Why the RAZR vs. Nexus debate is Stupid

Honestly -- I find this debate to be frustrating. I was as torn as anyone. Then I really put the differences into context and you know, you really are comparing the 80's Celtics to the Lakers(how's that for dating myself.) 2 giants at the top of their game. Really an embarrassment of riches. - and I still may return my Razr if I'm BLOWN AWAY by the Nexus. The Razr has just suffered from bad timing in it's marketing and has been over-shadowed.

What drives me a little crazy is the RAZR haters- seriously you may prefer the Nexus- but don't rip the razr as if it's a piece of crap. Objectively rated- even if you are a Nexus fanboy and we take the position that the Nexus is better- you'd be talking about comparing a 9.4 to a 9.2- best case scenario in favor of the Nexus. I could easily argue the RAZR is slightly better. Just get over it.

And btw- many of the features of ICS are already in Blur- notification deletes, resizing widgets, panarama phone mode, zero delay shutter(almost), etc

Face unlock, beam, nfc, screenshots-- give me a f'n break- these are bells and whistles.

Style- Geez- it's not even a comparison- the Razr is groundbreaking- the nexus is well, not much different than the S

Build quality- hard not to give this to the Razr

Radio quality- again Moto.

Motocast -- really cool feature and a major advantage for the RAZR- never worry about remembering to upload music, pics and video to the cloud, or paying for cloud storage.

Whether you prefer blonds or brunettes, you really can't go wrong with either phone. There are better things to argue about.
 
While I understand what you are saying... this is a somewhat difficult subject in so much as people tend to get overly protective of their choice of expensive gadgets.

Which handset is better is honestly a moot question... it's whichever one you choose. Both handsets have advantages and both have disadvantages.

I am going to now close this thread as I do not want this thread becoming the start of a turkey day slug-fest. If you disagree with my decision please feel free to PM me or one of the other mods. Happy Thanksgiving!
