Been having ongoing problems with both my Rezounds. If you were to trade them in and get a free replacement, would you go with the Razor, Nexus or Charge?

Razr - Maybe, battery life is questionable and no ext battery option... Razr Maxx Definitely!
Nexus - Decent device, wouldn't trade my Rezound for it but I don't have any issues with it. If you are a tweaker this is the way to go, tons of ROMs and Jelly Bean too.
Charge - NEVER! It is a decent device, but only GB and more of an equivalent to a Incredible 2 with 4G instead of Global Mode. You can buy these online in really nice shape for right around $100. The specs are terrible in comparison to the Rezound, it would be a definate downgrade.
Shoot for a Galaxy S3... I have heard of people getting them if they complain/whine enough as a replacement for the Rezound. They are a solid device and really nice.
My 2 cents worth.
The Rezound, Nexus, and Razr are all clearly superior to the Charge in all aspects, I would avoid the Charge if all possible...Don't think the Razr Maxx is an option, just the Razr.
Tried for the Galaxy S3, but don't think it's gonna happen...the Razr, Nexus, or Charge is it. Is the Rezound still a better phone than any of these?

The Razr and Nexus are comparable devices, it is kind of a personal preference thing, each has their strengths and weaknesses. If I was going to pick one between those two it would clearly be the Nexus.
Here is a decent comparison of the three:
Motorola DROID RAZR vs Samsung GALAXY Nexus CDMA vs Samsung Droid Charge - Phone specs comparison
I honestly wouldn't go for any of these phones over the Rezound, but I think the Galaxy Nexus is definitely the next best thing. When I got the Rezound initially, I was debating heavily between that and the Nexus. I loved the shape of the Nexus, and having the latest OS (at the time ICS, Rezound only had GB).
As a Nexus device, the GN should be heavily supported both by Samsung/Google and by the development community for longer than either the Razr or the Charge. My mother had a Droid Charge for a few days before I convinced her to ditch it--it was a lousy device, and quite boring to be honest.
A friend of mine has a Razr, and it's okay at best...but I really don't like Motoblur. I'd say if you had to choose between these three the GN is the clear winner--it has a 720p screen as well, so it won't feel like a downgrade in terms of screen real estate.
For most people, the reception on the Rezound is superior to most other phones available, the radios are impeccable and few phones in history can match it's signal grabbing and maintaining capabilities (LG enV or VX8600 might come close)... that being said some people have had issues that seem handset specific, possibly manufacturing issues or defective components... compared to the Nexus the Rezound is usually way ahead of it in this regard, but some people in some instanced thing the Nexus has equal or better reception.Is call quality and reception worst on the Nexus?
The Nexus and Rezound are comparable devices, for most people I know it is just a personal preference thing and how they use it as to which is superior in what areas.Aren't the Nexus and Rezound comparable?
Is baterry life on the Nexus better than the Resound?
I've had the Rezound since spring and am currently holding my 2nd replacement of my 1st Rezound. I am so tired of this HTC product that I want to attack it like that one guy attacks the copy machine or whatever in Office Space in a field with a baseball bat.
Anyways they are letting me trade it in and I chose the Nexus.

I hope the Nexus works out better for you!
Got the Galaxy Nexus last night. They even tossed in an extended battery (but didn't send a charger so I had to go buy one).
So far I like it a lot better than the Rezound. Jellybean just came out for this thing and it's great. The screen isn't as sharp as the Rezound, but it's pretty damn sharp.
The Rezounds just never worked right. Alsways one thing after another.
The first one I got had 8 or 9 different issues, mostly it refused to hold any kind of 4G connection. Emails hardly worked, only ever saw maybe 2 of every 50 and only every couple days. Friend Stream pictures didn't work, Beats didn't like to work, battery was dead halfway through the day without use... i could go on forever.
Second one didn't like phone calls. Screen should light up when you take it away from your face and it didn't (even called HTC, who said that was a defect). This one didn't like mail either, which flat out is 100% completely unacceptable especially since I rely on emails for multiple jobs.
Third phone had the same issues with emails and phone calls. Phone calls were the worst on this one because it always sounded like I was talking into a long tin pipe and a metallic voice of me echoes back and made conversations awkward and confusing, especially when the other person was trying to talk through the echos of what I had just said.
The final thing fort me was I took a call and the phone refused to turn the screen back on. The other two at least turned back on when I hit the power button, but if I would start dialing anything (say making a card payment over the phone) the phone would black out again every 2 seconds. This last time it would not light back up at all and to hang up i had to remove the case, back cover and then the battery.
How did you manage to get Verizon to give you a different model of phone? I've been having similar problems with my Rezound and have been wondering how to approach Customer Service to achieve a favorable result...Got the Galaxy Nexus last night.

I love my Rezound. I went to the razr maxx hd and had signal problems. the max had a weaker reception then my rezound. I returned the maxx.
