I'm eligible for an upgrade and I was thinking about upgrading to the Droid Razr Maxx from the Droid X. Can anyone who has this comment on it? It's supposed to have great battery life, and overall the reviews I've read have been positive. Only thing that is keeping me from pulling the trigger on the purchase is all the reviews on the lackluster camera I've read. I may just wait to see what comes out in the next few months.

Battery is huge in the razor...something like twice the power of current phones

Yeah, not sure if it's worth the purchase just for that and the faster speeds. I'm actually still very happy with my phone and don't really want to pay a few hundred for a product that is so similar. My wife just switched from her Droid X to the iPhone. I don't think I'll go that route..not an iPhone fan at all.

Chalk one up for the iphone and blackberry.

Which electronic devices can't be protected from identity thieves? Find out

But I guess when your phone manufacturer is using an operating system that is free...you do get what you pay for.

One of the reasons I would never sell used electronics of any brand. Just use them until they are no good and either shelf them or destroy them.

Hi y'all. Re-bumping this thread vs starting my own. 1st a disclaimer, I haven't read the whole of this thread so I hope my question hasn't already been addressed, if it has & I can be directed to a peg to check out will be fab! Anywayyyy..... I'm new to the smartphone world & tbh my android is driving me mental! Problem is MUSIC! This is of course a very big thing for most of us around here & I'm kinda wishing I'd got an iphone, except that I never could have afforded one so moving on...

Ok, problem is: My new phone is a Samsung Galaxy S2. The stock music player is shit so I downloaded & spent the hours setting up winamp only to find the shuffle, which is all I ever use, SUX. So, I've now downloaded & am in the middle of setting up doubletwist. Everything is doubled( ) up, there's nowhere to tell it where to save music ie I want to have 32GB worth on my SD card + everytime I re-open my computer & doubletwist it seems to undo all the setting up I did before. AAAAGH!

What music app do people use for their android & howTF do sort it out? TIA & sorry in advance if I've missed something obvious. :?

e.t.a. oh & how do you tell it what to sync vs it just auto-syncing? I googled this & it said select boxes under your device but those boxes are greyed out for me, ie can't be selected. Grrrrr. :fp:

Thanks 81. Fuk this is driving me insane! Like how & whyTF can it be so difficult!??!?!

Doubletwist shuffle seems to be working so far except I only have 1500 songs in there so that ain't gonna last long + there's no lock screen display on double-twist so it's gonna suck on the bus to work tomorrow morn. Grrrr.

Do you guys know of any other android gurus around here?

Thanks. I'll try that. I've searched for answers to stuff & come across android forums but haven't gone so far as joining one yet. I'll check that one out.

What? Yeah I know where to get android apps from I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with music on androids. Doubletwist & Winamp see to be the most recommended apps but I'm finding them shit, or Winamp is shit for shuffle & I'm finding Doubletwist being difficult to set up.

Do you have to be online with that all the time? I'm not interested in doing that. I want to have it on the SD card.
