Here's a question for you all. Even if the specs are incredible on one of these new phones would you still buy it if it didn't have a dev community? (Root mainly).

Personally I would wait to see which phone gets Dev attention.

if the S3 came to metro in all its glory i'd get it if it had no dev community at all.

this coming from someone who hasnt utilized any of the stuff developed for the connect besides root access. most of the stuff made for it has been reviewed to be buggy and since the connect is the only smartphone i have i cant risk buggering it trying out new ROMs.

i like the points that are being brought up and yes i agree metro dont wanna be giving out free updates they need your hunger to buy new phones off them if they were to upgrade the esteem to ics alot of users might end up keeping their esteem and thats bad business for them since they wont be making any money.... so in conclusion they keep selling phones and never give updates that means we keep buying them.

Connect and esteem gonna be obsolete after these ice cream sandwich devices come out. Maybe not the esteem since it had more time to sell.

esteem vs. connect?

LOL, no, not gonna do esteem vs. connect. People like whatever phone they like, for whatever reason. But with CM9 being done for the Esteem, it may not be so obsolete afterall.
