Would you trade your Bionic for a Droid Razr?

If Motorola/Verizon finally figured out that they angered users by bringing out an improved phone (Razr) over their heavily hyped  and heavily flawed flagship phone (Bionic) just outside of the return period, would you consider returning your Bionic for a free Razr?

Good point Tidbits...the DINC2 did have its problems, but by comparison it was more stable (atleast for me it was)...guess i have to remain optimistic and have faith the eventual software update for the Bionic will fix the issues i am experiencing :smileyhappy:

Hard to compare an LTE device to a non-LTE device.  Like comparing apples and oranges

Very true PJNC284, the 4G capability, amount of memory and processor on the Bionic makes its quite incomparable but after a few weeks on the Bionic I realized all that was not really needed for my use..I admit it was a poor choice getting rid of the DINC2 for the Bionic based on my expectations of the device, and just fell victim to the hype lol.

Lesson learned is that we need to wait until the phone is proven before buying and being the 1st kid on the block to have them.

Then other people would be complaining and we would be going "wow glad I did not get that one".

The Razr is no better and is built on the same system as bionic, its no different. Software, hardware and frame are the same. Same poor antenna and loaded with VZW crap as wel as moto specific things. I would venture to say when those forums start reporting that you will see the same issues. I hope not.

Absolutely NOT. I recently had a RAZR for 4 days while waiting for my Bionic back. In the 4 days time the average battery life I got was roughly 5.5 hours where my Bionic I get 13 - 14 doing the exact same thing.  The RAZR while thinner then the bionic is still BIGGER in Footprint.  The Kevlar back on it is a Gimmick and provides NO benefit tot he phone.

 

Also I lost data connectivity on the RAZR much more then I ever did on my Bionic.  While the RAZR is a little faster then the bionic, it is not enough faster to warrant trading to a different phone with the other flaws it does have.

 

As much as I hate to say this because I am not a big fan of Apple, but if Motorola would test and put phones out in the same manner as Apple (meaning completely tested and somewhat bug free) The Bionic would have been a huge hit and the Bionic RAZR wars would be nothing.

 

You would think that Verizon would also DEMAND the phones are tested this way and do their own testing to make sure the phone meets the standards people expect.
