Whats everyone switching to after Incredible?

[answerman]

Moto Razr is so old news. Startac for me, and nothing else will ever beat the shortcut buttons on the left side of the Startac.... and YOU KNOW what I'm talking about if you ever used this phone.

I still have two Moto MicroTac 650's. Wanna make me an offer?

 

[hookem]

whats this love for the optical joystick that i have been seeing? i hardly use the thing.

Honestly, before 2.2 I didn't as much either. It is so much smoother now, and I use it so often, that when I use a device without it, it is badly missed. I didn't even realize how much I use it until I tried to edit text on my iPod Touch.

I also use it to wake the phone (much better that waking with the power button) and to click on small links in the browser.

I just got my Incredible in June. I have to wait a year and a half before I'm eligible and by then most of these phones (HTC Desire) will be 'old' by then.

 

[brettlewis]

I'm waiting for LTE and for my contract to end.

Although I didn't get my phone till June 2010 I am eligible for an upgrade on 3/26/11.

I'm in no rush to get rid of this phone. its a great device. I'll get a new LTE phone when available and would also like a keyboard like the Merge.

 

[Member138406]

This is one of the first phones in a long while I have been 99% happy with. Will probably wait till LTE phones come out to upgrade.

Do you have to be rooted to wake the phone with the optical joystick?

WidgetLocker does it and you don't need to be rooted to use it. The app also does a ton of other amazing things to your lock screen.

 

[imtoomuch]

I see no reason why you would already need to upgrade your Incredible! It is still one of the top phones.

 

[BetaMan]

I'm thinking about this if the specs turn out to be good, the 8mp camera leads me to believe they shall..

New HTC Verizon Phone Looks Impressive, but What is it? - Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog

Looks pretty cool. Would love to see it up close!

 

[My2k1rS]

Im not understanding the desire to "upgrade" either...faster processors? INC can be overclocked to 1.28, so does the 1.3 matter? better camera?..good luck on that, even a bad photo on the INC can be fixed by a third grader in 5 minutes with basic photo editing, and PicSay lets you do it right on the phone. Call quality? Ive heard some issues, but mine seems to do just fine (certainly better than my BB Storm *shudder*). Storage size? With support for SDHC up to 32gb, I dont see that happening (I run a 16gb class 6 and couldn't be happier) The o-n-l-y thing I can see myself wanting is a front facing camera to intergrate with Skype and (hopefully) the home video-phone service I have as well.

 

[Blacklight82]

Waiting for the Incredible 3.

 

[serpentine009]

I am not making a move until LTE is deployed and HTC has something extremely comparable to the INC that has been vetted thru a couple of releases. I don't want something wider. I like it the way it is.

Big xbox nerd. So depending on how my life is going in June of next year I may go WP7. Big "may" btw as I feel some stuff is still missing. I hear on test units are getting poor battery life and they dont even allow true multitasking. (big no-no)

 

[Mac_Leod]

I'm not looking to upgrade any time soon, either. This is my first smartphone, excluding an aborted run with the BB Storm when they first came out. So far I'm enjoying it immensely, and there's nothing out there I can see myself switching to. I'll just wait until my two years are up and see what's available then.

The window's mobile/CE development line is dying a slow death. Fundamentally, it's development cycle is just too long. Even when Google goes to year or so between major releases, there will be 3 android releases for every windows release. Even iOS will develop faster than winMo. As business users either switch over to webOS, Symbian or Android, winMo will become less and less relevant.

And just remember that Windows has a horrendous record for updating phones.

I got my Incredible in August, and due to deployment suspension, my NE2 won't be available until April or May of 2012. I honestly think that whatever phone I eventually replace the Incredible with doesn't exist yet. I have some serious requirements for my "next" phone.

-Form factor similar to the Incredible (or iPhone). No larger then 4" screen, or smaller than 3.5". Keyboard is ok so long as it doesn't add too much bulk, but isn't too flimsy (so likely no kb).

-No locked boot-loader or similar anti-rooting crap.

-Internal memory better not be as screwed up as the Incredible's. That 8GB is semi-useless, and the true internal isn't enough for apps. That 8GB should either merge with the internal

-to allow for realistic app storage, or merge with the SD card.

You guys are thinking too new;

I want my next phone to have vanilla Android.

As a user who has had 3 WM devices before my Incredible I am well aware of the slowness of WM of old. I only hold on to phones for a year. So when the time comes if they even have a phone on verizons network, and if it receives complementary reviews such as the "editors choice" award as the Incredible has received. But all of this is awhile from now.

Hopefully an LTE device with dual-core processors and a 4" + screen and front-facing camera.

 

[andreezy]

If I could click thanks more than once I would have for this comment!

I wouldn't mind having a 7 inch htc tablet phone on LTE... I guess 4+ inch will have to do... (that's *not* what she said! HAR HAR)
