There is nothing that says ICS won't get on the RAZR. How soon or if ever would be the real question.

The hardware buttons will be a visual annoyance and wasted space once its upgraded to ICS. The resolution is already lower and that will never change. Plus I just like the look of the Nexus much more than the RAZR. 🙂

Not to mention no replaceable battery, locked bootloader, carrier bloat, moto bloat, etc.
 
Can anyone confirm the rumors (yes I know "rumors") that the RAZR will only have GPS and an accelerometer (sp?). So that would mean it doesn't have a compass, barometer, FM radio, etc....

I've been reading a lot of comments from different sites comparing the Galaxy Nexus and the RAZR and these were the biggest ommisions in order for the RAZR to be so thin. Just curious.

I can't tell if you are joking or not. The Razr will certainly not have a barometer or FM radio. I am not sure about a compass.

Not joking at the time but it does sound ridiculous when you re-read my post. The Galaxy Nexus supposedly has a barrometer and FM radio capabilities. Current Android Tablets have the barrometer as standard equipment and the FM radio capabilities have been in all the Moto phones (I think, correct me if I'm totally off base).

My point was what were the trade offs for the RAZR to get it so thin despite having LTE. I first thought that it was just the removable battery but other sites/comments suggested that they gave up a lot.
 
Here's the spec sheet from Endgaget about the Galaxy Nexus:

http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/18/samsungs-galaxy-nexus-gets-official-android-4-0-4-65-inch-hd/

The specific text where it mentions all that is included:

Other specs include an HD Super AMOLED display (1,280 x 720), a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 5 megapixel rear camera (with LED flash), a 1.3 megapixel front-facing cam, 1080p video recording and playback, a newfangled panorama mode, a 3.5mm headphone jack and Bluetooth 3.0. You'll also find USB 2.0, 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi, an embedded NFC module, accelerometer, compass, gyro, proximity sensor and even a barometer -- yeah, a barometer. Finishing things out, there's 1GB of RAM, 16 or 32GB of internal storage space and a 1,750mAh battery

Notice where it says the NFC module, compass, gyro, and the last one a barometer. According to the sites the RAZR has none of these (as well as 802.11a).
