Confirmed: Motorola RAZR will be their 1st device with a "Bootloader Unlock solution"
Confirmed:
Motorola RAZR will be the first Motorola device to come with a ""Bootloader Unlock solution""
...but the option can be removed by operator's request
This means SIM-unlocked WORLD VERISIONS of the RAZR will have the bootloader unlock option, but some carrier (cough*Verizon*cough) phones won't

not all american carriers are the same, just some of them, mostly in the USA
in my country we have a couple of carrier who sell their phones even unlocked and with no added crap

don't worry:
obvious troll is obvious

good news i think

Hi... I have purchased motorola.. I am quite satisfied with it... Also I want to know about Razr now... How is it?

have preordered @25.10.11 - Depending on the latest news my german version will be unlocked and has no LTE on Board. (you dont need LTE in Germany, cause Tmo and Vodafone are not yet completely LTE ready)
For me its the hottest phone ever... i love steel, glass and kevlar. The galaxy nexus is to plasticlike for me.
Will write a short review when it arrives..

does this mean that only RAZR will have an unlocked bootloader or will all the new motorola handsets have an unlocked bootloader..??and does it in anyway affect the chancesof my Defy getting CM9 (because people have been saying that its difficult to put CM9 on defy because of the locked bootloader)??

It's not out yet, nobody has one. Soon.
Regarding the bootloader, Motorola was talking about the RAZR specifically

i didnt really like the original razr's, but i had a rizr for a while and it turned out to be one of my favorite phones.
i haven't tried any moto phones since they went android, but this new razr and the droid 4 look cool

[Q] tired of waiting for the nexus.. will this work for me?

I was kind of bummed when Motorola wouldn't release the Maxx HD to Europe, so I`ve waited for the nexus 4..
but now im done waiting. and flirting with the idea of the Maxx HD.. but will this work for me here in Norway/europe?
Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX HD 4G Android Phone at Amazon and buy without contract(phone only) option.. ?

found out it is compatible with my carrier..
but cant really decide.. can someone please tell me why i should pick this over the nexus 4?

Nexus 4 = no LTE, no microSD slot. If either of these things matter to you, then don't get the Nexus4.
Razr HD international XT925 is probably a better option for you than Verizon's XT926, as the Verizon phone is bootlocked, carrier locked, and doesn't support international LTE bands at all. Currently the Razr Maxx HD is Verizon XT926 only, however the 2500mAH battery in the Razr HD gets me through most days with more than 50% battery remaining.
Hope this helped.

cant find other than the VZW razr hd at amazon?
and how will the dev community embrace this phone? not alot of development yet to find..
edit: i do not care so much for LTE as it is not so avaible yet in norway. so i really would like the maxx hd if i buy a motorola again..

[Q] Droid Razr HD Developer Edition?

Hi all, I'm going to buy a droid razr hd. I have to pay full price to keep my unlimited data plan, so I was wondering, should I buy the the developer edition. I have a samsung galaxy 3 (unlocked and rooted) now but I find the reception is really bad, since I live in the country. I like to install custom rom's and everything that goes along with them, and from what I've read the bootloader will probably never be unlocked on the consumer edition razr hd. Any opinions welcomed.
Thanks
mozz

At full retail go for it.

Definitely do yourself a favor and pick up the Dev if you have to pay full price. It's what I did, and it's nice. Along with the unlocked bootloader (which obvious comes in handy for ROMs and Fastboot) you can go ahead and root JB, without having to worry about saving it from ICS.

thanks all, for the input

[Q] What would they call the global version of the new DROIDs?

Over here in south east asia, motorola's smartphone market aint that wide as compared to samsung.. However I've been a moto addict ever since the early RAZR V3 days... With my current RAZR XT910 battery giving up on me very soon, I'm hoping that the new Droid MAXX would be rebranded and released to the rest of the world...
But, what would they call it? IF they ever release it?
I'm gonna hold off buying any phones until i've at least heard something about global versions of the new DROIDs...

If it goes worldwide it'd probably just be a Moto MAXX

Verizon and Motorola announced at the time these phones were announced that they had entered into an exclusive contract for Motorola to supply Verizon with DROID branded phones. I suspect that part of that agreement is that the phones are exclusive to Verizon worldwide, though we'll see.
My bet is that the Moto X will be Motorola's international offering.

Good octacore phones that compare to droid Maxx 2?

I have a droid Maxx 2 but hate that I can't unlock the bootloader. What's a good phone close to Maxx 2 not on Verizon but works in us on T-Mobile with 4g and up? If possible also in same price range.
