It is with a heavy heart that I must announce...my Blaze is gone. I fell asleep at a party & when I woke up, it had vanished. The douche probably ripped out the sim card, too, so no go there.
It's been a fantastic ride, and I wish all you guys the best. You ARE the best.
Phone shopping it is then.... :crying:
Love & peace.

I remember my first Android. HTC Thunderbolt. I was in Iraq (Camp Ramadi, to be specific) and my contract with Verizon was suspended during my deployment, so I bought it on launch day for full retail of $750 online. Prior to that, I had the Blackberry Tour, and prior to that a Motorola Windows CE phone. Since the Thunderbolt, I got a Wildfire S (never do THAT again), a Galaxy S II i777, Blaze 4G, and Galaxy S II i989. If my next device isn't a Nexus, it'll probably be a Sony or Motorola. As much as I love the Blaze and S II's, Samsung is starting to become a burden with their blobs and lets face it, their last couple flagships have been shoddy at best, at least construction-wise. And the big center physical buttons? What is this, 2010? Nobody wants that. At least, I don't.

I was only 4 months into my contract with ATT with my captivate. I had 3 Aria's and 1 captivate, all with problems i documented with ATT. I posted on ATT's Facebook page how disappointed i was with them and was immediately contacted and said they would be happy to upgrade me right away. Now have an Inspire. Good Luck!
Or complain to the BBB. Worked for some of us.

Eh, AT&T usually takes back the problematic device after swapping it to the newer one.
Pretty sure AT&T didnt let him keep 4 "disfuctional" smart phones.
I think he meant he went through 3arias and a captivate
So what's the point to this thread?
He was telling us how to upgrade before we were due one, without any extra cost. I think.

When I first got the captivate I was coming off a Motorola Razr... guess how long I had that phone. So needless to say I was a little taken back by this "new" device. Very impressed, until two months later the charge deaths kicked in... AH! Never had this problem with my trusty old Razr. Got a refurb, all is well, but me experience has left me feeling a little tainted. Not sure if I could really be satisfied with it now, so patiently waiting for June, July, and August, this guy is.

There will be many things that you need to keep an eye on with a smartphone that you didnt need to with the older razor. No Smartphone will be without issues. The old razor was just that a phone nothing more. The captivate is alot more then that.
Just wanted to post my experience and hear of others that are also making the move.
Now I may have a totally different view than most, but Overall, this phone was pretty awesome. First I had a G1 on T-Mobile. The excitement of learning Android and having the first phone was fun. I've been fortunate to be involved in every dessert update. Finding XDA, rooting, learning ADB, all the learning of all the other stuff was awesome. Then I jumped ship and got the Droid Eris. Now shortly after getting it, I regretted the hell out of my decision. I should have gotten the OG Droid. But XDA helped me love my phone. Cyanagen, and other ROMs were awesome, and the Eris forum and developers were funny and friendly. Then with 2 months left in my contract and waiting for the Droid 3 to come out, I won the Droid Charge in the droid landing contest. I enjoyed the 4g fastness and tried to keep things stock, but I keep lingering on XDA and finally gave in. I couldn't believe how easy it was to Root and flash this phone. With that, I spent less time in this forum and didn't really post much. I purchased the TBH app leaks and didn't really come by and participate. But I will say that this phone at first was great, but really is a disappointment. Great cause the SCREEN, the easiness of rooting and flashing, and that's about it. The 4G never works when you need it the most. Don't get me wrong. When it works, its amazing! But those times it freezes and then goes to 3g then goes back and freezes, etc...RAM was not enough to do all this phone is trying to do. And of course the battery, but that's universal.
Now, I've sold my charge and have a prepaid VZW card for $300 ready to pre-order the Galaxy Nexus. My contracts is up, and I still have a new every 2 credit. I look forward to the excitement and fun experienced with the G1. This is a whole new OS, and I'm sure I'll be spending a lot of time in the XDA forums. I'm in total love with ICS. I was not disappointed at all with ICS. The hardware of the Nexus, um maybe, but you gotta be real picky. I think this is a phone I can finally have for 2 years and be happy with the whole time. Quad core phones next year, then by 2013 maybe HD projection phones. But this phone should be able to stand up to most competition till then. Hope it gets all the updates, and quickly. Jellybean?
I've got my money ready for the 10th.
I really dig my Charge, but I've been waiting for a pure AOSP experience on Verizon for far too long.
You traded in your Charge for $300 with Verizon?

Isn't anybody ever happy with anything? Is nothing good enough? ICS and the first phone to carry it were just announced not even 24 hours ago and you already want Jellybean on the phone? Good grief.
I want it for the ICS and dual core. Not sure if I'll be able to afford it or not though. Can't really blame ya for wanting to jump since it is such a bada** phone in specs. I'm kinda so-so with my Charge.

