I walked into the VZW store across the street from the hotel at 9:05 am, looked at the Maxx for a couple of minutes, the decided to pull the trigger and walked out with the phone at 9:35 am. I let the phone charge in the car on the 3.5 hour ride home (it was at 70% give or take when I got it) so I won't know about battery for a while. The display is great, but it is washed out in the sun.
I was told that the Maxx is world phone capable. (So you can put a foreign sim in while outside the US.) [EDIT: I'm actually not sure that you can put another SIM in the phone, though you may. It's likely that it's SIM locked until you call Verizon. However, the Maxx is a world phone. The mobile settings allow you to choose Global, LTE/CDMA, or GSM/UMTS.]
The phone is a little bigger than I would prefer, but the only smaller phone with a large enough battery is the Galaxy S4, and I really didn't want that phone (and it's not much smaller.)
Because I was riding home I didn't do a full setup of the phone so I'll do a factory reset tonight and start again from scratch.
By the way, I noticed that the phone had a system update when the salesman first turned it on.
I also bought the bumper case, but I may go with something else later on.
