Coolness.
Of course, my phone (RAZR Maxx) comes up for contact renewal in October — but I have to say, I'm still quite happy with it and its remarkable battery life.

I have Jelly Bean and it has one serious problem: apps can't be installed on the SD card! In fact, files can't be downloaded there; I have to download to my PC and move the file to my phone's SD card.
Okay, that sounds like a serious bug.
Honestly speaking, I'm not sure what the plusses are of JB vs ICS on my phone, but I'm sure it will be better for being bright and shiny, right?
Nexus X will be out by then, and if rumors hold true will sport a kevlar body and 3000+ mAh battery, much like the RAZR Maxx.
@Gary – Well I’m not sure the Kevlar body means much to me, but I’ll certainly give anything with a large capacity battery a serious look.
I'm not sure that it's a bug. I think it may be intentional, to keep people from using SD cards to share apps that otherwise would have to be purchased.
There's a way around it, but I haven't tried it yet. I'ma Nervous Nellie when it comes to messing with my phone.
The decision to stop including phones with SD card slots was primarily motivated by manufacturers (who wanted to sell multiple storage-size variants and charge a premium for trivial amounts of space) and certain carriers (especially Verizon) who don't like people rooting phones (for a while, an SD card was necessary to do it).
Gary, this is the first I've heard of that! I don't think I like that trend.
🙁
Well, getting root isn't that bad on most devices (and it's trivially easy on anything with the Nexus brand name). Additionally, between cloud storage and a bit of clever programming and an OTG cable, you can just use a cheap thumb-drive. So, while it's not an ideal road that we're stuck on, we do have some off-roading capability. This is Android, not iOS or Blackberry we're dealing with.
