Nice tie going.
Currently Razr...
Will get a Maxx battery if I can find a nice enough deal on one
Thats weird, I was expecting 5-6 times more Razr than Maxx owners
Razr owner here. Surprised to see there're more Maxx owners in the poll
Razr owner here also.
Just root and install a custom rom to get as much or better battery life than a stock Maxx.

Same here I own a Razr. Maybe once we get more people voting the Razr will beat the Maxx by a larger %.
I have a Razr and am quite happy with it... But will convert it to Maxx as soon as the parts are available.
This is more like what I would expect given how much longer the Razr has been out over the Maxx. Oh I should have added one of the new color Razr's as a choice... oh well too late.
Maxx for the win The battery life soars light years ahead of my third battery in my Incredible.
btw-They are backordered right now at Corporate stores, I got the last one from a local retail store. Apparently Motorola hasn't peaked production yet...hmmm, didn't they make a high demand for the X when it came out also?

It's actually both the RAZR and the RAZR MAXX. They run identical software. The only real difference is the bigger battery, slight change in the color of the housing and the Motorola plate on the front top is changed. The XT912 is the "Droid" version for VZW and the XT910 is the GSM version used world wide. Although there is no MAXX for the XT910.
no razr maxx in the UK so I got the Droid razr

Razr Maxx here. Tons of battery life with 4G on all day!
I am probably going to get the RAZR, because the Maxx is $100 more just for battery. I'll just go pick up a USB battery pack for $40 and then I get a thinner phone, too. Also, the white looks pretty sharp. Haha, get it (Its not very funny)?
Any RAZR owners know of the best ICS rom?
Razr owner. I really don't have issues with the battery. I am usually busy at work so my battery lasts about 18 a day. Them on the weekends, I am usually close to a power outlet.

Best to get the MAXX. The extra battery life is worth it. I had the RAZR and carried around an extra potable battery charger. Once the MAXX was announced I returned the RAZR. Bought the MAXX on launch day, best decision I made. I get about 18+ hours on a single charge. Best RAZR did was 8-9 hours.

What's the differences between the 2 phones, ROM and Root wise. I know the basic phone differences but can I do all the cool stuff to a MAXX from the RAZR device forum?

maxx has bigger btty.
I have both (Gsm). The one noticeable difference is thickness, since the MAXX has a bigger battery. The Motorola logo on the top is smaller in the MAXX.
Everything else feels the same.

Both phones are model XT912. So they're identical in terms of software.

Thank you guys. I have the Samsung Continuum right now, but Im planning on switching over. Is the rooting just as easy? And who are some good developers for this phone? Also, where can I find tuts with the things to download, I've deleted all my programs for ROMing and Rooting.. :/
Rooting is as easy as clicking a button on your mouse or pad. Everything you need to learn is here. Take a look at the development section. From noob tools to stock/custom roms, there's a lot if reading material .
Cheers mate!

Yeah, the maxx got a bigger battery and it's thicker, that¨s all.
The MAXX has a bigger, LiPo battery that is NOT user-changeable.
Probably because it is a LiPo. Things can get real ugly real fast if you mistreat a LiPo.

Which? That the MAXX battery is LiPo? Then Motorola needs to be corrected.
Or that abusing a LiPo can have undesireable results?
Take a look here and go look at the Risks and Limitations section.
Or go here and search for "lipo fire".
Granted, these batteries are not as large as one in an RC heli, but if abused, e.g. overcharged, punctured, or mangled, they can cause a fire or at least a smokey, stinky mess.
How did you end up with this phone? What made you choose it? What makes you keep it? Post your story.
I have the Razr Maxx on Verizon Wiress (CDMA). Things I dislike about this phone...
1. The camera, it's no slouch but I got use to the camera on my previous GS2. That has better lense/camera.
2. Slight lag here and there, again I came from a GS2 that used Exynos processor.
3. No HD display BUT I am a big fan of Super Amoled. I just love how the colors pop.
4. Locked boot loaders!! (My Samsung GS2 was so easy to root and flash things on.)
There was even some points I thought of selling my Maxx and getting a GS3. I loved the GS2 but main problem was it had a really horrible wireless radio plus being on Sprint network did not help. I had no intentions in getting a Razr when I walked into the Verizon store. I already liked Samsung, I just needed better service. Had my mind on the Galaxy Nexus. But I loved the build of the slim RAZR. Tried it for a week or so, Ioved it. Got signal in areas I never did with other phones being on other networks. Battery was a big problem, like most Android phones, I said eff it and got the Maxx.
The radio and battery life make up for all the things I dislike about this phone. I just got a case from Seidio and that gives me the new phone feel again lol. I gave up things getting this phone but I've also gained things so it balances out

had thunderbolt. wanted battery. got maxx
Had rezound. Battery was terrible. Got talked out of getting a new phone (within 14 days) and instead got the extended battery. Still awful battery, and other problems. Got replacement rezound. That was even worse. Finally they let me exchange, and I got the maxx because I wanted the battery.

also have working Linux 12.04 and all open office full programs
forget to charge one nite and it still runs all day the next...
64 gb SD card - 500hrs video and 1000 songs and still 18 gb. (I have 5 Linux distros for testing also -10gb)
12 games

Had galaxy nexus loved everything except the poor signal and battery life. RAZR Maxx fixed both problems. I'm keeping it unless the RAZR HD battery can compete with it.

