Have to upgrade.....suggestions?

As of right now the options are the Thunderbolt, Droid Charge or Revolution. I owned the Thunderbolt and was not very happy with it. A piece of plastic is wedged in between the glass from the display and the bottom of the phone that causes light to leak all around the bottom edge of the display around the buttons. This caused dust to get under the glass. The battery life was very bad and would last 12 hours if I was lucky. It was usually 6-8 hours of medium usage till it died. The current software the phone runs has a rebooting issue that causes the phone to reboot a lot. This is only the most recent update so if you buy one you might still be running the old software.

I currently own a Droid Charge and its very nice. It uses the new Samsung amoled+ displays and they are amazing. The camera is very good and the phone supports 1080p hdmi out mirroring. Battery life has not been a problem. It gets me through the day and possibly even 2. I got my Charge a few weeks before it went on sale and it has been the best and most reliable phone I have ever used.

I have not used the Revolution or seen it but I really don't why someone would want it over either of the other 2. It comes with bing apps preinstalled. You can download all the google stuff from the market but the defaults will be bing. The phone could have been nice but with the other 2 phones being on the market I just don't see it selling well.

The only other phone thats really known about is the Droid Bionic and its having some issues. It could make it out in a month or 2 or it could be later in the year. So if you are looking to get something soon those would be the 3 to look at.

 

I have a bolt and I like it. I haven't experienced all the problems that others have. The Charge is still the phone I'd recommend. I feel lucky to have a bolt that works, not everyone has been so lucky. Since you live in a 3G area you won't have to worry about the battery life on either phone.
