They work fine on my phone, although I rarely transfer files using a cable these days.

Yep, I haven't had issues with microUSB cords.  They tend to be pretty standard across the board.

Ok Desi.... I just got approved for an upgrade of my work phone. I'm researching the available models but thought I'd list them here in case any of them stood out to you.

Motorola Razr
Droid 3
Droid Bionic
Droid Charge
Incredible 2
Droid X2
Motorola Razr Maxx
Droid 4

I can also get an iphone 4s I believe but I prefer the android phones.

Looks like the Droid Bionic is the best from the reviews I've read so far.

I'm more partial to Samsung devices lately, but I'd personally probably go with a Droid Razor Maxx if it's a work device. Battery life is unparalelled, it's fast, sleak, and has a nice form factor. The only downside IMO is the screen, compared to some of the others out there right now.

When are you looking to get the device? I ask because Samsung has a device unveiling scheduled for May 3. The rumor mills are churning with speculation as to what will be unveiled, when it will be made available, etc. At this point, it could be anything, and might not be worth waiting for. But I figured I'd at least mention it.

unfortunately i'm limited to the models listed and for some reason they never seem to have any samsung models or I'd definitely go for those. reviews i read slammed the razr's screen so i'm leaning toward the bionic. im ok with the reduced battery life since i have chargers at home and at work. still... maxx's extended battery life would be great for work travel. thanks for the input!

If that's the case, then I'll rank the ones you listed, taking into account age of the devices (From initial launch), specs (most use Tegra 2 processors, which are outdated), form factor, etc.

Really, there are only 3 phones I would consider out of that list. The rest are really too old from a technical standpoint to justify buying at this point in their service life.


1. Motorola Razr Maxx (Jan 2012) - Newer 1.2 GHz TI OMAP4430 dual-core processor
2. Droid Bionic (Sept 2011) - 1.0 Ghz Tegra 2 dual-core processor (over 18 months old processor)
3. Droid 4 (Jan 2012) - Same specs as Razr but with sliding keyboard and 4" screen)

Others

Motorola Razr (Nov 2011) - Same as Maxx but smaller battery
Incredible 2 (May 2011)
Droid X2 (March 2011)
Droid Charge (Jan 2011)
Droid 3 (July 2011)


You may find this site helpful. It's great for getting and comparing specs.

I just requested the Razr Maxx due to the extended battery life and faster processor. Hopefully I can get it today. I'm upgrading from the original droid so this will be worlds better than what I have.

Thanks again!

Oh and the Bionic supposedly has the TI OMAP4430 CPU instead of the Tegra 2 so it was supposed to be pretty nice.

That's right, it was the Atrix that was the Tegra 2. Those were mirror phones, but the Bionic got pushed back 5 months and Motorola changed the processor. All the sites I was doing a quick comparison with just listed it as Dual Core, no specs. If that's the case, processor is a push, then. although the Razr and Maxx are clocked at 1.2 Ghz vs 1.0 Ghz (but you could change that easily with rooting ... if you were so inclined).


Another point I'd make, which I neglected to mention earlier, is the Razr is going to get Ice Cream Sandwich (very soon) and future updates as well. The Bionic is, in tech terms, older and will take longer to get updates (if at all).
