So far the negative reviews for this phone are based off of what Amazon
is charging for it ($249 for upgrade customers, $111 for new
customers)...the phone is $300 in Verizon and $300 with a ton of
accessories over at Costco today.
MH(VHMSM(PWM(VWHSLCVLWNow, as for the actual phone
itself...it's good. The screen is a new AMOLED Advanced which means it
can use the same pixel density as other AMOLED screens but provide a
better color saturation...while the Nexus and upcoming Rezound have
higher pixel ratios the screen on this still looks great.
The
operating system is android's kind of new Gingerbread with Motorola's
overlay called Blur. It slows the device down a little bit but provides
their own custom interface that creates a more flashy transition
between apps, screens, etc.
