If you have the Motorola Droid Bionic then you probably would've been upset that Motorola released the DROID RAZR shortly after. If you grabbed the DROID RAZR then you'll be even more upset that Motorola and Verizon have just released the DROID RAZR MAXX which packs a whopping 3,300mAh battery. Apparently, you're able to get 21 hours of talk time on a single charge with this so you'll actually be able to put that 4G (LTE) connectivity to some good use. The device is still very thin and it'll cost you $299.99 on a 2-year contract or $649.99 contract-free if you're interested. Check it out on Verizon.
