Razr Maxx Let down

☚ī¸ ☚ī¸ đŸ˜ĸ

I don't know if anyone else has seen the razr maxx in person, but I have... I must say I am disappointed. The phone feels solid and looks good. The camera is excellent, I love the front display, with the glass front (had to keep cleaning it) But after 5 mins, it has lost its appeal.

I think what really hurt me was when I went into settings, display and themes. I was stuck with the same themes. Couldn't customize it, except for the color... and that hurt. So I have renamed this phone RAZR Standard.

But I still love Verizon, I'm still loyal to the red giant... Still lovin the LG 9400 TV phone...

Your levels of masochism amaze me. It seems that this keeps happening time after time.
Verizon announces a phone/ You guys create all this hype among yourselves/ The phones gets delayed/ The hype and anticipation heats up as rumors this or that (OBEX, UI and the like) The phone sees the day of light/ and yet, another let down.
I wonder whether Verizon phones really suck or you guys hype these phones so much that by the time the phone comes out it just can't meet your expectations...
Imma go by a local Vz store just to see if the phone really sucks or if it's just you guys...

I never had hopes for the MAXX anyway. It will inevitably fall apart like the rest of the thin Motorola lineup.

The 325 was a decent phone. The 710 was the only phone with analog reception and decent features.

The Startac was one of the best phones ever made 😁

Depends on which release. First release sucked ass. Any subsequent release was actually pretty solid. I always refer to the E815 as a fixed V710 w/ EVDO.

Ahh, no. I got an E815 about a month before they were discontinued. I went through 4 of them in a year. Fixed the problems, my ass. They still had the charger issues, the text issues, etc.

Just like the Q didn't work for me, yet it worked for many others.

I haven't seen a Q that works properly.


The E815 was problematic. I haven't talked to anyone that hasn't at least had rebooting problems.

it's just like anything else that is mass produced. we could buy the same thing and mine would be perfect and yours could be a lemon

Not in my book. I got that phone shortly after it came out. I had it for a week and I couldn't do anything on it. If I surfed the web it would freeze up and reboot. If someone called me and I answered really quickly, it would get confused or something and it would reboot. The alarm clock would never go off. The usual charging problems. The earpiece sounded muffled. I bought the phone after many rumors in here that it'd have full BT. It didn't, so I stopped playing games with Vz and went somewhere else.

I put up with Verizon for the reception. Granted, the features are better with T-Mobile, but what Verizon has isn't shabby.

The ill feelings are soo misguided. The phone ITSELF is awesome...it's what Verizon does to the phone internally that kills it and makes it no fun. Who cares about a new phone if the OS is the same in all of them???? There's no point to buying a new one! 🙄

I would rather have the VX8700. It has nothing to do with the OS and everything to do with Motorola making phones that fall apart in 6 months.

Never try the Q. I love the features, but I love a phone that works even more.

They said that the black Q is better, but I was to afraid to mess with it. I do wonder what Amp'd Mobile's Q is like.

Wrong thinking. Please don't blame Moto. It is Verizon who made those changes.

They have big buying power and disregard the OEM design.

The Bluetooth, User Interface and post Qualification and FCC approval did not originate from Motorola, who wants to make a good phone.

Yes, I still love Verizon too, and feel badly that they still inhflict the nonsense on Moto.
