Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD (Verizon)

Pros: Packs a lot into a very solid, quality package. Screen is enormous and the bezel is smaller than the previous Raxr Maxx. Totally flat back; overall high-end design. Powers up very quickly; 'Smart Actions' Motorola software could be useful.

Cons: Froze once already - had to hit side buttons to restart. Not sure why the Maxx HD is $100 more than the non-Maxx HD. I don't need the 32GB memory, just the extra battery life. Camera definitely could use some help - maybe software will help?

Summary: Very happy with phone overall thus far, but in full disclosure I was coming from a Droid X so I probably would have been happy with anything released since 2010.

I'll report more after I've used the phone for a full weekend. The fact it froze up on me within the first 8 hours is concerning. At the time all I was doing was installing applications from the Play market one at a time.

Used this for a good 72 hours now, personal and business use. Finding more cons to add than pros, but overall am very happy with the device overall.

More Cons:
Screen is enormous but the utilization of the space is very poor. Google Search on the top of every homescreen can't be removed, icons are under-sized, icon spacing is wide, pictures of those being dialed are very small. Also with the screen, the top status bar is painfully small and under-emphasized despite being loaded with crucial information. Media volume through Bluetooth does not get loud enough. Camera is really terrible, extremely hopeful software can resolve grainy-ness and persistent darkness of shots. Will try some third-party apps soon.

More Pros:
Battery life is legit amazing, display at 100% brightness is a sight to behold. Speed is consistently impressive.

Hasn't frozen on me a second time! Just once that first day.
