[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
If you don't care about BL Unlock, it is a really, really, really good phone. At least I'm judging from my point of view on my RAZR (EU, not VZW).

If you care about it, I suggest you to wait for a while.

The VZW one 90% won't be unlocked, but the EU one should...or...well...in reality Moto said it already was, but they lied so it is locked and not unlockable, anyway probably the unlock will come with ICS (I repeat, ONLY UNBRANDED GSM/UMTS RAZR).

Or, anyway, I suggest you to not buy the GNex, just 'cause the ASUS PadFone is coming to the market. And it is a beast.

FIXED READ EDIT BELOW

Has anyone succesfully unlocked the bootloader while on this firmware with S-ON?

Sasktel Canada WWE	1.58.669.2	PG7611000

I had serious problems with it back when the WFS was first released, I've been stuck on it ever since.

I keep getting ERROR [191]: when trying the ROM on htcdev.. Tried alot of the others also..

More to the point, my question is, has anyone had any progress with this?

Here are my phone details incase this helps.

My phone originaly came with a Euro stock ROM, but it was so long ago I forget which one it was. UK Vodafone maybe.

//EDIT

Okay do as this thread says:

Change firmware number to 1.30.401.0 when asked, and flash to this ROM Gingerbread 2.3.5 (v2.13.401.2).zip :

Extract and run installer..

then you will be out of that horrible firmware, then proceed to change your Hboot. :)

I'm not the creator of these methods just reposting them, miguelca is the creator of the Gingerbread link, so thanks to him.

The only bad thing is that they take longer to load after boot. There shouldnt be any performance difference since youre not moving them to a sd card as other devices.

My personal rule is : move games on SD, leave apps on internal space. Have plenty of space though, so it doesnt matter.

Anyone moved from Android to WM7, primarily a Radar? Thoughts? I'm on a GS2 right now and considering a switch.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
I did, and I think I made the right choice.

Depends what you are looking for. If you are looking for thousands of apps, no. If you are looking for useful apps, yes most of android ones I found exist here. Few don't but you can only wait. If you are looking for stable, fast and extremely reliable phones, yes. New fresh UI, yes. New integration etc, yes. All in all depends what you want from the phone.

i moved to wp7 from ios and android. i still use my iphone sometimes because of all the themes. android for me was a laggy force close experience. i love my htc titan. i never have any issues and the screen size is great. everything i need to do my windows phone does, just like my android phone did. the only down side for me was loosing all the customizations that android and ios (jailbroken iphone 4) have. if you dont change the look of you phone with widgets and roms all the time then you wont regret the switch.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sinister1:
Android even though I would never have it, is what Windows Mobile use to be, you had freedom and functionality. I went from WM to WP and even though WP isn't bad it does suck elephant balls compared to WM. WP is stable and quicker, I do remember having to reset my WM phone every now and then but if I need to do something simple like create an MMS message with sound, it would do it, if I needed to transfer a file via Bluetooth no problem, If I wanted to add a freaking wallpaper to my start screen I could. Things which I'm pretty sure you could do now on Android. If you do switch over be prepared to give up a lot of your choices.

It's android to Titan, but essentially most gen2 windows phone will have more or less same experience software wise. The hardware choice depends on your taste. Please do remember we don't need processors with size of elephant's ass because OS was designed to rule the hardware unlike Android where you need certain hardware before even thinking of running the bulky OS on it.

[Windows Phone 7 General] voluptuary:
Since you are looking at the Radar and are in the US I assume you plan on being on t-mobile. I would see if you can't get your hands on a HTC HD2. Then you can have both WP and Android, plus it's fun to hack around on. Only down side might be if you NEED a FFC for video chat.

