It's not your dream phone!

It's the one after that!
....Because you'll have to buy a phone to use while you wait for it to come out.
See what I did there? Release the phone already Verizon. You're starting to look like the makers of Duke Nukem Forever.

Lol, that's exactly what I did! My contract with att is up so I got a dinc. If the tbolt gets pushed past 3-11 ill be stuck with it. (Which isn't so bad.)

Maybe that's why they wait to release, so that people can't back out of their other phones, and then VZW won't be stuck with all these 25-day-old phones that they now have to sell as a 'certified pre-owned' phone and lose money on it...
it's just strategically planned so that people are talking about it, spreading hype, and then the larger price tag seems worth it.

From what I hear, the Iphone4 for Verizon went on sale on Feb 10th... and they don't want those customers backing out to get the Thunderbolt.

To be honest I love my inc the only reason I am dying to get a thunderbolt is the lte lol. But like I said I love my inc and couldn't be happier. I'm a latest and greatest... may be a downfall one of these days haha.

Verizon's return policy is now 14 days, looks like they dropped the 30 day.

Anyone interested in getting rid of their captivate for an upgrade but not due yet...

I was only 4 months into my contract with ATT with my captivate. I had 3 Aria's and 1 captivate, all with problems i documented with ATT. I posted on ATT's Facebook page how disappointed i was with them and was immediately contacted and said they would be happy to upgrade me right away. Now have an Inspire. Good Luck!

Or complain to the BBB. Worked for some of us.

Eh, AT&T usually takes back the problematic device after swapping it to the newer one.
Pretty sure AT&T didnt let him keep 4 "disfuctional" smart phones.

I think he meant he went through 3arias and a captivate

So what's the point to this thread?

He was telling us how to upgrade before we were due one, without any extra cost. I think.

Correct.

I am pretty sure my next upgrade would be a Galaxy S II

When I first got the captivate I was coming off a Motorola Razr... guess how long I had that phone. So needless to say I was a little taken back by this "new" device. Very impressed, until two months later the charge deaths kicked in... AH! Never had this problem with my trusty old Razr. Got a refurb, all is well, but me experience has left me feeling a little tainted. Not sure if I could really be satisfied with it now, so patiently waiting for June, July, and August, this guy is.

There will be many things that you need to keep an eye on with a smartphone that you didnt need to with the older razor. No Smartphone will be without issues. The old razor was just that a phone nothing more. The captivate is alot more then that.

Going to Galaxy Nexus after Having Droid Charge

Just wanted to post my experience and hear of others that are also making the move.
Now I may have a totally different view than most, but Overall, this phone was pretty awesome. First I had a G1 on T-Mobile. The excitement of learning Android and having the first phone was fun. I've been fortunate to be involved in every dessert update. Finding XDA, rooting, learning ADB, all the learning of all the other stuff was awesome. Then I jumped ship and got the Droid Eris. Now shortly after getting it, I regretted the hell out of my decision. I should have gotten the OG Droid. But XDA helped me love my phone. Cyanagen, and other ROMs were awesome, and the Eris forum and developers were funny and friendly. Then with 2 months left in my contract and waiting for the Droid 3 to come out, I won the Droid Charge in the droid landing contest. I enjoyed the 4g fastness and tried to keep things stock, but I keep lingering on XDA and finally gave in. I couldn't believe how easy it was to Root and flash this phone. With that, I spent less time in this forum and didn't really post much. I purchased the TBH app leaks and didn't really come by and participate. But I will say that this phone at first was great, but really is a disappointment. Great cause the SCREEN, the easiness of rooting and flashing, and that's about it. The 4G never works when you need it the most. Don't get me wrong. When it works, its amazing! But those times it freezes and then goes to 3g then goes back and freezes, etc...RAM was not enough to do all this phone is trying to do. And of course the battery, but that's universal.
Now, I've sold my charge and have a prepaid VZW card for $300 ready to pre-order the Galaxy Nexus. My contracts is up, and I still have a new every 2 credit. I look forward to the excitement and fun experienced with the G1. This is a whole new OS, and I'm sure I'll be spending a lot of time in the XDA forums. I'm in total love with ICS. I was not disappointed at all with ICS. The hardware of the Nexus, um maybe, but you gotta be real picky. I think this is a phone I can finally have for 2 years and be happy with the whole time. Quad core phones next year, then by 2013 maybe HD projection phones. But this phone should be able to stand up to most competition till then. Hope it gets all the updates, and quickly. Jellybean?

