After my full review on the Droid Razr I realized that I wrote a lot of fairly negative (mostly nitpicky) stuff about the phone but then said I really like it. I wanted to just add a quick summary of my thoughts, forgetting all the in-depth tech mumbo-jumbo. With that said, here's the Cliff's Notes:
Sometimes when I'm reading reviews about the Droid Razr I wonder if there are two different phones out there by the same name. I love the darn thing.
No phone is perfect for all people, and thankfully there are a lot of great options out there for consumers to choose from. Having said that, I got Razr's for my wife and myself, and my coworker has one and we are all very happy with them.
I've heard complaints about the screen, but it looks great to me. The colors may be a bit over-saturated but I'm not studying the darn pixels, I'm browsing the web or watching a youtube video or using tweetdeck or - heaven forbid - making a call! Screen looks great as far as I'm concerned.
This phone is FAST. It's fast at everything. Seriously. Sometimes it feels like the phone is reading my mind. Navigation, email, calendar, voicemail, web, everything is just lickety-split. The hardware and the LTE network combine for a great experience.
I love the profile. The phone looks sleek and modern, yet feels durable. Even in my Otterbox case it still feels slim.
Battery life has been great. I set up Smart Actions for shutting services down at night, etc. and I'm getting a full 24 hours on one charge for an average day - maybe 10-12 hours under heavy usage. Full charge in the morning gets me through the day. Yeah, I can't take the battery out, but I've never done that with a phone so it doesn't bother me a bit.
I guess people have gotten to a point where they are really interested in scrutinizing every little thing about today's smartphones, and that's fine. Bottom line to me though this is right up there with the best smartphones on the market.
