So, my upgrade is still a year out. I'm currently on an iPhone 4, but I'm thinking about going with an Android device for my next phone. I'm on VZW. My friend keeps telling me to get a Motorola X, but if that comes out May of this year, will there be something more "worth it" come March of next year? Will the Motorola X even get a VZW flavor? What do you guys think?
I don't think it's really possible to know what will be on the market a year or so from now. I'd just wait and see.

So I have a nexus right now and been yearning for something new for a fee months. I am on t mobile and eligible for a new phone. I actually want a dual core phone but I'm feeling so impatient. And if this phone is coming out now I doubt t mobile will release something better for atleast a few more months after that. So I would be able to get it for 150 on contract. I might be able to sell my nexus for like 250 so I wont be spending any money on that upgrade. Now, my other option is getting an atrix unlocked for full retail price of 500 and use it on t mobile. I don't want to leave to t mobile I like it for some reason. Even though I could get 15 percent off any carrier. But that aside what do you guys think. Because another option also is then sell the s 4g and buy the next good phone falt out and I might end up just paying a difference of 200 or something.
I would wait for galaxy s 2. My N1 can wait another 6 month. I am sure it will be by mid summers.

I can't wait that long damn. I'm desperate already.
Same here, I really want to get another phone on T-Mobile. Personally, I'm not a fan of Samsung, if I had to get one, I'd get the Nexus S (at least the software is managed by Google). Try flashing a custom ROM or something if you haven't already to breath some new life into your phone. I think I'd be worth the wait for something like the LG Optimus 2x/3D or the HTC Pyramid.
Yea I rooted my phone first week I got it. But its been a year already. I would like the optimus but didn't it come out in Europe like a month ago?
Samsung phones look like they were bought from the dollar-store ... just get an HTC/LG
The Galaxy S2 comes out in Europe in February/March. IMO the Atrix will be better, but meh. The LG Optimus 2X also looks very good.
i'm actually sort of in the same boat. i broke my n1 a month ago, and wasnt planning on getting anything new til the optimus or the pyramid.
but now i'm tired of using my HD2 with android, and wanting to get something immediately. cant decide between g2/myt4g or the 4gvibrant. i'm sort of leaning towards the vibrant but the lack of a trackpad or flash is the only thing that is making me hesitate.
i'm also definitely buying the pyramid whenever it comes out, this phone would essentially just be tiding me over till then.
I was in the same boat as well. I wanted to wait for the dual cores before buying a brand new phone so I decided to look for an HD2 to put Android on. It took about two weeks of Craigslist hunting before I got a good deal on one(190 with all the original access. including 16gb sd). I'm running a gingerbread rom on this thing and love it plus it will be pretty easy to get my money back for it in a couple months when the new phones start to hit.
Wait for next generation of nexus...

Dam I think I should wait a little more. The s4g is such a small update that I would be wasting my eligibility for something like it. And hd2? Naw I put android on it for my gf and I much rather have my nexie.

Aside from the HTC Incredible 2 and the Samsung Droid Charge coming out tomorrow, are there any other phones that will be released within the next week or 2? I'm asking because I have until the 8th of May to exchange my current Thunderbolt phone for something else through Best Buy Mobile. Was planning to pick between the 2 tomorrow but of anything else better comes out by the 8th i'd like to wait on it.
Not anything besides those two coming out before the 8th as far as I know. Except for that new Casio android phone.

I got my Infuse from Costco about 5 days ago as an upgrade....I went online to the att website and saw I was still elegible for an upgrade....My question is should i be a dirtbag and get another Infuse to donate to a dev or do you think they might catch me?

I would give it another week and see if it still says that. AT&T system takes forever to update.

