Discuss all Moto Droid Razr/Maxx HD rumors/release date/speculation/news

[Sarrith]

With a new upgrade fee starting on April 22nd.. I would not be surprised if the phone does not come out until after that.

Glad you guys said something. Didn't hear about this:
Verizon Wireless to add $30 upgrade fee for all existing customers | ZDNet

wondering now if I should just get the maxx or if the fighter will be worth the extra $30 charge if it comes out later =\

 

[_Aardvark]

I agree, but if they are going to do that, they need to start releasing a lot of information about the phone right now! Otherwise, people will upgrade now to avoid the fee since there is nothing for people to hold out for.

The GNex from Amazon Wireless is starting to sound slightly better now...

here is a good comparison look at both rumors of Fighter and Galaxy S3, my vote Figher > S3. read a report online of how quad core could be good but at the same time it can be a huge battery killer for phones. and with the Galazy S3 giving such a low battery I would give it <12 hrs battery life.

So I guess the first rule of Droid Fighter Fight Club is to not talk about the Droid Fighter Fight Club?

 

[Sarrith]

ok its the 12th! wheres my baby!?! Any news???

What good are rumors if you can't count on them to be 100% accurate?
Hope they're not pushing it back to the 22nd to make sure we get hit with the upgrade fee.

fizzle...

I would say the rumors of it being pushed back until June/July would be more accurate. Have to get those 3rd Quarter numbers and the Maxx did JUST come out at the end of January so prolly spacing out the phones a little bit. Very unfortunate cuz I need to get rid of my Droid 1 RIGHT NOW lol. Phone turning off 5x a day, battery dies in 3 hours with minimal use, and switches into spanish mode once a day o.o

 

[MalikBear]

Bummer, my company is upgrading at the end of the month and I was hoping to see this get released. Maybe my luck will change by then but atm i'm still torn between the maxx and the nexus as my alternative choices.

I still haven't been able to get any solid information from my Job on this Device. But everyone knows Verizon will push something back if they feel its not up to their standards.

Will keep you guys posted as soon as I get some info on the device.

Rofl... standards. I can only imagine how terrible the software must be if it's not even "verizon quality" yet...

I have a Q for everyone
i have untill the 18th to cancel and wait for it.

i signed up with wirefly and have allready had one bad mic, one bad power button and 3rd is due to arive in the morning (im thinking of not opening it and Rejecting delivery.

will the fact i had service for 14 days and then canceled and then come back 14-30 days later when it comes out. affect me as being considered new customer and get for the lower price?

i just dont want to be hosed with this thing..
(kinda dont like it due to Voice qaulity vs sprint S2 (i still have LMFAO)
and to be honest im not going to pay so much for a upgrade to it to come out weeks after ID FLIP A LID>>

OK - here's my (semi) contribution - my wife got a Maxx this morning - just told me that the TRAINING on the Fighter was yesterday - no idea of the actual release date. . .

Did they have any demo units?

Wife said no. . .

 

[Sarrith]

Wife said no. . .

What position with verizon does your wife have? Manager? customer service? retail sales?

Family member says she hasn't recieved training for it or heard of it. shes in customer service.

Buddy who is retail sales rep hasn't been trained for it or seen it, same with his manager.

 

[DILands]

Customer. She asked the rep in our corporate store. Rep said training was yesterday. My upgrade isn't until sometime in May, I'll actually wait if the fighter isn't out.

On the other news that Verizon employee "training" just happened...
1) Gosh, I hope that didn't break their bank! They haven't started collecting that 30$ fee yet.

2) Hopefully some more information will leak now.

Maybe they are changing the name to that?
Droid RAZR HD - Droid RAZR MAX Release Date, Reviews, Pictures Cases | Upcoming Verizon Phones
Phone looks different, but maybe "secret" pic was wrong? or this can be a totally different phone. Time will tell

I hope that page is wrong... I'd only consider the phone if it had a 4470 processor + MAXX sized battery, or the new S4. If it's just a rehashed RAZR, then I have no desire to buy a phone with 6-12 month old internals at a premium price today.

Still not sure if phones need 2GB RAM yet though... Seems like overkill, but it's better to have and not need, than to need and not have.

Considering that it talks about rumors of a RAZR MAX, it must be a really old page.

interesting choices between Fighter and the Incredible 4

interesting choices between Fighter and the Incredible 4

I think the Incredible will be out shortly, not so sure about the Fighter, so that may make the choice a lot easier.

I think the Incredible will be out shortly, not so sure about the Fighter, so that may make the choice a lot easier.

depends on screen size. I am looking for 4.3 and the Inc is rumored to be 4. I have OG Inc at 3.7, I need more real estate for work apps.

I can be patient... but I wont like it and will make my wife miserable until I get something new!
