Vote for the Incredible here as well

Do they still actually do this? I was under the impression that VZW changed their policy on that, and dropped the three strike rule?

You should ask them if you can get another Eris and save your upgrade for later.

Incredible looks awsome but so do
All the other android based phones. Help me xda

i would second the vote on incredible. the droid is old, the incredible is newer and would be an actual upgrade worth getting.

The question you have to ask yourself is do you want to root. You can root the Eris now, but you might not ever be able to root the Incredible.

Thats a good question. I think it will be rootable just like all the other android based phones

The Devour sucks in my opinion. Unless you're into that whole social networking thing A LOT. My vote goes to the incredible. Or you could get another Eris and wait until the next best Android phone comes out (which probably won't be long) with Froyo and maybe a better processor or something. That's what I'm doing. But if you must, then the Incredible.

The Incredible. No Doubt. The Speed of it is Insane. It has the 1 Ghz Snapdragon Processor. DO a search on reviews of it. You will find nothing but great things. I am so Disappointed I didn't wait 3 Mos and get the Incredible instead of the Eris. I do like the Eris. But the Incredible, I Love. It is like choosing between a Porsche and a Ferrari. Sure a Porsche is great but a Ferrari is a FERRARI.

Haha yeah idk if i should wait 1ghz is pretty sweet

I would rather have a locked down incredible then a rooted eris.
besides it only took what, 3-4 months before the eris was rooted? cant be that long for the incredible.

i gotta say my vote goes to the incredible as well.. dont get me wrong i still love my eris and root on it is awesome..i have had all 3 of them incredible(current) droid(sold lol) and eris (current backup phone, testing device) u wont be dissappointed.. try one out for 30 days..u can always return it..vzw store hates me when i go in hahaha good luck with ur decision!______________________
Current:

The rumored Motorola Shadow. Has a better gpu than the Incredible(so I read), which means better video support, and I think even better flash 10.1 support, on a 4.1in screen. The cpu is the like a faster/newer version of what you see on the current Droid, and GPU is suppose to be now 80% or so faster than the Droid from video I saw of the processors running on Android 2.1 on a reference device. The screen is suppose to be LCD so its not as vibrant as the Incredible, but it is better to use in direct sunlight.

That's what I'm getting for my NE2, provided it is superior to the Incredible. If it's not, I'll be switching to Sprint for the EVO and the better reception where I live.
I'll still be trying to squeeze a free replacement out of Verizon, which reminds me I better call them before they close

wellllllll... maybe.
Motorola also owns the trademark for "Droid Ultra" (along other things) and moto has 2 model numbers in verizon's systems. one just letters/numbers and another for "DRU-###" ( where "#" means numbers, I didnt get a chance to write them down when I saw it).
I belive this manual is for the droid ultra, or droid 2 or whatever you want to call it, but not the shadow.
all concept images of the shadow so far have been white, with a loop on the bottom (presumably for a wrist strap, most likely an external antennae), where as concepts for the ultra have looked like the phone in this manual.
granted, I'd take even my own words with a grain of salt. even reliable tipsters have been wrong before, but to me, this isnt a shadow, it's the ultra. unless, as rumors have it, the shadow is the new "nexus 2" where the ultra will take on the N2's old moniker.

Do you still love your Nexus S?

Take the poll!
So do you? Is it just okay now? Is it awful? Share your experience and thoughts on the NS!

Yeeesssss, loft in its beauty. Feel it in your pocket.MMMMMMMMM. So good.

I bought mine on launch, and I still love. My only regret the is potential loss of tmobile, but the FCC seems to be leaning against that.

I really like it a lot. I think it's still the phone I'd choose today if I was in the market again; I've really appreciated the stock experience, especially post-2.3.3 patch, which fixed pretty much all my gripes with it.

I love it, but the only thing that I can think of to change is making the speaker audible when laid on it's back. I had a few missed calls because of this.

I love it. Started off a little bit slow, but things are starting to catch up... slowly.
I never get sick of the phone's looks. And getting the Case-Mate Pop Case made me even love it more.
Edit: Slow as in development.

I love it to death. The only way I would think of giving it up is if the deal goes through. Having a 3g phone with no 3g is lame.

Same with this guy.

my brother has one. ihave iphone 4. last week i bought one. used but almost brand new. not a single cratch with no visible gtid pattern on the matrix pentile screen. it was stunning.
i figured what the hell, i will try it for few days. if i like it, i will keep it and sell my iphone 4. if not i will return it to the store " store owner is my close friend "
so i played with it. i think its awesome. but i gave it to my brother since it was in better shape than my brothers and he sold his phone.
i use skype video calls almost daily. and i play alot of games. i figured i can live without the skype but it was a no go.
its funny how a small things can screw up big things.
all in all i think its one of the best phones in the market. and i recommend this phone over any andriod phone available right now.
unless optimus 2x will have a cracked bootloader, then i dont think any phone coming soon will top the nexus .
right now i am waiting for the xperia play. for the same reason, i play games alo :/

Interesting responses. I for one, do love mine. I don't think I could ask for more except 3g.

