Do they still actually do this? I was under the impression that VZW changed their policy on that, and dropped the three strike rule?

You should ask them if you can get another Eris and save your upgrade for later.

Incredible looks awsome but so do
All the other android based phones. Help me xda

i would second the vote on incredible. the droid is old, the incredible is newer and would be an actual upgrade worth getting.

The question you have to ask yourself is do you want to root. You can root the Eris now, but you might not ever be able to root the Incredible.

Thats a good question. I think it will be rootable just like all the other android based phones

The Devour sucks in my opinion. Unless you're into that whole social networking thing A LOT. My vote goes to the incredible. Or you could get another Eris and wait until the next best Android phone comes out (which probably won't be long) with Froyo and maybe a better processor or something. That's what I'm doing. But if you must, then the Incredible.

The Incredible. No Doubt. The Speed of it is Insane. It has the 1 Ghz Snapdragon Processor. DO a search on reviews of it. You will find nothing but great things. I am so Disappointed I didn't wait 3 Mos and get the Incredible instead of the Eris. I do like the Eris. But the Incredible, I Love. It is like choosing between a Porsche and a Ferrari. Sure a Porsche is great but a Ferrari is a FERRARI.

Haha yeah idk if i should wait 1ghz is pretty sweet

I would rather have a locked down incredible then a rooted eris.
besides it only took what, 3-4 months before the eris was rooted? cant be that long for the incredible.

i gotta say my vote goes to the incredible as well.. dont get me wrong i still love my eris and root on it is awesome..i have had all 3 of them incredible(current) droid(sold lol) and eris (current backup phone, testing device) u wont be dissappointed.. try one out for 30 days..u can always return it..vzw store hates me when i go in hahaha good luck with ur decision!______________________
Current:
Phone: HTC Incredible & HTC Droid Eris Rooted
Rom: Stock sense on Incredible(F'N Fast) , Sensable 3.1 on Eris
Root: Patiently waiting on Incredible and ROOT on ERIS

The rumored Motorola Shadow. Has a better gpu than the Incredible(so I read), which means better video support, and I think even better flash 10.1 support, on a 4.1in screen. The cpu is the like a faster/newer version of what you see on the current Droid, and GPU is suppose to be now 80% or so faster than the Droid from video I saw of the processors running on Android 2.1 on a reference device. The screen is suppose to be LCD so its not as vibrant as the Incredible, but it is better to use in direct sunlight.

That's what I'm getting for my NE2, provided it is superior to the Incredible. If it's not, I'll be switching to Sprint for the EVO and the better reception where I live.
I'll still be trying to squeeze a free replacement out of Verizon, which reminds me I better call them before they close

wellllllll... maybe.
Motorola also owns the trademark for "Droid Ultra" (along other things) and moto has 2 model numbers in verizon's systems. one just letters/numbers and another for "DRU-###" ( where "#" means numbers, I didnt get a chance to write them down when I saw it).
I belive this manual is for the droid ultra, or droid 2 or whatever you want to call it, but not the shadow.
all concept images of the shadow so far have been white, with a loop on the bottom (presumably for a wrist strap, most likely an external antennae), where as concepts for the ultra have looked like the phone in this manual.
granted, I'd take even my own words with a grain of salt. even reliable tipsters have been wrong before, but to me, this isnt a shadow, it's the ultra. unless, as rumors have it, the shadow is the new "nexus 2" where the ultra will take on the N2's old moniker.

It better not have the same lag issues as the current crop, otherwise im not buying it.
If it doesn't have tons of ram i don't want it.
omg it makes me so sad to see this after ive only had my captivate for a month but imagine what the next year or two will bring!
Unless the samoled 2 is also a solar panel, I don't experience the best battery life...

Probably gonna be bogged with RFS and and TouchWiz. If they bork the nexus S with RFS that will seriously suck. I know we can run lag fixes etc. but it would be nice to get a phone that doesn't need to be hacked just top be functional (totally would still root it, but its just the satisfaction of knowing that I wouldn't have to ^_^)
I'd still pick the Nexus S.
If the Captivate has such awful battery life, I can't imagine what a 1.2ghz processor and a 4.3" screen will do to it.
The Google Experience with a 4" screen is my dream phone. The S2 sure does look pretty though.

			
				
with all this extra power, bigger screen etc, I couldnt believe what kind of a battery it would need to be HALF DECENT.
Companies should stop competing in cpu wars, display wars etc and really revolutionize a battery that will last at least a full 24 hours with moderate usage.

