I dont really want the hercules.. 4.5 is too big and this seems like the flagship phone .. do you guys think it will? if not.. guess im rolling with the sensation but id rather have this so what you guys think?
And i cant switch carriers which sucks
anyone please?
Maybe.....
There's been no mention of T-Mobile getting the SGS2 anywhere. AT&T and VZW will get a LTE variant this year. Sprint will get one but there's been no mention of timing. The Hercules is due in September so it seems highly unlikely T-Mobile would get both the Hercules and SGS2 in the same year. Maybe sometime next year but by then there may not even be a T-Mobile US.
I plan to buy the RAZR, but if buy a US version here in India, will I get future OS upgrades or will my phone be locked?
I had this same question whilst buying my HD7, the shop dealer showed me a T-mobile HD7 and a regular one. Fearing the fact that it will be locked while upgrading, I bought the regular(local) one. ( there was a good 10k difference between the two.)
And like we all know there are two versions, Motorola Razr and Droid Razr, if I pick the latter, will I not be getting any benefits/upgrades or there will be no problems at all?
Hi
Not relevant to the question you have asked, but I have one question and one point:
Question: How much cheaper are you offered the Droid Razr compared to the regular Razr?
Point:
I had found out re Blackberry, that the new 9930 (CDMA version of 9900) does not work with Vodafone in India as Verizon has put some block on it. Ebay sellers in India state that the 9930 will not work with Vodafone India.
Now, could there be a similar block with the Droid Razr as well?
As to your question, I am sure someone on XDA would post the upgrades as they become available for the Droid Razr, it might not be OTA, but I don't think I have heard of an update that has been released that XDA have not also made available manually.
Let me know if the Droid Razr is significantly cheaper than the Razr. If it is, I don't mind visiting Mumbai to pick it up at a cheaper price.

Hi..
Firstly, the device hasn't hit Indian shores...secondly, like I mentioned, when I wqs going to buy the HD7, the Tmobile was 10k cheaper than the legal/local one... I got my for 28 and the US version was 18k...that's a lot...thirdly you are right, someone would post the update here and I don't need to worry about the warranty, as the phone itself doesn't have any, considering its a US device...i am just wondering if its worth the gamble...
If the price difference is as big as your HD7 experience and I could check out a piece in store before committing my money, I would take the risk in buying a Droid Razr. Rs.10K buys a lot of additional stuff, pays a lot of bills...
(Also subject to no network blocks in India like I had read about the Blackberry 9930).

i honestly doubt there will be any sort of block...just that is shouldnt turn out to be a CDMA..as these type of phones dont have a SIM card slot...yes, agree 10k is a lot, but paying that extra 10k is also a lot of peace of mind.
If something goes awry tomorrow, i know i can screw Motorola's happiness. But if the phone is unlocked/jail broken and a US edition, i can say good bye to that 18k and head to the Himalayas...
Your call, all I wanted to know is that can I have a working/functioning US version here in India...?
Also do you know there is a Driod Razr and a Motorola Razr. Droid ones are for US and the rest are for global..

US version ie Driod Razr is a CDMA device and most networks in India are GSM so i suggest not to go for the US Droid Razr coz CDMA devices are generally locked to their respective networks and Indian CDMA operators wont entertain Verizon devices...

I have to agree. Its safe paying that extra bit. Also, am not planning to buy it anytime now seeing the current chaos of some having the green tint and not others...a couple of months lets say?
Hey does the droid razr have more dev support as compared to the galaxy S2.? i was considering to buy one of them and wanted to know which one fares better in this aspect,as its really important. Guyz please help.
I'm sure more dev support will be coming once moto rolls out ics.
As far as what phone to choose, best advice I can give is to go to vzw store and play around with the demos of both and see which one "feels" better to you.

He's from India, so he's gonna buy it unlocked. In that case, check the prices of both of them. The RAZR has a better build quality but the S2 has more dev love, courtesy is unlocked bootloader.

Yeah il be buying it unlocked. The price of galaxy S2 is a little less than RAZR here,and for me i want the device to last a good 1 year since i wont be uodating before that. Either should i wait for one of the nexus devices to come out.?
The GNex has very poor radio reception and no micro-sdxc slot.
Hello all, I never had a motorola and coming from an HTC EVO 3D... so this phone is all new to me.
I was thinking in buy an razr maxx to use in Portugal. I can find some razrs to sell from verizon (so i guess they come from USA) but my question is to know if i can use it in Europe and more exactly in Portugal? Will it work fine with my Portuguese SIM card? Something i should know?
Other thing, can anyone advise me if this is a good choice? With so many new phones, like SII, SIII, ONE S, ONE X, should this be a good choice? Or should this be the best choice?
Thank you for all the information that you can give me and help me to decide.
Bump! I would also like to know if this will work since Im currently in germany

I no longer need this information as I've decided to buy another phone.
Thanks anyway.
Yes, if you're on ICS, then this phone will work on any GSM carrier if you put the SIM card in.
Does anyone know if is truly coming to Verizon or not? Just curious on your thoughts. Would think if it was they would bring it prior or same time as new G3
