I hope you mean razr maxx just in the back of my mind thought. Well let's see a razr with a keyboard or a razr with A super battery depends on if you're on the go a lot
Can you recharge? Car charger extra money for it.
Like typing on a keyboard I had the original Droid and it was cool Having a sliding keyboard so cons
No big battery or no keyboard really cut and dry.

One bite at a time...
A large part of the information needed to properly answer this question is related to you... and your smart phone habits. Do you need to have a physical keyboard? Do you find it more comfortable to press a key and get feedback... rather than using a soft keyboard on the screen of the smart phone?
My better half used to have an OG Droid. We got it because she does a lot of texting with her friends and thought she needed a physical keyboard. More recently we replaced her Droid with a DINC2 which doesn't have a physical keyboard. Since getting the DINC2 she's figured out that she really did not need the physical keyboard as much as she thought...

I have the razr. My wife has a droid 4.
They are both basically the same phone. Same software. The droid 4 is of course a little thicker and heavier thanks to the keyboard. Her battery lasts longer than my razr (non-maxx version).
I can't see a difference in screen resolution like others have said. I look at her screen and it looks identical to mine in every way. I don't watch HD movies on it though. I have a 55" LCD for that.
It's all up to you. Do you want a pull out keyboard for faster texting or do you want the thin profile of the razr?

It's worse the the Green monochromatic screen on the original Game Boy? What about the G1, droid eris, or Samsung Dart? Perhaps isn't of a ridiculous statement that it's the worst screen in History, you tell us WHY the screen is bad.
To the OP. We can't decide what phone will be best for you, but the differences between them are pretty straightforward. Figure out what features you want/care about, then look at the specs and reviews and figure out which one is best FOR YOU.

Hyperbole ( /haɪˈpɜrbəliː/ hy-pur-bə-lee;[1] Greek: ὑπερβολή, 'exaggeration') is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression, but is not meant to be taken literally.[2]
"The Droid 4 ships with a 4-inch, 960-by-540 (qHD) display. Like the ones on the Droid 3 and the Droid Bionic, it's a PenTile display--and it has many of the same problems that we encountered on earlier PenTile-equipped Motorola phones. Individual pixels were visible to the naked eye, we noted a considerable amount of ghosting during scrolling, and visuals overall were not very sharp. In short, it's disappointing to see Motorola go back to using PenTile screens after phones like the Razr and the Atrix 2 had abandoned them in favor of cleaner-looking LCD displays."
The above quote was from PC World, but it echos the sentiments of EVERY review on this phone. I have personally played with one the day it launched and the ghosting effect is the worst I have ever seen on a phone. Even the Eris was better.
Satisfied?
No, I'm not. Because that kind of hyperbole makes it incredibly difficult to have an actual informed discussion on a subject. And I love that quote, because 1) the Razr uses a an AMOLED screen, not an LCD, 2) pentile is not a screen technology, it a way of arranging the pixels (and the Droid 4 uses an LCD display), and 2) the Razr uses a Pentile matrix arrangement for it's pixels.
And quick scan of Google does not support your claims for universal hatred of the Droid 4 screen. Glancing at the results, I see reviews in PC Magazine, CNet and Slashgear do not hate on the screen. The don't seem to like it particularly, but they don't hate it.
