kalibar posted:In any case, a hypothetical Nexus Prime release is legitimately worth waiting for. If the NPrime came to VZdub in its rumored form, the Charge vs. Bionic discussion is all going to seem a bit silly. At that point, there will be two Android options on Verizon: "Nexus Prime" and "sorry, you did it wrong." You mean the Prime will have a keyboard? ...Oh.

Bambi posted:I've been running the leaked Gingerbread update for my Droid 2 Global for about a week now and it handles like a dream, so much so that I will probably even skip over the Bionic and wait for the Droid Prime or something even further down the line. I can't even believe I'm saying this, but the new Blur is great. There's a leaked Gingerbread for the D2G? I thought it was only for the Droid 2. Is it still rootable with Z4root?

If the Droid Charge is "comically gigantic" to you, thickness-wise, then what in the god-fearing hell do you want? It's only 14mm at its thickest. (going off Wiki's dimensions for it)

Maybe it's just part and parcel of my attachment to phones with keyboards, but any time I've handled a thinner phone (than my D2G), I felt like I was going to snap the drat thing like a twig. The 14mm thickness mark (Droid 2/Global, the Charge at its thickest, etc.) is pretty much perfect.

chocolateTHUNDER posted:Again, what exactly is the problem with this if they continue to sell a shitload of them? If they sell a lot, it shows that people still want the product despite what you seem to think are problems and that they are succeeding in what they're trying to do. I don't think that's what it shows at all, actually, but hey.

Because I was thinking about waiting a week or two to hear ground tests of the battery (and I may just do so regardless), but some good words from you may make me day-1 it.

notwithoutmyanus posted:I'd get it now though kyo, considering the $1 phone deal with amazon ends...tomorrow? Well, I was asking more because apparently the battery in the Droid 4 is the exact same as the battery in the Razr, so I wanted input on how the Razr's was to prep me for my eventual Droid 4. But good to hear. Now I'm stoked as gently caress.
