Yup, I've read about that, and while they are known, they are not universal. We don't know how widespread the hissing is. I don't have it, as well as some others who have posted. The connection delay is not always there for me, and when it is it seems less than 2 seconds. Not significant for...

Wow, I don't think that we could get two views on the camera that are more polar opposite than jamielov and 88horizon5speed, ha. Round 2, FIGHT! I sit squarely in the middle; the camera doesn't suck but it's not great either. When comparing to other current smartphones, ours lags behind in most...

I didn't say that the Droid Turbo has not had any problems. I was only harping on written and video reviews that do not give it a fair shake due to some of the reasons stated above. It follows that I am frustrated if people are only choosing to pass on this phone based on such reviews, which...

Re: First impressions of Droid Turbo I'm no camera expert, and I can only say that the default camera app isn't great. I'd go with another app like Camera Zoom FX or A Better Camera. Battery-wise, your 20% increase in 15 minutes can definitely get you 8 hrs of casual (not...

I was referring to when this phone was actually leaked, including specs, which I said was "a few weeks" before but was actually 2.5 months, as you noted. I can see if you're saying that everyone expects a Droid or two in the 2nd half of the year since that's happened for the past few years, so...

Definitely some reviewers have stated that they don't include the Droid Turbo on year-end-lists because of carrier exclusivity, but I think that's pretty weak reasoning - especially with how you explained it, spot on. It looks to me like more reviewers overlook it because of the aforementioned...

If it were that simple, the Droid Turbo should be the phone of the year for all of the websites that rate the Moto X as #1; instead the Droid Turbo usually doesn't even make the top 5 or 10. Also, I don't remember anyone expecting a completely different phone; I remember people saying they were...

Yeah, I'm irked at how biased many reviewers seem to be against the Droid Turbo based on aesthetics - meaning that they focus on this point while heavily downplaying its strengths. I've read every review that I can find, and it appears that the 4 biggest criticisms cited most often are, in...

Re: droid turbo cases? I think you're the only one besides me to even mention the Trident Aegis so far, and then I went ahead and got a different case, ha. Yeah, I had called Trident, who first told me that it wouldn't fit it... I did mention that they should say so in their website...

Re: droid turbo cases? Thanks for the input, and good to know - I'm adding an edit to my post above to reflect that. My guess would be that perhaps the kickstand on your case doesn't directly impede the inductive charging as much as on my case. I did notice that the Seidio kickstands seem to...

Hey folks, not meaning to hijack, but a quick word: qi charging doesn't work if you have a case with metal on the back, such as a kickstand, that comes in-between the charging plate and the battery. I just found this out in using my Tylt Vu with a case that has a metal kickstand; I discussed...

Re: droid turbo cases? A word of caution: Qi charging DOES NOT WORK with any case that contains metal that comes in-between the charger and the battery (more specifically, the Qi charging pad). This includes cases with built-in metal kickstands, and it's also a big reason why phones with an...

Re: droid turbo cases? I think I finally found a winner for my BN: the Beyond Cell Tri Shield (Rugged version), which arrived today after being released last week. I've also recently tried the Diztronic and Tudia Slim-Fit Cygen cases, but they were a bit too slippery in my hand for my tastes...

I assume you're referring to the Droid Turbo? Yes it is... Sorry, as an owner of one I couldn't resist chiming in. But no thread hijacking, back to our regularly scheduled program...

^^ Bingo. A great summary and on point as always, doogald. I know you know this but I am following your lead - for anyone else as an addendum, if you want to use the Advanced Calling phone features (HD & video calling, 6-way conferencing), your phone's requirements are the same as above but...
