So long and thanks for all the shoes

So my 2nd captivate died today. I went to ATT and *****ed enough to get an Inspire 4g. It was fun while it lasted and hopefully ill catch some of you in the inspire forums.
Thanks for the ride guys!

How much did they make you pay for that Inspire?

They gave me an early upgrade. So $99 plus they gave me a free case.

Should've taken a 3rd cappy, if that one ****ed up they would swap it out for any phone of equal value, or offered the inspire for $99 without wasting your next upgrade/locking you in to 2 more years.
Enjoy the phone and free case though...

Meh, I doubt it. Something better will be along by the time my next upgrade is available.

what will be your next phone?

i switch phones very often, usually every 3-4 months... but since i bought my tbolt at best buy i have to hold onto it till at least january which will be a challenge for me.
i know verizon doesn't always carry the best top of the line phones but ill be looking at the next iphone or hopefully the galaxy s 2 early next year.
what might be your next phone after the tbolt?

I keep them until I get my next free phone. Paid $10 at best buy for my bolt.

i got ripped off then being a new customer.

The TBolt is my Next Phone!
I just got the dang thing! Just rooted it and installed DasBAMF stripped 1.8.6 and the OTA radios from 7/8. Not upgrading the hardware for a LOOOOONG time.
Oh, FWIW, I paid $99 with a new contract via Amazon Wireless. I was out of contract and month to month on TMobile, prior.

I paid 129 from wirefly. I'll keep it for a while. If the galaxy sII is 4G LTE I'll consider it. It will likely get a ton of dev support.

I paid 180 for mine with my new every two and extra discounts.
I am thinking about getting a iphone4 (cough cough) from ebay just to check out and see what all the hipe is.

no way i would downgrade from a tbolt to the "new" iphone. thats like going from a 1000cc crotch rocket to a pocket bike.
im pretty content with my tbolt. it does everything i need. the 3d would be pretty sweet on it though

i probably paid more because i went through best buy, although my wife's lg vortex was free so all in all im happy. i think the sg2 will be my next phone.

After the MR2 update that just rolled out, I'll be happy with the Thunderbolt for a while. I'll hold out till they release a Nexus phone for Verizon, then I'll switch in a heartbeat.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App

Probably the Bionic. According to engadget, it will have full HDMI mirroring. Assuming this is true, it will be my next phone. (when it has been rooted, no much launch day buys for me.) If it isn't true, then I will wait till something has an HDMI out with a 960x540 or> display. As far as hardware goes, the TB is more than enough for what I use a phone for. I rarely ever use it for gaming. So, I really only want a better screen and HDMI. That is, if I stay with VZW. If I don't it will probably be the next gen evo.

Yeah. When I saw 129 from wirefly I jumped on it. The tb was actually my second choice. Wanted a charge.

My SO/GF has an iPhone 4, and she is always on it. She's a techie, but not quite as UNIX-y as I am.
Personally, and having been an iPhone 3 and iPod Touch owner (and still am), I cannot see any advantage to an iPhone 4 from an unlocked 1GHz Android device. Battery, perhaps, and pocket portability with the small screen. I would suspect to hear of your disappointment after a thunderbolt.

An announcement doesn't mean release date. There's been speculation it wouldn't come to other carriers until later in the year anyways.

That's why I left sprint lol. That and their BS 69.99 unlimited plan that required a $10 fee for data. I was fine with it until they took away yearly upgrades. Oh and the salesmen flat out lie. And when I went in to cancel I tried to pay my etf and was literally told "if you pay what you owe then our system will get messed up and will think you still owe" so they're stupid to boot. Tmo people are at least honest with their lack of real knowledge. I go into my local store occasionally to see the new phones and play with them and they always ask me questions about rooting and roms.

So long fellow sensation lovers... Unfortunately I dropped my phone and shattered the screen.. when I called the insurance company the told me they don't support sensations but gave me a choice of a galaxy s2 or a HTC amaze...
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

Don't get the Amaze! I bought it for my girlfriend since it had basically the same hardware as the Sensation, and I loved my Sensation. Completely difficult to do any kind of hacking or flashing, and there is NO development over in their dev threads next to some high school themers.
I guess I can't complain because I haven't/can't contribute to the development. But just a fair warning.

Your next phone

If you're sticking with Verizon and plan to get a new phone either at retail, or upgrading, which one are you planning on going with?

My upgrade is available in 10 days.
But I think I'm going to wait for the Droid DNA.
I dont like the feel of S3, lack of 4G on the Nexus4 is a dealbreaker (the whole reason I jumped on the TBolt!) if it even comes to VZW.
I dont see any other phones available, or upcoming that seem as good as the DNA has the potential to be.

I'm going to buy something off of someone from Craigslist. I'm definitely not upgrading and losing my unlimited and I'm sure not just going to walk into Verizon and buy a phone at full price.
I'm also waiting and hoping to see the HTC DNA. If it doesn't hit Verizon for whatever reason, I MAY go with the Galaxy SIII but I HATE Samsung's build. I don't like Sense as much as I used to, but I still favor Sense to anything else.

I don't think there is any doubt that the Droid DNA is coming to Verizon at this point.
They are set to do an official announcement on Nov. 13th.
It has already cleared FCC and there are leaked Press shots of it with the Verizon logo on it as well.
Not to mention, it's already in VZW's system, as a device with a non-removable battery.
HERE is my thread following the device.
I will be forking out full retail for this baby.
But I must THANK all those who have donated to me for the development of NuSenseROM, as that's what will be paying for it.
Thanks to all those who contributed, I can't wait to get a hold of this new HTC phone and look forward to seeing what I can develop for it.

I thought about that as well, but for me the extra $15/mo is worth it for unlimited minutes, and using AT&T's network.

That was my original plan when I bought the Nexus 7, but the fact is leaving your phone as a mobile hotspot kills the battery fast, and if you only activate it when you need it then it's a hassle to open settings, turn on mobile hotspot, then wait a minute for it to connect - all to check a facebook notification. Not to mention walking around with two devices isn't really ideal.

I'm waiting for the HTC Droid Incredible X hopefully in December. That thing is going to be a monster.

Definitely won't get it from Verizon, I'll get an older phone from eBay or Craigslist, maybe the Razar HD Maxx.

I am quite upset that they are going with DNA. I would have loved to hear everyone who picked up this phone say: "Hey everyone, check out our Dix's!"
Someone from their marketing department must have caught on to make the change from Dix to DNA.
