Well, this past week, I noticed the back of my beloved RAZR MAXX would swell and bulge out when it got hot. Looking it up on the web, it seemed I had a bad battery and this could result in an explosion.

I took my phone to my nearest Verizon store and showed them the phone. I told them I didn't have an upgrade (although my daughter did), but I didn't want to upgrade due to two reasons:

1) Pay a $30 upgrade free, even if it was a free upgrade.
2) Lose my unlimited data.

The store clerk got his manager and showed him my phone. The manager looked at it and said, "Replace it under warranty".

I stated I didn't have a warranty on the phone and that it was over a year old. He said again "Let's replace it under warranty" with a wink.

I asked to ensure it would be another Droid RAZR MAXX and he said it would. Since they didn't have any in stock, they would have to send it from the warehouse.

Well, yesterday I got the box. When I opened it up, the box the phone was in said "Droid RAZR MAXX HD". I figured it was a mistake. Upon opening it, sure enough it was a Droid RAZR MAXX HD.

Not knowing what I got, researching showed that I have the ability to unlock the BL, unless I was on the latest OTA.

Luckily, I wasn't. Now my phone has an unlocked BL and is rooted and currently running Eclipse.

All I can say is, I enjoyed my time with my RAZR MAXX. The phone held up pretty darn well. I was running 4.3 kernels (but had issues with 3g not working), but darned if it wasn't fun flashing like crazy with it.

In any case, I just wanted to say goodbye to all my other fellow RAZR users. It's been fun and hopefully, the devs will continue to support this awesome phone.

Take care everyone. I'll probably stop in from time to time to see how things are progressing with the RAZR.

So far, I love it. I can watch my google movies via hdmi out (for some reason on my og razr maxx only sound came from my tv but no picture). Also, I was lucky to get an HD maxx that could still have it's bootloader unlocked, so I'm loving it.

Not sure if I would recommend it for a new upgrade as it's not getting the attention by Googlerola since its close to a year old, but if you get it via a warranty swap like I did (even though it wasn't under warranty), it's not a bad swap.

It's definitely snappier than my og razr maxx and the higher resolution is awesome.

You will not regret it. This is one of most solid phones I've ever had. Been android since 2009 with the G1. Your phone is pretty much a Razr HD with a bigger battery.

Long live Motorola / Google
