In any case, I know there are the most recent flagships out there that someone was nice enough to state in a response post. How's verizon's family plans?

I wasn't impressed with the bionic. I'd get the X2 or the Razr first.

I hear all this stuff about the Razr but no love for the Galaxy Nexus? I would love to have that 4.65" 1280x720 screen.

No Bionic screens of death other than the one I run over on the dyno. No dropped calls either but if your on the ****ty radio and system files I could see that as the OTA and OG stuff for the phone is junk, I don't run either so perhaps that's why. Mine is also clocked at 1.3ghz on the dual core and is stable with 30 hours use on the battery.

I was between the Nexus and the Razr... In my mind these were the major pros why I choose the Razr over the Nexus:

-Razr comes with 16gb internal memory and a 16gb sd card... can upgrade the card to a 32gb (like i did) and have a total of 48gb. The nexus is like an iphail with solely internal memory and is stuck at 32gb

-Razr has an HDMI port on the phone. You can get an HDMI to micro HDMI cable and plug it right into your tv. With the nexus you have to first wait till they actually make the docking station, buy it and then buy a HDMI to micro HDMI cable to hook it up to your tv

-Razr has better front and rear facing camera

-Razr has the same processor as the nexus

-Razr will be one of the first phones to update to ICS, although the nexus comes with it.

Just picked a G Nexus for Xmas and it's great so far. Verizon networks are way better that what I had before, Sprint and AT&T. The phone is really nice, great screen and the best battery life of any Android phone I've used so far.

Edit: CES is next week, there will a bunch of new devices announced there.

I ( and Lanz0r if he ever posts ) am an indirect ATT/Verizon/Sprint rep and I have both an ATT Samsung Galaxy S II and a Motorola Atrix 2. I can preach on about both phones, but that would be the wrong approach. The right one is....

What carrier are you on?
What are you going to do with the phone ( As in just calls/text/email, or more high end stuff like Pandora/Youtube/Netflix )
Is battery life an issue?
Ready for an upgrade?

Kind of the wrong info to get from a phone salesman Matt. For shame.

Bull**** it's not. Vegas just had a soft rollout.

Infuse 4G
Inspire 4G

Infuse looks like a poor man's S II, but I wouldn't recommend the Inspire since it's near the end of it's life.

Since you know so much you should know that the Atrix and the s 2 are not lte phones, and as a matter of face the infuse and inspire are also not lte devices. So how can you have first hand expirence with an lte service and you don't evan have or know what phones are lte.


To the op is your going with vz go with the razor, if you want to stay with att wait 2 months and we will have a quad core HTC that's said to have great battery life

Also the infuse has been end of life since the HTC vivid came out 3 months ago..

Not sure about any of the newer android phones but my Droid X from vzn with unlimited data is pretty damn badass Lol. I'd prob go with a Razr after my Droid X breaks down.
