Hello from New Mexico! I joined this forum because of a very recently acquired Motorola Droid RAZR M. 

 

 

My first smartphone was an iPhone 4, but I had an HTC Droid Incredible to play around with - rooted it, flashed it, and now I'm running CyanogenMod on it. Unfortunately, it was a handmedown phone from a family member, and it has a junk battery - and considering the age of the phone, and the Android version, I figured it's not worth replacing the battery. It's now collecting dust. 

 

I ditched the iPhone for a Windows Phone (Nokia Lumia 928) and I love it. However, due to unforeseen events just a month ago, I've been handed down a very recent (purchased in August) Motorola Droid RAZR M (albeit, the glass trim on the back shattered after someone - not me - dropped the phone on concrete stairs). Since Verizon allows users to take their 4G SIM card to almost any other VZW 4G LTE device, I decided to use the RAZR. 

 

So far, I like that it's a bit thinner and lighter than the Nokia. While the Nokia does a very good job with photography, I'd fully like to try out the 8MP camera on the Motorola - though that's kind of impossible, since there's several cracks in its view (thanks to the concrete stairs - anyone know where I can get the back cover replaced for cheap? Or where I can get a back cover myself? Motorola wants $159 that I don't have, and I have repair tools). 

 

However, despite that, it's a good phone, and while my dreams of CyanogenMod on it are now quashed, I am (rather impatiently lol) waiting for Android 4.4 KitKat to hit this phone.

 

-------------

 

Aside from messing around with smartphones and application development (that I'm a total newb with), I dabble around across various arts - mostly music, photography and canvas mediums.

Welcome Aboard.  Rest assured, you are not the first and will not be the last to obtain an M only to find that you cannot root or unlock on the most recent OTA system version.  Flashing is like a bad itch, no matter how much you scratch it or try not to notice, its still there ......
