Why the DROID Razr probably isn't the Phone for You

Lately in smartphone news, there has been great hype over the new, updated, Droid Razr. The phone came out yesterday, November 11th. If you don't already know, This is a dual-core phone, dual-cameras, 4GLTE, and a Super AMOLED display. The big selling point: It's the thinnest smartphone on the market. Which leads me to think that a lot of people shouldn't be getting this phone. Now sure, if you aren't clumsy with your phone, or you don't excessively use your smartphone, then these don't apply to you. But If so, keep on reading.
The only reason I say this Razr might not be for you, is if you just "want" the thinnest phone. After I state these reasons, you might second guess upgrading your phone... unless you're coming from the original Razr.
Let's start with battery issues. If you're a power user; or even just use your phone a lot; you'll probably be putting an extended battery on this phone, especially since it's dual-core, and 4GLTE. These facts ruin the point of the"worlds thinnest phone". Also, since this phone is pretty expensive, you want to protect it. Meaning, there will be a case on the phone. What's the point anymore?

Siri Ported to iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4G!

Earlier today, iPhone hacker "chpwn" successfully ported Siri to the iPhone 4, and iPod Touch 4G. If you don't know what Siri is, basically it is a personal assistant, built right into the iPhone 4S. The only problem; It's ONLY on the 4S. That's where iOS hackers come in. Here's video of Siri running on the iPod Touch 4G-

Motorola RAZR Heading to AT&T?

The Motorola Droid RAZR was announced last week and we already know it will be heading off to Verizon with some blazing fast 4G LTE. Earlier today, it seems that the same RAZR has passed through the FCC with some AT&T bands, which means the Verizon "DROID" won't be present in the name.

It would make sense for Motorola to release a freshly remodeled RAZR to multiple carriers like they did with the original RAZR. If this phone makes it to AT&T, I actually might consider this over my iPhone! I guess we all just have to wait and see until then.

Samsung/Google Galaxy Nexus Specs!

So, last night, Samsung announced their extremely hyped Galaxy Nexus. Yes, Galaxy Nexus, not Nexus Prime, like all the rumors pointed to. This Galaxy Nexus will have a 4.65 inch-screen, with a display resolution of 1280 x 720p (Super AMOLED HD). It's like an HDTV, in your pocket! For RAM, it's holding 1GB, and for storage options, the Nexus will come in two different versions; 16GB, and 32GB. The Galaxy Nexus wil also be using LTE, and possibly, soon, HSPA+. The Galaxy Nexus will not be available in any different color options; only black. There is aso a 1750mAh battery aboard the deviceThe only thingI am weary of about this phone is the camera, which will be a 5MP back-facing camera, with 1080p video recording. For the front-facing camera, it wil stay pretty standard for font-facing cameras; 1.3MP. Now, the Galaxy Nexus will be running Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich. One new feature is FaceUnlock. FaceUnlock will be able to recognize your face to unlock the device. There will be a little different design for the lockscreen, and homescreen, but nothing mind-blowing. That's pretty much the Galaxy Nexus! So, will you be getting one of these soon? Or maybe getting an iPhone 4S? Tell us in the comments below.
