Im waiting for maxx hd. Prefer it over note 2 now.
Yeah - not dead set on it, but it's nice. Battery life is on pace to be solid - 5+ hours, 65% left - some wifi, a little 4G, a decent amount of usage (probably more than my norm since it's new). Data seems very solid, though 4G is solid in my area. But in and out of buildings where occasionally it would drop on prior phones, it's held solid - as good or better than the Maxx.
I won't quote my up/down speeds b/c I live and work near a tower.
So it's not really realistic.I will say the camera kinda sucks... well lit situations are good, but look at these three pictures of two of my kids... exact same lighting (low) and everything, and look at the difference in the three:

I'll leave these up for a bit, but I'm one of those tinfoil hat guys about putting personal pics up here.

Kids are adorable! All three off those pics were taken with the R-M? The first has good color and clarity, the second is washed out and the third has a blue-ish tint. What caused the differences.
Meanwhile I'm still waiting for mine

Thank you for the welcome, coming of consecutive HTC Droid's and just purchased the M today...very impressed already and excited to see what Moto brings to the table.
I consider my knowledge of Android average at best, did root and ROM both HTC, but not up to date or current on all the specs of every droid on the market. I used the info that you Android wizards in this forum and the Rezound forum to help with my decision between the two. In reading comments on this forum, it appears that Moto's biggest appeal of this phone is lost, and that is...IT'S A BUDGET PHONE! It was not designed to be the greatest phone on the planet and comparing it with current phones that were is pointless. No, it doesn't have an 2250p xtraHD screen or a 62mp front cam, cause it's $100!!! The Maxx and SIII are STILL 2x as much and they've been out for months or closer to a year...This phone is half their price and a week old! Now, if it has legitimate issues like maybe the 4G reception, that's a different matter...but other than that, can we quit comparing it to obviously better phones? Guess what, if I wanted to spend $200 the M never woulda crossed my radar. And if ur currently using a Maxx or Jesus' phone and are considering this, yes, it's not going to be to your standards, obviously. For those who are on a budget, or don't want to carry a laptop in ur pocket/on your hip, this phone is awesome! Finally, regardless of what you think, I'm not targeting ANYONE specifically in this or any other thread, just a reocurring theme I've noticed. I'll be the first to admit 96% of members here know more about mobile devices than I do. Sorry for the rant...I'm ready for the incoming blasting, haha

Finally, finally, finally got my Razr M last night via fed ex. First impressions: I love it! I know the battery will not compare to my Maxx but I am always able to charge (car chargers are very handy for that) so no worries there. I spent the night playing with it and I sincerely tried to like the home launcher but with the lack of customizations especially for the app icons (I prefer simple text on my home screens, not picture icons), I had to go back to using Nova. I lose the circle widgets but that didn't really offer anything that I didn't already have except the style, no big deal. I love the size. It feels good going back to a smaller phone. No more trying to find a place to carry my huge phone. The on-screen buttons takes up some of the display's space on the home screen (see pic below). I much prefer the on-screen buttons. Probably because I am spoiled by my tablet. I can't believe I am saying this because I love my Maxx, but I may be sticking with this phone for awhile. It is even quite possible that one of my sons might inherit my Maxx (but I don''t think I am quite that ready to depart with it yet).

The colors looks much more natural on the M as well.
That picture is really interesting - it was stated numerous times the screen would be identical to the Razr / Maxx, but clearly they tweaked something(s). I've been thinking since I got it that it was easier on the eyes than the Maxx was, but couldn't compare side by side like that.
Do you mind if I steal that picture?
I'll link back here regardless, but wanted to throw that over on Moto and XDA (unless you're already there, in which case I think that'd be a great think to show 'em!)

By all means, you can share that pic over at xda or anywhere. I barely spend anytime over there so it is all yours. One of the things worth mentioning... Because to me, there seems to be a huge difference in the pic quality, I thought it was the screen brightness that contributed to that difference. For that pic, the screen brightness on both phones is 30%. The other thing I am also noticing (although only going on day 2 here) is that my display takes up much less of the %age of battery use (50-60% on the M compared to 70-80% on the Maxx... both always at 30% brightness.
