It all depends on Verizon's Android offerings. I'm up for a new phone in October and I know my wife is ready for a new phone, as am I, so it all depends.

My hardware renewal is coming up at the end of November, and I've been informed by an inside source that Telus is getting the Hero. So I'll be getting that, unless they also get the Samsung i7500.

I was a late adopter of the Vogue. Grabbed it from Verizon as it was being discontinued in order to have a smartphone that didn't require a data plan. I have more than 1.5 years until I'm up for renewal.

I have had the Vogue for 2 years now, and my contract was up a few weeks ago... I am just waiting for either the Hero to be at Sprint or AT&T to have an Android phone...
Biding my time...

You won't have long for either if the leaks are to be believed.

I was an early adopter for the Vogue on Alltel. Bought the first one in our area. I've been up for an upgrade, but since we're a part of Verizon, I'm waiting to see what they have in Android offerings this winter. Supposedly, Motorola is releasing one on Verizon.

hero
I wanted the touch pro2.
UNTIL,
I started using the hero OS on my vogue!
OMG! HERO ALL THE WAY! Thank you sprint!

Same here, atx. Unfortunately I'm not on Sprint but hopefully with HTC pushing more and more Android phones one is bound to hit Verizon this year.

I'm getting a Sprint TP2, TD2, or TG01, which ever is best and is announced before the end of the year. Or switching to Verizon and getting the Omnia II (but their prices suck so much compared to Sprint's).

I'm getting the HTC Hero on Sprint (if it's not too slow)

Am kinda sure that the hero and the touchpro2 are coming out this year.. which is good for the people that like them :B
I want the diamond2 so bad.. but not even 1 leak picture that can give me hope

Reading some of the posts about the Hero being slow and laggy with the Touchflo interface, I'm hesitant to get one. My contract is up in December with Sprint. I'm pretty sure that any Sprint Android phone will not work with my SERO plan and don't think I want to get the everything plan. I don't come close to my 500 minutes I currently have, just lots of text and data, so I don't want to pay the $100 a month or the overpriced lesser plans.
Might just stick with my vogue running android for a while as long as it keeps getting updates.

Speaking of the Sprint hero, I may be switching from Verizon to Sprint because of the huge difference in price would allow me to have data access on my phone. Having Android on my Vogue has really made me want the Hero or another Android phone, but the Pre seems really appealing too.

I'm only a year into my contract but I'm eligible for a primary phone upgrade under my family plan. When the prices dropped on current verizon smartphones I almost pulled the trigger on a touch pro but with the Omnia II and htc touch pro 2 coming out soon I might wait. The Omnia II has the specs I'm looking for and would be a nice upgrade from my touch. I wonder how much the omnia II (or touch 2) would cost on verizon. How much did the omnia I cost when it first came out?

I love my Vogue... I'd be content on it forever most likely. But I do yearn for something fancy like Android, so I may get the Hero
As for it being laggy, I bet software tweaks will fix that. Hopefully you can disable the Touchflo interface, I never liked those showy themes anyways.

I'm hoping for the Motorola Calgary on Verizon before the end of the year, but I'm not 100% sold on it. Need more specs, info about the build. I worry about how horribly Verizon will mangle Android, but then I know someone will unlock it at some point and I'll be able to put whatever I want on there.

Anyone else looking forward to their next phone?

If so, which phone do you want?
I have had many PDA phones from HTC. I've probably had the Touch the longest out of all of them. I had the Diamond for a couple of months but returned it as the battery lasted only a fraction of the time that my touch did with the same settings. I hear the GSM version didn't have as much of a battery issue as the CDMA version. I currently am running build 6.5 23081 on my Touch and it is the best OS and build so far I've had on it but the phone is missing so many features I would like. While the Touch has served me very well, I'm looking forward to my next model.
I'm on Sprint so my choices are limited but I'm hoping they are considering the HD2 as they have a poll on their web site to find out if people would like it - http://community.sprint.com/baw/poll.jspa?poll=1040
I want the faster processor
I want the bigger screen
I want the flash (as I use vjcandela and other programs to use the phone as a flashlight)
I want the higher resolution
I want the new touch screen
I want the HD2

im buying a blackberry or htc hero this week. im done with winmo.

