Samsung Galaxy 3 or Razr Maxx HD

[wurgs]

Its time to update phones and have it narrowed down to the Galaxy 3 or Razr Maxx Hd. I have read about the specs and comparisons online but want real world feedback. I especially want to hear any problems people are having or what the phone is missing that they wish it had. I would be using it for work and personal use, emails, lots of talktime and heavy internet use. any help is appreciated.

I like my RAZR maxx and want the HD. But who knows I may go with the next GS because I'll be buying a Samsung lap top in a couple months

I have the Galaxy 3 and I use about 90mb a day in data, probably 40 calls a day and maybe 60 text messages, listen to music most of the day, and the battery lasts about 5 - 6 hours without a charge. Other than that the phone is awesome.

i deal with many types of phones with my job. I recommend the iPhone 5. It doesn't crash, always works, it's pretty tough (i broke an iPhone 4 by dropping it). I've dropped my 5 twice and it didn't hurt it at all. The iPhone has an awesome battery and the app store is huge. My Verizon LTE data runs over 20mbps too. iPhones are also easy to sell used, many electronic stores will pay big money for a used iPhone. I also just like the quality feel of an iPhone.

My wife actually will be getting the iphone5 but we run some programs at work that don't work with Apple products so thats not a option for me.

Galaxy S4 is coming out next month I think...

I really like the droid m for its size. I'll go with whatever they have that's like it in a year.

Go with galaxy 3. I had the maxx hd and had nothing but problems with it. The battery would heat up to point of phone was hot to touch and I sometimes would show full 4 G but still would get no signal. Verizon could not figureit out. Upgraded to HTC DNA instead. Mi/as the battery life but the problems weren't worth it. I'm not the only one. Problems listed online too.

I thought about that but did a little research and all I could find is being released in the UK and Russia at end of April. I even contacted Verizon and they don't have a definate release date yet. The problem is if its like the Galaxy 3 the US won't get it for about 2 months after that, which would be the end of June at earliest. I don't know if I can wait that long as my current phone is starting to have some issues.

I read somewhere that it would be available sometimes in May here. I also read that it would cost as much as the S3.

[wurgs]

That would be worth waiting for if thats true, as long as my current phone holds out. The S4 sounds like a decent upgrade from the S3, better processor and a better camera.

FYI, the S3 price is dropping, now that the S4 is coming out:

Finally upgraded phones to the s4 on Friday. I found out it was being released soon so waited for it to come out. After having the Droid 3 for the last 2 years all I can say is WOW! The s4 is amazingly fast, the quad core processor is no joke. The screen has great color and is very crisp. Haven't used all the gadgets yet but after a couple days I'm very impressed. Heard some say the battery isn't the best but mine lasts about 18 hrs with pretty heavy use. Its only been a few days so i will see how it lasts.

Samsung galaxy s3 have a great features having long battery life,multitouch screen,camer 8MP with led flash,1GB internal memory.Its main features document viewer in the MS word,excel.pdf,powerpoint,sms,msm,email.It have unique feature of simultaneous HD videos & image recording.It is very useful for me due to these great features.

With pretty heavy use the battery disappoints me. It gives a warning before 8 hours. I have wifi and bluetooth on all day and i am on tapatalk most of the day. Also when I plug in my long charger it gives me this message and takes all night to go from 20% to 80% charge. Also can someone tell me how to get my phone number and address off the lock screen
