Longer battery life changes how you use your cell phone.

Since I know in a pinch I can squeeze out DAYS on Maxx, I don't hold back anymore.
I mean since I routinely plug him up at bedtime... Why worry and fret.
So... I run the screen at 100‰, leave GPS on..whatever.
I mean, lighten up.. Literally.. Hahaha have fun.
Plug up every night though.
We don't have to worry about our phone not lasting a day.

That's what I do. As long as my phone lasts until I get home, I'm golden. Everyone has different needs and such though. I'm a pretty heavy user and still last 15-18 hours. My screen brightness is on auto, full background sync, 5 email addresses, gps on, dropbox sync, FB, etc. Still have more life than my Rezound had with extended battery and still a better phone. ALL GOOD!

That is the very essence of the Maxx. Whenever someone talks about how great the Nexus is or the S3 or whatever (i'm sure they ARE fantastic phones) I don't feel envious. Cause with the Maxx, I can have EVERYTHING on all the time, and not worry about it dying. It's cool to have a phone with Jelly Bean, but if you can't unleash it, what's the benefit? Smartphones are ALWAYS being reigned in and held back for fear of battery life. But not with the Maxx, This thing can do it all, all day long. I love this thing.

I no longer have power outlet anxity and could easily forget to charge my phone for a night without any significant impact.

This is how a smartphone is supposed to work!

Have to agree. The Maxx has the best battery of any phone I have ever owned by far. I originally got the Razr after a few days I realized I would definitely need the Maxx because there are so many things you can do on the darn phone.

Amen to that. I live a few hours away from my fiance and when I went to see her last weekend I forgot my charger when I'm with her my usage is even lighter then usual but I was able to make it from Sat morning to Monday afternoon before I even hit 20%. I have a car charger but since most car chargers are rapid chargers I only use it when I have no other option. Rapid chargers will deplete the longevity of batteries over time a lot quicker then home chargers and since the maxx's battery is non removable I stay away using one as much as I can. I'm not sure if the moto car dock is considered a rapid charger but since I usually switch up phones a couple of times a year I refuse to buy any car dock that it made for a specific phone anyway.
