Hands on with the DROID RAZR MAXX at CES [Video] 4

Yesterday Motorola and Verizon announces the DROID RAZR MAXX. This is one is a slightly thicker DROID RAZR, but trust me it's a good thing. They put in a 3300mAh battery in this bad boy, which is exactly what you need for LTE/4G. They're promising nearly 24 hours on one charge, and basically it adds 1.8mm of thickness. Unfortunately it will launch with Android Gingerbread for now with most likely an Ice Cream Sandwich update in quarter 2. The extra thickness actually gives the phone a better feel in my opinion.

His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.

It’s awesome, but I’m a little disappointed that the rumored specs aren’t true. Wondering if this phone can compete against the Galaxy Nexus without the 720p screen and ICS on board.

Really looking forward to this one. Finally an LTE device with adequate
battery life out the box. No need to add some battery that looks like a
big camel hump!

  Amen to that. I have a Thunderbolt with the bigger battery and a Seidio case. This thin is huge and I still can’t ge more than 8-10 hours out of it.
