Motorola Droid Razr M (Global)

Recommended Posts

post-79798-0-91545300-1362203079_thumb.j

Droid Razr M is creating a Buzz in Rimweb for obvious reasons -

- Global Capabilities ( GSM and CDMA (Supports OMH with EVDO out of box ) so no programming and waiting for evdo activation needed .

- Decent price tag -(Already selling below 20k)

Have seen many reviews on the phone but am eager to have one from our RIMWEBns...

Its already hotcake in RIMWEB now...

Please share ur experiences

For past 2 days I have been using this phone. I had been in RCDMA all these years and my handset journey was HTC Hero-Nexus S - Galaxy Nexus. So automatically my comparisons would be based on these.

PROS:

1. Size - really compact size. I would say ideal for persons who use voice and SMS a lot and occasional usage of others.

2. Screen size - For a compact phone the screen is really big at 4.3"

3. Screen quality - this was the only point I was worrying BEFORE buying this phone. Now I am very satisfied with screen clarity. The inbuilt wallpapers are sooo good.

4. Any GSM or CDMA is really a cool feature. Though I have not checked with CDMA sim, I hope that too would not be a problem.

5. It is in Android 4.1.1 Jelly bean. The phone is smooth and I found no lagging in normal usage.

6. Battery is good but not excellent. For your daily usage it should never let you down. But if you use 3G a lot you will need a battery back up. Since it has an in built battery, u need an external battery pack, on days when you are out using 3G for maps and other heavy browsing. For normal browsing and unlimited talking u can rely on this 2000 Mah battery.

6. Network reception is good. I was travelling some 40 kms in car and talking all through the journey. I did not have a single disturbance.

7. Call quality was really good. But my Galaxy Nexus was still louder

8. USSD codes, call waiting, call conference and all other GSM features are working, except Call Divert(which I will elaborate below)

9. 3G and wifi working well.

10. I love Motorola home screen

11. The phone looks good and like a premium phone.

CONS:

The only issue I am having with this phone so far is Call Divert. Since it is Verizon Global phone, Verizon does not allow call diverting outside its network. There is no menu for call divert. Even if we try the codes it says 'Call forwarding Disabled outside Verizon network'. Waiting to find solution for this issue. Please help me.

Other than these I have not used much. If you have any query, please feel free to ask, I will check and inform you.

he is frank enough to admit and it is no surprise that these are no where close "feature wise" to the flagships of samsung or htc or even sony. the maxx range is a trendsetter visa-v the battery. being a user of a droid razr, i can vouch for the build quality, sturdiness and looks which no other brand can come close to.

That certainly seems positive, but with his statement "We've inherited 18 months of pipeline that we actually have to drain right now, while we're actually building the next wave of innovation and product lines" speaks a lot about the churn they are planning. it obviously means less focus on current devices and the "new wave of innovation" will be at the cost of devices currently in the market or coming up in next 6 months. Even since i used Photon, m a moto-fanboy but this certainly is no good news. Moto has also ditched a few handsets in giving upgrades and this surely shows there is a problem deep inside either with the fragmentation or the handsets lined up to be treated with priority

Rimweb guru SougataDC already using some wifi tethering app from play store with his unrooted sgs3. I think he can guide you.

BATTERY: I am updating it to EXCELLENT from good. Even for heavy usage it never let's you in a day. Yesterday I was using it heavily and I had 30% by the end of the day. I have postponed my idea of buying a battery backup, I may not be needing it. Normally for such usage I would have charged the battery by evening in my Galaxy Nexus CDMA.

Also I find GSM to consume very less battery when you travel. When I travel in overnight train from my place to Chennai, in CDMA phones battery would drop by 30%. But in this I find the battery to drop by less than 10%

Ganesan sir, comparing GNexus battery life with ANY Motorola Phone's battery life is an insult to Motorola, imho... My RazrMAXX gives me 3 days of battery life and I have to charge my GNexus three times a day...