I moved from Android (and iPhone before that) and am very happy here. There are certain shortcomings that will be addressed in time, and as long as you don't need to customize your phone all the time you should definitely give it a try. Its quite a refreshing take on mobile UI/interaction.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ROCOAFZ:
I went from windows mobile (wizard, tilt2 then the htc pure) where i was costantly changing roms and the back grounds. One rom would fix one thing but break another. I just was never satisfied and truthfully i spent more time fooling and changing things at work then i did working. Then i got a windows phone 7 mod for my pure. started playing with it but wasn't sure if i would like it. Then i found a great deal on a HTC surround online and since my contract wouldnt' be efffected and in 6 months i could change if i didn't like it via contract upgrade, i dove in. This was pre-nodo. I was glad for the switch. in the 1st few months though i did have rom flashing withdrawl..damn u xd for getting me hooked. But... i learned to use a phone for what it was ment to be used for. The surround was super stable and the MS commercials were right. Glance and go. I spent less time messing with my phone and more time using it. The live tiles just work. Well contract time came, and i waited watching for 2nd generation phones. 8 months later... att had a black friday sale. Titan for 1 cent. I now own a titan and i WILL NEVER own a phone with a smaller screen again. It's freaken amazing. My only hopes that would make it even sweeter will be if Nokia releases one with the same size screen in 2 years. (i have always been a nokia fan at heart for there hardware)

Now the good for windows phone

The integration in the people hub is sweet. Change from texting someone to facebooking them with one button in the same interface! In the contacts, scroll left and everyones facebook is there. I created groups and if i click on "Family" i see all my familys facebook only. If i click on only 1 person, i can see only that persons. No app loading. no wait. how sweet is that. There are countless ways things integrated in the O/S.

if i hit voice, say movies it will bing search the web and present me with a list. When i click on it it shows the list again but with user ratings, what kind of movie it is and how long the movie is. When i click the movie i would like to see, it gives me movie art, same info but showtime to the left showing i can scroll that way. Scroll to showtime and there is the closest place to me that is showing it and all the times with a buy ticket box under it. If i click the movie location i can get directions, phone number and address + website of the theater. if i scroll left i can see all the apps i have currently and any app i could want to download for doing these tasks. If i click buy ticket ( you may have to have msn movies for this but i am not sure) it took me into msn movies to pre-purchase the ticket.

Oh and the directions link i told you about takes you to bing maps with a gps step by step, ready to take you there. If i clicked on the phone number instead, it would dial the movie theater.

There are tons of these little extras you will discover in windows phone, already there, and not talked about.

Just because total amount of limitations.

In every way, starting from missing features and ending on OS design inconsistencies.

[Windows Phone 7 General] atb1183:
from galaxy s 4g to radar

pros:

- so easy, a caveman can use it

- pretty ui transition. smooth

- dedicated camera button

- LED flash, decent camera

- (supposedly) guaranteed to get timely OS updates

cons:

- alternate browser (no opera, etc). there are "alternate browsers" but they are just skins on top of IE9. NO

- no swype (there is knock off but it sucks)

- VERY limited app selection. most are 1-3 stars rating w bad reviews

- decent apps are $1-5

- no gmail app and nice stuffs like threaded view like web version, no priority emails, etc

- google voice apps cost $ for push

- cant "send text to..." by voice via google voice

- cant "send email to..." by voice

- "navigate to ..." doesnt give easy voice navigation like android. clunky to use

- cant set default app for certain action (always send email via some third party app, etc)

- individual volume settings for ring, alarm, music, notification, keyboard

- no speech to text in any text field (i miss that little mic icon on ALL keyboards)

- slow. does things smoothly, but get things done SLOWER than SGS4G. same 1Ghz processor, 512MB RAM.

- no flash. say what you will about flash but having a choice is better than none. plus SGS4G can handle flash video on websites quite well

I'll be selling my Radar soon. bought it cause stupid samsung wont give me ICS/android 4.0

I've made the switch, and I love it.

I went from Evo 4G to Radar.

Yes, you are limited to what you can and can't customize. But as the platform grows, who knows.

I have had no problems with using G-Mail on my Radar.

