Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback! I am reviewing the Rogers version of the RAZR HD LTE. The first thing I noticed on this phone was the speakers amazing loudness. But seriously, forget about the Galaxy S3 - this thing is competing with my alarm clock.The second thing I noticed on this phone was that the screen is amazingly beautiful - coming from a Galaxy Nexus (which compared to today's standards is nothing short of underwhelming). The third thing I noticed about this phone was that the battery life is great, I charged this thing to 50% and got almost 4 hours of NONSTOP USAGE battery life out of it,The fourth thing I noticed was that HDR shots in the camera were well detailed and beautifully exposed. But without that setting they were over exposed and slighly blurry. But there is no "rendering" time between as with other cameras, there's no rendering time for panoramas either. Also there are many settings such as stereo, concerts and high wind sound settings for video and time lapse, slow motion, timer settings, and quick shots (Takes 6 simultaneous photos).The Motorola smart actions are really helpful and suggest certain modes based on the way you use you phone - it sounds gimmicky, but it works. IT WORKS.Some letdowns are:The camera softwareThe Motorola software in General has a few annoying glitches such as not being able to select a name from a list because the fade in and out animations keep playing - but that was an isolated issue to a friend named Jaiden.Annoying Rogers Bloatware that cannot be disabled.Ships with Android 4.0.4 but an update has been announced for late December to Jelly Bean.Overall, the Motorola RAZR HD LTE is a great phone that you should spend some time thinking about. It can be found for $400+ online as well as $99 on Contract at Rogers.
