Moto Razr, or Nexus Prime?

[the one and only M]

The nexus will probably eat up all the devs leaving non for the razr. I hope someone eventually gets it running ics/cm8.

Baaed on screen and OS with lack of OEM UI, the Nexus is clearly the best choice as far as I'm concerned. That said, I am still very happy with my ThunderBolt, so I will probably wait for the better radios & GPUs to be implemented with quad core chips.

Thanks, Robrecht

I just don't see the need for quad-core in phones. Heck I'll probably end up getting a dual-core tablet when the quad-cores come out simply because they'll be cheaper. I could possibly see quad-core being needed more on a tablet, but on a phone it's pretty much a waste. With the Razr and the Galaxy Nexus being as thin as they are, I'm pretty sure the smaller LTE radios have to be out already, so I'm not worried about that anymore. Anything thinner than my Thunderbolt with dual-core and LTE will suit me just fine.

Razr is what the Droid X2 should have been. I feel bad for the folks who upgraded to the X2. Such a wasted device.

I feel bad for bionic owners. I talked a friend out of buying the bionic a couple of weeks ago and sent him info on the new razr and the Galaxy nexus. He loves moto though.

For the same benefits as Dual Core, speed, power, battery. I said the same thing about dual core, i didn't need one. But imo phones are gonna seem slower. My single core Revolution would have been a speedster last year. But now a mid tier phone. Dual core next year will seem slow and quad core will be necessary. Just the way technology is.

Yeah, I'm just glad my other upgrade wasn't due until October 6th. Otherwise I may have made a mistake and gotten the Bionic. Now I get to see two phones that seem like they are going to be amazing.

I don't know that this was covered but it was just mentioned that the Razr does NOT have a removable battery. Which to me means that the Galaxy Nexus/Nexus Prime will win this race hands down

Let me quietly tuck away my Bionic...well, it is what it is. The only real advantage the Bionic has over the RAZR now is the fact you can swap batteries out and an SD card. I can see that being very important to some.

Dont get me wrong, I was about to pull the trigger and trade the bolt in for it until I played with it in the vzw store. I felt the screen was a downgrade compared to the bolt. The workout watch that it syncs with is amazing. I'll be getting one.

Come on.... No brainer...
-
Bloatware vs None
-Blur vs Stock
-Updates first from google vs carrier/verizon updates
Motorola vs Samsung hardware

Hasn't been confirmed yet. But i don't care if the Nexus has a removable batt. If they put enough memory inside, 32GB, then it won't matter to me anyways. I don't have enough crap to fill up 10GBs let alone 32.

 

[obi5683]

I don't think I ever considered the RAZR, but now that it has a non-removable battery and a locked bootloader, definitely not. I mainly want the Nexus because of zero bloat, no skin, screen size, SAMOLED, LTE, ICS out of the box, first to receive updates, and it is a good looking phone.

 

[mclarryjr]

Nexus is my choice

 

[sandoff]

Nexus all day long, Just hoping it is announced with a solid release date tonight

I don't either. But I am looking forward to the better GPUs and 2nd-generation LTE radios that will be implemented with the quad core chips.

Actually, Google wants to buy Moto, but it hasn't happened yet.

Google bought Motorola Mobility for 12.5 billion in mid August.

Google bought Motorola Mobility for 12.5 billion in mid August.

It's not technically a done deal yet. Has to be approved, ironed out, etc.

Google bought Motorola Mobility for 12.5 billion in mid August.

Shareholder meeting for approval is in November. So, not a done deal yet.

Gotcha, my bad greydarrah

The specs on the Razr are terrible, but I'm actually considering it just because it looks so cool and is so thin. And I actually like the new Motoblur a lot, solely because of its 3d animations, which ICS seems to lack.