Interesting, I didn't see GPS on the feature list. Like its predecessor it looks like this phone won't come with GPS either.

This isn't fake at all. I have a very good source at Samsung who can confirm this device, although those slides are not final. Like Engadget said, these slides are 100% real from Samsung... they just used an image of a different device to get their point across. Not meant to be seen by the whole world.
Anyways, the device (which can be confirmed real by Engadget, BGR, AndroidCentral) is called the Samsung Elite: http://briefmobile.com/new-samsung-elite-specifications
It is the successor to the Galaxy S line and it's due in early 2011 for announcement.

Sounds reasonable, I was wondering if it's samsung advertising our a mock up of what might come next.
People around here are so argumentative over things where they have no facts. Also I don't get what people expect of a phone, I find battery life between meets expectations to excellent depending on what rom and modem I'm running.
And where did the notion that amoled displays hog power come from? that's the opposite of true, I don't know what the droid x is like but go buy an evo and check the battery life, it's far from good.
I'm excited about the nexus s and hope the rom and kernel port to the captivate, I just wonder if the modem will be a problem, I'm guessing it will be hsupa+ (4g) and wonder if the hardware is the same in that area and if the modem file will support the att 3g bands, or will a froyo captivate modem.bin work in gingerbread? I'll have to wait and see. As for my next phone I'll wait for a dual core device.

Yeeesssss, loft in its beauty. Feel it in your pocket.MMMMMMMMM. So good.
I bought mine on launch, and I still love. My only regret the is potential loss of tmobile, but the FCC seems to be leaning against that.
I really like it a lot. I think it's still the phone I'd choose today if I was in the market again; I've really appreciated the stock experience, especially post-2.3.3 patch, which fixed pretty much all my gripes with it.
I love it, but the only thing that I can think of to change is making the speaker audible when laid on it's back. I had a few missed calls because of this.
I love it. Started off a little bit slow, but things are starting to catch up... slowly.
I never get sick of the phone's looks. And getting the Case-Mate Pop Case made me even love it more.
Edit: Slow as in development.
I love it to death. The only way I would think of giving it up is if the deal goes through. Having a 3g phone with no 3g is lame.

Same with this guy.
my brother has one. ihave iphone 4. last week i bought one. used but almost brand new. not a single cratch with no visible gtid pattern on the matrix pentile screen. it was stunning.
i figured what the hell, i will try it for few days. if i like it, i will keep it and sell my iphone 4. if not i will return it to the store " store owner is my close friend "
so i played with it. i think its awesome. but i gave it to my brother since it was in better shape than my brothers and he sold his phone.
i use skype video calls almost daily. and i play alot of games. i figured i can live without the skype but it was a no go.
its funny how a small things can screw up big things.
all in all i think its one of the best phones in the market. and i recommend this phone over any andriod phone available right now.
unless optimus 2x will have a cracked bootloader, then i dont think any phone coming soon will top the nexus .
right now i am waiting for the xperia play. for the same reason, i play games alo :/
Interesting responses. I for one, do love mine. I don't think I could ask for more except 3g.

Then you'll complain about Samsung's delay on Android X.X. Just stay on the Nexus line and wait for the 3rd Nexus Phone.
Got mine as soon as Bestbuy opened on launch day, rooted it later that day as soon as Koush posted directions. Still love the phone and wouldn't trade it for any other phone available now or that has been announced/rumored.

Your first phone you were truly happy with?

For me, the E72 was my first complete phone, it had wifi it had GPS, it had everything i could possibly ever want... it was not until i upgraded to the samsung galaxy 1 did i feel wow, this is everything i ever wanted from a phone but was it?..
For me, to make the perfect phone, it has to be something along the lines of galaxy nexus with micro sd card with the ability of being drop proof, water proof, etc etc....
and we're getting close, but the first phone i was happy with has to be the E72 for what it had to offer and it's long battery life.
I didn't find phone satisfaction until I got the Samsung Epic Touch (sgii). It honestly does what I want it to do, fast... I came from the TP2 so it was definitely a performance jump. Great phone!

This is kind of a loaded question. Every time I change I'm usually happier than with what I had before. My first phone was the Motorola brick in '91 so my second phone was a mind-blowing device compared to that one. As far as all-time fave during a particular time it would have to be a Samsung Epix. All the radios, push email, 3G tethering, etc. At that time, it was da bomb. Now, it's a resistive screen, stylus-dependent POS. Funny though, I still carry one of those POS's in my bag in case I'm not near a hotspot and need quick connectivity.

