Really.. That would be nice since I'm due for an upgrade, unfortunately last time I checked the Verizon website was down so I can't see if this is still true.


Edit: Well it doesn't seem to be available for me anymore, I get a pop-up window saying "Your unlimited data plan is no longer available"

Me too. I think they just didn't have their systems updated until recently. Oh well. It is what it is.

My take was that all that was related to issues with some orders from before the share everything launch. So rather than fix peoples problem getting the device with their unlimited retained who had orders get messed up one by one they just had the system flag accounts they thought might have tried to place SIII orders before Share Everything. Or that was my take based on what was reported on everything by Droid-Life and some of the comments there. Basically if you had went through the online process before Share Everything and then didn't pull the trigger I figure your account might have got flagged to get the SIII and retain unlimited. Hard to say for sure, but it was seemingly random and could see such a flag only for those that investigated pre-order causing a seemingly random availability to keep unlimited. They may have just had some window for those disgruntled sorts to get their SIII. Who knows for sure though.
 
I am liking these new pics at droid life, did you notice the back has no hump near the camera, I'm liking that!!

I also like the camera lens in the middle and nice wide open speaker grill. I'm looking forward to this seeing this phone, it may replace my still running sweet origl DInc.

I am not crazy about that dead black empty space below the onscreen buttons, why have that?

They need room for the radios and the larger battery while keeping the phone thin and getting rid of the hump....... (well, maybe)

I too am liking what I see. Please sir, may I have another? :smokingsomb:

The Atrix HD is just about the same size and has a larger screen so you know the bezel is thinner.

They are functionally the same size, since the Atrix has a fixed nav bar scarfing up space. Does anybody else find a fixed nav bar on a phone sized display insane? Gaming on them is nigh impossible, not to mention it is wasted display space.

I think I would be more accepting of this direction if App developers were putting their own nav options in the app and hiding these until you do something that makes them show again. The video player apps that hide them are reasonable compromises and other apps could do something. A game could have a certain menu option to turn them back on or even just a non control area of the gameplay to touch that would reshow them and pause the game.

As it stands with very few apps using them well though I would rather not have them also.
 
ugh.
Why do companies continue to put the speaker on the back of phones and tablets when on-screen buttons give them plenty of real-estate to face the speakers forward?

And even if not the front the sides would be better than back. Even Apple gets that.
 
Here's a couple pix from Droidforums.net.



This is the first I've seen how thin the Razr HD appears to be. The 2 slots at the bottom edge are most likely the micro-usb charging port and the micro HDMI port.
There is some speculation as to what is above the 2 ports. Could be a cover for the Sim card, or a cover for the memory card. It doesn't appear to be a rocker switch, but ?????

Any speculation as to what it might be?

Also the camera hump is gone. I kinda got used to the hump on my "X". I could tell what was up on the phone just by feel.

At this point I think I'm looking at my next phone. (Barring any "bonehead" specs)
 
Wow, never seen that photo, the side profile is super thin, I wonder what the spec is for the side. That looks really good.

Seems alot of photos showing up this week, are we that much closer or are these old photos?
 
Those are the original leaked pic's Droid-Life was asked to remove awhile ago. Pretty sure its similar in thickness to the X/Bionic as the mUSB and mHDMI seem to be a good bit less than the thickness. Might even be thicker than those and that is why the camera hump looks mostly gone. It does seem there is a very slight RAZR Maxx sorta almost no camera hump kinda slight slope though.

I am mostly curious about screen size and how close to the same size as the iPhone 5 overall it will be. Afraid it's not going to be differentiated well in this respect.
 
Is it me or does that side profile pic look a lot like how the iphone looks from the side with the black and the metal looking bezel? Do you see similarities?

Yes, I definately see the "iPhone look" when viewed from the side, but I'm ok with that as long as it doesn't have the same antenae problems the iPhone had.

I thought if we got a few leaked photos, it would satisfy my appetite for a while. NOPE! I now find myself subscribing to the phylosophy of "To much is never enough"

One good thing is because we're getting some photos, that means the pre-production/test phones are out there and logic then follows that the release date is getting closer. (barring any major problems with the test units)

Anyway, here I am, patiently/impatiently waiting for the release of my next phone, the Razr HD!

Black rectangle with shiny edge. Pretty sure Crapple will have the HD band just before release date. They own the patten on black rectangles.
Kidding but not really. I would not be surprised at all if apple finds something to sue Moto for. We have every reason to be worried.
