Haven't been in the forums for a little while but glad I came to see this thread.
Yes I still love my MAXX, mainly thanks to the battery life. I prefer GB though because of the size of the on screen tap buttons. ICS does seem slower, too but it's not to the point to where it's a big deal for me.
Two apps I'm going to install thanks to this thread are: GPS Doctor and Camera ICS. Haven't heard of those. Have had issues with my GPS being a little bit slow and I'm not too thrilled with my camera. I shall see how things change. Also found an app to boost signal strength that I installed, called Network Signal Speed Booster. There's a paid, ad-free version, as well.
At this point, I REALLY can't see any reason to upgrade. At least, not until maybe Microsoft releases Windows Phone 9 (a couple years down the road) and we get a better idea of where this cloud computing idea is going.
My other gripe is the crap quality of the Motorola car dock/rapid charger. It shorts out and I know I'm not the only user on this board with that problem.
Edit: I'm not a fan of the keyboard, but it's still better than what I upgraded from. I have big hands, I had a smaller screen even before the MAXX. Wish I could've held out for something that has a battery as good as the MAXX's and the size of the Omnia's (the Omnia II according to reports is coming to VZW, whereas the Omnia I was only on AT&T). Voice recognition works really well, though for me.
