Just wondering if anyone is thinking about returning their Droid RAZR to Verizon and getting the RAZR MAXX when it gets released in a couple of weeks?
Negative. I don't see a reason to for me, batter hasn't been a problem at all....and that seems to be the only upgrade correct?

Of course I've thought about it. But I've had my Razr since it came out, so over a couple months or something. Can you still trade it in? Or if you paid some sort of difference like $100?

Depends on when you actually bought your RAZR. I bought mine the 1st week of Dec. They are allowing you to return your RAZR by Jan 14th. There is a $35 restocking fee of course.
I don't understand how people are claiming they get 12hrs or more of battery life without turning off the 4G radio. I mean, what's the point of having a 4G phone if you have to turn off the 4G radio just to get decent battery life. I had an extended battery for my DX which gave me a days use. If the RAZR had a removable battery, I would have certainly bought an extended battery.

Yeah I am sure I missed my window, which is unfortunate. I totally agree. But I go to school where 4G hasn't rolled around yet. So I am forced to stick with wifi and 3G. Which I assume is why I get about 20 hours.
You know what would be really sweet? Is if Motorola allowed you to send your RAZR to them and they switch out the smaller battery for the larger one. I would pay for that.
Date is 26th....

I haven't yet bough a RAZR. I'd like to see in my hands first, how the MAXX looks like, if I think it's back is ugly,, I'll go with the RAZR.
From all that I have seen from CES pics etc the back looks the same but is thicker. It evenly tapers from the camera area down to the bottom rather than doing a quick thin out like our RAZR's do. It isn't as thin and imagine that it would feel thicker in the hands as well. If you want the new battery you will for sure need the new back as well, probably would fit as well.
I'm sticking with my RAZR, it's supposed to be super thin, that's the point. If the battery works for you it's not worth the change IMO.
I don't mind if it's thicker, I just don't know how it looks without the camera hump. (It may looks silly) Watching the video isn't enough for me to decide.

It seems like a waste of money just for extended battery life. There's no way I'm paying 400$ for a phone.
Yes - returned my Razr today. Waiting for the Maxx.
Yeah I'm sticking with the razr i love the slimness and the camera hump oddly enough.

I returned my RAZR Saturday and activated my old OG Droid. It's weird going from a big phone, back to the smaller, slower phone. Can't wait until the MAXX comes out. Hopefully the 26th is the correct date. The date was removed from Motorola's web page.

$400??? Verizon and Motorola have already announced that it would be $299 at release. Just like the RAZR was when it was 1st released.
Wonder if the only difference is the battery/back cover. Would love to swap these out in my Razr.

Ditto. Plus I only paid $0.01 for mine from Amazon's 1 cent sale. Can't really justify spending $299.98 more just for the battery
I decided to switch from an Incredible to the Rezound on the 9th.
When I went into a local Verizon store, the Rezound was not featured, or even out on the floor. The sales rep had to search and finally found one in a cabinet for me to look at.
I went back into the store yesterday to get a credit because the price dropped, and there were still no Rezounds out. They have Razrs and the Nexus featured and those are the only posters / banners up in the store.
This is curious to me because I think it's a great phone and I wondered if others have noticed this.
i never saw much in the stores, there was a mediocre display. but i did see their commercial for it rather often, only really showing off the Beats integration
The Rezound has not ever received any significant "VZW" promotion. I don't think VZW ever had any agreement with HTC to do so. The RAZR being a "Droid" phone will obviously be part of VZW's marketing campaign and the Galaxy Nexus is a Google branded phone so, it's uniqueness and its firstness is what is being marketed and is what VZW paid exclusivity for.
You have to realize that Verizon only cares about Apple & Motorola. When I got my Rezound there was one on display(and only 1) but no posters or anything... whereas they had multiple iPhones & Droid RAZR's on display w/ posters & everything.
Just yesterday I was at the local store and they still had a Rezound on display & had it right next to the new LG Spectrum. Although still all this iPhone & RAZR b.s. everywhere and even making a big deal about the new RAZR MAXX phone that's due out this coming week.
Even with the new RAZR MAXX & Droid 4 though I am still going to get another Rezound.
Pretty sure it all has to do with money. VZW probably gets more money from Moto and Apple for pushing their products. HTC, from what I've noticed, has never had any big pushes through VZW. Just goes to show that you need to make sure you do research and don't buy a phone based on what the big companies are pushing. I know of many HTC phones that were never marketed by VZW but sold there that were miles ahead of anything actually being marketed by the Big Red.
Bottom line: Money. And lots of it.
The only HTC phone I remember getting lots of marketing love from Verizon was the original Droid Incredible. I saw ads for that all over the place. Since then, HTC has received no love from Verizon.

