If its any help to you out there thinking about this I just traded in the Bionic for the Maxx. I paid nearly full retail - I added a line, dumped an old phone on that (they do that in the computer now, don't even have to activate the dumper phone) so saved $110 over the two years. And my company gets another $50 off (if you add a line, NOT if you just buy the phone) so paid $279 up front.
Many have discussed the minor differences from Droid RAZR to the RAZR Maxx and we know about the form factor differences and the battery life differences. But after reading all that I was still surprised at my experience with the Maxx vs. the Bionic.
The Maxx is faster, way, way faster in anything doing with the UI. Opening, closing, scrolling - all of it is rocket ship fast compared the Bionic. It also is much faster to boot from off to on - about 1 minute compared to several minutes for the Bionic.
The screen (and I know this is very subjective) is sharper, brighter, crisper and movies look awesome on it.
Of course its much thinner and holding them up together in the store with all the security wiring and power cords doesn't really tell you - it just feels much lighter and more "pocketable" even though the outside dimensions are a little bigger in both directions.
AND, at least so far no data drops which was an everyday occurrence on the Bionic with a power cycle the only solution! AND (last plus) battery life is double my old phone, no joke this is the future of 4G phone batteries!
