Be careful buying a Razr Maxx

metz65 · Jun 29, 2012

Just a warning to be sure and ask questions about what you buy.

Another forum I belong to has had a discussion because someone modified their Razr and now that is has a bigger battery they are selling it as a Maxx. They feel like if the buyer doesn't specifically ask them if it's really a modified Razr that the buyer is at fault for not clarifying that the phone they are buying is really the phone advertised.

Not a problem wasn't sure about which forum to use (marketplace, Razr) since it involved buying a Razr.

Who'd you buy it from? I saw one in the classifieds here recently.

I didn't buy it. It was a guy on another forum who is getting ready to sell his. He claims it is ok, several of us have tried to convince him it's wrong to no avail.

I'd like to have a white razr with a razr maxx battery that would be my ultimate phone

I thought the easy way to tell them apart was that the Razr has a silver Moto logo and the Maxx has a black one?

They sell the kits and I may upgrade mine later.... I guess it does kinda make it a Maxx, but dishonest to list it as one...

That is correct I got both razr and razr maxx.. Razr has silver motto logo on top of the screen and Maxx has black..that's how you can identify..

Also I ordered conversion kit from the Cell phone repair shop in the month of April and they said they will deliver it by may 30th and on may 30th they said they will deliver it by June 30th and on June 30th they again sent another email informing that they will send it by July 30th..so in short they are only taking pre-orders but not delivering as promised..I would not recommend to buy from them unless you have an infinite patience. So I now bought maxx and the battery life is killer..it's Monster MAXX.. As it last for 1 day 18 hours and 53 mins..

Actually it makes it FRAUD to list it as one (without clarifying that its a normal Razr with a 3rd party battery installed).

If you are referring to the logo just about the speaker on the front of the phone it should be black for the Maxx and silver for the original Razr. That is the differentiation according to Verizon and Motorola.

The earpiece speaker shoud be a darker color on the Maxx than on the Razr, more of a gunmetal or black color than straight up silver.

My logo above the speaker is silver and my phone is a Maxx.

Is the "Motorola" text silver, or is the area around it silver? For instance my Maxx has Silver font on black background. Regular Razrs have Black font on Silver background.

Yea my font is silver background is black. When people say the logo I take that as being the lettering.

Yeah, figured we were all on the same page, just had a different idea of what made up the "logo".
