I have the Razr currently and if I had to do it over again I would go with the Razr MAXX.

My day starts off at 4:30AM when I unplug my phone and turn it on. Then I'm at work from 6:00AM until 4:30PM. While at work, I get next to no signal and it really drains the battery. Then I get home around 5:00PM, use wireless tether, normal phone use, and it gets plugged in around 9:00PM. By then it's in the 5% battery range. During the work week I'm maxing out at 1 day (~16 hours) of light to moderate usage.

During the weekend, I'll unplug my phone on Saturday, use it like normal (which isn't a ton on the weekend), and I'll plug it in on Sunday night. It'll last me a couple days when I stay in an area with coverage.

Since most of my time is during the week at work, I wish the battery would last longer.

So go with what you want, I'm extremely happy with my iPhone and I don't feel a need to upgrade. best of luck!

IMHO, I like that they don't push the newest versions of Android to a phone that's not designed to run them. Did you ever try running the iPhone 3 when they pushed iOS 4 to the phone? The thing basically stoped responding it was so slow.

I don't think operating systems should be pushed to phones that don't have the computing power to run them. I wouldn't install Windows 7 on an 8 year old computer and expect it to run. You leave Windows XP on it and keep it going.

The pictures on the nexus are fine. They can be blurry if you are moving a lot though because of the fast shutter on them.

Your best bet is to go and check the phones out yourself really.

Thats because it is a dual core...I think d just got excited...

If you want a good picture buy a camera...if you want a decent camera phone look at pictures taken by it...















I took all those in dim light with my nexus...

[Dennis]

i thought it was quad lol. either way rooting a nexus is as simple as rooting the charge. flash a file done lol. unlocked bootloaders ftw. im getting a nexus for ma b-day in july unless something cooler comes out which i doubt

[03SonicBoom]

One thing I do like about the Razr is that if you are NOT going to root the phone, you can hide all the bloatware apps. So instead of having 3 pages of apps that aren't used, they're hidden and you only see that apps that you want.

[Dennis]

yea but their still eating rom space and a lot of them run in the back round eating ram. i would rather remove them. but if the razr has a one click root like some do its simple. rooting just for that fact is well worth it. plus you can get titanium back up so you can freeze the apps which kills em and hides them for good but you can un freeze them if you need to take the phone in for something

[me2dumb4college]

i have the razr, not sure what all the bashing is about... battery life could be better, agreed, but it's got a dual core, everything is responsive and fast, i hardly ever have it locked up... the camera is good, video is great... whats the issue?

just fyi, if you haven't held it, the phone is rediciously light and fits perfect into my pocket... i've got a medium to large size hand, and it fits nicely in my palm, but could be too big for someone with smaller fingers, esp. reaching the top left of the phone with your thumb

You don't have to tell me the advantages of rooting. I was just saying that for someone who doesn't want to root (for whatever reason they want), it would be nice to hide them to remove 3 pages of worthless apps.

Like I said, battery life is my issue. If one is debating between the Razr and the Razr MAXX, then go with the MAXX for the better battery life.

this is the main reason as to why i want it. i hate those huge phones and i need something that can easily fit in my pocket

you guys do have me sold on the nexus but i will go to the store to feel it out. idk if i will do all the rooting but it does sound cool

Yes the developers have been working around blur since the X so they have gotten good...But the stock kernel leaves ALOT on the table and well blur sucks...

I actually would be half satisfied with blur if the would let it be stock so I could install what I want and nothing else. I have played with gummy and Black widow, but for now,I think I'll stay where i'm at.

How the hell do you managae that? I start at 7:00 when I wake up for work. And by 11:00 AM it's on 5% or less

That's just how it works out. If I remember on Sunday night, I'll try to get a screenshot.

It might be a coverage area. You're only getting 16 hours of battery life and I get that when I'm at work when it's working from a repeater (I believe the repeater causes it to suck down extra battery.

i DON'T EVEN USE lte, i JUST USE NORMAL 3g WITH NO WIFI AND IT'S GONE WITHIN 4-5 HOURS

You're battery is gone within 4-5 hours? You have a battery issue.
