Thanks for the link, I hadn't seen that one. Of course nothing we hadn't seen earlier regarding the Fighter but didn't matter to me. I was just happy to be reading something new.

Thanks again DILands,

My pleasure - that's what Google Alerts are for!!

I just loaded CM9 on my DX, and I'm content until I can hold a Fighter and/or S3 in hand.

Yeah, me too. My 20 months on my Droid X was up on March 15th of this year. It's still going strong and it's the best smartphone I've ever had. (only had three though) So, I can wait. Don't want to because I like new toys as much as the next guy but like mom used to say, "Good things come to those who wait."

So, I remain, Patiently/impatiently waiting for the Maxx HD/Droid Fighter,

Must be luck of the draw. I loved my Droid X in the beginning once I was able to manage the battery life (some updates probably helped) but now it's downright awful. It frequently reboots, is slow and I constantly get duplicate texts. VZW's response has been to send refurbished phone after refurbished phone. I think I'm on my 3rd or 4th now. I can't wait to make a switch.

Yup, I actually just got this link from a friend.

I saw it too. I hope it's real at least, as I'll be first in line to get the Galaxy Note, Journal or whatever the heck it's called.

Sorry to hear that Mike. My "X" has actually been the best smartphone I've ever experienced. Only had 3 though. Only thing I've noticed is I have gotten duplicate texts on ocassion, very infrequently however.

I'm hoping some official info drops soon regarding the Maxx HD/Fighter but as my "X" is humming along just fine, :driver: at this point I can continue to wait.

Best of luck to you,

Verizon just knocked $100 off the razr maxx, looks like they're making room for a new big dog phone....

Receiving multiple texts is a network issue, not a phone issue. You'll see people with the same problem on just about every phone.

When I contact support about it they claim not to see any duplicates going over the network.

Are you using Handcent by any chance? They released an update that messes with you settings. You will have to set Handcent as the default messaging app (a new setting added via the update under "Settings")

Yes, although for a while I tested it just using the stock message app and I would still get occasional duplicates. I found the setting you mentioned and I've set Handcent as default now. We'll see what happens. Although, when I say duplicate it's often much more than just two of the same text. I think the record has been maybe 12.

BTW, I suspect that it is some type of error in acknowledging a sent/received message. Think about it...one text message doesn't just go out and that's it. It goes out until Verizon gets a response back from your phone saying that it was received. If something goes wrong with that receipt message, you get it again. Similarly, some people have issues with sending multiple copies of a text. The phone will keep trying to send until it gets a received message from the network (or it times out). If there's a problem with the received message, it goes again...and again...and again.

Yeah, I pretty much figured that. I don't know why Verizon can't deal with the issue. I found an app that supposedly blocks duplicate texts that I may try out.

I've got a bad feeling that nothing'll hit before the shared data plans are in place. Sneeky, sneeky, Verizon.

gloriousnumber1 · May 28, 2012

I'm willing to go with the Incredible 4G as long as I've tried it out first. I don't see how it will be much longer, however I don't see a flagship phone like a SGSIII coming out before shared data though, sorry to say.

Possibly one of the next phone for Verizon.

Will Verizon be getting the new galaxy?

I don't doubt that Verizon did plan on one or more of the Incredible 4G, Droid Razr HD and Galaxy S3 being associated with the new data plans, and possibly the iPhone 5 release, but I'm not sure how much control over the release dates VZW has actually had in some cases. The ITC exclusion against HTC and the resulting customs delays after the original issue was resolved may have affected the Droid Incredible 4G release, which the drops to the existing device price suggests may have originally been planned to already happen. And the pending ITC exclusion against Motorola along with the MMI-Google merger and the apparent focus on China to get them to approve the merger may be affecting the Droid Fighter/Razr HD development and release.

bldgengineer · Jun 1, 2012

What IS on the horizon for verizon? I'm thinking possibly from here until the end of the year. I like my rezound but I'm dying to know if the htc journal(?) is really on its way. I just would like something slightly bigger with the functionality of the note... I think

dirkbonn · Jun 8, 2012

After the SGIII hopefully comes the Maxx HD. Here's some benchmark specs and a link to some just released pix.
