Here is the thing: I love this forum, and Android. I like, but don't love the X. I have been waiting for THE Verizon phone since January. I am trying to wait until the holidays to buy a new phone (Gingerbread, Front cams, dual core, etc). But, I really need a phone now... my current one is dead! So what is a guy to do????
I wanted to post my solution (mods, please move if needed):
Like I said... I like the X... just not enough to be committed to a 1 or 2 year contract with it. I HAVE TO get a new phone NOW. Here is what I did. I stop by Costco, buy a Samsung Vibrant for $250 out the door (comes with a bunch of extras)... and the best part... NO CONTRACT. I own the phone outright for that price. $250 is a sweet deal for this phone without contract. Now I do have to deal with Tmobile for about 4 or 5 months... but coverage in my town is good and the reps are cool. And down the line... in about 5 months, when the phone I really want pops for Verizon, I will simply sell the Vibrant (might break even... might make money), and get the next sweet android phone.
Again, no contract! Sweet and speedy android. AMAZING screen. Very cheap temporary solution.
Best wishes,
I will stay in touch with this forum b/c I am a verizon guy in the long term. Happy hunting Droid lovers.
