Also the screen on the HDs are the same size as the original droid razr/maxx if you don’t count the menu, back, and home buttons. One of the other main reason I’m going to apple.

I’m definitely saving up for an iPhone 5 forget Android I waited for the original razr maxx to come out. (I bought the same day it came out back in January.) I was told by Verizon I would receive ICS within 2 weeks but didn’t get until 6 months later after JB was announced and the HDs was announced also at least with apple you can have the top Phone and recent update for at least a year.

Does anyone know exactly how the roll out “phases” work?

I just got the OTA popup notification on my RAZR HD. I denied it and will wait until i know how to keep root or if their is a new method for JB. Someone in the VooDoo root keeper XDA forum said they just tried to restore after the update with no luck.

If you have a feature phone on your account that is eligible for upgrade you can use that to upgrade your smart phone and keep unlimited data. The employees at Verizon should be able to help you with that. That’s hood I got my subsidized RAZR maxx HD.

Serious question: Who’s fault is it that Moto’s phones get delayed updates, Motorola or Verizon? I know Verizon is 100% to blame for the Nexus line, but was it Motorola’s decision to ignore my original RAZR and push the HD version’s first, or was it Verizons?

Boner alert!!! I just got the OTA update for my Razr MAXX HD!! I just had to reboot, and hold the up/down volume buttons. The trick is to quickly plug/unplug your headphones when the droid eye thingy appears. This resets the update flag so you get bumped to the top of the OTA list. I just did it on my MAXX HD and my wife’s regular HD. Remember, to quickly plug and unplug your headphones. You need to do it real fast, like your headphones are pleasuring the phone. You can make a little sound too if you want, like, ‘oooooh’ or ‘ahhhhh’. I didn’t do the sound, but my wife did.

I’m in the same boat. I have 3-day until I am due for an upgrade and my Thunderbolt will be used for target practice. I really like the feel of the S3, the fact that the numbers of S3′s on the market will make accessories easy to find, and the smoothness of operation. On the other hand I really like the build quality of the Razr, the closer to stock looking ROM and the longer battery life.

The Droid DNA is not an option for me. After living with HTC’s “product support” for two years with the Thunderbolt, I will not be buying a HTC device for a while. I know that they make good hardware but (non existent) promised ICS upgrade was the final straw.

Now that the Razr has Jellybean I think my decision has been made. Unless the S3 get JB by the end of the week, I will be rocking a white Razr HD by the weekend!!! I am actually not that big a fan of the Razr’s home screen implementation but that is what Nova Launcher is for.

It is the principal of it. Obviously I know my way around rooting and ROMs.

So first it was “Moto sucks bad updates rah” and now instead of “Wow Motorola kept their word” now it’s “blah verizon is pushing back the updates for the s3 blah” and not “samsung sucks”? ….okay.

Did you buy the phone out right? Or sign new contract? How did you keep unlimited data?
