Could someone please clarify if the phone being discussed in this thread is the MAXX or the XX?
Since people aren't sure of the names or whatever... i refer to the Maxx as the phone that does not look like the old razr and has glass on the front. I refer the xx as the phone that looks the same as the original razr.
Thanks!
I think it's the xx. I know we want it to be the Maxx but it's the xx.
Plus the boy-genius had a proto of this phone testing for cingular....
Because that is going to be released by Motorola (hopefully) and is suppose to be for the United States (again hopefully)....
If this is in testing now.....my RAZR is being sold for this....
Yeah, aside from the face plate, it looks like a V3. I saw the phone on the 2nd at a launch we had for 3G in St. Louis. I wasn't too impressed by it. KRZR was actually cool LOOKING. Although it's not 3g it's an okay looking phone.

I played with the 3g razr prototype at an awards banquit that motorola paid for for the agent my friend works for. he took me and i played around with it for about a min. i was actually sad when i saw that it really does only have a 1.3MP camera:-( it was only a little bit thinner than my CU500, but not much. The one i used was cingular branded and had CV on it. I looked for signs of VideoShare or calling on it, but didnt see anything in the short time i had. i didnt get to try the CV because it didnt have a live sim in it. all in all when i held it next to my CU500 i have to say that the 3g razr was way more solid. I asked what it was called, but i dont remember him telling me the answer.
and

It's the xx or izar or something like that, (I can't remember what the moto lady called it, definetly not the max. I've seen the max too. Some guy got one from Europe and was using it.
Maybe this photo can help shine some light on the debate.
Look at the 27th sku...
Thanks Phantom; so what we'll see this holiday season is Verizon getting the Maxx and Cingular launching the V3xx. Not bad. Motorola is definitely playing a win/win game.
It's stupid how they didn't choose the MAXX!?!? It's so unique compared to the same old worn out V3 design. I guess that's what the KRZR is for, though Verizon has a KRZR and a MAXX Gosh, Verizon wins again. No matter, I hate Moto anyways.
It would be cool if the xx had the dragon design on it, though I doubt it, as it doesn't appeal to many .
The A707 is a much better option, considering; 1. It's (somewhat) available 2. It has a nice black design rather than gray 3. 2 megapixel camera 3. Not a Moto 4. Has Cingular Music support
The only thing is the xx has 3.6 Mbps HSDPA rather than 1.8 on the SYNC. But you watch Moto exclude that feature for some pointless reason.
The RAZR xx that got FCC approval isn't for Cingular. No WCDMA 850. If you go through the FCC documents, it says specifically on the confidentiality letter that the phone isn't for use in America.
I played with the phone also last weekend. The face place is different, maybe even the internal screen may be a bit larger, but thats it. As you can see the face plate is a little different. Here is the phone I had in my hand last weekend.
The maxx was there also, but when I asked if it was coming to Cingular the Moto rep just smiled and said she didn't know yet. I asked another rep on Sat the second day of the show and he said he didn't know either. I guess Moto is keeping things hush hush and on a need to know basis. I got the least amount of info from Moto than from any other Cell Manu.
Consultants have credibility because they are not dumb enough to work at your company.
Managers are like cats in a litter box. They instinctively shuffle things around to conceal what they've done.
If you give a man a fish he will eat for a day. But if you teach a man to fish he will buy an ugly hat. And if you talk about fish to a starving man then you are a consultant.