Well it's rumored that the HTC Dragon is coming to Verizon. I'm going to hold out on getting anything else. The dragon is the android version of the hd2. So i'll be looking at a 1GZ Snapdragon powered Android 2.0 phone with sense ui. I hope it doesn't melt my hands.

yeah but i wonder what the price tag will be? better start saving now zen.

I can't imagine the phone NOT being subsidized in part by the carrier, you know... like everything else they've ever put out - it'll just be close to half a million when it first comes out like it always is.
But yes, I like the touch a lot but I really miss the hardware keyboard on my MotoQ, I am now not only against all screen keyboards, but will never buy another phone that doesn't have a hardware keyboard now.

HA did you say YOUR choices are limited? I'm with Bell Mobility. MY CHOICES ARE MUCH MORE LIMITED

well i can say goodbye to winmo in a few days. i just got a great deal on 2 new blackberry curves from sprint for only $50, so i got one phone for free!

come on windows mobile is great. i only have to hard reset every week or so.

I've had my WinMo HTC Touch with Sprint for over two years and I had to hard reset all of like twice....and one of those times was just to install WinMo 6.1. So yeah, maybe you guys are just doing something wrong, lol.
As far as my next phone, I am getting that HTC Touch Pro 2!! It look so amazing and I am dying to get my hands on it. HOWEVER, I just might change my mind because these new 1GHz phones seem so freakin' beastly. I gotta see when they'll be out and if it'll be worth the wait. Also I gotta see if they have all the features I want.

The Verizon Eris or Droid doesnt look so bad......

Canada wont get the Motorola droid for months and when we do it will be a 3 year contract with a $500 activation fee and a minimum $60 monthly plan with 500mb transfer and NOT unlimited texting just like the Palm Pre. Epic failure.

It's Droid for the Wifey and I at the end of the Week!!!!

Looks like the Bell is getting the Omnia II - the specs look very nice but its winmo. Hopefully the Droid or Sony xperia make it to Canada...

Same here, except my wife wants an LG EnV Touch. Her loss I'll be ordering mine by phone though, have other things to take care of with VZW.

We should be able to transfer the Driod over the Sprint right? How much were they on preorder from BestBuy?

$50.00 to pre-order/hold the Handset, $149.99 due at the time of pickup (price with new 2 year contract is $299, but Best Buy gives you the $100 rebate instantly unlike Verizon retail locations)

Make sure you order before 11.15.09, because after that date Verizon is increasing their ETFs from $175.00 to $350.00... source: CNET
... and I can't believe your wife doesn't want a Droid.... my wife is STOKED to get her hands on it after having a Vogue-Droid for these past many months...

Bell getting Samsung Galaxy?

I went into the local Bell retail store, looking at phones. Talked to the guy about the HTC Touch Diamond. He looks at me weird, asks "You like Windows Mobile??". I grin back, and say, "No, I like Android, but that's the closest I can get with you guys." I pull out my vogue and show him plemen's themed Donut build. At this point he tells me to hold on to my $200 upgrade credit a bit longer... as they will have the Samsung Galaxy within a month! Apparently the Samsung rep had been in the day before to talk 'em up about the Galaxy and Android, how awesome it's gonna be... yadda yadda. Needless to say, I'm holding onto that upgrade credit of mine for a *bit* longer

The galaxy is very un-exciting.
Better to get an unlocked Hero from Telus and put it on Bell.

$100 - $50 off HD2 directly from T-Mobile

Hey all, I just ordered my HD2 from T-Mobile, and I found this promo code that onle works once. If you want the online pricing for online T-Mobile orders, or orders over the phone use this code:
HD2FORU
I can confirm it works.
Enjoy! Please post a success or failure post when you use it, if it doesn't work online try it over the phone!
Also, use this code fast, I have no idea if it expires soon. I saw it on a forum, a guy said he got this in the mail.

Man waiting for this phone is going to kill me lol.

Ha welcome to the HD2. I remember waiting for my two HD2 and usually UPS comes before 1 at my house and he didn't come til 4, Just think of how horrible those three hours were
Good find on the promo code btw. I got both of my HD2 for 200 all together.

So you used it for 2 purchases? That's great!
I am not sure when the UPS guy delivers at my aunts house. So I will have to wait twice as long, AHHHH lol.

