Well you do get a better screen with the nexus. I posted a summary of my nexus experience on the rezound or galaxy nexus thread.

Oh ok. I'm trying to stay away from the rezound just because it looks similar to the dinc. Lol. Trying a different look. I love everything about the razer better but the nexus will be huge in development. Lol. I'm just not sure about the internal battery in the razor. Lol.

That's definitely what your going to want to get (Nexus), Motorola devices usually have low activity development, go take a look at the RAZR forums for meh.

Hmm, this is a biggie for me and probably most people on this site.
The big downer on the nexus is no sd card slot.
Any guess on how much dev will be going on for the Rezound?

Virtually nothing until they can get the bootloader unlocked. When that happens NilsP will be busy.
Only thing that concerns me is if the razr freezes or bootloops. U can't just pull the battery.

Well though Samsung Prime Nexus looks good the benefits of the Motorola Razr lure me.
Was told that the`Razr with Ice Cream software will be available in January 12.
The Razr can be plugged into a docking station and a keyboard and screen can be attached so it can be used like a notebook. There is also a self contained docking station complete with keyboard and screen.
Id be worried about no battery pull possibility. Also with such a thin phone it would be nice to upgrade the battery and back cover and still have a pretty thin device. Tons of bezel on the Razr too so its bigger than it needs to be. Only thing I like is built in access to home computer files...
there is a bigger battery version of the Razr coming soon....maybe removable battery on that. Still, i dislike Motorola.

My Father has the Droid 2 Global stock. It's cool and all but the UI of Motorola is just not as cool as Android or Sense.
I'm all for slim phones, been waiting till Americans could make some for our market..but no removable battery = fail. And i have slender hands...try out the Nexus at the store, I'm sure your hand will be fine operating the phone....i for one, was a bit wrong, i can use it w/ one hand, kind of~
Now if only stupid America can sell slim 7-9mm thick smartphones that are water proof/water resistant w/ a 10mp+ camera + good lens

Too thin imo...makes it very hard to hold . Plus I don't see what the hype of having a phone so damn thin is all about? I like a more ergonomic phone than one so hard to hold.. kinda like the GN or E4gt. Sit on it by accident and it's a goner.
The phone does have a pretty good camera, and the look is nice too.

Motoblur is a much lighter interface these days and Motorola has come a long way in their build quality. While Samsung is still superior, I would definitely buy another Motorola. HTC is the one falling behind. The Evo 3d is the biggest POS, and I hope not an insight of things to come from HTC.

Its almost twice the battery in our epic, and much bigger than any extended battery you probably won't ever need to remove it lol.

with the S3 I want atleast a 2,000mAh battery! probably closer to what the Droid Razr Maxx has.
Anyone feel like that the Galaxy 3 should have came out with a 5.0" screen instead of 4.8"? I feel like that a 4.8" screen is still too small to do things like access office documents or remotely connect to a PC from our GS3. Can anyone else think about what the GS3 should have came with in terms of specs?

You might want to look into the Galaxy Note if u need something bigger

5.0" is definitely too big. Even 4.8" is too big for my thumb to easily reach the top left of the screen. I'd recommend getting a Galaxy Note if you want something bigger.

no.
I started with the HTC hero and thought the size was good, then I got the Epic which had a 4" screen. Now I thought 4" was big and told myself I don't need any bigger, then epic touch comes out with 4.5" screen, and I grew really fond of it. Now this device comes out with 4.8" and I think this is definitely the largest I'm going.
The note is freaking huge and yes, I've played with it. The screen is nice, but when you're using the phone up to your head, when it's really big, it starts looking, well, stupid.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
Definitely not; I already think 4.8" is a bit too large. The kind of tasks you want to do would be far better suited for the Nexus 7.
4.8 is actually pretty big
but it doesnt FEEL big lol.

Eh, all the AMOLED tablets pretty much suck since they're stuffed with Touchwiz (tablet version sucks) which slow them down incredibly.
And the difference between AMOLED and LCD is really miniscule, so unless you care about blacks being a little bit deeper, it doesn't matter.
If you don't believe me, go to a store and try the Nexus 7 - - Once you actually see the screen, you'll be able to make a clear decision.

I traded my Epic Touch for this phone. Mainly for the pure Google greatness that is the Nexus Project. I got sick of having a phone that I had to mod out of the box to be mildly satisfied with. Having a phone that starts with AOSP is a wonderful thing. As for the iPhone. I will never knowingly buy an apple product. I try to stay as informed as I can and by doing that I just cannot buy a product from a company I truly hate. After having this phone for a few weeks I can say this. As long as Samsung makes the nexus. I will never buy a non nexus phone again.

The iphone 5 has a stupid aspect ratio on the screen. They also kept the width the same while increasing the length LOL? Viewing pictures on it must be odd..I can care less about the A6 processor and the new camera.

Nexus = sell a rather paltry number, no big sales except right when it first becomes available, no long term ecosphere behind it even in spite of it being a solid device, etc.
I mean really, go to any store, anywhere - Best Buy, Fry's, MicroCenter, Sears, hell even a 7-11 - and you'll find stuff for the iPhones but you won't find diddly Jack Squat for anything else. It's sad that this is how the world operates but, that's how the world operates.

Nothing has really changed so far.
OtterBox has positioned themselves as a "premium smartphone case maker" and for their ridiculously overpriced products, they're exactly where they want to be.

Yeah, Spigen seems like the next best thing, but I'm seeing a lot of reviews on Amazon about misalignment over the power button. Spigen said they are aware of the issue and a fix is in the works, but it sounds like the "bad" ones are still in stock. Returns are a PITA.

Well, I do. I love it (note 2) when my atv/ sxs group go riding for ~100 miles in a day. Yea it may not be water proof (but it sure helps with the water splashes) but the dust protection for the dirt roads and woods we ride, it offers GREAT protection. So, what may not work for you, works great for others.

They didn't do one for the Nexus 4. So not a huge surprise

I didn't know that. I'm moving to the N5 from a GNex and also had an OtterBox for the phone before that. I assumed the N4 got one, too. Does make sense now. Guess I'll go shopping for a Spigen...

Not surprised. Very disappointed.
Email them. Post it on their Facebook page. Tag them on G+. Let them know you want one people.

Umm... there's nothing "big ass" or "brick" about the Commuter.

Seriously hoping they change their mind and release the commuter for n5.
Have it on my one x now and love it

I still can't believe they made an Otterbox for the HTC Vivid and not the Nexus 5. I know a bunch of people with the N5 and have not met a single person who also owned the HTC Vivid during my 2 years with the device.
I had a Commuter for my HTC One (2 actually) and I loved it. I'm using a Cruzerlite TPU case now and it is also really nice. (Not to mention $13 shipped). Sad that we really don't have quality options yet for this phone
I doubt the CS knows for sure. Just like CS at pretty much all companies. They usually don't know anything but what is on their trouble shooting flow chart in front of them.
