I mentioned earlier in the thread that my wife and I both bought HTC Rezounds, and after having it for a couple of weeks it's really flying under the radar... this thing is fast as all get out and videos look incredible. Maybe it's just me, but I don't dig the super-saturated look of the AMOLED screens, and the RAZR display was definitely not as smooth as the Rezound.

Really like the Razr so far. One gripe is the TONS of bloatware they put on it. But at least you can hide apps you don't use. The 4G is absolutely sick fast. I got 18mbps down and 7mbps up the other night. Still learning it and setting it up the way I want.

I'll check that one out...

I tested a RAZR in the store and got about 4Mbps down and 15Mbps up, which I though was really weird.

Question for you catfang... on the Razr in the store, when we opened a website, you could see the desktop icons thru the browser app and it was quiet annoying.. does yours do that, is it a setting or something? Of course the Verizon sales rep didn't have a clue...

nope they must have had a setting for that. Transparency maybe? Funny I can't find how to change that on my phone (yet). I can't find settings for the home launcher either. Its pretty good, very smooth actually, but I'd like a little more customization. Stock for now, mabye ADW or Zeam later.

Yeah, we tried it on two different phones in the store??? They were both the same.

I like that Rezound... we got to check that one out now. My wife doesn't like the AMOLED screen "look" on the RAZR.

yeah I don't really see the big deal with the screens. Tech nerds argue for pages on the blogs about it (like the huddle lol). I didn't look at the rezound since I ordered online and saved $20. Probably more because I wasn't charged the stupid activation fee. But I've heard the rezound is a nice phone. And you get the beats yo. :D

I have a DSLR Canon if I'm looking to take super high-quality photos. The Nexus is going to be awesome to snap spur-of-the-moment shots of my daughter without missing the excitement due to shutter lag. That's all I require of my smartphone camera.

Hardware-wise it's easily the best phone on Verizon and just slightly outperforms the SGSII. It's running a dual-core 1.2Ghz OMAP 4460. The Rezound has a dual-core 1.5Ghz Snapdragon which is older tech than the OMAP 4460, so although on paper it looks faster, IRL the Nexus will outperform it.

The only concern between the two is the quality of the LTE radios where HTC might have the edge in signal strength, but that should be correctable with an OTA update.

I don't think there's a transparency setting for the browser, IIRC. That sounds more like a bug with Motorola's GUI that runs on top of the Android OS.

The beauty of Nexus is vanilla Android without heavy processor and memory intensive "skins" like Motorola and HTC's Sense UI.

PS - None of this matters if they never release the fuging Nexus. I want my Ice Cream Sandwich goodness, Verizon!

Yeah, what's the freaking deal... the Verizon rep we talked to last Thursday said he knew when the release date was but couldn't tell... of course, he may have been full of poo.

I heard that there has been a lawsuit filed between Google and Verizon. Verizon wants to block the addition of Google Wallet on the Nexus, and supposedly that is against FCC regulations. (?). I can't post a link but go to Facebook and look up Android Fans and there is a story about it, or maybe one of the Android forums.

WTF does Verizon care about Wallet? Isn't that kind of like pissing in your own bed?

    • Maybe it's because I played LT until some fat fug folded my knee, but I love watching footwork drills at the combine for olinemen. I call it fat man ballet. Base and balance are everything when it come to being a lineman. Everything starts there. Sure there's lateral movement, hip flex, bend, hand fighting, strength, push, etc, but without a strong base and good balance, the rest aren't happening. Those drills are specifically designed to show you things and they stand out big time if you're watching their feet and ankles. You can tell what doesn't feel like a natural movement. I remember watching Greg Little and I was blown away at how bad his footwork was. Like unbelievably bad. To the point I thought maybe he had never practiced one of these drills before. I remember when we drafted him, I thought to myself well fug, there's a wasted pick.  Aside from the added weight, I wonder if that's part of why Bryce didn't throw. Standing next to all the other QBs, that footwork and mechanics would stand out like a sore thumb, much more so than at a pro day. Bryce is good at some things, improvising and eluding and he does appear to have that clutch gene, but his throws get ugly when he tries to arm it instead of having that solid stead base to throw from. 
    • He could be 6-9 and he would still suck with the issues he has.

(WGHP) — The Carolina Panthers are preparing to host their first home playoff game in a decade on Saturday and fans of the team are calling for one of the franchise’s legends to return.   Throughout home games in recent seasons, the Carolina Panthers have frequently selected an iconic player from the team’s past to serve as a “Legend of the Game” and bang the Keep Pounding drum as part of the team’s pregame ceremony.     CHARLOTTE, NC – OCTOBER 29: The Carolina Panthers ‘Keep Pounding’ drum is on display prior to game featuring the … Read More Players who served as the “Legend of the Game” in 2025 include Greg Olsen, Mike Rucker, Jordan Gross and Captain Munnerlyn.     CHARLOTTE, NC – DECEMBER 01: Former Carolina Panthers Rod Smart introduced as ” Legend of the Game” during the … Read More Speaking of Munnerlyn, in a recent episode of his “No Cappin With Cap” podcast, he floated the subject of the Panthers selecting Newton to serve as the team’s “Legend of the Game” if they were to make the playoffs.   Newton responded “-1ØVẼ” to the post in his unique style of typing, seemingly expressing his approval of the concept. He also recently shared his emotional reaction to the Panthers returning to playoff contention in a recent segment of his “4th&1” podcast.   Newton returning to Bank of America Stadium as the Panthers host their first playoff game since Newton’s 2015 MVP season would likely generate a raucous reaction from the fans, similar to when Newton returned to Charlotte in 2021
