Maxx or S3?

[pho_dog]

hey cwalker28- how can I get a maxx for $99? I am going to get a maxx and have been lurking these boards for a few weeks and watching the prices to see if I can get a deal before the shared data kicks in. Tia.

I don't think you'll find the Maxx for $99. It's $199 with a 2 year contract. The $99 is for the normal Razr.

that's what I thought. Btw, above was first post.

It's $99 at Amazon Wireless for new Verizon customers only--existing customers still need to shell out $199.

My bad. This is where I saw it, but didnt realize only for new customers.

I am holding off on a maxx wondering if there may be a better deal before the 28th shared data kicks in. I have been happy with previous moto's and know the maxx would do well for the life of the contract but there is so much buzz around the S3 that I am starting to think about a preorder-figuring I can always trade to a maxx if the S3 radios/battery aren't up to snuff.

Hi,

I don't think you can go wrong with either.
The S3 has a big battery, not as big as the Maxx but it is removable.
Other features have the S3 better. I own a Maxx but I just pre-ordered my daughter an S3.

I had a final upgrade and we are all unlimited so I used it for her phone.
She didn't want the Maxx and they way she can burn through a battery, she needs something removable so she can carry a bag of spares. (Music playing, games going, screen on constantly, texting.) She is the torture test for battery life on any smartphone.

and the impending ICS rollout for maxx adds to the quandry.
