          The best thing about this handset is the unlockable bootloader.. Gotta love it, right??

                    No doubt this is the best QWERTY Android out there. And the Droid 4 previously.

                        I think screen is too thick. It should be thinner and will be easier to press keys in the top row, and user will think they own a touch phone with wide screen and big keybard rather than a normal querty phone

                            It's clear that Motorola want to make phones that can be cheaper than the other android smartphones but give almost the same performance than the others.

                            qHD with Colorboost is better than just qHD for example. Atrix HD have a HD screen with Colorboost which is better than any smartphones in the market. Even the GS3 can't be compare to the Atrix HD Colorboost display.

                            8GB internal memory it's enough but 16GB is better still 8GB make the device cheaper expecially when you can extend the memory up to 32GB.

                              Why don't you make such a phone with TV-tuner for all markets?

                              I don't have TV and don't want to have it but sometimes I need it and smartphone with TV-tuner would be the best solution.

                              And of course Motorola-style design, qwerty keyboard and one thing is also needed - hardware keys for dial and some other phone actions like Nokia has.

                                  I need the 3300 mAh battery version.
                                  I need the kevlar protection.
                                  Then I will buy it!