Former fascinate and Charge owner. Upgrade became available before the unlimited ban when upgrading. Got the maxx after checking all phones in the Verizon store and it being the most polished feeling.
Happy ever since. Screen and audio playback are not the best but everything else kicks ass.
Can't imagine having a lesser phone and there is no desire to deviate from stock.

The main criteria to buy a phone, is it has to be able to works as a phone. Period. Previously, I have RAZR V3xx, before changed to other Nokia phones and the Nexus One. V3xx was a very good phone which did a very good job as a phone; makes and receives calls. It also a very good HSDPA 3G "modem", USB tethered to laptop. Now I have RAZR XT910... and it just as good as the V3xx. I don't care how many cores, benchmark's scores or frames speed, but, if it cannot functioning as a proper phone, than it is worthless to me.
Thank you.

Holy crap batman. That's almost hard to believe. If it were a Nexus, I would believe that.
After my 3rd Galaxy Nexus, I got fed up with it. Purchased a Razr. The Maxx was then Released. Sold Razr. Bought Maxx. Friend was selling his Razr dirt cheap. So I bought it. And now have two Razr's.

I switched to a razr maxx after three galaxy nexus bad phones. The razr Maxx does everything I need it to do.
Development is heating up on it too.
I have a galaxy s3 also but I'm finding that I keep going to the razr when I NEED my phone to just Work....like when I'm at work.
I go back to the gs3 because the screen is STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL. The razr just works better all the time.

When I used a gnex I thought the two phones performed similarly although the Motorola came out on top when you needed data or GPS or phone signal or battery.

So I am currently eligible to upgrade my phone through Verizon and I have been trying to figure out which phone to buy. I have been using a Droid X for almost 2 years and I absolutely loved it!
I rooted my Droid X shortly after buying it 2 years ago and have learned most everything a rooted user needs to know
(ex. Flashing custom ROM'S, using CWM recovery to create Nandroid backups, using an SBF to return the phone to out of the box software)
and I even learned how to use ADB commands to flash the Motorola stock system images when I had a Motorola XOOM tablet
That being said I really enjoy all things ROOT like over clocking and under volting, and of course flashing custom ROM'S so I guess my question to the Droid RAZR community, many of whom I'm sure are allot like myself would simply be...
Do you REALLY love your Droid RAZR or Droid RAZR MAX??? Is there allot of development out there for this phone? Are there custom ROM'S and the ability to use the Wireless Tether function?
Any advice and personal experiences with this phone would go a huge way toward helping me decide if I want to make the jump or not! Thanks everyone!

I can really recommend the RAZR, I do love my phone! The only thing I regret is not waiting for the MAXX, but on the other hand, no one knew it was coming when i bought my phone!
I bought the RAZR because I wanted a phone that survives daily life. I sail a lot and my phones usually die by moisture... The RAZR isn't water proof, but it has some water resistance. Mine have taken some blows as well and survived.
The only real con I can think about is the locked boot loader, but now that kexec is released it should not be a problem any more :fingers-crossed:
I love my Maxx, great battery life! Since ICS upgrade GPS is not as quick, occasional lag, but far better than any android I've ever owned.
That being said if I were due for upgrade I would probably pick the S3. As long as it wasn't as bad as the previous galaxies I've owned... Love the size and the big screen. But that's just me. The Maxx is awesome though. I would get that rather than the RAZR for the awesome battery life.

If you want all day battery get a maxx, but since the bootloader has only recently been fully bypassed it will be a bit before a completely asop based rom will be at daily driver standards. That being said there are some very nice roms built on the moto kernel. I personally don't think the og razr would be worth it, but the maxx will bring you back to 2 days of battery life you may have once had with an old school dumb phone.

Get the galaxy s 3 or wait for the razr hd.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone, does anyone know if the RAZR HD is supposed to be released soon?
And if so I would imagine it will be some time before a root tool is released along with any other development...
Btw is the bootloader bypassed on the MAXX through some kind of bootstrapper app? similar to the old DROID 2 Bootstrapper program?

If you want a good wireless radio and good battery life get the RAZR Maxx. If you're into rooting and flashing stuff I don't know if the RAZR series is the best choice.
See what the next Google phone brings, I'm thinking they're going to the GSM carries this time but who knows. I've heard stuff about there may be more than one Google device by different manufacturers. If true Verizon may get another. Or else wait to see what this rumored RAZR HD brings. Then make the decision if you can wait a few months lol.

Both the phones are almost similar.
1 thing that doesn't matter is the carrier, doesn't matter at all. So, cannot decide on this basis.
Photon costs less but then Razr is selling better than Photon AFAIK.
Other than the carrier, which phone would you recommend and why? Just help me decide.
Thanks
Razr! Photon us much bulkier than even the Maxx and terrible battery life.