It is in human nature to always be looking for the next thing, you may get the biggest baddest fastest, but guess what there is going to be one better and soon too! However, there does come a point when technology will start to outrun its self, though I am not sure when... Once quad core phones actually start making a place in the market I am sure there will be a lot of satisfied tech heads.
For me however, I have only ever owned the EVO 4g and love it, though there are some fatal flaws and obviously it is becoming dated. The EVO LTE for me will be the next "perfect" phone, despite the overly protected bootloader... http://goo.gl/3T4NK
I was pretty happy with my old RAZR, even though it was the locked-down Verizon version. It got water damaged when it sat in my pocket during a rainstorm, but it came back to life and kept working for another year or so.
Eventually I wanted to strike off on my own and get a smartphone. The first one I had was a Samsung Moment. Needless to say, I hated it. I upgraded to an Epic 4G, and it's been much nicer. I really love this phone actually, it's fast, durable, and it has a very active development community and is very easy to hack.
Despite owning a Moment, the Epic redeemed Samsung in my eyes. Their phones are much more interesting to me now because unlike HTC and Motorola, they don't lock them down and make them difficult to hack.
evo for smart phone..

My HTC DHD is pretty cool, not happy with the screen's touch response though. The search continues.
Samsung i5500, an old model, but a very solid piece of hardware and cheap!
My Samsung Captivate when it was running cm7. It was as smooth as my GSII skyrocket is now. Minus the data speeds of course.
Samsung Nexus S with CM9 on it
I would say it was the HTC Advantage X7501. It was a mobile powerhouse. 3G, wifi, GPS, tethering, 8GB on board memory with an additonal card slot, vga/svideo out, and touch screen. Also had a detachable physical keyboard and a 5 in. screen. I still have it and it's still works fine. I thought of selling it many times, but just can't let it go.
I like phones that have groundbreaking features for their time, so mine would be:

The first phone I was ever truly satisfied with was the Evo 4g. It was as fast as any smartphone during its time and the dev community was beyond amazing. I could flash a ROM 3 times a week for months and not flash the same ROM twice. There was friendly competition (Myn's Warm vs Mikfroyo vs Koni's Elite Series III) for best ROM, there were ports (Synergy, Virus' Kingdom ROM, Mikz, Mikg, etc), there was aosp (cm7, just gingerbread w/no cm, MIUI, many cm7 kangs), there were kernels (netarchy, tiamat, msm79723's sbc charging kernel).
I got over 24 hours of battery life back then, the phone didn't lag enough for me to care and there was always something going on with that phone. It was a great community to be a part of and the phone itself was pretty *****in too.
I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and while that doesn't qualify as a phone, I've been happy as can be with it as well. It doesn't have the dev community I like oh so much, but Sixaxis compatibility + NHL Gamecenter + big giant screen = pure win for me.

Possible Indication of a Thunderbolt 2?

Just went to HTC's tradeup site and saw that there was an option for a Thunderbolt 4G ($40 for fully functional unit with no damage) and a Thunderbolt 2 ($150 for fully functional unit with no damage). Maybe just an error but still interesting.

HTC Vigor?
Article about the posibility of Vigor being the successor to the ThunderBolt
http://www.phonearena.com/news/HTC-...DROID-Prime-replaces-the-Droid-Charge_id22056
Unofficial pictures of what the ThunderBolt 2 (Vigor) might look like. Not sure if these are legitimate, but if you have a curious insite on this device, I would check it out:
http://posteritytechnology.blogspot.com/2011/08/htc-vigor.html
HTC Vigor is rumored to be an Android 2.3.4 smartphone with 1.5GHz Dual-core processor and 720p resolution 4.3" display. It is expected to replace the HTC ThunderBolt in VZW's line. Other details remain unknown. HTC Vigor features 1GB of RAM, 16 gigs of internal storage, 8-megapixel rear and 2-megapixel front-facing cameras, while on the software front it will run an updated HTC Sense UI, version 3.5.

And even worse by Verizon IMHO. I'm sorry to say that once my T-Bolt dies (this is my second one) I'm swearing off HTC for the foreseeable future. I will stay with a Google Nexus phone or possibly Samsung. I have a love/hate relationship with verizon. Love the coverage I get (even getting 4g way out in the countryside in B.F.E. Minnesota) but HATE LOCKED BOOTLOADERS and the "You root it, it's yours and NO warranty no matter what the problem is/was attitude". Sorry HTC once burned twice shy.
If HTC can't support their existing product and customers then no way I'm touching another HTC product.

