Best phone ever. I got a custom AOKP ICS ROM on it, and it's awesome. I still can't believe the excellent battery life. ICS is a big step up in Android ease of use, IMO.

in my opinion it is irresponsible of Charvaka to keep praising his phone as 'best phone ever' even though it has earlier been pointed out to him that the screen of his phone is very delicate and fragile and liable to crack easily.

1.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Phone, Unbelievably Fragile Screen, May 7, 2012
By Maya Cook (Clementon, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX 4G Android Phone, Black 32GB (Verizon Wireless) (Wireless Phone)
The
Droid Razr Maxx is the best phone I have ever had on all levels except
one, and that one is enough for it to lose four stars. The screen is
incredibly fragile. Incredibly. As in, it will break from a short drop,
possible even onto a soft surface. Some users have even had it break
under touch, as in, while being used as intended, as in, not even being
dropped. Despite an internet full of screen complaints, both Motorola
and Verizon will deny that they have heard of the problem and will blame
you for abusing your phone. If you were smart enough to get insurance
and it breaks within the first few days, as has happened to many,
Asurion may try to avoid replacing your phone and accuse you of fraud.
For fun, google "Droid Razr Cracked Screen" and read the hundreds of
stories of phones cracking under normal use. For bonus entertainment, go
to EBay and browse all the phones with cracked screens being sold for
parts. Gorilla glass is great for being pushed on, but is very, very
weak on its edges.

So, if you're rough on your phones, are
clumsy, like to keep your phone in your pocket, or otherwise expect the
durability of your older Droid phone, you have two choices. One, don't
buy this phone. Two, buy it, but insure it IMMEDIATELY (don't wait even a
single day), and treat it like a Faberge' Egg until your protective
case arrives. Even then, still treat it like that egg. Because lots of
peoples' screens have broken from short falls while inside a case. Yes,
it is that fragile.

If you are extra-careful with your phones,
and have always skated through your two years with your phone still
looking like-new, you are ABSOLUTELY NOT IMMUNE from these problems. Buy
the insurance. Seriously. My husband treats his phone positively
reverently, and here we are, two months later, looking at expensive
repair or even more expensive replacement.

In a just world, these
phones would be repaired or replaced by the companies that put their
names on it. In THIS world, expect to shell out a lot of money to
replace your best new phone ever. Because the injustice of paying $99 to
replace a phone that only lasted a week is better that what many of us
are facing. Insurance: get it. Yes, even you. And best of luck. Because
you'll need it.

If you were looking for the good, look at other
reviews. Yes, it absolutely is fast, bright, amazing battery, decent
camera, all that stuff they said. But it's useless when you're looking
at shelling out another $250 for a new digitizer and screen.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this phone, April 18, 2012
By David Thompson - See all my reviews
This review is from: Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX 4G Android Phone, Black 32GB (Verizon Wireless) (Wireless Phone)
I've
had my razr maxx for a month and a half and the screen is cracked. This
gorilla glass is NOT what they tout it to be. The phone has never been
dropped and spends most of its time on a table hooked to a charger while
I use blue tooth to connect to it. I picked it up to take a picture and
noticed a crack straight down the screen. I called Verizon and they
were no help at all. Seems, if there is any physical damage to the phone
at all, the warranty is void. It didn't matter that I didn't cause the
damage, it was damaged.

Motorola is no help at all, they have the exact same philosophy; it's all my fault regardless of the facts.

I
have the insurance, so it will ONLY cost me a hundred bucks to get it
replaced, if and when the insurance company actually gets stock of the
devices. Seems there are a LOT of failures for this device. For a cell
phone that they advertise as being so tough, all it takes is a smile
from across the room to crack the gorilla glass screen.

While I
was at the Verizon store talking to a clerk about this problem, he
skylighted the glass screen and it cracked again in a different place.
When you have one crack the integrity of the glass is totally shot, so
you WILL get more of them as you use the phone. A quick search of the
web turned up scores of other people that had the same problem.

