I purchased a Motorola Razr with a cracked lens for a great price $30. I thought that I would get the lens fix and used the Motorola Razr instead of my Droid Bionic. Little did I know the Motorola Razr is one of the most expensive phones to fix the display. When I called local cellphone repair shops I was quoted between $250 to $300 to fix the display. They said the part is very expensive and that’s why the price is so high, higher than Apple iPhones.

One of the repair shops told me if I get the part they will install for $80. So I did a search on Amazon for the display for the Motorola Razr and the least expensive price I could find was $250 for the part. Boy I was bummed out, I could not believe the display would cost so much.

Eventually it came the time for me to sell my Droid Bionic and use the money from that sale to pay for my replacement lens on my Motorola Razr. The Droid Bionic was sold on Ebay with the Lap Dock and Window mount for $300 enough money to fix my Razr.

I contacted Motorola directly and behold they are only charging me $111 with shipping to fix the cracked display on my Motorola Razr. I thought about starting a business fixing Motorola Razr’s displays and charging $200 and paying $111:-) .

The online submission for the repair went OK I can’t say it was smooth, I should of called them directly but instead I completed the repair request online which stated that my phone would be returned within 5 days after the received the equipment.

I waited a few days and mailed out the phone Motorola received the phone on October 17th and I got a confirmation email.

I waited for another email about my phones shipping status in the mean time I started using an Apple iPhone 4S while I was waiting for my Motorola Razr to get shipped back. I thought it seemed appropriate to use the iPhone because the new iPhone 5 launch date was October 21st and it would help promote the phone like it needed any help.

Today is October 27th and I still don’t have my Motorola Razr back as yet when I called and spoke to Motorola they could not give me a date I could expect the phone phone back. When I inquired about the 5 days they said I would have my phone back I was told that was an estimate and not a guarantee. I had no recourse but to wait at their mercy or have them send my broken display phone back. This is not good business for Motorola and Google which now owns Motorola.

I will keep everyone updated with my progress but in the mean time I am using the iPhone 4S and somewhat liking it which is not good for Google/Android/Motorola because I sell mobile phones and I am the original Wireless Consultant according to a Google search.

I got a email right after finishing this post.