In the end, yes Verizon likes to screw you, making their phones CDMA, the only way you're using their phones out of country is using their overseas plans. But from my research its not impossible to change a CDMA phone to work GSM, just very, very hard.
But what really makes me sad is HTC. If developers like Liquid, DVicious, BAMF and etc can bring ICS and possibly Jellybean (not talking Protekk's build, DVicious called him out on Twitter the other day on his BS) then why can't HTC have the frakking ability to use the power & potential the Mecha still has? It's all about Greed.

After all the **** the TB has been through, I doubt they would recycle the name. It would be like calling a new city "new auschwitz" or something similarly depressing.

Best analogy ever.

Should I trade my Optimus 3D for a Motorola Atrix?

The title says it all.
Should I make this trade? I was thinking about use Atrix webtop + his docks, but I already have an iPad 3 which makes kind dull have Atrix docks, cause I can perform everything better on the iPad.
So I was thinking, should I trade my LG O3D for the Atrix? Or wait and see if O3D gets ICS and so on...?
Im confused, becase O3D have the 3D features (ofc), radio FM (which I like it so much) and dual channel RAM that I though it a bit faster than Atrix.
On the other hand Atrix has their custom roms on JB already, good docks (which I dont know if im gonna buy it, its so expensive in my country) and more internal memory.
What you guys think?
Think about this 1st are you trading phones just to have JB? Or just because you're actually just tired of LG?

Im kind tired yes...
I don't wanna stuck forever on 2.3, because before my O3D, I was with a Moto Milestone 1 and it already have 2.3.
So Im really temped to try something new, but there so many questions on my mind, if it really worth trading.

well if i was in your situation i'd do my research (carefully) on the particular phone i want to trade my o3d for.... like read through the motorola atrix forum on here... read what others are saying by that phone, ask questions (if the question you have isn't posted) read to see how difficult it would be to root, upgrade etc. that way you'll know if that's truly the phone you want to trade to.
Hope this helps :good:
The Atrix is rather laggy even on custom roms. I had my friend's for a while, it heated up very quickly when using the Webtop and it was quite slow then. Besides, it won't be getting official ICS either.
Let me put it like this

}
My friend has a lot of problems with his Atrix.
Automatic reboots, ****ty signal, calls end randomly, stuff like that.
He sent it to Motorola 3 times already, and when they sent it back it never really got better.
And besides that, it won't get official ICS either.

I was going to buy the Atrix, but I chose the O3D over it because of the screen, although Atrix's is qhd, it's pentile. The colors are greyish, and O3D's is IPS, much brighter and colorful. But Atrix's battery life is way longer, while O3D's isn't even decent, But still, I still choose O3D over Atrix.
Im going to keep my optimus anyway, I only uses it for basic tasks, our phone is dual 512mb RAM ou dual 256ram?

Just a quick word: I will keep my P920 as this is a really fantastic community. Although we don't have ICS yet, we have great developers. We have true DualBoot (and I'm sure there will be a nice interface soon), we have OC-Kernel, our developers are trying to port a leaked ICS... And lots of more. Thanks to all... :thumbup:

Helpful tread.. i had a same dilemma and decide to stick with O3D.. only + for Atrix is the battery and nothin else i believe..
ps. this is my first post on xda...
Well, it all depends on your needs, I think.
I just exchanged a Motorola Milestone 1 for a O3D Max. The feature I want the most is the 3D Camera, to take pics and make movies, and all I wanted was a little more RAM (now I have 1GB, that's fine for me). Ofc I miss the amazing Google apps availabe for ICS and JB, but that doesn't count that much when I think that probably a year from now there will be a new GApps pack incompatible with ICS and JB, and I would get in the same situation I was. That's not what I want. The 3D features will remain the same for more years than the GApps, I think. So it weighted more for me.
If you don't use and don't care with 3D, go for another phone, not Atrix. It is a little old already, Motorola already dropped it's support for the webtop and lapdock and no official ICS or JB. So I'd suggest you get another phone, maybe a Sony from it's newest, that are beautifully designed, decent specs and probably will get more updates.
That's only my humble opinion, ofc. Good luck on your trade.
