I'm a little more excited about this one than the Galaxy for Verizon! Don't really care about the differences between a 5mp and an 8mp camera. As I understand the Razr will get ICS. And who needs a barometer in their phone? I think I've just made up my mind.

I will have to sell this iPhone 4S (16gb)...

its going to be a tough call for many Verizon customers. Agreed on the the camera thing and ICS. I still think the Galaxy Nexus should have been an 8mp one simply for marketing purposes. One good question that I've seen regarding the RAZR is what to do when the phone locks up? Since you can not take out the battery on it how can you reset it? Seems like this may be an issue.

That is a very good point, that's a possible deal breaker. Damn it, I will have to think long and hard on this one.

its an interesting question, I guess something that Verizon would need to answer. I'm still pretty interested in the RAZR. Going to check it out for sure.

Alright, I got mine yesterday. It's wide and tall but it's thin and light. Feels like a well built phone, feels great in the hand (mine are very big) and good in the pocket too. its quick and the display is crisp. As far as battery life goes, at 9am full charge and after a day of moderate use i'm at 15% and its only 4:30pm.

I'm just happy to be back with Andriod. But, this one is not a keeper for me. On 14th day i will trade this one up for whatever comes first.

got one too. I agree with your assessment. A bit tall for sure. But very thin and well made. Still may check out the nexus or rezound. Rezound to me is just too fat and heavy. Its like they just keep putting out the same device with slightly better specs but I do like HTC so time will tell.
