[Q] Upgrade Options - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

So here it is. Time to upgrade. Followed the Eris->Inc 1->Inc 2 path so obviously I seem to like HTC phones but the Galaxy S3 seems like a nice one too. Since I like the Inc's I'm stuck choosing between a Incredible 4G LTE and a Samsung Galaxy S3. Anyone have helpful info or opinions?

Darn shame we can't get the HTC One on Verizon....at least not officially afaik...

I thought there was talk about it coming in the Summer.

Wait for the GS4 to hit big red. I'm not gonna pick HTC anymore due to this phone not getting updated n the lies. Shoot November hits I might even switch to sprint

My upgrade is on the 17th & I'm getting the SGSIII. I think it's a solid phone & I don't think the SGS4 is not a big enough upgrade for me to consider. However, i'm more purchasing the SGSIII because of price. Just me though.

[Q] Should I sell my G2 to buy a G2x?

I'm thinking of changing my g2 for a g2x or another 4G celphone
Depends, the main selling point of the G2 over any of Tmo's 4g phones is the Keyboard, (IMO). it happens to be, I may pick one up in a few months after it's been rooted and such. I wan't to see what the Dev community is going to be like on a phone like that.
I was going to do the same, but decided to wait for the Pyramid instead

good idea
G2x doesn't seem to bring anything new so I'm sticking with my g2. Next year whatever the best phone for tmo is, if its white then I will get it. Seeing a white nexus s is so amazing, it made me fall in love with white phones.

The G2x doesn't offer anything new?
It's dual core (first for T-Mobile and one of the first period)
8MP camera vs 5MP on G2
FFC (if you care about such things)
HDMI out (first for T-Mobile)
AT&T compatible radio (will get 3G or "4G" speeds post merger)
I can see the case for waiting for future phones but honestly the G2x is the most "new" phone on T-Mobile since the Nexus One.
Oh my mistake. I thought it was just a g2 with dual core.

G2x is no good. Htc much better than lg.

Aha next year... I hope the fcc doesn't aprove of At&T then maybe ill think of buying a new phone next year. G2x sounds nice but I want a phone made by HTC

What's your next phone virgin mobile users?

Hello all, I'm just curious to know what virgin mobile phone are you going to get after your wildfire s?
Sent from my HTC_A510c using xda premium
As of now, probably the EVO V 4G.
im thinkin the same thing
Although, now the LG Optimus Elite is looking pretty nice, too. I like the 3.5" and the NFC...
Yes! I was looking at that one, looks nice for $150
Sent from my HTC_A510c using xda premium
It's cheaper (even cheaper than my WFS!!) It's a hard decision to make. I really want ICS, but the LG Optimus Elite has NFC. Although, I won't be upgrading until about October anyway 'cause I'm gonna get a Nook Color soon.
Its a hard choice, I might save up some more cash and then buy the one V, Nook colors are sweet, I have one on ICS

Sweet! That's the reason I'm getting one. I hear it's easier to root than a lot of similar devices and ICS is really nice.
I think the V is more attractive in most ways, especially 4G (which I don't get where I live, but there are some cities fairly close with it) and ICS are pretty cool.
Yes your right, the nookcolor is very easy to root and install new roms (So easy a cave man can do it ) Ive had my nookcolor for about 4 months and i like it!
Ya 4g would be nice, hopefully the one V goes to virgin mobile, all we know is the evo 3d and lg optimus elite

Yeah, I've heard rumors about the One V, but I don't know if it actually will happen. Especially after the EVO V 4G announcement.
ya im thinking they might not get it since VM got the lg optimus elite instead of the one v

And even the EVO V 4G. At least they got one phone with a V, right?
BTW, I've got the international GSM version of the One V (Primou) and love it. Nice upgrade from WFS.

Above all else, the screen. It's no One X screen, but light years beyond the WFS. It's beautiful.
ICS/Sense 4 is really slick. At this point I have no desire for CM9. It's that good.
At the moment I have 700mb free for apps. And I have several 10-50mb apps installed.
The GPS is unbelievable. It can find 8-9 satellites in my cement house where the WFS is blind.