LOL...I think my post got misread by yourself, or mistyped by me. What I was referring to is that I plan on keeping this phone for 2 years. I'm hoping that in the 2 years, what ever updates that happen to come out, the Nexus gets them quickly. Then I put jellybean with a "?" thinking maybe if in that time it would get it. Like I posted above, I'm in love with ICS and would be fine having it for 2 years. But we all know that google updates pretty quickly. I have no idea what they could add, cause ICS is great, but when it's(JB) announced, we're all gonna want it, and soon. Just like ICS, GB, FY, ECL, DN, and Cupcake. Ahh, Cupcake.
Man, I remember waiting for Cupcake and wanting it so bad. Touchscreen keyboard, widgets, and record/playback video.

Doing this too. I paid full price for my charge since my contract wasn't up, but it is now. So hopeing to use that 50%-60% that I'm supposed to get back to buy the Galaxy Nexus. Now watch them not carry it >.<
Kind of in the same boat. I'm just not sure I can deal with this phone for 2 years. I've looked around a bit to see what I can get for it plus the stuff I got for it. I'm more interested in the Droid Razr, but regardless I don't know if I can justify that kind of cost.

pretty sad to see a phone reach EOL in less than a year.
this makes the probability of an official ICS update even slimmer
The HTC Amaze, Sensation 4G, and Doubleshot have been EOL for a while. I guess we just have a set date.

The only real reason I have not is because of money. Those phones ain't cheap, and unless I have a real need for that phone (which I don't), its not really worth it to me to spend it. Also, my contract is up on father's day, so I will probably get a nice upgrade for cheap then. I can wait.

My upgrade is around the same time. If the GS III launch is anything like the GS II, it'll hit the states months after the rest of the world. I may buy a Galaxy Note and flash the radio that works with T-Mobile to tide me over until the GS III or something else comes along. Then I will have two awesome phones.

good for you. I am used to it... I was with Virgin Mobile before I came to T-mo and if you think T-mo is bad. *shudder* At least T-mo releases updates... In the history of VM there has been 1 update. 1 and only 1. To a outdated phone to an outdated os... So I personally can live with having a phone have 0 updates or go to it's end of life... There is always dev support.
Also people complaining of lack of dev support... There are lots of devs here compared to a lot of other phones...

So. My mom told me that she's gonna buy me a new phone before I go back go high school, which is 8/26. Now, I don't know if I should upgrade now or later. Obviously, I have T-Mobile. And I love this phone. But truth be told, its getting old. The reason why I ask, is well. Because there's just not so many options on T-Mobile right now.. 1 HTC, 2 Samsung, 2 Google/LG, 1 Nokia, and the new (to us) xperia z. So I turn to you guys, to see what you'd do. If now, what phone would you get? If later.. wait for which phone? iPhone 5C, iPhone 5S/6? New nexus phone? Cheers, guys.

First of all, if your mom is like mine I would upgrade now before she changes her mind lol. I gave that a lot of thought but honestly every phone is going to have its ups n downs so just pick one and enjoy it. If it were me, I would just go with an s4 and call it a day. Htcone is nice, but I think a plastic build comes with a lot of benefits.

I've never cared for sense. Or TouchWiz. Or any stock framework really. I always do my research and make sure there are a lot of options before I buy a phone. CyanogenMod support is a must. If CM supports it, basically everything does.
and SHAME ON YOU for even mentioning iPhone! lol jk, jk.
If it were me, I'd go with the Nexus 4 if your mom could spring it without breaking the bank (I know you mentioned LG/Google, so idk if that was an option or not). Otherwise, my choice would be the S4 or the Xperia. It'd be a tough call either way.

Might not be a bad idea if your mom is still willing to buy it for you and that's the type of phone you like. Personally I'm still waiting for a Nexus 5 announcement. I'm ready for an upgrade (T-Mobile actually let me out of my Blaze contract 6 months early so I could switch to the new unlimited plan) and, if I were choosing amongst the phones available now, I'd probably get the Nexus 4. Unless I had someone buying the phone for me, if cost were not an issue I'd go the S4 Google Play edition.
Well, my interior AMOLED is busted (happened a couple of days ago), it's repairable for $150 at a local phone repair shop but I decided to move on to the Nexus 4.
I really enjoyed having this phone and being a part of this community. I loved the Blaze. It was my first Android phone and my first smart phone (unless you count a 2007 Sidekick or 2nd Gen iPod Touch as a smart phone). I was really sad when I broke my blaze but this new Nexus 4 (16GB) seems pretty nice. It's pretty hard to get used to though. No more task manager, no more search button, no more settings button, and a load of new features to familiarize myself with.
I'll drop in every now and then though.
See you around guys.