I don't see any reason not to like the Nexus S currently...the only drawback is lack of dual core and 4G. But no biggie to me...I can live with 3G speeds and this phone is super fast with custom rom's, kernels even without dual core.

Then you'll complain about Samsung's delay on Android X.X. Just stay on the Nexus line and wait for the 3rd Nexus Phone.

Got mine as soon as Bestbuy opened on launch day, rooted it later that day as soon as Koush posted directions. Still love the phone and wouldn't trade it for any other phone available now or that has been announced/rumored.

I LOVE IT!
best phone I ever had in 10 ten years. none of them made me love it the way NS made me.

Considering Getting This

I'm sure you've had several threads on this, but should I return my Galaxy S 4G for the G2x? Is that big a boost in performance? I love stock Android, hate Touchwiz, but the Galaxy S has an amazing screen. Also, does the app Wiimote Controller work with the G2x?

Huge boost in performance. The G2x works like "butter" as many have been saying. G2x's screen is amazing, some are saying it's one of the best on the market right now and even outshines some of Samsung's screens. Wiimote does not work YET due to LG adding in their own bluetooth stacks into the phone instead of the more common ones, however it's generally believed that a ROM (Probably Cyanogen) or a software mod will fix the issue. Hope this helps!

I exchanged my Galaxy S. for the T-Mobile G2X. Yes, the screen is a big change, the Galaxy has a much better screen. But after about 10 days, I've forgotten the difference and was really enjoying the speed increase of the G2X. If you think you can get over the change in the screen, go for it, if you don't, you better stick with the the galaxy S or wait for the galaxy S II coming out soon.

Optimus 3D Cube - a slightly slimmer sequel

Well the Optimus 3D sequel is finally official and it will be called Optimus 3D Cube. If you ask me specs aren't too impresive. A dual core 1.2 GHz, 16GB of inbuilt memory, 9.6mm thick, Dual 5mpx camera, 4.3" screen, Android 2.3 and that's all that's known for now. Sounds more like a mainstream device than a high-end phone. No word on the amount of RAM yet.
EDIT: Here it will be called Optimus 3D Max. And there's more info about the phone too. Screen resolution is 480x800, TI OMAP4430 CPU, 1GB of RAM etc. Look here http://www.phonearena.com/news/LG-O...cial-glasses-free-3D-just-got-slimmer_id27124

No way I would ever make this same mistake twice and go for LG again. Maybe this phone receives calls !
Be careful guys.

Wow really why release a new device that looks pretty much exactly the same! And then say its gonna have 2.3 on it!! WTF, how about take care of your customers that you already have and update our Thrill 4G. I honestly will never buy a LG product again. This is complete BS... the Optimus 3D got gingerbread and the Rogers Thrill 4G got gingerbread so where the F is AT&T gingerbread?!
Sent from my LG-P925g using xda premium

I was seriously thinking in selling my O3D and getting this one (yeah, LG again!?!?) IF AND ONLY IF:
1-Ice Cream Sandwich from the box,
2-1GB RAM
3-Bigger resolution screen
4-1700mA Battery or more
Seems RAM is 1GB, but 800x600, 1500mA and they put Gingerbread again ("but we promise you ICS ASAP bla bla bla")...
So, good job LG: I stay with my Optimus (and maybe I'll move to Samsung if Galaxy S3 has 3D, as rumoured).
And for the record:
DEAR LG MORONS: NOBODY CARES IF THIS NEW CRAP IS 1 nanometer slimmer and 1g lighter than O3D. THE PROBLEMS OF O3D ARE NOT WEIGHT OR THINNESS, BUT SOFTWARE AND BASEBAND. ARE YOU LISTENING, LG MORONS?
In terms of software, Android 2.3 Gingerbread is what comes out of the box, but an Ice Cream Sandwich update will be released shortly after the smartphone's launch.

But hey.
that MIGHT be very good news for us IF this NEW-old Optimus 3D gets ICS update fast (yes I know fast - lol). It its like 90% compatible with our O3D in the terms of Hardware, than the port of ICS with working 3D may be possible/easier or whatever. These phones are like 99% the same.

Hmmm...you don't know that,there's no SIM card in it

what is their point to release a new phone with same look similar spec and even software?? LG should check out the hardware like Samsung and software UI like HTC, and also listen to customers complaint. I think that is why the price of O3D dropping ridiculously. I will not go with LG any more if they not change.

LG Escape with a faster CPU than advertised...

EDIT: Well now I'm finding sites that say 1.5ghz is what it's supposed to have. I've even watched youtube videos with reviews saying it has a 1.2ghz... sheesh... oh well glad it has a 1.5...
I had an LG Thrill that just went out on me. I decided to turn in the insurance and get a new one. They actually replaced the phone with a LG Escape. After looking around for a while all the sites I went to showed the Escape as having a dual-core 1.2ghz processor. Which was nice to know.