The Rezound was overshadowed by Razor Marketing and Galaxy Nexus hype. However, its probably the best kept secret in smartphone history! This phone is just rezound-ingly awesome!!!

no vzw love is ok with me...
i too wasnt immediately drawn to the rezound, probably because all they push on it is the beats, (which turned out to be A LOT greater than i thought it would be), but thru exhaustive review of first the nexus, then finally the rezound, i figured out what a great little dev phone this baby is going to turn into. i never gave 2 ****s about the razr, having the thinnest 4g phone wasnt at the top of my list, and the screen sucks as bad as it did on my x2. The day i went in to vzw for my second look at the rezound, as fate would have it, was the EXACT day they dropped the price $100. Now whats an impulse buyer like me supposed to do? lol Plus, my youngest daughters 16th b-day is in a month, and ol' daddy is gonna be a hero when she unwraps those beats earbuds she DESPERATELY wants! lol
i'm still having trouble learning the modding routine, but i'll finger it out, and have a couple years of fun with this.....hope you all enjoy as well!

Might have been because it took almost 4 months for them to catch up with demand for the DInc. I got mine on day one and it took at least that long until they started showing the "post" release date commercials. I still haven't seen a phone that was on backorder for as long as that DInc was. Hell, didn't they even change the screen to catch up?
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
It probably depends on what store you go to. If you go to an "authorized retailer" they can do almost whatever they want so they can push to sell one phone over another if they want. There are two corporate stores in my area and both had two on display to try out.
HTC's phones never get the marketing of the "Droid" brand and the Nexus wouldn't have gotten such exposure either if it wasn't for the Nexus name.

well, the nexus was pissing me off on various issues(screen banding, much slower data speeds then the rezound, reception issues, burns through battery faster then the rezound also). i ended up trading it for a bionic + $300.
i now have an upgrade available again so going to get the rezound(again) & then sell this p.o.s. bionic.
You couldn't have been at a corporate store then.

I've had a 16gb Razr since it came out. Needless to say, it's a little past the 14 day warranty. I love it a lot. But could use the extra battery. I didn't get it because of it's thinness, but rather, all the other amazing specs.
Do you think I could call up Verizon and complain enough to trade my Razr in for the Maxx?
I think you should go ahead. The 3,300 mAh battery for the Maxx sounds really awesome. Too bad mine doesn't allow for trade-ins. Otherwise I think I'd do that too.

Honestly??? I wouldn't hold my breath on that happening. Usually you have to go through about 3-5 phone replacements before getting an upgrade early.
My step-mom was having issues with her Droid Eris after it was updated to 2.1. Every replacement Eris VZW sent her was a POS. I advised her to call Customer Relations not Customer Service and speak to them, as I heard they can help with early upgrades. She was able to upgrade her phone after the 4th replacement failed on her. She went with the Droid X, and only had to pay the upgrade price not the full retail price. Needless to say, the DX blew away the Eris, she was happy.
That would be my only advice, but it's a long shot.
I agree that its a long shot, but I'd also say its definitely worth a shot. Who knows, you might get a very nice CSR manager.

I wouldn't call it an upgrade, more of an update really. All of the specs on the MAXX are identical to the RAZR. The only difference is 1.9mm in width due to the larger battery. I've been thinking about calling too, feeling as though the maxx is kind of an "oops, we're getting alot of heat on the battery life, better fix it" device.
I too love my RAZR, and haven't really had any problems with battery life, but still feel like we should all be entitled to a better battery, problems or not.

I wouldn't mind one of those either.
When I explained I was within 30 she said no restocking fee but after 30 would require 15% restocking fee. I told them I was duped in to buying with out being informed that basically a razr upgrade aka Maxx was due out in weeks. Really I think any ole story will work as they will still cash in on the old device selling pre owned.

It depends where you get it from, but Verizon has strict policy that states even if ur one day after your return period they shouldn't exchange, return it for what ever reason, they have to follow there exchange warranty policy. There are special cases where they do allow exchanges after the 14 days from Verizon but those are rares.
Haha! Get your phone from bestbuy mobile like i do! They give you 30 days to do so

That's the same argument that Bionic owners said when the RAZR was released 2 months after the Bionic. It doesn't hold any water with VZW. They'll just laugh at you and tell you that you can always sell your RAZR and pay full retail for the MAXX.
Also VZW will most likely look at it as an upgrade, not an update.
I'm not gonna try and exchange mine, but would absolutely love to send it in to Motorola to have it upgraded.

I called Verizon. I am very upset that only 2 months later, the EXACT same phone comes out with no changes other than an extended battery (not counting thickness, simply the operating system and software). It's not lke it's 6 months to a year. They released the original Razr, and two months later release the same phone for the same price, and lower the price of the one we all bought. That's bull.
Verizon's response: we can't control when Motorola releases its product, very sorry, understand your anger, I'll put a complaint through for you.
In other words, too f*cking bad.

