Well Im hoping this pattern doesn't hold true but the DROID razr and maxx don't have removable batteries and the DROID 4 also doesn't have a removable battery. Is this something we will be seeing in future Motorola phones, unremovable batteries. I hope not but not having removable batteries does allow for the batteries to be more compact and therefore the phone more compact.

I don't see this being an issue. Apple has had no removable battery and their phones are just fine. And the maxx is great and still thin with this large battery. Look at all the extended batteries where it creates a massive hump.

Yeah that was just a stupid thread. The maxx is still really thin and has a great battery and as time goes on the battery technology will get much better.

The latest sony xperia s also having nonremovable battery.

I would have to say a non removable battery helps make the Device slimmer cuz they can have odd shaped batteries and not have to worry. And not having to worry about a battery door. Though I hope it isn't the future, at least with current battery tech.

Hey I just got on Verizon for the gal nexus and I want to know if any of you guys considered the gnex instead of the razr or even went as far as trading your galaxy nexus for a razr. Just currious cause gnex isn't as "super" as u thought although a great device none the less

Went for the Razr after seven days of Nexus testing. Mostly due to brighter screen, SD card slot, camera and battery.

Same here, first had the Razr then the GN. One week with the GN was enough, got the Razr again, better all round device.

Well, I buy the phones....so yeah...n RAZR was my first choice. Ive been buying every phone in the franchise since the V3
I initially wanted the nexus, but Hort tired if all the delays and got the razr. And I have to say, I liked it better then what the galaxy nexus sounds like. I'm impressed with how solid the phone feels. After coming from the thunderbolt. The features of the razr I like better and we won't have to wait to long to get ice cream sandwich.

I wanted the nexus; but when i tired one it had a few issues; then i read the boards and saw others (but not everyone) had the same issues. No clue if bad samples or flaws in the phone (the major issue I noticed was very soft speaker; and on my test calls the person sounded garbled; though they said i was very clear). That coupled with signal issues i've read about scared me off. To be honest if the rezound had the razr's screen I would have gone that route (biggest flaw of hte rezound screen is weak visibility outside and highly reflective). To be honest I wished verizon had gotten the galaxy 2; I think my biggest dislike with the razr is the non-changeable battery (coupled with limited battery life) and verizion bloat wear. I hope ICS lets us disable some of this verizon crap; i find it laughable that the biggest issue with the moto. upgrade last week is some people have issue with verizion location agent chewing up battery life.
The above rant is relevant in that on the nexus (almost ) no mandatory verizon apps.
Nexus seems to have a lot of connectivity issues not only with data but also in general with calls. Granted it has ICS give it a few months and RAZR will have it. They both have super amoled screens and almost identical processors. GN being slightly newer.
I say if the RAZR had ICS now, it would win EVERY comparison review. Most places I read that compare the 2 prefer the razr and either put it at a tie or give it to the GN just for ICS... Just by having ICS it shouldn't outweigh its short comings.
Battery is fine on my Razr. I donno how it could be a con. Better than my rooted cm7 DX even.

No Nexus here. Two of my coworkers have them and I've played extensively.
Nice phone (feels good in the hand) but not superior to the razr from a hardware stance. The novelty will wear off once we get ICS. If we got our BL unlocked it would be game over.

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.

I am not going to talk crap about that phone but if crack flashing isn't what you care after but a better overall phone is I would pay the stocking fee and move into the maxx if you can. If not the RAZR is still a good phone. I am using the ics 84 leak and can tell you that it is 100% great owning my maxx. Only option I wish I had was a 0 shutter camera but the maxx camera is very fast and once focused almost 0 shutter. It will do
The plain Razr is fine if you're OK with charging it a lot... personally, I wouldn't change unless it was to the Razr Maxx.
I've owned both RAZR and Maxx and the RAZR still has very good battery life In general. You just gotta hope for a RAZR with no mechanical factory defects...( I've had 2 different phones returned). Also when I said a RAZR with no defects that also went for the Maxx as well. I've had one RAZR and one Maxx with defects

Well you're certainly getting better development on the rezound than you would with the razr. Stupid Motorola / Verizon.

