZW even quit carrying it when I was having tons of issues with it. I originally went with it because I wasn't sold on the touchscreen phones (yeah, I know....silly me), but the Samsung had a BB style full QWERTY keyboard candybar form factor that I liked at the time, plus it had what I thought at the time was a pretty slick "optical mouse" type of directional pad. I used that ALL the time rather than the small little touchscreen that the phone actually had. But like I mentioned, the phone was junk and kept having MAJOR issues with it during the first year, so VZW finally let me switch to something else, but the only options they gave me (without having to pay more) were either the HTC Ozone or some other crap phone. I was really trying to move to a Droid Eris at the time, but they told me I HAD to stay with a WinMo phone since that's what I had. I told them neither of the options they were giving me were "comparable" since my Samsung had a touch screen (even though it was small) and the Ozone and other option didn't have touch screens. They finally saw my point and the only option was the TouchPro2. It hasn't been a terrible phone from a hardware perspective. Just ready to get with the times and move over to a nice new Android phone!
