Same here. I've had 5 different phones in only a year...plus, cell phone technology is progressing way too fast! Think about it, 3 years ago the best Android phone was the G1

Yeah...I'm probably going to be getting a new phone in April-May next year haha...but the Sensation has been great thus far with a ton of dev support. It'll be a good phone for a long time.
good for you

Hahaha, ohh how I sort of miss those days! I thought my Htc Magic was the ****, it was literally **** now that I think about it. (I went into my android fanboy phase) for some reason.. thought it was the best, and better than Iphone (the responsiveness/speed was nothing in comparison to the iphone at that time)
After the magic, I got the nexus one, Incredible S - Atrix - Sensation
My magic came Jan 2010. Nexus in March, (The last 3 phones were the worst) I had the incredible S for a single month, wanted to try out the dual core (atrix) and traded that + $20 for sensation (best trade ever.) I think it's insane how some people can stick with 1 phone for 3 years. I just wish I never got into this world of phones (huge holes burning in my pocket) and correct me if I'm wrong but I believe in Canada, it's more expensive too

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.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
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...

The other night you fell and completely shattered your screen. It was a sad moment for you were the best phone I ever had. Now it is time to move on. Contact is up so decided to go pick up a G-Nex in a few days when it hits stores. Hope to see a few of you guys over there. If not, it has been fun!

Did I miss something about the NG coming to T-Mobile? Or did you change carriers?
I don't blame you for switching to that beast of a phone. I am hoping one day it hits the T-Mobile store and I some how have a cool 300 to throw down on a new contract.

Really? If I went to Verizon looking for the same plan features, I'd have to pay them 139.99 USD a month. I'm only paying T-Mobile 59.99 USD a month, that's less than half. This is why T-Mobile is awesome.

Agreed I pay $74.90 (after tax) unlimited everything (5gb data) if I went to big red I would pay $130 before tax for 450 mins unlimited data and text
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
With unlimited and 10 gigs of data I pay about $110 a month. I,myself, barley use 350 mins (mainly text). With the double data and 450 it comes out to be $120 for Verizon where I am at. I'll be happy to pay a few bucks more for their network and less dropped calls.

I got my One X today man this thing is nice.
I was an Inspire owner too and I remember you used to rule that forum. I am shocked that you left for iPhone! I moved onto the Galaxy Nexus when it came out and sold off the Inspire. I had an upgrade available now so there is no way I could pass this phone up... I love the phone but do miss the stock feeling of Android 4.0 so now all I really need is Root and CM9!
I remember you from the Inspire forums. I switched to the Note then the Nexus, now I can upgrade and I may get the One X. Good to see people attempting iPhone and regretting it, so I don't have to. The reason I'm maybe thinking of the One X is the camera, I'm going on holiday and don't want to be stuck taking GNex quality shots along the coast of Italy lol.

Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Just left my international GSII for this bad boy. (The GSII was the best phone ever btw). Freaking loving the screen and the sick build quality. It's so much better than Samsung's crap plastic
I too took a detour through some Sammys (The other phone at home is always iP - a conscious decision that works well ), Great to be back to HTC.
SGS2 was great for that generation, but LTE/batt life sucked and was a bit clunky (I have large hands), so wasted no time in getting my H1X.

The GPS is why I ditched my Inspire. I do a lot of things that use the GPS (mapping / running / cycling). That GPS would not stay locked and would turn a 5 mile run into a 15 mile run with all of the zig zags it would add to my course. Great for the Ego, but a pain in the A$$ otherwise.
To Answer your question the HOX is lightning fast to lock and stays locked pretty well from what I can tell. I have not used it with a gps app other than google maps yet but I am happy with what i have seen so far.
I'm getting a new phone in 2 months and I was wondering if there are any phones that are supposed to come out around that time even if they're just rumors. The only ones I can think of are the new Nexus phones all I want is the best phone available in 2 months. Thanks in advance.

HTC One X+, New king of smartphone.
there really isn't much point in getting the 'highest-specced' phone, because within the following month, another phone will come out that'll trump the one that was 'king' the previous month :/ just get the phone that suits your needs, whether it be aesthetically, feature-wise, or price
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.

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.

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.