The quality of most app's are better than android, but the amount is limited. I have compared a couple apps from both platforms and WP beats the performance, and look hands down.

I made the switch and I am happy with my decision.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Alcoholic:
Windows phone is a great phone and it has the smoothest, friendliest, best looking and most featured operating system.

But when it comes to third party support - It barely has any. We don't have any zanga games, we don't have any of those apps you see on TV and we don't have any cool things we can do with our phones.

So, if you're looking for the best operating system - there is no second, windows phone is king.

But, if you're looking for overall functionality - Windows phone is lacking for now.

[Windows Phone 7 General] MexicanAmerican:
I just made the switch this past Sunday. So far, so good.

I switched to Android in December of last year and got the Samsung Captivate (previously had an iPhone 3GS).

Of course, I tried, and tried, and tried to really love Android. Kept saying "Oh, it's so customizable", learned about rooting, flashing custom ROMS, etc.

It is customizable, yes, but just like ROCOAFZ's issue with WinMo, I kept tinkering, flashing and re-flashing. So much time spent on tinkering with my phone.

A lot of my issues with the Android experience also stemmed from just how horrible the Captivate is. Call quality was crap. GPS was totally worthless. Just an inferior piece of equipment.

The Android OS is very customizable, but it's also clunky. Maybe the Galaxy Nexus with ICS isn't (I've never tried it), but every other android phone I've tried does have the clunky transition feel.

Anyhow, I got tired of my Captivate, and I was either going to go back and get an iPhone, or switch to Verizon and get the Galaxy Nexus. Once again, the dilemma. iPhone or Android, Android or iPhone? Well, instead of stressing out about that, I looked up a few reviews and decided to try Windows Phone 7.

I went to the AT&T store, and it came down to the Samsung Focus S, and the Titan. The Titan was really hard to pass up (that screen is gorgeous), but I went with the Samsung Focus S as most reviews gave the Focus S the edge on call quality over the Titan.

As for the WP7 OS itself....so far, it's worked very, very smoothly. I don't do social media. I don't do push this, and push that, I don't use voice commands, I don't care about clouds and syncing, and apps constantly updating in the background, and I don't use widgets.

The only apps I use are one for weather, one to keep track of my checking account balance, and one for sports scores.

I want my phone to have great battery life, great call quality, a good browser, good email support for my Windows Live and GMail accounts, solid GPS (I use ATT Navigator for voice direction, have been using it for years), and solid MMS/SMS messaging, without battery pulls, random restarts, glitches, etc.

My Focus S does all of these things and does them very well. Also, the Zune player is pretty sweet. The Metro UI is refreshing, considering I've been staring at the app grid layout for the past few years.

I will say the battery life is surprising. After listening to music for a good six hours, along with moderate usage, I'm at 53% after having not charged for 15 hours. My Captivate would be at 30%, even after all the customized, battery saving kernels and ROMS.

The only thing I do miss is the flash support in my browser, but that's a small price to pay for everything I've gained for making the switch to WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] OGmackPLRcool:
The post above illustrates a lot of the reasons why I switched. At one time I had an iphone 3gs, and my HD2 which can boot WM, Android, and WP7.

After testing them all extensively I chose WP7 as my go-to OS and dont regret it one bit. The OS has the smoothness and stability of iOS, and the functionality of Android.

For example one thing I truly hated about iOS was the lack of some sort of calendar widget on the home screen. I own an automotive performance shop and I dont want to be screwing around trying to see my next appt when Im covered in grease and have gloves on. I want to unlock and have that information right there for me. WP7 does this very well. My only wish is that the calendar tile would show multiple events, but I am hoping that will come down the road.

While using Android I found myself getting annoyed by the fact I had to manually turn GPS on and off every time I used the maps application. I dunno, maybe Im being a little to critical, but it drove me nuts that the phone couldnt figure out that 1. If I open Maps its pretty damn obvious I want to use GPS 2. When I exit Maps its pretty damn obvious I dont want to have GPS on anymore. As soon as I figured out WP7 is smart enough to accomplish this I was sold. I was so sick of having my battery sucked down while the phone sat with the GPS on in my pocket or in my car.