I went from a rez to my maxx. The rez was very nice and very nice camera and screen...but w the extended battery it got heavy feeling. Uncomfortably heavy. Hard to see in the sun. Not hating on the rezound as it is a great device...but my maxx w ics 4.0.4 is exactly what I wanted. 6+ hours screen on time. No hesitation or stuttering. Runs perfect. Autosync always on. Always run data. Auto brightness on. No tricks. Just use it
I've been hanging on to my upgrade for a while and I think its time to use it. The two phones I'm trying to decide between is the razr maxx and the new razr m. I current am using a HTC incredible 2 which for me has been by far the best device I've ever used. I love it! Ill be able to get the razr m for 49 or the maxx for 100. Which direction should I go???

Just remember if you currently have unlimited data and you upgrade, you will lose unlimited. That being said I went from the Inc 2 to the Bionic to the Razr Maxx. I would recommend the Maxx.
If you're thinking about getting the RAZR Maxx, just wait and get the Maxx HD....it's better!! Bigger screen, HD display and Super Amoled HD, plus better processor 1.5 ghz dual core snapdragon S4. My Maxx lags!! ICS is great on it but it's NOT smooth. I wish it had that 1.5 S4 processor.
Even the RAZR HD is a good choice, probably will be cheaper like the skinny RAZR is to the Maxx. The RAZR HD has a decent battery. Why debate between the RAZR M vs. Maxx?
If I were you I would decide between the RAZR HD or Maxx HD. You will save money on the RAZR M and I understand we all like saving money lol. But I feel with the battery in my Maxx it was worth the extra 100 bucks over the skinny RAZR.

Size is one of the main reasons. Don't want a large bulky feeling phone. The razr m has a 1.5 snapdragon too and I don't wanna wait til November. So its either the razr m or the maxx...

My RAZR Maxx has a 1.2 dual core TI O-Map processor not a 1.5 Snapdragon S4. So they're different. If you're talking about the RAZR HD or Maxx HD then those run the same processor the RAZR M does.
They said the Maxx HD is the same size as the original Maxx, the screen is bigger, not the phone.

The maxx battery is the business!
The M looks like a great buy as well. If it had the maxx battery I would like one. My maxx is just on the edge of being cumbersome.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
just ordered the M right now on my biz acct only came to $129.99 for a 1year contract so leaves me open in a year if i need something more. consumer accounts are getting dicked these days...have to do 2 year plus looked at the GFs and they only offered it for $99 plus $30 activation fee... and shes been on a htc dinc1 for almost 3 years.
coming from the htc dinc2 as well, this phone is slightly smaller in overall dimension. the one thing i will miss is swapping batteries; had 2 extra plus el cheapo batt charger from onld htc dinc1.
im looking for smaller size primarily. been thinking about an s3 for a while, but wanted to wait out for the next nexus successor and get closer to pure android but after mucking up my dinc2 in water last week and using an old droidx all week i need to go back to ICS (had dinc2 on CM10 actually). dont need a gigantic phone so opted for the less expensive route. plus the s3 and M have same CPU and almost same batt size.
hoping moto goes the path of pure android soon...
Wonder if Verizon is going to get the HTC one x +... if so it changes everything lol

I'd go for the RAZR M. Much more compact, same screen and much more power than current MAXX. Nice when gaming. Most likely it will also receive new versions offcially for a longer period. Compared the standard RAZR it's got a 12 % bigger battery as well as more power efficient CPU, so should do fine though the day, even though it's no maxx
If gaming isn't your thing, go for MAXX. I certainly wouldn't call it bulky
If you can wait for a few more months and pay som more $, then the RAZR HD (MAXX) will definetly be the king. Even the non-MAXX version of RAZR HD should have a fairly impressive battery life.
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.
