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.
Rogers will soon be offering all dream owners a free upgrade to the Magic. Due to Rogers pushing out a android 2.1 update to the magic in the comming months and the dream receiving no such update, rogers will be allowing dream users to trade in for a free magic.
http://www.teleclick.ca/2010/01/rogers-wireless-lets-htc-dream-users-upgrade-to-htc-magic/
dont know about you guys but i think im going to take advantage of this deal to get the added ram the magic has. i will miss more hard keyboard though...
That is definitely a downgrade.
No keyboard = no good.
It's a step in the right direction but don't get too excited.
The Magic and the Dream came out at the same time for Rogers and most of us knew the Magic had more ram but we still took the Dream because of the keyboard.
Also don't forget that Rogers has a policy that you can't get HUP from them in the first 2 years of your contract with a smartphone. Now obviously they are going to tweek this to allow us to "upgrade" to the Magic but it will surely come with a contract extension, which mean you'll be tied for another 2 years before you can upgrade again. Lets also not forget that the Magic has the same slow arse processor the Dream does. Do you really want to be stuck on the Qualcomm® MSM7201A 528MHz processor for another 2 years ?
I'd be much more willing to spend a few bucks and get a real phone. You know if the Rogers had the Milestone or the Nexus One.
I personally don't have any issue with the CPU on DREAM.
It *IS* a phone....
I would NEVER give up the keyboard though. Even for a GN1.
Those rumors of the "enterprise edition" of the GN1 with a keyboard sound nice....
Yeah the keyboard is a must! I have had alot of HTC devices in the past with no keys, so I finally got the dream a few months back and so far I am loving it, and the update doesnt really matter to me once my 2 year is done I will get a new device.

Well I did the free upgrade. I was 7 months into my 3 year contract so I had to renew for 3 years and my HUP credit gets reset to the full 3 years but I figured I couldn't pass it up.
Question is do I keep both phones or do I sell the Magic brand new, or do I jump ship and sell the Dream and hold onto the Magic for a little while?
dont know why you had to re-sign for 3 years... i sweet talked the rogers agent and stayed on my existing contract (2years 7months) as well as i didnt have my HUP change...
mabey its because im a stunningly good looking guy.. who knows
Well everyone I wouldn't worry too much about the 2 yrs before you get another HUP (Hardware Upgrade) there are big changes coming to the program!!
Imagine a HUP for the cost of a new activation, unheard of right? Welcome to the new Rogers, yes there will still be a 2 or 3 yr commitment required in order to get that new HUP, but instead of paying $199 for a new phone, it will be as if you walked in off the street and signed up!!
Lot's more new stuff coming out in the future, so stay tuned!!!
Forgot to mention the deal is only available till end of this month. Also you get to keep your dream. Free phone, can sell your old one if you want, its stupid to not take advantage of this deal, unless you bought the dream when it first came out.
I called in to see if I could get this upgrade, but they said that I was not eligible because I have not had the account for two years. Is this correct, do you have to have been with rogers for over two years to get this upgrade?
Call them back and tell them that the offer is new and they can ask for help if they need to. The 2yr HUP term has been waived for this offer and it is available for those that have gotten their phone either through a hardware upgrade or through a new activation between Jan 1st 2009 and Dec 31st 2009
I called them today and the customer rep explain to me that only different will be that there a keyboard (like they didn't wanted me to upgrade), I just listen to them and got the phone approved everything waived off, there some people on the internet mentioning that there a 50$ there isn't, you only get the 50$ once you renew your contract, but they made a exception for this HUP. @beav_35, if you mention hardware upgrade they wont let you do that, explain to them of the specific Dream to Magic upgrade.
Just have a HUP 30 Dec. 2009 (Dream) now upgraded again to (Magic) for $0.00 just and additional one (1) month extension to my current 3-year term. pls $50 rebate.

