Anyone else wonder why there are 2 RAZRs (white), one for $299 and one for $199? Whats the difference? Also they have different MAP periods.

Except its Motorola, which means it will be a lagmagnet. Motorola dual-core phones are no faster than the Droid X in terms of smoothness. Hell, an iPhone 3GS has much smoother performance than any Motorola dual-core phone.

Define Several Months?

on 1/11/12 (2 months to the day), the newest, greatest thing loses value. Back to a previous statement I made, I never said that they are idiots, but It is a difficult decision. and I am speaking from experience…Just in the last two weeks, 4 friends and/or co-workers have purchased I-phones even after I bragged about the Razr.

I want to see 10 razrs around me, not 10 different motos.

Average consumers aren’t idiots; they’re OK with choices. That’s what Verizon reps are there for (I know they mainly suck, but people will still walk out with a decent handset). Also, if you go to the Verizon store you deserve to get fleeced. The RAZR is $170 on Amazon/Wirefly right now. I got mine for $0.01 during their promo.

No one complains about buying a new car that drops $1000+ when you drive it off the lot, but a phone that drops in value $100 several months after release is a slap in the face. smh

I prefer the look of my D3… global and a refined look of the D1… I don’t like Moto’s ceo… he sounds and acts like a used car salesman. said blur is here to stay b/c the carriers don’t want stock and moto has to make money. Moto would make a buttload of money making stock androids.

Wish it was $199. My plan is to wait a few months after its release and see if I can sell my Bionic for the Droid 4. I just cannot live w/o a keyboard it seems.

How are they an awesome deal? You purchase right out of the gate for $299 and then they drop to $199 in a two month timeframe. Yes, I had to have my razr on 11/11, but did I get a good deal? No, I got screwed for rushing in.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my razr just like my OD, but this market is drowning that your normal consumer doesn’t understand it.

When you walk into a store, you have so many android models and then add to it, all of the motorola models, how can our non-tech neighbors know what is the best?

1) How is motorola marketing? With the first Droid, we saw all kind of commercials and ads, since then, we see more here on Droid-Life, then on actual TV.
2) I agree that apple gets stale, lol, but word of mouth is a killer. Just in the last 2 weeks, and after bragging about my Razr, I have had 4 friends and/or co-workers purchase I-phones.
3)I’m not really saying that apple is the good guy, just that you should not muddle the market over and over. I still feel for those that purchased the Bionic. If my time had been up, I would have been a very pissed off bionic owner.
ps: Glad to see in the recent quote that Moto is realizing our issues!

I was expecting the Droid slider line to keep it’s global features. Since I travel often for work, I require both global GSM and a physical keyboard. Even with Swype or SwiftKey X, I still need the keyboard.
