So they advertise 21 hours of talk time OR 15.8 stand by... not BOTH.   I got 4 hours talk time and 10 hours stand by...that is about as far from BOTH as you can get in my book

  I know this may sound stupid, and I am sure you checked, but are you sure you have the RAZR MAXX and not just the regular RAZR? I only ask that, because when I went to the Verizon store to do my upgrade, and I told them I wanted the MAXX, the rep got all done programming my phone, just for us to realize that he had setup the regular RAZR. He had to go about and do it all again once he realized what had happened. Those battery life times almost sound like what the specs were on the original RAZR.

  Just curious..

I recently upgraded my DROID X to a RAZR MAXX and yes, I saw the same thing in the store. The sign right next to the MAXX said 32GB. The rep said the MicroSD was 16GB and the internal memory was 16GB. Since I was planning to switch out the 32GB MicroSD in my DX, my first thought was wow - 48GB. But, being a bit of a cynic, I decided to look under the hood. Sure enough, it does show Total Space for phone storage as 16GB, But, Internal Media Area Storage is 8GB, and Application Storage is about 2.3GB. With my 32GB MicroSD installed, I have 40GB for general storage (not 48GB).

So while I agree that the sign is misleading, it is technically accurate. It's not a scam. A quick check would have revealed the system was consuming a lot of that 16GB, which is what I would expect of any Android device. The sales rep should have known (and not misled you), but you could have checked it yourself, too. This is also a good example of why it's important to check Verizon's Web site to compare device features, and also check online reviews. 20 minutes with Google would have made you a much more savvy shopper. <Comment deleted to comply with the .>

As for battery life, compared to my DX (or any other phone I've had) the MAXX is fantastic. I would certain choose it over Apple. My DX was solid for 2 years, and so far the MAXX has proven to be a fantastic device. Now if VZW would just push ICS out to all of us RAZR owners, I'd be even happier.

They keep promising ICS. I even received a text notififcation from VZW saying to prepare to lose the IM app, that if I want to continue using hotmail and yahoo IM that I will have to download another app from the store. Yet, no ICS. I have mixed feelings about the OS though. My misgiving about ICS is that Flash will no longer be supported on Android devices. This is the message from Adobe. I like flash (sue me lol) I like having unlimited access to everything I want while on the go without having to splurge on a tablet. If html5 were better supported by websites and apps then it wouldn't be an issue, but pulling flash at this point is just too premature. On the other hand, with ICS I will finally be able to take screenshots once again. I miss being able to do that. <Comment deleted to comply with the .> I think running flash is about as daring as I'm capable of.

ICS became available on Saturday.  Settings, About Phone, Check for Updates.  You can pull it, otherwise they will push it OTA to you within a few weeks.
