Thinking of taking the plunge to the Razr HD but not sure what to get. Would you get the RAZR HD Dev edition or the Maxx? I will be paying outright to keep my unlim data with Verizon. The unlocked edition is tempting to mod it but so is the extended battery life of the Maxx. I'm a fairly heavy user coming from the Galaxy Nexus that wasn't cutting it in the battery department.

I was torn with the decision too (coming from a Thunderbolt), but ultimately I went with the Razr Maxx HD. I am confident enough that with fastboot and kexec (once a Razr HD hack is available), that needing an officially unlocked bootloader is not required to satisfy my power-user needs.

Loving the Maxx thus far. Rooted it within the first 10-minutes of powering it up. It just "feels" like a good phone. Great build quality (doesn't feel cheap/plasticy like Samsung phones) and the weight isn't much different than my T-Bolt. And I am really looking forward to experiencing what multi-day battery life feels like. I rocked the Rezound battery in my Thunderbolt, and for the phone got good battery life, but I would never go overnight without charging since it would be at 20-30 by the time I would head to bed.

Looking forward to what the dev community has in store for this phone!

I just bit the bullet and paid for the dev... although the above poster is accurate I just like knowing that my device will be unlocked from day 1... the battery is still miles above older phones.