Battery life is also fantastic. Easily 30-50% more life than any Android experience I have had.

Bottom line, give it a try. Im so glad I did. I finally feel like my phone understands me and tries to make my life easier.

One thing I like a lot more about Windows Phone is that the community isn't 80% jerks. At least from what I can see.
[Windows Phone 7 General] chrisizzle492:
hahaha this is true. but statistically speaking there are more android users so the chance of u finding a jerk becomes even higher.

to stay on topic....... i have owned my share of devices iphone 3g, hd2, sensation, hd7, and others that are irrelevant.

wp7.5 is the reason i switched from android. when wp7 was ported to the hd2 it was all i was using, but complications with charging at the time made me reflash every couple days. also pre mango i felt that wp7 was kind of a hassle sometimes. well from my hd2 i went to the sensation, this is when i got sick of the lagginess. all android phones have lag in the ui, those that say they dont are most likely lying or havent used ios or wp7. so from there i left android and never looked back. my hd7 is one of the first wp7 devices and still runs perfect. the best part of wp7 is that i had no reason to unlock or hack it, except when i bought a bt for my car and noticed the audio was poor quality. so i read up and saw it was a registry value i had to change. really the only reason im back at xda; i was almost free lol.

point of my story.... wp7 works like a phone should; there is no lag ever and u dont waste ur time customizing, hacking, and all that other crap.

if u like wasting ur time customizing ur phone and hacking get an hd2, i mean u can really do anything to that phone at this point.

[Windows Phone 7 General] abn.geek:
I was one of those dorks standing in line on launch day for the original iPhone. Upgraded to the latest and greatest each iteration through the 3gs.

Switched to an Evo 4G, which was the biggest piece of **** in the freaking world and I had to talk myself down from throwing it against a wall every single day I used it. I had a visceral hatred for that thing.

Nexus S was significantly better. I loved that device. But Android just isn't my cup of tea. I'm one of those people who wants things to look pretty. IMHO the closest thing you can get to "pretty" on an Android device is MIUI, which I think has gotten less aesthetically pleasing as time goes on.

Now using WP7 on a Samsung Focus. I love it and hate it.

I love it because it is bar none the slickest, prettiest and downright best UI of any of the big 3. It destroys Android iOS in this regard. The integrated features also blow away the other platforms (Facebook, SkyDrive, Twitter, etc.).

I hate it because, compared to its competition, the 3rd party app and peripheral selection is just abysmal. Every cool new app you see or hear about comes to iOS by default, and very often iOS and Android simultaneously. This is a huge deal for me - I hate not having access.

For now I'm heading back to iOS, but if and when WP7 comes to parity with iOS and Android in the 3rd party realm it really would be no contest.

edit: Also wanted to mention that build quality and hardware design asthetic are important to me. The HTC WP7 devices are the closest to Apple's products on this front (although I haven't seen any of the new Nokias in person), but after having had the AMOLED experience on the Nexus S and on the Focus, I have a very hard time going back to LCD (Apple's Retina compensates for this significantly, however).
[Windows Phone 7 General] MexicanAmerican:
A lot of opinions I read about WP7 are "fantastic OS but the lack of apps keeps me going back to iOS/Android..."

I really hope Windows Phone survives long enough for the marketplace to catch up with the competition and provide those apps that the "great OS but no apps" folks want.
[Windows Phone 7 General] abn.geek:
I do too, it really is a fantastic OS.

My thing is that I really don't care that it's new or that it had more apps at launch or whatever, I care about how it stacks up against its competition right now - which is to say, "not too well". That's Microsoft's problem, not mine. I'm not willing to compromise or be patient - I want what is best right now, not what maybe could be the best 2 years from now.
