Hello Android Users,
On Black Friday, I did my part to help along the economy by spending as much and as little as I could on new toys. I bought an iPhone4 for $99+contract for daughter 1, a free Samsung Stratosphere for dauther 2, a $359 Motorola Xoom accessory package "deal" for my wife (leather case/stand, bluetooth keyboard, skullcandy headphones, stylus, car charger, protective cover) , and for $159 the Motorola Droid Razr for myself. Phew! :-$
Now, I'm having a bit of buyer's remorse. My daughters are both very happy with their new phones. However, the Xoom is starting to look big and clunky to me especially compared to the Samsung 10.1 and pictures of the upcoming Xoom2. I was going to get the Asus Transformer but decided on something with cellular data, however the Transormer Prime looks pretty sweet! I still have to spend more time with the Xoom since I've been totally distracted with the Razr.
I love the Razr, and am very depressed because I think I'll have to return it. I'll probably go back to being contract free with my 32GB iPhone4 on AT&T. I have lousy coverage and I'm using the AT&T microcell at home to make up for it, and I hate it! I was looking forward to an iPhone5 and was disapointed with the whole 4s schmeal.
Here are my problems so far with the Razr (I won't mention all the things I love about android/razr):
I have more time before I can no longer return. Perhaps the Nexus will be my answer, or perhaps I'll talking Verizon on giving me a better deal on a 64GB iPhone4s. It would be a shame to return to AT&T. I'll really miss having Android on my phone though! :'(

Here are my problems so far with the Razr (I won't mention all the things I love about android/razr):
- battery usage - charge all night and at least once more per day
- No headphone mic use - did several tests including using other Razrs at the Verizon store.
- No headphone pause/skip/volume controls - ouch! started using bluetooth all the time.
- photo quality - i've been comparing to the iPhone4 and the difference especially in focus sharpness is big.
- mic sound quality - I play in a small music group and we record ourselves to check our sound, the iPhone's quality was acceptable, the Razr's wasn't, and I have no way to plug in an external mic.
