True, for phone and email, the pentile display is fine. For watching video or game playing, they are not. I found Angry Birds on my X2/Photon unplayable because of the tearing/shadowing caused by the Pentile. Also, paging through text is very smooth on my non-pentile displays, and looks like it is dragging on the pentile. When I put my Rezound next to the RAZR, for me it is no contest, the Rezound wins.

I say they don’t sale Moto and have them build the nexus line or curve them on how many devices they can put out in one calendar year. They should stop releasing devices 2-3 months apart with minor hardware upgrades on the same carrier. Moto’s build quality is great if not the best, the OG Droid was a solid device at its time. There’s wasn’t a phone on VZW at that time that caught my attetion at that time. The OG Droid was the phone that made me get an Android powered device. Now I have the G-Nexus, it’s a good device but the speakers are killing me. I don’t use them that often but when I do I would like to hear the audio coming from the speakers. Samsung dropped the ball on the speakers on the G-Nexus. The OG Droid speakers had good sound quality. Before anyone say to get volume+, I haven’t rooted the G-Nexus and I’m not into installing roms on the phone. I don’t like the hasle of having to tweak my phone and reorganized my home screens everytime I try out a rom. So far the G-Nexus is working great on stock ICS except for the speakers. I have no issue with the device like the complaints that I have read on this site and other blogs.

MY droid X has amazing data connect. Nexus no data connection or very weak spotty in a low reception area.

Droid X streamed fine over 3G. Nexus, streaming is a joke. Again, is poor reception area.

I prefer reception and data connection over not. Nice screen and all. If you have no internet. It’s useless.

Some day I’ll get a tablet and the phone will be relied on for a good data connection.
I’ll probably sell the nexus. Even though verizon says the update will fix this. HA!

As a pure Motorola device owner, I’d be very upset if Google sold it off.

I like the Motorola build quality but hate a lot of the policies. Locked boot loaders and low res screens need to be things of the past. I’m not sure what they need to do to take an actual hard look at being a good company but if Google selling them off really sparks the fire they really need then so be it. They were on top of it all with the OG Droid but squandered it away trying to f- their customers with bad upgrades.

HTC is reinventing themselves too and I hope they do really well. In the end intense competition for us, the consumer, is best for everyone but fat profit margins.

I know of the issues that you have and seem to scream on every post. Yet I have never had any of these issues. Granted Im rooted and on 4.0.4

Soooooo many trolls. Here are the facts:

Motorola is a good company with horrible CEOs that fail at marketing (They shouldn’t release a Razr, Razr White, Razr Maxx and Razr purple, just one or 2)

Motorola Blur is not the social nightmare it was, it’s now the least intrusive skin of any manufacture. Look at it, it’s practically stock with minor (but important) enhancements.

Motorola obviously has a large loyalty base, unlike Samsung and HTC to my knowledge. It would be a shame to loose them

Motorola makes good sturdy phones with good radios (Photon has EIGHT) and good call quality (Droid X)

Verizon is the one who locks the bootloaders.

Anyone ever compared radio reception between Moto and Samsung? Not in your imagination, but side by side in real time? Sammy still has a ways to go to catch moto in building a phone!

真的很不希望摩托罗拉再被卖出去了，对摩托罗拉还是很有感情的，真的不愿意看到曾经的巨人就这样倒下。

I live 30 miles away from a LTE city. You are totally right that the Bionic has no reception at all man.

You see, if your T-Mobile friend calls their smartphone a “droid” they clearly don’t mean the brand. I also can’t really speak about the USA, but outside no one calls Android smartphones “droids”. Well, if you hear that from someone, most probably it’s “when will Motorola release DROID4 for Europe?”

Cool story bro. But I can daisy chain 6 car batteries to my Bionic and have longer battery life than you!
