Don't forget the camera issues. Screen is the one thing that bothers me, but I will take LTE over retina display. It does take great movies, has good call strength, largest battery and if you decide you want 24 hours of battery life you can turn off 4G and even opt for a high capacity battery.
My wife dumped her iphone for droid incredible 2 and couldn't be happier. The fact that the current big advertisement for the iphone is that you can talk on the phone and do 1 other thing is pretty sad. Don't buy into the iphone hype. The top droids are simply better.
And that isn't a "feature" of the iPhone, that's a limitation of Verizon. Android phones can do the same thing on ATT
The iphone can not do true multitasking. you can talk and open a browser with ATT, thats pretty much it. With any droid you can have numerous things running at the same time with out issue. I have quit paying attention to the apple people because they simply can not be intellectually honest about the products vs droid. I sat at one of my fantasy drafts with my Toshiba Thrive tablet and another guy had his ipad 2. He couldn't even operate on the leagues site properly, in the mean time I had hooked mine up to the guys 60" tv through a standard HDMI cord and we rocked the entire draft on his tv.
Thanks. I'm not in love with that Samsung phone. Is Moto coming out with a Droid 4 with 4G?'Buddy Ball 2K3 said:
Getting great reviews, and I'm a big HTC fan. I'm up for a new phone now but will probably wait a while until it goes down to $200. I still love my original Incredible.
Yeah, but $229 for renewals is still a lot better than Verizon's price and you can keep unlimited data if you have it.
Where do you see 229 at?

Mixed reviews? Care to post one? The only negative things I've read is that it doesn't have an SD card slot and it only has a 5MP camera. The Verizon version is rumored to ship with 32GB of internal memory, which offsets the need for a slot a bit. No card slot is also apparently a Google design spec, so this is what you get with a Nexus phone. 5MP is a meaningless statistic on it's own. I haven't read a review where anyone actually tested the picture quality and found it inferior to the Razr.Everything else has been glowing. Ice Cream Sandwich. Largest screen available. Gorilla-like glass (different brand than Gorilla). Decent sized battery w\ removable battery cover. Almost as thin and light as the Razr. Seriously, someone may prefer a different phone for one reason or another, but the main differences in it and the other 4G phones being released right now should all be positive features.
I'm mainly leaning towards Rezound because it has a higher resolution screen and camera and a faster processor as well as the fact that I still want a SD slot. Ice Cream Sandwich is officially coming to the Rezound next spring, although I'm sure I'll have it before that.Really though, the Razr, Rezound, and Nexus all look like great phones with fairly minor advantages over each other.
Also, it looks like Droid 4 is right around the corner. It will have very similar specs to the Razr, but with a slide out keyboard.
I'm seeing it for $149 on Amazon, new and upgrade. Was waiting for the Galaxy Nexus but it is getting pounded on all the forums. Poor reception, dismal battery life.
I'm not sure the battery life is worse than my wife's razr (both suck compared to my HTC Incredible), but the reception does seem worse. My other big complaint is that NFL Mobile isn't enabled for it yet.The panoramic camera feature is pretty sweet, but that's an ICS feature, it eventually won't be specific to the Nexus.
Have the Rezound. Love it. The screen is gorgeous and Beats is great (I'm big on music). Its a little big, but I don't mind it at all.
If you want a 4g phone, be prepared for crappy battery life. They all have been plagued by it. Maybe some new phone in the future will do better, but none of Verizon's 4g offerings are great right now.In the meantime, turn off 4g unless you're doing something data intensive and you'll be in battery life heaven.
fooooget that...
I'd wait for for the droid4 since it will be 4g. No release date yet but should be soon.
Thanks Dorno. Ended up going for the Nexus for the exact reasons you listed. If the iPhone today was 4G, we may have had another outcome. So far after two weeks of ownership, no major complaints. Not a huge change to get on ICS from previous Android platform, but this operating system on this phone is light years better than the previous phone/OS I had. Other than Google Maps always wants to open every hour and the ringer on this phone just is not loud enough, I don't see any problems. Yes, the battery life sucks, but I typically have a charger handy 85-90% of the day (except for the commute) and you can swap out the battery in a pinch.And, if you are interested in these new Android phones but don't want to pony up $299, probably not an issue. I was able to get one of the local Best Buy's to match a price on WireFly which was $229 when I purchased two weeks ago (now $279). You could probably get them to match Amazon Wireless (was $229 yesterday for the family plan upgrade) if you were to do it today and without much effort.
