    The short OS update window is the biggest drawback to Motorola IMHO. I had two Motorola G series phones several years ago, and I liked them overall. I wouldn't pay a bunch for a Moto phone either.

    I'm window shopping while expecting my Pixel 6a to get hit with the battery update issue. Google sent me $100 already for the problems, and I can trade the Pixel 6a for $40 (Best Buy will buy it without the need for any purchase). So I got $140 of house money to play with.

    That Razr is a 2024 model with lots of RAM and storage, free - - so long as I switch to Total Wireless for two months. The deal is a total of $110 for phone + two months service. I used to use Total Wireless, and was satisfied with them.

    Mainly wondering if I'd like the Razr enough for a year or so, which is realistically the life of the phone's OS updates. I

    I've watched too many movies where they cut off someone's finger to use to access a vault.

    I suppose getting tortured until you give up the code is slightly better.

    I think the new Razrs are a great form factor, but I'm too damn cheap to ante up for one

    Update: I went with the &quot;free&quot; Moto Razr deal from Total Wireless. If the phone totally sucks, I&#39;m only stuck with it for 2 months at TW. If it&#39;s good, or just OK, I&#39;ll use it until I find something better (Black Friday?) and then sell it. Searching around for the best option for selling my old Pixel 6a, I ran across this site -- apparently it&#39;s legit, and their offer for my 6a ($66) is a decent bit higher than all the other trade-in sites I found ($40):</p>

    I'm still happy with my Pixel 9 after 7 months. Ms CE got the 9 Pro a couple months ago and it's also nice. The screen is noticeably better than the regular 9 screen, and the phat soon camera is cool. I'm still not totally grooving with the way that they organize photos, but i prob just need to get on board.
