just saw this topic in this thread after I started another one, but legally, if you are grandfathered, how can being "grandfathered" expire? answer is, it can't.

Upgrading from the Inc2
- Thread starter victek
- Start date
I guess this would be a legal question. If Verizon was continuing to allow unlimited data for some users, but kicking out others who had previously been "grandfathered" in, then perhaps a case could be made. However Verizon no longer offers anyone unlimited data (AFAICT). In any case good luck trying to press this with Verizon

I believe that you're grandfathered in as far as 3g is concerned. My understanding is that if you switch to 4g, you no longer have unlimited data.
That's why I'm especially p*ssed off that Verizon is not releasing ICS for this phone; they're banking on the belief that people will not want a phone that's 2 versions behind the latest OS, as the Inc2 is now, and will upgrade to a 4g phone, thereby losing their unlimited data plan.

You stay grandfathered if you buy the 4G phone at full retail. I think if you read the fine print your contract says that Verizon can change the terms at any time.

Once your contract expires, they have no obligation to provide you with ANY service. They allow you to keep unlimited as long as you don't sign a new contract... doesn't matter if it's a 4g or 3g phone. The key is the contract, new contracts can only be signed using their new shared plans.

Well I finally upgraded from my trusty incredible 2!
I jumped ship to At&t and got a grey htc one x today.
Pity the one plus is about to be released...
Oh well, I didn't feel like shelling out the extra cash, it's the end of the first day having it and I'm generally satisfied.
This phone is like a hot knife through butter...
;D

It's been fun, my friend. Maybe we'll cross paths again someday. Hope you enjoy your hot life through butter!
I'm a little jealous.

For those of us staying with Verizon and hoping for a worthy upgrade from HTC there is a recurring rumor for a phone being called the HTC Droid DNA. The alleged specs are rather awesome:
5" screen
1080p resolution
1.5 ghz quad core
We might see it released around Thanksgiving. This could be the phone for me
, but I'll keep my head screwed on until the first wave of reviews.More about it here:

It was so fun to call it the Droid Incredible X. Droid Non-Alcoholic just doesn't have the same ring.

It is alternately referred to as DLX (deluxe?). Another leak here:

Another leaked picture:

This is the first phone I've felt some genuine excitement about since I began looking for an upgrade. I hope they announce it soon so we have an official release date and price (hopefully not more than $200 subsidized).

The DNA looks definite now. See here:

For those of us waiting for a worthy upgrade to the Dinc2 from HTC this may be it. As long as battery life is reasonable and there are no show stopping bugs I'll be in line for it.
