Hey everyone first time I've posted up here but I've lurked for awhile now. Similar to many other people I need to get a little bit of help with true phone performance and specs before I make my final decision before tiered data comes in.
I am currently using an LG Env Touch and have had no complaints about the phone at all, but it's time to upgrade.
In short, I have narrowed it down to the Droid Incredible 2 or the Droid 2 Global. Global is not necessary for me, just turns out that these are the 2 phones I like. I was trying to hold out for the Droid 3, but unlimited data is a must. Any info would help on a comparison of these phones.
The longer story:
I don't have any use for 4G or care to have to take out a loan for a new phone, so don't worry about those. I am looking for something around $150. I really like the full keyboard on the D2G, but would hate to think I'm spending the money on an already outdated phone.
After a lot of digging on the internet, I found that on most of the benchmarks the D2G can actually beat the DI2. When messing around with the DI2 I noticed the on-screen keyboard is actually very easy even with my fat fingers, and that is why I finally looked away from a slider. I was settled on the DI2 until today when I found some of the benchmarks, and now I am thinking more about the D2G again. The bad reviews of the battery life for the D2G have me worried as well, but I'm fine with charging once daily. Things like reception, battery life, and phone speed are what I am looking for.
Does anyone have extended use with both/either of these phones? I send about 5000 texts/mo and about 500 e-mails. I talk on my phone about an hour or so on a regular day. I would use it for moderate web surfing and have wifi almost everywhere I would use it.
Thanks everyone for your help!
