Is there a legitimate contender for Prime coming to Verizon? My concern that VZW's Prime could be delayed (CTIA Unpacked cancellation, possible last minute ICS issues, no CDMA FCC approval, my track record waiting for phones and my general paranoia) has me wondering if not Prime, what else is in the near future?
Personally, I'm very skeptical of any HTC phone after my experience with Thunderbolt, which was my first and so far only smartphone. But so many people seem to love their DIncs. Same with folks still rocking OG Droids. It appears both manufacturers are coming out with new devices, both with VZW LTE, which is my number one "must have".
I was expecting Vigor to be very near release by now, but haven't heard much about it. I really don't know if there have been rumors about Spyder/Droid RAZR's release. If Prime's release get's pushed beyond November, I suppose I'd be most interested in Spyder/RAZR.
Those that followed Bionic's pre-release thread, may recall this post by YodaDroid on August 30th:
"I can say this, there are three phones that VZW is really excited about for the remainder of this year.
Prime isn't one of them.
And neither is the Vigor".
The other day I made a post on the Moto Spyder board and Yoda gave this statement:
"Not really at liberty to discuss much on this one.
Let's just say the powers that be are WELL aware of what the market dynamics and timing are for the other devices.
Also - THIS is the device VZW is the most excited about. *hint* *hint*"
Yoda was referring to Spyder/RAZR as the device VZW is "most excited about". Now Yoda doesn't appear to be a fan of Prime, based on things he has said. But he does appear to have knowledge of things going on at VZW and with Moto's devices. I also imagine VZW probably would be more jazzed about a device they can put bloat on rather than one without.
I'm curious what everyone else has to say about all this. Please keep the flaming to a minimum. I have thin skin. Also, I REALLY want Prime, I just have horrible luck and am probably dooming us all with my desire.
