Agreed. The Droid RAZR is my first Android and what caught my eye initially was the name. Not only is the Droid RAZR a good device in-of itself, the name also sells familiarity and nostalgia — something that works when a company is trying to expand it’s customer base. Is it milking the cash cow? Definitely, but so what? Familiarity works, and in the end Motorola still rolled out a device that received praise after praise from numerous tech. magazines — and not just for it’s slim profile.

Since Google requires certain specs and hardward it would be nice if all roms/kernels were universal for all the new nexus phone regardless of manufacture. That would be amazing for devs and users, with a simplified ecosystem. I’d like to think all the arguing would stop , but I doubt it.

Internal batteries can be replaced, just a little more involved. Plus you would be out of luck with a removable battery as well since they will not be produced after about 3 years.

I would rather see them take those millions going to the former Moto CEO and have it spread around the engineers that actually did the work and are now out. Where is their millions for stepping down?

I thought a removable battery was a big deal on my DROIDX. I hounestly never removed it. My MaXX gets such good battery life i dont even care.

Good riddance. Sanjay had no clue how to appeal to a broad range of customers like the guys at Samsung and Apple.

I actually agree with your opinion. But their are a few benefits of having a built in battery, By not having a removable battery they don’t have to include the plastic around the battery compartment that’s used to “hold” the battery in place, so it does give them a little more space to work with, thus allowing a bigger battery to be placed in the device. Other then that, I don’t really see the benefits to the consumer.. at all. I’d take a phone with a removable battery anyday for the simple fact that If i like the phone, it should be my choice to take a new battery, or get a new phone. I shouldn’t be forced into one way or another the way it is now (which means “new phone” most of the time). I don’t care if it doesn’t have as “slim” of a form factor. You should have a choice, But you really don’t anymore.

Yup they basically gave you access to fastboot that you can’t do anything with for some devices. No common courtesy of a reach around on their part. You are still better off if you have an HTC device to use other methods than their official tool.

Please re-read my comment as I was referring to the old razr flip phones. Brand saturation is a real thing and if you flood the market with 20 different colors of the same phone, your brand loses impact.