I've got my money ready for the 10th.
I really dig my Charge, but I've been waiting for a pure AOSP experience on Verizon for far too long.

You traded in your Charge for $300 with Verizon?

Isn't anybody ever happy with anything? Is nothing good enough? ICS and the first phone to carry it were just announced not even 24 hours ago and you already want Jellybean on the phone? Good grief.

I want it for the ICS and dual core. Not sure if I'll be able to afford it or not though. Can't really blame ya for wanting to jump since it is such a bada** phone in specs. I'm kinda so-so with my Charge.

LOL...I think my post got misread by yourself, or mistyped by me. What I was referring to is that I plan on keeping this phone for 2 years. I'm hoping that in the 2 years, what ever updates that happen to come out, the Nexus gets them quickly. Then I put jellybean with a "?" thinking maybe if in that time it would get it. Like I posted above, I'm in love with ICS and would be fine having it for 2 years. But we all know that google updates pretty quickly. I have no idea what they could add, cause ICS is great, but when it's(JB) announced, we're all gonna want it, and soon. Just like ICS, GB, FY, ECL, DN, and Cupcake. Ahh, Cupcake.
Man, I remember waiting for Cupcake and wanting it so bad. Touchscreen keyboard, widgets, and record/playback video.

Doing this too. I paid full price for my charge since my contract wasn't up, but it is now. So hopeing to use that 50%-60% that I'm supposed to get back to buy the Galaxy Nexus. Now watch them not carry it >.<

Kind of in the same boat. I'm just not sure I can deal with this phone for 2 years. I've looked around a bit to see what I can get for it plus the stuff I got for it. I'm more interested in the Droid Razr, but regardless I don't know if I can justify that kind of cost.

MT4GS to go EOL in may

sauce: http://www.tmonews.com/2012/03/new-...t-shows-htc-amaze-4g-end-of-life-as-may-2012/
pretty sad to see a phone reach EOL in less than a year.
this makes the probability of an official ICS update even slimmer

The HTC Amaze, Sensation 4G, and Doubleshot have been EOL for a while. I guess we just have a set date.

*sigh* I don't know why t mobile insists on dogging the mytouch line. The mt3g was high end for its time, same with the mt4g and mt4gs. Now its like they've dropped them down to bottom of the barrel phones. Hate to say it, but I have seriously been considering the gs2.

The only real reason I have not is because of money. Those phones ain't cheap, and unless I have a real need for that phone (which I don't), its not really worth it to me to spend it. Also, my contract is up on father's day, so I will probably get a nice upgrade for cheap then. I can wait.

My upgrade is around the same time. If the GS III launch is anything like the GS II, it'll hit the states months after the rest of the world. I may buy a Galaxy Note and flash the radio that works with T-Mobile to tide me over until the GS III or something else comes along. Then I will have two awesome phones.

The release might actually be delayed - but Samsung is doing a simultaneous launch with 70+ countries or something like that I think. .

good for you. I am used to it... I was with Virgin Mobile before I came to T-mo and if you think T-mo is bad. *shudder* At least T-mo releases updates... In the history of VM there has been 1 update. 1 and only 1. To a outdated phone to an outdated os... So I personally can live with having a phone have 0 updates or go to it's end of life... There is always dev support.
Also people complaining of lack of dev support... There are lots of devs here compared to a lot of other phones...

Alright guys I'm moving to the nexus 4. its been a great 2 years with you!
My mytouch is going to my mom most probably, so I won't be able to mess with it as much (if at all). I'll probably end up on jellybeanDS for her phone, once the KB lights are fixed.
I want to give a special thank you to the following for really maxing out this phone through your awesome dev work):
Kornyone
Tbalden
SilverL
Xmc wildchild22
Scverhagen

Blue six
Undeadk9 (from way back when)
Anyone else I'm forgetting
And of course you guys. There's a great community here. I'll be in and out of here and keep an eye on some ROMs

Google has already called for a press conference on Oct. 14, supposedly to announce the Nexus 5, with the phone beginning shipment the end of the month. Some leaked info points to them finally offering a 64GB model, ditching the 8GB model (so having 16, 32, and 64 GB models available), and that all models will have between 3-4 GB of RAM. Also, they may introduce a Lytro-like camera, as well as a 2700 mAh battery.
