We just got our Razr Maxx and have already posted our unboxing early this morning. From the look of things the Maxx is very similar structurally. All of the components are in the same place. Really all that seems to have changed is the thickness in response to that massive 3300mAh battery. What's perhaps more exciting is that the software hasn't changed. They have identical versions, builds, webtops, and kernels. So, in theory, all of the customizations available for the original DROID Razr should be applicable to the Razr Maxx. This is fantastic news for those looking to pick up the Razr Maxx, and perhaps just a tad frustrating to those who bought into the plain Razr.
