Hi,
I want to buy droid razr maxx can anyone tell me things that I will miss and things I will like since I only used HTC in android phones

So that we don't get too much off track due to extracurricular activities ...
To the OP: I previously had an HTC Droid Incredible, which was a decent phone. I liked some of the HTC Sense widgets like the Calendar and Favorite Contacts widget. The Maxx's stock Calendar widget is pretty poor--it only shows an agenda format rather than giving the option for a monthly format. The stock Favorites widget for the Maxx is kind of cool, but rather than giving you the option of having a full screen widget with your favorites arranged as a grid, it's a 4x1 bar that you can drag open, then select the contact--looks cool, but in practice, requires more than a simple touch to call someone. You can place individual contacts as shortcuts, but that's a little less elegant.
The DInc's still camera was ok, but video cam was terrible, even after the update that allowed HD recording. Notwithstanding some complaints about the camera on this forum, I find it to be solid, and have been able to take some pretty nice pics, as long as ambient light is good. Like most other smartphone cameras, low light pics don't come out very well. The Maxx's video camera is excellent.
With my Maxx on ICS, I am happy to say that it has been essentially bug free. There are a few minor glitches here or there, but in no way would I consider the whole package "buggy." Contrast that with my DInc, which had problems with intermittent automatic reboots for no clear reason. I've had my Maxx for 5 months, and not once has it crashed and required a reboot.
Build is excellent--very solid, not plasticky like my old DInc (as well as many other phones out there). Screen is perfectly fine for me (some people feel the Pentile screen is inferior to other screens, but I'm not so picky). The phone is fast as all get out--I don't know what was wrong with the one hakimmmmmmm used.
But let's face it, the main attraction is the battery. Of course it's super awesome. It allows me not to have to worry about charging it halfway through the day, it makes me not feel guilty about keeping 4G or Wifi on for extended periods of time, and it doesn't make the phone heavy or give it a Quasimodo hump in the back.
Anyway, why not try for yourself? You could always get the Maxx, and return it within 14 days if you agree with hakimmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. But you won't. You'll love it.
