Got mine today, coming from the Droid 3. I no longer used the keyboard because I've gotten so proficient with Swype, so why carry around the bulk? First off, I can't believe this thing has such a big battery because it is still very slim and light. Secondly, I don't get all the bashing on the screen, it looks really good. I know everyone loves Samsung's screens but they are too dark when surfing the web. This screen is not as bright as the old LCD screens but the colors and contrast are much better. I have it turned on full brightness, why not, I have a big battery!
The only thing I'm disapointed with is the strength of vibration. Incredibly weak, maybe because of the built-in battery? I will never feel this vibrate in my pocket and may never even hear it vibrate in a meeting unless I leave it on something that will add to the noise.
pappatech: This is a problem because rooting and using the wifi hotspot is the main thing I plan on doing with the Maxx. Please let us know if you find a solution to the wifi issue you're having.
I found a solution that is working good right now.

Go to #9 post. I have tested and I am getting 15mbps down and 8mbps up. Pretty good. A little slower than usb connected but not by much.
So this solution solved your wifi Netflix streaming issue?
I spoke prematurely. A few more minutes after I posted it started acting goofy again.
Still at the end of the day, I can't help but wish I could have a Razr Maxx, with a Galaxy Nexus screen, running ICS. That would pretty much be the perfect phone. Given their strengths and weaknesses though, you can't go wrong with the Maxx.
I have a Xoom with ICS. It is nice, but I haven't noticed any real benefit. After using it then going back to my Razr I find I like it better. I useand like the Blur features.
