    You forgot Motorola RAZR D1, same specs, more RAM (1 GB), better battery (1785 mAh), BSI and HDR on camera, better video recording (480p), but no flash, no NFC, in my country (Mexico), D1 is cheaper.

                                What a shameful device when considering that's it's made by a electronics giant with infinite in-house components and infinite money on the side to be 'sacrifized' for a top budget device that could 'rule them all'. Companies like Nokia and Sony which suffer major financial problems (one after the other) seem to 'care more' and 'sacrifize more' resources in favour for budget users/ emerging markets. Once again, what a MAJOR shame to rebrand yesterday's technology under the name of Galaxy, all in the name of greediness and zero interest in contributing to technological advancement of societies with 'disabilities'/ 'disadvantages'
