I received my new Droid Razr Maxx yesterday morning, and so far, it seems to be a great phone. The only issue I have found so far is the "known issue" with the hotspot feature. Using the hotspot, I am able to connect to many websites, but not others. Supposedly, this will be resolved by mid-February. I hope so. The on-board USB tethering works fine, but requires Windows Vista or Windows 7. The battery life is great. I charged it overnight in the Multimedia Media Dock and have been messing with it since 8 am this morning. The battery is at 80 percent after almost 6 hours. As far as I know, I have not lost the 4G signal once. I did 12 speed test and the highest I got, sitting in my den, is 23669 kbps down and 12460 up. The best ping is 43. Average speeds are slightly less. So far, there is nothing about this phone I don't like except the hotspot issue.
