[Q] Questions for Razr HD user

[thibaulb]

Whats up guys I am about 2 weeks out from upgrading my phone, I am pretty much dead set on the Razr HD, but I can't decide if its worth the extra $100 for the maxx. So I'm trying to find an HD user to tell me what the battery life is like on their phone.

How much do you use your HD?
What do you use it for?
How often do you have to charge it?
Do you keep WiFi on?

I don't use my phone too much, but I do use it to listen to the radio while I am at work all day. I'm thinking it would be a safer bet to just get the maxx.

The guy at the Verizon store told me that he knew of many people who thought they would be ok without the maxx and they all ended up wishing they would have forked over the 100 bucks to get the extended battery.

Thanks for your help!

To begin, I want to state that I am using the GSM variant of the Razr HD (XT925).

I purchased my Razr HD LTE last Thursday and wasn't until today that I was able to finally use my SIM (as it was carried locked).

The responsiveness is very nice; slick even. In speaking with the Motorola Rep. @ Rogers, he stated that they wanted to keep the UI as close to stock Android.

As for the primary use, mine will be for business; specifically emails, attachments, office documents and phone usage. That starts tomorrow.

As it was not unlocked prior to this afternoon, I used it exclusively with WiFi for NetFlix, Hulu Plus, YouTube and at the gym using my 32GB MicroSD card (using the Stock Music & Power Amp Apps. to play tunes). It passed all these tests with flying colors.

I can't provide real world usage yet (as I had no SIM) but on WiFi alone, I haven't needed to charge until today. This is without utilizing any of the battery saving technology.

I'm coming back to Android from an iPhone 4S and all in all, I am very happy with my purchase. So far, it has exceeded my expectations and its build quality has drawn many a look.

Hope this helps.

All the best with your decision!

If you buy it from Amazon the Maxx HD is $199 and the regular HD is $149. Why pay the extra hundred to buy it from Verizon? Also, this way it is only $50 different so I feel like it is definitely worth that for the bigger battery and more storage.

I don't think the extra $100 is worth it, for $25 I can go to the store and get a 32GB SD card so I would be pushing 48GB of memory. Im also about to push 24 hours of battery life with 28% battery remaining.

I'm not due for my upgrade till Nov. 18th (so long TBolt). I'm hoping by then Amazon still has the Maxx HD for $199 and it's no longer backordered. The extra 16GB of space would be nice but it's the extra battery I really want. After dealing with the crappy battery on the Thunderbolt for 20 months I want as much juice as I can get, but I really don't wanna pay $300 for a smartphone.

Even if you can't get the MAXX my non MAXX gets over 20 hours of battery life easily

I got best buy to price match Amazon for the maxx at 199. Price it should be. Remember there are no contract and phone stipulations for best buy unlike Amazon phone purchases.
