Well after going thru 4 Galaxy Nexus due to signal problems Verizon sent me a Maxx which arrived today.
After a half day I have a few initial impressions.
Signal: This was the big one it's why I switched. Just walking around in my house the Nexus would fluctuate from 93 to 120 the Maxx fluctuates from 76 to 83. No contest Maxx wins.
Screen : Not as good as the Nexus but not near as bad as some would have you think. I will have no problem living with this screen.
Nav buttons : I truly miss the onscreen keys of the Nexus. It's not a deal breaker, just a preference that most won't understand if they haven't had them.
The phone feels different in my hand, not bad just different than the curves of the Nexus I became accustomed to. After time I'm sure it won't be noticeable.
Battery: needless to say after just a half day although I can tell it's better I can't honestly say how much better yet.
As for the rest of the phone I cannot give a truly unbiased and honest opinion until after the ICS update. After several months with ICS coming back to this is a downgrade operating system wise due to all the differences. I know this will change with the update so I really can't comment on overall user satisfaction until that time, to compare 2 different operating systems wouldn't be giving the Maxx an unbiased fair shake.
