I absolutely HATE and despise my Blackberry now after being on them for forever. I'm not a heavy app user, so talk time and standby time are important for me. I'm still looking at real world reviews, but for now, for me, I still think I'm looking at going with the Razor Maxx HD (corporate Verizon account).
I've had the RAZR Maxx HD for about 5 days now.I unplug my phone at about 6am, don't talk a lot throughout the day, a few texts, mostly internet and I leave bluetooth, GPS and WiFi on all the time whether I use it or not. At work I get horrible reception, so my phone is constantly trying to find a network, switching between no signal, basic data, 3G, and 4G which is a huge drain on the battery. At about 10pm I still have between 33-40% battery life left (whereas on my old HTC T-bolt the battery would be dead by 4pm). When they say the RAZR Maxx HD battery last all day long and then some, they mean it.

The only gripe I have right now is that it doesn't have flash player. But I read something about flash player going away and websites replacing it with HTML5 (which, being somewhat computer illiterate, I don't really understand). But that is using Google Chrome. You can use Firefox, and maybe flash will work. I don't know. I haven't messed with that yet.

Other than that issue, the RAZR Maxx HD is awesome. And it should be getting Android 4.1 by the end of the year. I think the RAZR M is starting to get the upgrade now. The Maxx HD is big, but it fits in a pocket just fine. It is thin, feels solid, and is supposed to be somewhat water repellent.