That's my biggest hope. If the current ROMs don't work, it's not worth it. I fear that it will be a similar situation to the WFS though. The VM version will be slightly forgotten behind the Sprint version. While Sprint and VM are essentially the same, the leaked RUU has really boogered up some of the Sprint phones, which leads me to believe there is a big enough difference there, but maybe not.
Hopefully they'll all be shipped S-OFF, though!!
After this phone, I won't be continuing my service with VM. The reception and data speed already was ridiculous. But THEN we got the data cap. And THEN they decided if I wanted to upgrade my phone, I also had to forgo my 25$ a month bill.
So I get less for more? F**k virgin mobile. I have principles.

hopefully its not that hard to fix because this time its not a completely different phone (ours is smaller and has no Sim) and when I get the phone I'm gonna hang back a little and wait got other people to see what happens to their phones when they try new roms

Which phone to get

So I've had my vision for almost 2-3years now or something like that. absolutely love it, but I'm pretty sure I can get an upgrade and apparently they are doing away with those so I have to act fast. Basically I don't know what to get.. there's the gs3 or one s would be my 2 choices.. any thoughts?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app
I've been looking myself, but haven't found anything I really want yet. The 'Era 42' rumors have been quiet, but I'm still hoping a G3 will get released.
If not I plan on just getting a GNex and going off contract. Between the price of the phone and off contract plans, I'll end up saving money in the long run.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
If you are thinking of looking at the HTC One S, then have a look at the Motorola Razr M. A few reviewers like Engadget like the phone (some doesn't like the camera) but perhaps it might be on your list of consideration?
My GS3 will be here tomorrow. I've always said that I wanted a phone with qwerty, but I recently realized that it's been a long time since I've even opened the keyboard on my G2. Swiftkey is what caused that to happen, so I know I'll be happy with the GS3.
There is a new "Galaxy S" Qwerty coming out from Samsung, supposedly has a dual core S4 inside, so it has good guts.
Other than that, the GS3 and new Nexus devices would be the only ones I would look at.
Go for the s3. just like me
Just keeping my DZ as long as a new Nexus comes out.

Anything but HTC
My heart says the DNA, but the part of me that has been screwed/ignored/overcharged by Verizon and HTC say go to AT&T and get a Galaxy SIII. Then another part of me says AT&T won't be any better, but T-Mobile and Sprint have crap coverage around me.
I will only buy nexus phones from here on out.
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
I think I'm due for an upgrade sometime in February 2013.
I'll just wait it out until there is actually something *promising* on the market.
Hopefully there will be a Nexus on Verizon by this summer.
Or maybe the rumored Motorola X phone?
Ah well, we'll see.

Oh, right - you wanted suggestions...
HTC DNA looks great, if you can stomach buying an HTC after the update mess here on vivow.
I like the Droid Razr HD a lot, but it looks like the bootloader is still locked :/
You could always wait it out, like I am. Anyways, let us know what you get!

HTC ONE for Verizon wireless

According to my sources Verizon wireless will have the HTC ONE before march ends maybe dna+ will see and will have a removable battery and sd card slot will look different alittle in colors hint red/black compared to the normal HTC ONE that all the other carriers will get .. And they will do there own marketing next week now that gs4 has gone and shown there phone.. Specs will remain the same might use a 13mp for camera instead thou .. Will the 13mp be better then the ultra pixels will just have to wait and see reviews. All depends on the camera SENSOR..

If this is true, i am definitely getting the HTC One
TechnoBuffalo's samples show the HTC One blowing the Lumia 920 away in low light. Litchfield's camera samples show the One is better than the Lumia 920.
I'd say it's going to be the best camera in an Android phone, bar none. SGS4's camera samples out there right now look horrible.
Ugh if it's true the phone you listed is not a HTC ONE

This sounds too good to be true. If it is true than I would absolutely get it over the S4.
Hopefully the price will beat the gs4!

How does a removal battery work when it's not located next to the backplate? This phone you're describing sounds just like the HTC One but completely different.
yea its coming to verizon but has anyone heard if it'll be in a couple of weeks or couple of months?

Join the club...they have NEVER had a flagship HTC phone. MAYBE the Touch Pro/TP2 days, but I'm not counting them because WinMo6.1 was so terrible. The Thunderbolt was somehow not as good as the EVO 4G. The Incredible's were incredibly mid-ranged. The Rezound was a JOKE and the DNA is too big/slow...
There's no winning in the US
