DROID RAZR MAXX Pre-Release Thread

[jm667]

I haven't compared the Razr and Nexus side by side yet in hand, but looking at the specs the Razr is 2.71 in wide and the Nexus is 2.67 in. Unless I am looking at the specs, that is less than a 1/16th of an inch wider. Can you really feel that difference in hand? I know the one thing that felt a little weird to me with the Razr is that it felt too thin. I can't wait to hold the Maxx, as maybe that will feel a little better in hand with the extra thickness, even though it is hardly that much thicker at all!

Yeah. I don't really think it's the actual width. More the extreme thinness and squareness with no contour to fit a hand of any sort. I actually like my nexus better with the extended battery that is slightly convex rather than concave as it makes it sit in my hand nicer. All extra thickness that is FINE with me. The Rezound feels nice also in your hand and it's way thicker.

I'm 6'4" and have big hand, so usually prefer larger phones over small/tiny phones that feel as if they can be crushed. But the wide width of the Razr + the thinness = uncomfortable for me to hold. I am interested in seeing if the extra thickness of the Razr Maxx makes it easier more comfortable.