I got 2 HD2 for free from a corperate kiosk in the mall

nope they had buy one get one free. so they charged 100 per HD2. When you get it you need to put a custom rom on it. without the custom rom you'll be miserable. I am using the Energy Rom which works perfect.

Yeah I've owned the G1 three times.
I've owned my share phones so I am pretty good at software on most phones.

Apple: iPhone 2G , iPhone 3G

LG: Voyager, Chocolate 1, Chocolate 2
Sidekick: LX, Slide
Ha so as you can I have had my fair share of phones and I can honestly say I'm loving the HD2 but I believe I will be trying out the iPhone 4 because of the new features

My phone history started with dumb phones(Naturally because I was 8 years old when I got my first phone. . .), then my first smart phone was the Samsung SGH-i607(Blackjack on at&t), then from there I've had my share of phones.

yeah i had all those bar and flip phones when they were popular also. Although the Nokia E62 was my first smart phone and I actually was one of my favorite smart phones.

Basically before 2007, I owned feature phones.

If I could bring the thread back to the original subject, I placed my order for my HD2 last night and tried using the code. No luck, just kicked back an error saying it was invalid. So,

What phone are you moving from to the Galaxy S II?

As the title says, I think it would be interesting to see where our new Galaxy S II community is coming from.
I'm personally coming from a Galaxy S 1.
So, what was your previous phone before the Galaxy S II? You can select multiple options if you have multiple phones simultaneously, but only vote for phones you had DIRECTLY before getting your SGS II, not ones you've had in the past.
EDIT: Samsung option should say '2010 or newer Android', includes other Samsung Android phones from 2010. Oh, and obviously by Galaxy S II I mean Galaxy S...can't imagine anyone is already moving from an S II to an S II...

GalaxyS 1: My Current
Iphone 4: Backup
both will be sold soon for the sgs2

I got talked into all the hype about iphone 4 now that i have had it for 6 months i cant wait to sell it, ahhh i hate apple.

Haha, I feel your pain!
When I got my Galaxy S on contract last year, one of the attractions was that Optus here were using unlocked, unbranded handsets for it so there was the option of selling it and grabbing a new unlocked phone before my 24-month contract was up.
As I'm doing right now for the S II!

Going from this Cappy. Its been a good 2 months. But I can't resist the call of the SGS 2. Just trying to find out how to get it here in Toronto. (Ordering wise)
Roaming the forums on the XDA app.

I'm going from a HTC touch diamond 2, can't wait till it arrives as I know the difference is going to be unreal

well i WAS using a g1 until it went into a boot loops and i think i accidentally flashed DangerSpl again... yeah that's a brick. so i've been forced back to my touch pro. touch pro 1. which was dropped into a sink. and randomly shuts off. or the power button will stop working for a couple of hours.
*hangs head* AT&T needs to hurry and at least give us a timeframe for sgs2 release. i need a new phone so badly i'm considering getting an iP4 as an upgrade and selling it when the sgs2 comes out but i have no idea what it's resell value would be at the time and don't want to end up being out of pocket $500 total on this

I was never a fan of Android before, but now I'm making the plunge from an iPhone 4 because the GS2 looks awesome

My Desire started overheating with GPS & 3G (known hardware issue), but I won't be anywhere near a service centre I could use for months. Guess that's gonna get passed down to my wife once I can get it fixed.
Now I just need to find a place to buy the SGS2 somewhere in Malaysia or Thailand (with a intl. warranty). Any suggestions?

dude you sound like me, im always switching phones up. trust me as ive owned more than i posted above. hell im even thinking of returning my evo to best buy and reverting my upgrade and trying out a cheap lg optimus off of craigslist for a few weeks until the 3d comes. i just love to try new phones out. id even love to play with the hd7 if i could.

blackberry 8530 and before that was a palm treo.

Current phones: Nexus S 4G, AT&T iPhone 4.
Past phones: EVO 4G, iPhone 3GS, Touch Pro 1 & 2, iPhone 3G, HTC Touch, Palm Centro, iPhone 2G, HTC Wing, HTC tilt, Treo 700.
Looking forward: I'm definitely getting the iPhone 5/4GS. I have a full upgrade on Sprint right now but will probably wait for the next Nexus, but if ICS runs great on the Nexus S, I'll probably wont use it until when Windows 8 drops and will get a Sprint Windows Phone right around then.