It's
a shame too. This device is fast, the battery lasts a couple of days,
really pleasing display and works well in fringe areas. Could be a
killer phone.

If the screen didn't break so darn easily.

I guess though Charvaka doesnot believe in rebirth, I am forced to believe he and Rashmun might have been 'made for each other' in their previous births:)

He/She probably might have taught 'cut/paste' too much or some left over 'vasanas-love/hate' from previous birth:) j/k

it's irresponsible for charvaka aka panini press to advocate breathing air as breathing can easily kill you (if you breathe the wrong kind of air). I dont have the exact post on where he advocated breathing but I'm sure he never actively dis-advocated it either.

simply sharing a different perspective from Charvaka on the screen of a phone is enough to annoy Propa.

Samsung has promised to investigate claims of a Galaxy S3 burning up and melting in Ireland.

"There have been recent online posts displaying pictures of a Samsung
GALAXY SIII that appears to have heat-related damage at the bottom of
the device," the company wrote today on its official blog. "Samsung is aware of this issue and will begin investigating as soon as we receive the specific product in question."

A Ireland-based forum poster yesterday published images on Boards.IE
showing what appears to be a Galaxy S3 with burns along the bottom.
According to the poster, "dillo2k10," the device was sitting in a "car
mount when suddenly a white flame sparks and a bang came out of the
phone." The device, the forum poster said, "burned from the inside out"
and melted its case. Interestingly, the phone kept working, but had lost
its signal.

"The phone was destroyed and it slightly burned a piece of plastic on the inside of my
car,"
the person wrote. "And they are refusing to give me a replacement; they
had to send it off. Probably nothing I can do, but I'm really annoyed.
That could have burned the side of my face or through my pocket and my
leg, or set fire to my bed. It's very dangerous."

Samsung's Galaxy S3 has quickly become one of the most sought-after
iPhone 4S alternatives on the market. In her review of the Galaxy S3,
CNET's Jessica Dolcourt said that the new handset "is an excellent,
top-end phone" and awarded it an Editors' Choice with four stars out of a
possible five.

Samsung said today that it will provide more details on the heat
issue once its investigation into the matter is complete, adding that
it's taking the issue "seriously."

the problem may lie with the phone or it may also lie with the car charger. this is probably a one off incident though it would be good for owners and potential buyers of the phone to keep track of what Samsung says on this issue though.

They already do. Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Samsung Galaxy S3 and the HTC One X all have more than 300 dpis -- the threshold level beyond which the human retina cannot distinguish pixels when looking at a screen held in one hand.

We are talking about Rashmun!

PS: Retina display is an Apple trademark so Android devices can never have it.

True... technically Android phones can never have Siri or iOS or Retina Display as those are trademarked terms. But Steve Jobs himself defined 300 dpi as the threshold for retina display.

http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/44728/what-exactly-is-a-retina-display
When the iPhone 4 was introduced, Steve Jobs made the following definition:

<blockquote>
At a distance of 10" to the human eye (or retina), a pixel density of 300PPI is the maximum that an eye can distinguish.

</blockquote>

[I only checked up on the first two of the three phones you mention.]

Samsung Galaxy Nexus is banned in the US for a patent infringement of Apple (so i did not do any further research on it):
http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-18705285

You are right about the Samsung Galaxy S3 having retina display:

when it comes to display, Galaxy S3 boasts of 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display (1280x720 pixels resolution) and pixel density of 310ppi (pixels per inch). iPhone 4S has pixel density of 330ppi, which is expected to be bumped up to 367ppi in iPhone 5, which is expected to boast of 4-inch display (1280x720 pixels resolution) with 367ppi.

http://www.mobilenapps.com/articles/2917/20120701/samsung-galaxy-s3-vs-iphone-5-battle.htm

Of course, the Galaxy S3 has only just been released in the US (in July 2012):

AFAIR, Samsung used to make Apple's displays and now LG does it too.