I said the same until I actually got the N1 and used the soft keyboard. The phone is snappy and responsive enough, and the screen is large enough that the soft keyboard is actually easier for me to type on than the physical keyboard on my now retired G1.
You really should try it out physically before you decide, but yeah the N1EE may make me eat my words (if they don't significantly increase the size of the phone to add the keyboard (but I'm guessing it will be back to roughly the same size as the G1).
On another note, I'm really wishing T-Mobile would do the same, at least a G1 to refurb MyTouch upgrade. Would make my wife worlds happier.
Isn't that complete bull****? I'm running 1.6 on my Rogers dream now from Cyanogen.
ALSO can I get this upgrade? I don't have a contract with Rogers. I bought my Rogers dream from ebay and use it on Bell?

No you won't be able to do the upgrade if you didn't get the Dream from Rogers.
im calling tomorrow to see if i qualify, i got my dream from rogers in july 09
got a new contract in november.
would it make a difference if my contract is under a blackberry bold 9000 but using my htc dream? *good deal on the blackberry so i got it on the new contact and sold it and kept my dream*

I got the feel you'll be S.O.L. but it's worth a try.
on the phone now they are trying to work it out so i can get it. i have the box ect.. imei number shows when i got the phone when i said i did. ill update.
I was one of the people who pre-ordered my G1 through T-Mobile when they announced it nearly 2 years ago... August 14th I believe it was I was told by a rep the exact day that I would be available for my fully discounted upgrade. Does T-Mobile or anyone plan to have a brand new phone for us around that time? It only should seem right that someone would do something just for us!
In other words, when I am able to upgrade in August...whats the sickest droid phone I am gonna be able to get for t-mobile?
If they start sellin tha Nexus One at the store by August that will be the best Android phone on T Mobile.
The Mytouch Slide will be available June 2nd from T-Mobile.
The Nexus one if its in stores by then, HTC desire or Vision if they do make it on to the carrier (both are rumored). I don't know about the rules of this website sorry if I break them by telling you that www.tmonews.com is the best place for Tmobile news. Also the Samsung Galaxy S that has prolly the best screen on the market is coming to TMO. So TMO has go stuff coming its just they are slow and rather go after the mytouch crowd. Example mytouch fender, Behold 2, and mytouch slide. I'm in the same boat my contract is up in August.
Yeah my friend is gettin the mytouch slide and I told him its gonna be sick. I hope he let's me root it.
My girl has the behold II and hates it.
I think they gotta be plannin bringing something out. Otherwise they should fire the hmfic of deciding what and when phones get released.

I have sprint phones for my Son and Daughter. I have had the Hero for several months now, and purchased mine at Best Buy at the awesome sale price of 70.00. I should have bought two then and I am kicking myself in the butt for not doing so. Well, my son really wants one and I promised him one for graduation, but now they are not on sale anymore.
If there is anyone out there selling their Hero to get ready for the new line of Android phones.... I am extrememly interested in buying your HERO.. if you know of anyone selling one rooted or not, let me know please.
thanks, Chris

Do you mena EVO?
I am thinking of selling my Hero. I am wanting to get the EVO. Asking $200. Few months old, rooted and running Fresh 2.1.2. Also has the Otterbox case on it. PM me if interseted.
Hey guys, just wanted some opinions here . I currently have a Hero running Froyo and was thinking about buying my contract out with nTelos and going with Verizon . At any rate, I can get the Droid 2 free with new contract or the Incredible free with a two year contract . That said , do you all think it's worth the change ? Are the phones really that much different ?
I came from a Hero running Froyo to the Droid2. I've also played around the the Incredible. The Droid2 and Incredible are hands down better than the Hero. You will instantly notice the difference...on the bootanimation/loadup. The Incredible/Droid2 is a different subject. Read some of the other posts about that decision though
first, where did you get it free??? I just upgraded from a kaosfroyo v36 eris(hero) to a droid 2 and just rooted it today. I instantly fell in love.
