The Motorola Razr Maxx

[05GT]

I miss the battery life of the Maxx, but Motorola is slow with updates, and VZW is too bullheaded to quickly implement updates.

Great phone though.. GB is boring though.

My GF has this phone and the battery life is really good but has anyone with this phone encountered an issue with the phone where the bottom half of the screen flickers (pretty much around the area where the keyboard would be?)? It usually happens at night time and can be intermittent or sometimes go on for minutes on end. Thanks!

droid razr maxx screen flickering is a short clip of the issue.

Haven't had any issues with this.

Loving this phone, although it's much bigger than my last one (Samsung GS1). Still getting used to the large size but overall it's way way zippier than my old phone (single processor).

Follow up on the battery life over the weekend. With a full charge friday morning, it was down to 20% late Sat night. That was with moderate to heavy usage. Yesterday was light usage and it had 80% after the entire day. Love it!

And very interested to see how ICS changes things.

I love this phone...The useage i have with it would have my iphone 4S dead by 3:00!!
Funny though...1st day i had the MAXX i tried so hard to kill the batt from 9:30am to 2:00am and i Still had 20% left on it. Since then I can get it down to 29*0% by 10pm with moderate to heavy useage. When the 1st day I tried to murder that thing.
Dont get me wrong I love this phone like none other... (the ONLY thing the iphone has for it is retina display- but AMOLED aint toooooo bad) :-]

Looks like we might be getting an upgrade to ICS 4.0.4 Tuesday!

I bought the phone last week. Coming from a phone with ICS(Galaxy S with CM9) I wasn't about to go back to gingerbread. First thing I did was load up one of the ICS leaks that allow you to return to gingerbread if needed. ICS vs Gingerbread is totally night and day. So far the leak has been totally stable, but the battery life doesn't seem as impressive as it could be on Gingerbread.

I'm still kind of torn with Galaxy S3 coming to Verizon much sooner than I thought. It a choice between the long battery life and solid build or cutting edge specs with likely top notched dev support.

are you saying that 4.0 will make the MAXX's battery last longer???!!!!...thx

to bad this phone isn't on AT&T...

I've been wondering where the AT&T/Sprint equivalent to this is. It seemed like Motorola was Droid Verizon exclusive for a couple of years but last year they really branched out and delivered some good devices for AT&T and Sprint, but I've been looking for a RAZR equivalent to hit T forever.
