I've been so close to getting this phone, and was almost sure I was going to upgrade from my X2 to this, the Rezound or the Nexus during this sale, but for the Maxx I just couldn't get past the non-HD, soft and somewhat dim screen. Compared to the Spectrum, Rezound and Nexus the screen is really a step down. The specs are also seemingly weak (1.2 dual core will be outdated in 2 months). I also would love to upgrade my screen size a tad more than the Maxx also runs as 4.3. I don't know, I know there's no perfect phone and never will be, but it seems like you have to give up too many things I care about just to get that extra battery size, of which I've heard mixed reviews on anyway.
Unfortunately, it looks like any rumors on upcoming phones have just as weak batteries as anything out now...leaving me to wonder if I'm going to have to choose this year between a beautiful screen or a phone that will last me through the day.
