Nexus? DROID RAZR maxx? I can't pick one! help!!!

[N3xus]

Hey guys first of all I love this forum and this is my first thread, I truly need help from you guys. I'm on my fourth nexus and they all had the same issue, which is the reboot. I know it's a software issue but everyday it reboots more than two times. I love everything about the phone. I love stock Android, not a fan of blur, HTC sense, etc. Recently Verizon sent me the DROID RAZR maxx as a replacement. It's a solid phone, it lasted me 17 hours before it died, unlike the nexus it dies in 5 hours. So I'm asking you guys if you were in my shoes which one would you stay with!? Pure Google godness or go with a solid phone that doesn't have any issues at all. Keep in mind i have until Monday to make this decision.

Are you familiar with root and ROMs?

If you aren't that could be another option before permanently switching to the Razr if you really want to keep the Nexus.

well... This might be just me... But it's a nexus device... Unlock it... And go with a different rom kernel combo... Then the nexus will truly shine... But that's my opinion

With the Maxx's ics coming soon, its a tough decision. If you plan to root/from and like pure ics, the gnex. The reason I got the nexus was for ics and because I wishfully thought Google and vzw would treat it like a real nexus with updates. But its problem free for me, and I wouldn't rather have any other phone

If you want a 2 year old screen res and OS, then get the razr

Wow thanks you guys for the quick replies, I've seen videos on how to root/unlock the nexus, it doesn't seem too hard to do. But how much longer does the battery increase by?

I can make it through the day on 4g. I probably get around 10-12hrs depending on how much I use it, and that's moderate to heavy use. If I use it lightly I got upwards of 15hrs or more. I'm running AOKP with Franco Kernel.

It's really easy to do... Extremely...lol...
But can drastically increase it... Especially when you find which kernel works best for your phone... With moderate usage on mine(running the imoseyen kernel)... I get twelve... With minimal... I can get like... Twenty hours with seventy-eighty percent

The maxx is way more Badass than the nexus. It has 2 x's in the name versus 1.

That's a huge increase of battery life! I'm assuming that this rooms doesn't make your nexus reboot?
