Anybody considering the Razr Maxx?

Had the Razr.. Nothing would make me go back to it, I love the GN. The display on the GN is such an improvement. I have mine set on automatic light and never need to turn it up unless I'm showing it off. Another major downfall about the Razr, is the lack of nfc. I use google wallet daily, can't give that up. But wait, there is a purple Razr coming out too! I'm sure that will cause many to jump ship.. Haha...
 
No ICS, not stock android, smaller screen, awkward feel in hand, no thanks I will stick with the GN and not have to wait months and months for an update.
Yea the lack of ICS kind of turns me off from the phone. I wish all phones had that battery though. I wonder how long it takes to charge though.
 
I love my Galaxy Nexus. No better phone on Verizon... or any other carrier at the moment.

If the Galaxy Nexus didn't exist? Well... I'll probably get the RAZR, no questions about it.
(or jump ship to AT&T or T-Mobile so I can have the Galaxy SII :D )

If there's one thing I don't like about the Galaxy Nexus.... well.. it has to be the small 4.6-inch
SuperAMOLED screen.... I want something slightly bigger, but smalller than the Samsung Note. :)

LOL... the word "small" should be no where near the vicinity of a sentence containing Galaxy Nexus or 4.6 inch. :D

... but that Note is looking migh-ty fine, I will admit. But no RAZR Maxx for me... love my G Nex too much to even think about cheating :p

And still no removable battery, right? That's a definite no... I need a spare at all times... at ALL times. No matter how big the battery is...

after my bionic nightmare, i will never purchase another moto phone.

Same here. Seeing the way motor totally hosed the bionic owners, I would never buy motor under any circumstance. The hyped it like the best phone ever made and then buried it 2 mos later.

With Seidio coming out with a 3800MaH battery soon (almost twice the extended Verizon battery) the only downsides to the Nexus (for me) are the Camera (somewhat mitigated by alternative camera apps) and the signal in certain areas (hopefully fixed in a updated ROM).

Other people have reported other issues, but battery/camera/signal are the only ones i've seen mentioned by an overwhelming number of people. Personally, I love it.

I've too thought about the Seidio 3800Mah battery HOWEVER

no NFC support, therefore no google wallet and that just makes the whole train sink. If only they had nfc...
 
I HATE Motorola. Battery not a deal breaker on GN.

Nope. It's made by Motorola and I'm not a fan. I don't care if it had a battery that lasted a week.

after my bionic nightmare, i will never purchase another moto phone.

That would be like going from a Corvette to a Cobalt. No more Moto phones for me (unless the next nexus is made by moto)



I've been saying I'm never buying moto again after my whole family's original Droid train wreck. We all went through multiple replacements because they fell apart. My previous moto slvr fell apart. So its not just a fluke, moto is cheaply made and I'm really mad Google bought them... Samsung is on its game and ICS is so sweet. I couldn't be more pleased with my galaxy nexus!!!!!! :thumbup:

S/N battery: I bought a Duracell powerhouse portable charging pack to plug my nexus in on the go, alternative or supplement to charging 2 batteries. Holds a little over a single charge of juice. :sly:

I'm probably sticking with the GN, but I'm wondering if anybody is thinking about jumping ship and going for a Razr with that ridiculous battery life.

LOL your joking right !! :D No way would I jump ship for a Moto phone .
The GN will get updates quicker even without root. I bet it will be fall before the Razr gets ICS
Yes it has root but locked bootloader, I already went down that road with the DX .
Also the fact that the user cant remove the battery without having to take it in to vzw back in ,,still doesnt go over with me .
If you check out the Razr forum they got that same ole petition going around to unlock the boot ,good luck to them on that but I think thats a dead end street as of right now.
I love my Galaxy Nexus too much ,it rocks !! I

What kind of battery is in the Razr Maxx, anyway? Wouldn't putting a bigger battery in it make it thicker? Which would then kinda defeat the purpose of the "razor thin" image?
 
Wow, 3300 mAH? How the heck did they manage that, without adding so much bulk on the back? I mean, I have zero interest in dropping my Nexus for a Razr, but it'd be nice if large batteries like that could be added to smartphones without adding much physical bulk.
 
I would like to have the radio but that would be it, I'm not really a big fan of Moto phones there is nothing wrong with them their just not my cup of tea. I'm pretty satisfied with my GN it's not a perfect phone but the closest one to perfect IMO.

The extended battery in the Galaxy Nexus doesn't add on much thickness to the device.

If the battery they are using is a lithium polymer, I believe those can be designed for a variety of shapes.
