I thought I would share my impressions of the Droid RAZR MAXX. Overall, I have no regrets with this phone whatsoever. PROS: Battery Life- I've charged this phone only 4 times now in a week. I leave it on 4G all the time with Bluetooth and WiFi on (even in my office with no WiFi for 12 hours a day). I've been downloading apps and using it pretty heavily and average about 44 hours per charge. It's weird not charging the phone every night, but it's not an issue at all. I have a screen pic of the battery usage curve I'd like to post if I could figure out how to upload a JPG... Hardware - The build quality and materials are first rate. The Qualcomm CDMA baseband provides excellent voice calls even wondering around my house which strattles 3 Verizon sectors at the limit (-86 dBm) of their range-- at least that's Verizon's limit... LOL! Data Speed - see below. easily pull 20-30 mbps on LTE all day long. Even last week during the 2 hour LTE nationwide outage (EHRPD was down too), failover to EVDO gave me consistent speeds of 1.7 - 2.1 mbps, faster in the very same sectors that I could get force roaming on my old Evo. CONS: Software -- I honestly miss Sense. Blur is a little buggy and nowhere near as polished. It's not bad, but there are a few issues-- hopefully ICS updates coming soon will clear up some of the problems, which are VERY minor; if not, I can always root.
