It seems to me that ICS is overrated and motoblur or whatever you want to call it might actually be worth having. Just consider the differences. Moto Droid Razr:
What looks like a truly amazing battery smart actions app which allows me to customize what my phone does based on time of day OR location OR both. Plus an app that lets me stream from either my work or home pc whenever I want to, wherever I am, including the option to move files or stream them whichever I want. PLUS an amazing laptop dock that turns my phone into a satellite lappy while it charges the much talked about but to me not feared unreplaceable battery.
With Gnex I can have facial recognition that doesn't always work, and even if it did, I do not want (I much prefer the protection of the encryption built into the razr combined with a secure unlock motion like I ALREADY HAVE on my OG droid. Plus ICS right now instead of in four months (or six months for that matter). Plus NFC to pay for things with my phone. As for NFC I have no desire to buy things with my phone, or to "touch" my phone with another similarly equipped phone and transfer contacts or files. I had this capability Palm 'beaming' years ago and found to be a party trick for the most part. And to be fair, GNex is more workable for custom roms, etc.
For me the razr hardware was already the reason which drew me to moto. Radio. Tough build. Gorilla. Kevlar. Water resist.
It is an easy choice for me. I think I can understand why others disagree, but for me ICS is just not that impressive, the higher res screen not noticeably better enough, and the wow factor of facial recog. or NFC just seem like fun but essentially useless additions to my real world. I LIKE the moto apps that are included (and if I don't, I will simply hide them). That's why I preordered a razr, and look about every day to check to see if it shipped!
Each to his/her own choice, just explaining mine.
This post helped plus my impatience; frustration, and practical side kicked in.
I was trying to wait for the GN. I finally saw the how to vids etc of the GN and I have to admit it didnt wow me like the Razr did.
What my final decision came down to was based on the reliability of Motorola build quality. The way the water resistant feature was explained to me was icing on the cake.
I got tired of the unreliability of my Droid Charge reception and the bluetooth.
Look the reason I switched from Moto to Samsung was because of the screens. Now that Moto has something in the same ballpark; hey.
I did get the Razr on release and decided to return it and try and hold out for the GN. But decided to go back to the Razr. Also I think the straw that broke the camel's back was when my Gtab 10.1 acted up again and I am having it replaced. Also something the salesman said something quite interesting. N believe me he left the decision up to me. But he said in his 6yrs with VZ pretty every high end Sammy phone on VZ has had issues call wise. Look all I have is a cell phone no home phone and since the Razr has some wow factor. Im going back to the work horse.
But I am not ruling out the GN but it has to do some serious blowing away.
I hope those that choose the GN enjoy their choice as well as I hope to enjoy mine...........
