They've got the mid-range RAZR M, the Flagship RAZR HD and the even better RAZR HD MAXX. I'm lookin at getting the RAZR HD MAXX with it's 32 hours of talktime:D The M and the HD come in black or white. The MAXX is only black.

Moto will also give you a $100 discount if you have a Motorola phone with ICS that will not be receiving a JellyBean update.

Since 32 GB is more money than base they probably shouldn't have listed the GS3 as 32 only. It makes it look a little favorable especially with the 2GB of ram which in combo with an unlocked bootloader = future proof. Long after Motorola says screw you the GS3 will be running newer OS's and not slowing down on it. The good news is "Developer" editions of the Moto's were announced and the regular models might get bootloader unlocks anyways. Irreplaceable batteries are a bummer but the capacity is a plus for sure.

Still waiting for my next phone... come on qualcomm where is my quad core LTE chip at!

With the bootloader able to be unlocked with a tool, as you said, that's a moot point. The color on the S3's screen is pretty cruddy and people have also seriously complained about its battery life. All I know, is I want an LTE Jellybean phone with enough battery to get me through one day of heavy usage.
 
:( I just bought the Razr Maxx like 3 months ago. Oh well i guess. I do like my razr maxx although i wouldnt mind the razr hd maxx

Well like I said, you can return it for a 100 dollar credit if you really want, or you could try selling it ASAP on craigslist for a decent amount.
 
Looks like mine is suppose to get jelly bean as of now.

It better lol. Motorola denied the Droid X2 an upgrade to ICS out of pure "It doesn't make us a dime". They sold a dual core smart phone with an operating system that could not take advantage of it (Gingerbread did not truly support SMP despite the kernel used) and then didn't bother updating it months later.

The RAZR and MAXX will run Jelly Bean easily. So would the Droid X2 lol. With the improvements in the tool chain Linaro submitted to AOSP, and the things google has been working on Jelly Bean surprisingly flies on 2011 hardware. Something you do not usually expect is a new OS to be faster altogether.

All non plus Super AMOLED blow anyways, thats going for the RAZR HD as well. To achieve this fake ass 1280x720 they have 2 colors per pixel instead of 3 and a healthy doubling of green pixels for the sake of the eye. I will probably have to suck it up when it comes time for my next phone but my current phone has a Super AMOLED PLUS which is 3 colors per pixel, you know like a screen is supposed to have. The software display DPI is balanced against the effective screen resolution to make it appear correct in scale but when you start counting those sub pixels the screen all of a sudden isnt 1280x720.

Nearly all the good 1280x720 phones are using Samsungs Pentile AMOLED. Its a damned shame. I blame the marketing department.