The only phone on that list that I may consider is HTC Holiday. If I were you I'd hold on to the upgrade slot until iPhone 5 (or whatever it will be called) comes out then try to snag one on the first day, then do a quick flip on eBay. If played right you should have enough money to pay full price for one of those Androids and have a couple of Benjamins left over.
Sounds like a plan. i think i might just go ahead and do that.
but if i like the iPhone 5 i might keep it or sell it then go buy one via replacement price. all planned out lol

Thunderbolt lovers get ready for big brother. Last topic I start was during rumor now the pictures have been released and the release date still looking like October. I can only hope the thunderbolt great developers follow up their work to this upcoming great phone. I plan on turning my thunderbolt into a testing phone once I upgrade and maybe doing a little coding myself. Just thought I would keep everyone updated on the newest upcoming 4GLTE HTC phone.

I am sure if you wheel and deal with verizon they will give you a deal on the phone in the past I paid an extra 50 bucks on top of the 2 year upgrade price to get one a year early. That is how I got out of the incredible after only a year to get a thunderbolt. And i already have an upgrade price waiting for my next phone.

ill be picking this up come jan-febuary since the gs2 is not coming. ill have to pay full price but it will be worth it. also by then it will be seasoned, rooted and should have plenty of custom roms.
I want one by Jan or feb But I think I will find a used one on Craigslist for almost half price

U paid only $50 for an early upgrade? The guy charged me $250 for an early upgrade from dinc to TB, anyway I'm leaning towards getting this phone, does have some crazy specs and looks a little like the dinc, TB is great but seems like it can improved a little more giving that's it the first lte device.

The Vigor sounds nice but there's no way I'll pay full price for a smartphone. I'll be due for an upgrade November of next year, the TBolt should be fine till then.

I have been with verizon over 10 years and neither mom, dad, wife, or myself have ever purchased a phone for full price. And i have never kept a phone over a year. I just call in tell them I want to buy a phone and say I know my contract is not up but I wanted to know if i can get a loyality credit toward a new phone. And there you have it pay like $50 bucks to move contract up but you have to buy the phone right there and then. And some of the reps are lazy they won't do this for you just call back and you will find one that likes their job. My lastest upgrade came for free a few months after the thunderbolt came out I was having reboot issues on nonrooted phone took it into store can't be fixed, I was having dropped data for days at a time, needless to say didn't want a replacement thunderbolt so i got a free upgrade to new phone at 2 year price, then I rooted my phone and it fixed all my problems.

Good luck trying that now that 1 year upgrades are gone, and only 2 year contracts remain.

I don't pay full retail either but I have paid early upgrade fees. I don't think I'm going this route again. Technology moves too fast to play catch up all the time. The Nexus Prime may change my mind but we'll see.

I've always had two year contracts
Sent from my Gingeritis free phone, its now Cl3an
Yeah, and they allowed yearly upgrades. I am saying, they don't do that anymore.
Don't believe me? Go try it.
Yeah, they eliminated those shortly after they came out with the thunderbolt, sadly
I agree with the author of the article, it looks EXACTLY like the Incredible. Specs sound quite pleasing though.

what will the next google phone be? running ICS with a quad core processor. ( i am saying like the Galaxy Nexus) .
They use the Nexus line to release the next version of Android....
So the next "Nexus" will probably be running something like Android 5.0, and no one has any idea what it will look like or have for specs, and Google probably doesn't even know yet.... Its February, and they release in late Q4.
As marton says, you shouldn't expect real info until we get closer to Fall of this year (roughly). Given google's acquisition of motorola, I'm looking out for a Droid Nexus, though obviously nothing's for certain yet.

It won't be a "Droid" branded phone. Droid is a Verizon property.

Well the Galaxy Nexus is 3 months old (looking at the GSM version), so you know it'll be at least 8 months before the next one comes out...
*sigh* i feel like waiting for a google branded phone is a sure way to be forever updated .....but i would love another moto phone...my ATRIX is one of the most durable things iv ever used. Heck i dropped it off a ski lift today and it was fine ^.^ . ( landed in some leaves ) .
