How did you get Verizon to send you a Maxx?

for anyone curious (sorry op...)

I have gone through about 15 devices since September. A lot due to data issues. I have talked to motorola and Verizon several times and they kept sending me new ones instead of troubleshooting the problem. Then .173 came out and data solved. So the next device I had the power button didn't work. The next one the gps didn't work at all, no lock what so ever. The next one had bubble gum on the power button. The next one had a blotch of dead pixels. The next one had terrible battery life (charged to 100% and it died 6.5 hours later while I was sleeping.....I was 45 minutes late to work) at this point I filed a complaint to the FCC for false advertising both features that didn't work and battery life. The next one the GPS didn't work.....again. finally I found a perfect one.

So life's been good for a couple weeks. Besides the fact I have a $650 charge on my account because the warehouse forgot to check the unit in.

So yesterday verizon calls me concerning my FCC complaint and offers me a maxx for free. I accept.

Honestly it wasn't worth the hassle I would rather have a working phone and pay the $120 for the conversion kit because the time on the phone was at work and probably cost me $600-800 worth of lost wages.

Funny thing is... I was very close to canceling my account and paying the etf , the only thing that stopped me was unlimited 4g data plan lol

Has anyone received there parts or sent there phone in yet and got it back?
While this is a viable option, it is too much money to spend on a phone that's been out 6 months already...and its not feasable to go without the phone...so I applaud the availability of it but respectfully will not be sending mine in..still hoping for a DIY kit form under 70.00.....preferably 50.00.

Has anyone gotten a PM or anything else since the last round of blaaablaaablaa?. Not saying this is a business or anything, it would be nice to have some kind of an update or to let us know if we are on "The List" or not. If I'm on the list it would make me ( meaning everyone ) more at ease. I don't think that I'm the only one that feels that way. It's hard to be patient when it is something that is needed so bad!!!!! It is almost half way through the month and some people have budgets they have to kinda plan for. This is not meant to make anyone mad ( Prime ) just sayin'........

-_- For the last time, if you posted here you are technically on the list. I am not going to post any more updates until I actually have something to update you with. I am still in talks with them to just send us the pieces and allow us to install them ourselves.

I these guys do not pan out, I have potentially found another supplier of parts that I am talking to now as well.

:-D :-D

And if I am unable to just have the parts sent to me I can hand the list of interested parties over to someone else if they want to still do a GB having to send their phones in, but I am fairly hopeful that I can convince them to send me just the pieces.

:-D :-D

Tell them sending us the pieces is the only way they'll make their money back. Most of us won't send our phones in, and if that's the only way they'll sell them, they'll be the ones left holding the bag.

I heard there is also a new part source for the items.
I'm willing to spend the $120 to do the phone. Group buy would be nice but I'd like to get mine done asap.
If someone knows a second/third source for the parts PM please.

Thanks.

count me out, found a maxx on ebay for spare parts for 150 and already did the convertion, will be selling the left over parts soon. word of caution if your planning to keep or sell the original razr battery, the original razr battery can get stuck on the backcover and there is a chance of ripping the ribbon wire on the battery if your not careful pulling the backcover off.

That's good to know. They didn't say anything about that in the video I was looking at. Thanks

Here is the one I found. It seems to be pretty good to me. Take a look and see for yourself. There are a few out there, but I think this was done the best.
