The current RAZR is 7.1mm while the RAZR MAXX is 8.99mm. Let me do some quick math here...the new one is 1.89mm thicker. Is that purely because of the battery? I guess so.

Instead of allowing the battery to be removed and letting people buy an extended battery & cover they've decided to go this route. I'm guessing that a whole lot of current RAZR owners won't be too happy about this.

sounds to me like a $100 extended battery thats only a small increase.

I was saying in another thread if the RAZR MAXX had a Quad Core, more memory and different screen technology or any one of those 3 I could see people being upset.

I'm happy with how thin the phone is (still thinner) and bettery life is good. Nothing to get upset about. Same phone but one is thicker with larger battery.

I'll go with the thinner one but thats just me.

I don't think that a phone made from kevlar and stainless steel, covered with a water resistant coating should ever, EVER be purple!... :icon_ lala:

 

[mach330]

really moto? Not even an hd display, but just beefed up battery? Looks like you're going to have another quarter with a loss. That's why sammy is kicking your a$$.

really wanted to get the maxx for my wife. but no hd display, no thx.

Then there will be a Maxx 2 having a better screen + the battery. And then a maxx 3 etc. Why didn't they just do this with the first razr they made. And like stated above they could of solved this crap by just putting in a removable battery

If they had done this with the first RAZR, that means the first one would have been scrapped in design, delayed and then released a month before the next flagship phone... Sound familiar?

Ambiguity at its best. All the weeks that aren't past are technically upcoming. lol

Oh and that is released in the coming weeks. No date is listed for ICS.

Larger battery, understandable. Purple? (Has there ever been a purple phone before?) What's next, pink, green, yellow, red....?

Call me a girly girl but I think a purple phone could be kind of fun. Depends on how purple it really is.
