So I am due for my upgrade now with Verizon. I have been wanting a smartphone for a long time and that is still what I plan on getting. I gritted my teeth and endured the long wait to see what VZW would unveil at the CES in Vegas last weekend and those new 4g phones look nice...but I sure as heck thought they would launch within 3 weeks or so and not 'til MARCH?! WOW. Now this throws a wrench into the whole thing. No, there is no 4g LTE coverage from VZW where I live now, but could it be right around the corner? Part of me says wait and get a 4g phone (Not just because of LTE, but better specs too: drooling over Droid Bionic: dual-core processor, front-facing cam, ridiculous hi-res screen, etc..) and the other part of me says get a 3g phone now (as far as VZW's current 3g choices, I suppose the Droid X is decent...but the Bionic looks like it will blow it away), as LTE will take a while to be complete and also "to work out all the kinks", as with any new technology. Another wrench into my whole decision-making process is the iPhone. It's going to launch even sooner than the 4 new LTE phones VZW is releasing that's going to make me even antsier. I have done a lot of reading about iOS vs. Android in the past 3 weeks or so and I have to say I am leaning towards Android right now......seems to be much more open/limitless, you aren't getting fingered by Steve Jobs, and also it supports Flash. Also, I would like to get grandfathered in on VZW's unlimited data plan before they cap it, as I am sure they will at some point...this could potentially REALLY blow because what if they cap it before the Bionic launces? In one hell of a pickle here.............
What are your guys' thoughts? Someone has probably thought of something that I have not...
My upgrades always seem to come at the worst possible time.
