Don't ya think it'd be right in line with whatever the OG razr and razr maxx were?

That's the best guess.

But then again, nothing is official until it's official.

Which would be? Sorry. I went through a time period there where I forced myself to stay away from Android news so I wouldn't be tempted to spend money on the next best thing. What were the Razr and Razr Maxx priced like when they were first released?

I believe $199 for the razr and $299 for the maxx.

New article from Droid Life. According to them, it does more and more look like Oct 18th will be the day. And you were right about the pricing. Now I just have to decide whether the extra $100 is worth it for the 3300mAh battery and 16 extra GB of internal memory. Or just get the Galaxy S3. This is definitely something I will have to decide when I go to the Verizon store and personally play with these phones. The current Razr Maxx is running the same OS as the Razr Maxx HD will be, right?

Pricing should be the same as previous verison so yes $199 & $299 but soon as we get our pricing I will gladly pass that on if it has changed. Will also let you know if we see any "must have" accessories if we get any information on those before launch.

Based on your time with the Maxx HD, would you recommend it over the Galaxy S3?

Such a tough call for time being right now because I had MORE time with the GSiii I would lean that way but the improvements to Moto software on Razr M alone is making me love Moto all over again. Let me get some more details on possible bugs, issues with Razr line because that is really where my choice would be. Keep in mind I went through 10 replacement Thunderbolts and used most ever phone on HTC / Moto / Sam line so this is not bias at all I believe some phones are just made of higher quality then others.

No Jellybean surprises?

I agree completely. My wife has the Razr M and the blur overlay is so close to stock ICS, that's its almost impossible to tell the differences. The big difference is the slide to the left to access quick settings (pretty cool feature, eliminates the need for settings icon on a home screen) . I'm so glad motorola choose to minimalist approach to android when it comes to blur, I just hope they continue this trend in future releases.

My OG droid was my first love that brought the magic of android to my phone. After that, I went with a samsung fascinate and well after poor performance (worst smartphone I've ever owned.. wouldn't wish it upon greatest enemy) I am ready to come back to motorola.


Like the rest of you I just have to decide if a little more internal storage and bigger battery is worth $100..
I'm leaning toward the Razr hd non maxx since I have an external battery pack I keep charged and with me at all times. Personally I'll be happy if the HD gets as good battery life as my wife's razr m

Question that is off the beaten path, but I figured it didn't deserve its own thread. With my Rezound I have always been able to talk and use data at the same time on 4G or 3G because it has two antennas. With the RAZR HD & MAXX HD, when I am in a 4G area, will I be able to do the same thing or do I have to to wait for the next evolution in LTE to finally be able to do this with another phone?

From what I understand when in a 4G area data is transmitted over LTE while voice is still over CDMA. So while talking you should still be able to use data. In 3G both use CDMA so you cannot. Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong.

If it is indeed October 18th, I need to determine if I should drop the retail price of the phone down or stick with my Maxx. Of course, by purchasing the Maxx HD, I'm ridding myself of these awful refurbished devices I keep getting.

 

[dirkbonn]

I'm sure hoping the release date is the 18th. I've waiting with my upgrade in my hands since March. The problem is I'll have to retire my Droid "X" which is still going strong and has been the best smartphone I have ever had.

I'm patiently/impatiently waiting until the release of the Razr Maxx HD on the 18th!

I am really thinking about getting this phone I just wished they would have included 2gb of ram and or a nice s4 pro quad or some new A15 architecture dual core. But the battery alone is making me want to get it

But that then is like buying a three wheeled, magenta colored car missing one fender all because the price is right and it has a 40 gallon fuel tank.

Being able to use a device that you have complaints about does not justify buying it because you can use and complain about those things longer with a bigger battery.

Just does not make sense to me.

Note2 or Note10, that is the question

The thing to me is battery life is my biggest factor over anything. But the maxx HD isn't very future proof either which sucks. I wish we had more choices of phones with 3000mah+ batteries to choose from