But after rooting the phone and looking in many different benchmark and CPU apps I noticed that my phone had a dual-core 1.5ghz processor in it.

What I am wondering is, anyone else out there notice this on their phone? Did I just get lucky or has LG changed it's specs??? I dunno if you have an LG Escape please post here and let me know.

Don't really have a direct answer for you, but I will say it is possible. The Samsung Captivate Glide was being marketed as a 1 Ghz Dual Core but was actually 1.2 Ghz Dual Core.
Another thing is it appears there's no LED Flash but LG's site claims it has it. So yay or nay on the flash?
Also, I am looking into getting one. I love the look of the form factor and build quality. Do you reccomend it?
Edit: Now that I think about it, they did the same thing with the Pantech Burst. It was marketed as 1.2 Ghz Dual Core but was 1.5 Ghz Dual Core. I sense a pattern. lol
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app

Well there is no flash on the camera which I don't like and it doesn't take the best of pictures but, it isn't the worst either imo. The phone itself is pretty snappy, I experience no lag and calls sound great. It has ICS 4.0.4 on it which also helps. There isn't a community for it right now and doesn't seem to be very popular so if you are into custom recoveries and roms it's not possible as of yet.
The backplate is VERY flimsy, you have to be careful when removing it as it is extremely thin.
In a nutshell,
Pros:
Running ICS
Nice design, and lightweight
Decent specs for the price
Call quality is great
Has 4G LTE, NFC
Good Battery
Cons:
No Flash
Mediocre Camera
No ROMS or custom recovery
No HDMI out
No Auto brightness
Flimsy Backplate
Can't complain too much about the phone for how much it costs it is a good deal.

I suppose I can live without flash (though its odd they didnt make it with flash) and the lower quality camera. Not a big picture guy. But no hdmi and no custom roms/recoveries does suck.
It just takes some time. I see it has somewhat of a root method. I say thats enough to deserve its own section. But a locked bootloader doesn't leave much room for development.
I'm an Atrix HD user and thats pretty much where we're at. Root, Locked Bootloader, Stand Still. The one good thing is we know Android 4.1 is on the way officially. If LG announced Jellybean for the Escape I'd jump ship.
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app

Yeah not really sure if JB will be released for this phone or not. They left out the flash and hdmi and all that in order to give the phone the specs it has at a low price. They cut corners here and there to give better performance. Personally I would have paid the extra 5 bucks for a flash haha
You are right, as of now all we have is the v10f KDZ and download mode in case of semi brick and a generic root method that isn't confirmed to work on the updated v10f firmware.
Another point... The LG ICS isn't so bad, they didn't mess with too much like they did in Froyo and GB and it is nice and quick. So honestly, stock ROM is fine for me if nothing comes along and with root I can remove bloat, root explorer, titanium backup etc, I would say I am pacified, not happy
EDIT: OK v10f is root able just got confirmation if you go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31963526 and download wkparks root script v1.2 it will work to root.

Yeah. I don't think adding a flash would have cost em too much more. Definitely wouldn't have changed where it stands as a "mid range" smartphone.
And really? Thats great. I didnt know there was a way to fix a soft brick yet. Its hard to find the info without a designated section. Xda needs to come on with that. lol
And yeah. I agree. The new LG Optimus UI looks alot more polished than in older android builds. I was skeptical of it on the Escape at first. I love that on the Optimus G you can have 5 icons in the dock, change the clock on the lock screen, and change the transition effect on the home screens. Most reviewers didn't touch that subject but I finally found one that did and that made my decision easy.
So, with that said, I look to make the jump to the LG Escape within the week. And hopefully the one I get will be 1.5 Ghz Dual Core.
Btw, you mentioned you can remove bloat? I assume you freeze it rather than uninstall. Right? I hear the Escape and Optimus G have a new thing called LG Lockout where they lock you out of the phone if a file is missing such as uninstalling.

I haven't really removed much of anything yet, I will see what's up and post a list of things you can safely delete in the thread I'm making here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33752762
I post anything I find there and would encourage you and everyone else with the Escape to do the same until we get a dedicated forum.

Alright man. I appreciate all the info and hopefully more people will get passed the lack of flash and pick one up so this phone can really take off.
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app

I believe it, I have this phone and it got a 1494 on geekbench which is higher than the SGS3 gets. I just wish there was some way to root this phone so I could remove the AT&T bloatware and get some nice tools. The camera is horrendous, just really reallly bad. I almost dont use it even though I love instagram. Hey I got it for free, it has LTE, its reasonably light, it has a replaceable battery, but only 4gb of space. It does have SD card slot, which is nice but I havent been able to install any apps to it even though I changed the default install location to 2 using adb tools, it errors out when I try to install any new apps after that.

I get the same information showing 1.5 ghz when I check my CPU with that app.
