Nice to see that they couldn't wait a while longer. It seems the life of these new cell phones are getting shorter and shorter, my original Evo. Lasted longer than this

Until it's confirmed, this is just a rumor - just like the fact that the Droid 4 will be released December 8 - make that December 22 - make that ...

I see people all over talking about how the shelf life of the D3 has only been 6 months. If you are a glass half empty kind of person, then this is bad news. But I am a half full kind of guy. The way I see it is, all of us with a D3 might get upgraded when they run out of stock on said D3. How? Well what happens if/when your D3 malfunctions? You call Verizon, they have you master reset and it still acts up, a new refurbished phone is on it's way. But wait, I am sorry sir we are out of D3's. A replacement? D4. The D3 is the best phone out in my opinion. I will settle for nothing less. HAHA. This may all be a fantasy in my head but we will all see what happens. *Evil Laugh* muahahahahahaha

I suppose it is worth hoping, though it should be noted that the Droid R2D2 is still being sold certified pre-owned. VZW may still have a boatload of D3s around. Not only that - they have started that trade-in program.

Plus, I'd rather have my Droid 3 than a Droid 4. Or any other currently available phone.
