If that is the only new HTC phone available when I get my upgrade in December, I'm getting it. Unless they announce something else by that time.

ah crud i was going to get the inspire but now this is annouced. wonder when it be released or if id be better off getting the inspire now?

I just got this phone. Im not even looking at new phones.

Makes me glad I bought my inspire out of contract . Though I am partial to my inspire. That is going to be a beast of a phone.

Makes you wonder if it's gonna be rootable.

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 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 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.

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.

Nexus S 4G this week or wait for Prime?

Thing is idk if prime is coming to sprint rumors say november 3rd for verizon 23rd for att and idk for att and sprint,or if it does idk when, what should I do?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk

Wait for the Oct 11th Samsung + Google announcement and make a decision then. Hopefully more details will emerge there (carriers, release dates, etc) that can help you to make that decision instead of just guessing.

Today, Ill say Nexus S.
On 12 October, Ill say Nexus S.

Wait for prime, nexus s is almost a year old.

I really wish people would stop calling it Nexus Prime. It's not a Transformer, and we already had a Nexus One, and since 1, 3, and 7 are Prime Numbers, it sounds "cool and all" but one just knocks it off its feet. Wow, I need to not be so angry about this.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_thirteen_Transformers#Nexus_Prime

I know about the announcement but I dont have a phone right now, b/c my dad canceled the service with tmobile, b/c of att, and I was in vacation and he is lettting me go to sprint, problem is just because google is announcing it does not mean it will come to sprint soon, and im getting impatient lol plus maybe I should buy a nexus s 4g and return it within 30 days if the prime is out

Worth buying a nexus s on sprint?

hey guys my brother is looking to upgrade from an HTC hero on sprint. He's looking at the epic 4g and the nexus s. The nexus s is only $50 on amazonwireless, is it worth it over the $150 epic 4g? All the reviews I've read say its a good phone but has signal and reception issues, have those been fixed? This phone would not be rooted so it needs to work out of the box. Thanks in advance for any input.

Its a great phone. Very fast and good battery life. I dont have the 4G version but the nexus s is a great phone. You won't be disappointed if you get it.

only for 50$..Okay..take it..!

Or you could wait until the Galaxy Nexus comes to Sprint. I'm not a big fan of committing to a 2 year contract on a year old phone.

NS4G should be free w 2 yr contract on most sites. I would, however, wait until Galaxy Nexus comes out if I'm getting a 2 yr contract. Spoke to a Sprint rep few days ago and he stated that Galaxy Nexus should be out in June.

There's no way my bro would wait till June haha. His Hero is on its last legs and he's trying to spend as little as he can on a new phone. He would be getting an upgrade as an existing customer, I don't see anywhere that is free with 2 yr unless you're a new sprint customer.
Thanks for the input so far.

I've been fairly pleased with the NS4G, having come from the heroc. It will definitely feel like an upgrade. I would definitely recommend checking other sites though just to see if you can find it cheaper. I do think that the $50 is a fair price though.

Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

I've had the Hero, Evo 4G and now this and I cannot recommend the nexus s 4g. The signal and reception issue are bad. I can hold my phones side by side and tell the difference.

Pick up one used on Craigslist if you can; I paid $120 for mine. Lots of ICS love for this phone. I also have an Evo and the screen on the NS4G is smaller but beautiful.

well my brother got the galaxy s II epic 4g at a good price locally, thanks for all the input guys

If he's not going to root and he wants his phone to eventually be updated to Android 4.0 then I'd say Nexus S. I highly doubt the Epic 4G is going to be updated. The NS4G hasn't been yet but it will be.

Nexus S is great
Sent from my Nexus S

The nexus s is a really nice phone. I've had it for a few months and I will never move away from the nexus experience from now on.
But I would not get it on a 2 year contract as its already 14 months old. I would wait and get a galaxy nexus if you can afford it.
But if your low on funds and $50 is all you can spare I very much doubt you would be disappointed with it

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.

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.
