Do you store it in a glass of water to keep it fresh?

And thát one cannot understand from a company so close to Google. What is support like in SA these days? Got zero reply from their SA e-mail address a month or so back.

My Defy got sent in for repairs for the earpiece speaker that was distorting. It wasn't waterproof anymore after that. It got some moisture build up at the top of the screen. This caused the notification LED to stay on permanently. I sent it in again and after a 3 week battle with Autopages water damage claim I approached Motorola Mobility. I emailed them and got a reply the next day. They asked me for a detailed description of what happened. Was informed that they will swop my phone out with a new one. They offered to courier it but I picked it up from them at Eco Park in Wendywood. That whole process took 4 days.

Not bad at all.

Let's hope Motorola make a huge comeback, esp here in SA. Can't wait to see what tablets they will come up with now that they are part of Google. Hope we get their latest stuff in SA quick-quick.

 

[BeVonk!]

Tablets will probably be renamed to Xoogle now ... hehe. Waiting for Xoogle 7".

First department that needs to be fired here and maybe even overseas is their marketing department.

True. Their marketing is hopeless. The products are brilliant but no-body knows what is going on unless you are a geek watching such things.

They're not so crap in the overseas, the US RAZR's (the LTE versions) have had ICS for months already...

Lol....My baby's RAZR is on fire.....boom....boom boom!

 

[Syphonx]

I like the RAZR HD a lot and wouldn't mind getting one. Maxx only for Verizon for now so we won't see it here I guess.

Wasn't the original Maxx eventually released in Europe? We could see it one day.

I wanted to get the Razr on my upgrade but after feeling the Sony Xperia P in my hands it was like hmmm, Motorola just felt like a toy, my old Defy felt plasticky and the feel of the buttons was just a bit bleh, especially the power on the top, the Sony it's just so nicely crafted, the buttons feel awesome. Though the Defy could take a knock it still had scratches on the screen, the Sony has got a dent or two on the bottom but the screen is still awesome.

That's where you're wrong. The RAZR is probably the most solid Android on the market today, with a metal frame and Kevlar back. Pretty much everything else is made entirely of plastic.. I just wish Samsung followed their lead. Also wish that Motorola would upgrade us to at least ICS this century, preferably JB.

 

[Lupus]

My Sony has a unibody aluminum shell? The kevlar on the back of the Razr still felt plasticky.

 

[TJ99]

Well then it's better than the Xperia S, because that feels quite plasticky, and not as sturdy as the RAZR or even the Galaxy S3 (which is all plastic).

Edit: Kevlar is a fabric, it's supposed to fell like that. But it's extremely strong.

That was the one thing people commented on the Xperia P, it's supposed to be under the Xperia S but the body is all aluminum.

Dont know. Vodacom have supported the RAZR, Atrix and Xoom. But with Motorola being really k@k with marketing their own product.....and sales of these products leaving much to be desired in my opinion (not because they are bad...but because Motorola SA really just killed it)......not sure how keen Vodacom would be on continuing the support.

Will have to wait and see.