Costco does not have maxx yet but they have the best return policy 90 days and you get hdmi dock, case, screen protector, car charger lots of freebies.
With the coming of an end to Verizon's unlimited plan I face a difficult task of choosing 4g phones for two of my family lines that are currently on 3g unlimited. I would ultimately like to just grab two Rezounds because they work great and I already have 2 of them on other lines. But with the recent price hike on them makes them unaffordable to me. So I've done some research on what's available to me currently and it seems the Droid Charge and Droid Razr are within my budget right now. Don't get me wrong, I would love to wait and get one of the newer phones coming available soon but I'm sure they will be priced out of my budget range also. So my two choices are Charge and Razr. My question to this great Rezound community is ...... what are your thoughts on the two phones? Please no flaming on either phone, just your advice please. Each phone has it's positive and negative aspects. Thank you in advance for your input.
Edit: Thanks to everyone who chimed in with their input. Got the Razr for $49.99 at Best Buy with my phone freedom $50 discount that I had on my line. So far it seems great. If I end up not liking it I will just hand it down to one of my kids and return to my Rezound. Thanks again everyone.
Razr. Definitely the better of the two. The charge has a super slow processor

I just went out and got a Rezound to upgrade my unlimited data to 4g before the tiered data plans are unleashed. Whatever you do, I'd do it asap.
I've heard the RAZR has great battery life, but other than that the specs area kinda meh.
If the choice is betweeen the razr and the charge, I would take the charge all day long and I own both phones (my Wife has my old Charge & my son has a Razr Maxx.
The speed is so close between the two it is basically a toss-up even though the Razr SHOULD be faster, & the screen is so much better on the Charge there is no comparison whetever.

I guess it's a toss up of what the user's preference is: battery life or screen. For someone like my mom or sister, I'd lean towards battery life as the determining factor. But for me, I'd always go with the better screen. Hell, that's why I went out and bought a Galaxy Tab 7.7.
I came from the charge. It was a nice phone but did lag. But my sister and brother in law have the razr and they HATE them. After using them if I had to go back to either one I'd go back to the charge
The Droid Charge is, kinda laggy stock, there isn't much development for it and it's not getting ICS.
Razr by far. It has a higher Res screen better CPU and its a Motorola phone so it has good radios. It has better battery life and is obviously much thinner.
I had a droid charge and loved it.

I would think development is superior on the Rezound, plus the Razr is qHD pentile, ugh...
Maybe development isn't that bad on it, I'll have check it out.
I also like having a phone with some thickness so it has a better feel in the hand.
If you're going with the Droid Charge, I found that Tweakstock 2.0 with PBJ 05/04 kernel is fast, smooth, and feature-filled.
I only meant the Razr over the Charge, the only phone on Verizon I'd take over the Rezound is the Razr Maxx.

I would wait and see. The last PR from verizon said that all unlimited plans were safe (3g/4g) as long as you didn't upgrade through them. I am waiting till the last possible minute and official word from verizon to do anything.
My kids have dinc2's with unlimited and I could switch them to thunderbolts but besides the 4g, the dinc2 is a better phone for them with good battery life for an android phone.

If it were in my price range I would. The reason I'm trying to decide between Charge & Razr is because I can get them free or next to nothing. Realistically if I could get a Rezound that cheap right now that's what I would choose.
I have a GNex and love it. Its $200 on contract.
Wife has the Fassy and I am looking to get her a new phone.
Razr is $100 on contract and is getting ICS any day now.
Are there any glaring issues or bugs I should know about before buying this phone?
For instance does signal suck or gps etc.

DROID RAZR MAXX
honestly no complaints outside of the fact that it doesn't have an S4 processor, meaning it's a ticking time bomb, in a month or so it'll be like having a single core phone when dual core came out
but if the wife isn't a techy go for it. if she is, you might wanna hold out until august and get her the HD MAXX
Avoid this phone please. It differently isn't up there with other phones atm. If you Gf isn't a heavy phone user. I'd get her the One S.

One S is not on Verizon, but can you explain the 'why' behind your post?
Been running Android since the G1 came out. The Razr Maxx is the best i've had to date... And i've hacked and modded all my phones previous. The Maxx battery is phenomenal. So good in fact i've had to adjust my habits of charging. GPS lock is right on and quick.
I did exchange my original Maxx because of screen issues (in dark lighting with dark screen there were blotches of spots on screen) other than that its solid.
I should mention it has a smaller 4g Sim card than my other phones ( charge, sidekick and Droid 2) so swapping is not simple. The nexus also uses micro sim.

wifi range sucks, otherwise it's the best phone on the market atm
It's a great device. I just came from a Rezound, and I like the Maxx MUCH better in many ways.
Disregard Mattyoncrack...
This phone is outstanding on GB or ICS. I have absolutely no complaints (except for the fact that it's on Verizon)!
