There isn't one perfect phone out there right now.
matter of opinion. I would ALREADY own a Maxx HD if the camera didn't suck so badly. I went to verizon to check it out recently and the camera was so bad that I quickly abandoned the idea of getting the phone, despite it otherwise being pretty nice. to each his own. If you guys think you can get passable images from that phone, in other-than-bright sunlight, than I say "go for it". if you want a phone that can shoot in less than bright outdoor lighting, this phone will SORELY disappoint.
I've pretty well talked myself into getting one of these very soon. I had an X2 for about a year and the camera was far better than the one on my GNEX I've been using for the past few months. Not to mention the battery life is atrocious on the GNEX even with my 3000 mah extended battery. So as long as the camera is as good or better than the GNEX and X2 I'm sold.
I swore I wouldn't go back to a locked device but the cheap build quality of Samsung devices coupled with the weak radios and horrid battery life has turned me back. And while the DNA is tempting I can't take another phone with horrible battery life for another two years and worrying every time I leave the house if it's going to last.
If moto would unlock their bootloaders they'd probably triple their sales. For the life of me idk why they won't do it. Build quality, strong radios, ample storage with removable storage to boot, an HD screen, and phenomenal battery life. I considered going to unlocked phones on straight talk but this phone keeps pulling me back to paying more with Verizon just to have the nicer phone and their LTE network.

Battery life on any of these is relative to how you use it. What 16hrs to one person may only be 12 to a person like me. I chose the Maxx to have the most juice I could have for the times I may need it most. One day I may not use the phone much and the next have to really give it a workout without having a charger near by. Now with the JB update I'm experiencing some battery drop off but I suspect there are issues I haven't found yet. I've have very strange things happening too and believe a factory reset is in my very near future, but the RAZR phones have been the best phones in my opinion and this one with a 720p screen will probably be the last upgrade ill have for awhile because I'll be hanging on to my unlimited data as long as I can. This is a pretty darn reliable and nice phone to be stuck with.

Ya know, it's all relative. I got a Bolt, some of the pix have taken are terrible. This is looking back. White balance in low light, not.Coming from a Thunderbolt... did you like the camera on the tbolt? I did and i find the camera on the MAXX HD to be better than that one. Its all relative. Its probably not as good as the ones in the S3 or iphone5. Its good enough though.
Not to disparage the Max HD because its an excellent phone but Dont believe everything that you hear about the DNAs battery life. I've found it more than sufficient getting 16+ hours out of it every day since I've gotten in. That's with 2 gmail accounts. G+ Facebook. Falcon Twitter and the AC forums app all running and not doing anything special to conserve battery.

Nope I know its all relative (I've had 4 different android phones now, all different battery life) but it's more than just the battery life as I said before. Storage, solid radios and great battery life. My Dinc2 had less than stellar reception in my home area. Now, I've read great things about the DNA's standby battery life, it sounds phenomenal, but I'd be willing to bet the maxx HD kicks its ass in screen on time. I could be wrong, because I have no facts or evidence to back that up, only conjecture, but I'd be curious see.

Don't have a Maxx HD (yet) but I've heard the JB update improved the camera. Anyone notice that?
