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.
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!!!!

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

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.
First of all thanks to you guys and this forum for teaching me a lot about my new mt4g. I have never owned a "smartphone" before this, my last phone was a nokia 5310, so this was all new to me.
I permarooted the phone ( don't know why yet) and have it fairly customized with a few exceptions. My next project is to install a theme without it looking terrible, I used metamorph and installed a theme and it totally messed up. And of course I want to mess with roms, but I'll give that time.
Anyways....
1. hxxp://img706.imageshack.us/img706/6371/snap20101222204715.png
In this picture I really want to get rid of that bottom bar ( sorry I don't know what it's called). I've used adw and launcher pro and it worked successfully but I want to get rid of that bar without those programs, is it possible?
and the last question
2. When I signed up for this phone I got the unlimited plan of $30 a month. Well I recently lost my job and want to go to $15 a month for 200mb. Some may think it is not worth it but I think for me it is very much so. I don't facebook or surf the web, download things or any of that stuff. The only data I use intentionally is for updating the weather and news, and checking email on occasion. Here's where my question is. I notice that in every document with this phone it mentions "wifi calling". Does this mean also that if I'm connected through wifi at my house that the data will flow through my wifi network instead of tmobile's network? At my house, school, my parents house, and girlfriends house all have wifi. I'm curious because I've asked tmobile reps and of course they won't give me a clear answer because they want the $30 unlimited out of me.
I would appreciate answers to any of these drawn out questions. Thanks and I hope to learn plenty more.
I can help ya with question #2. the "Wi-Fi Calling" lets you use a wi-fi network to make phone calls when you have little or no cell signal. what you need to use data would be wi-fi network. if you go under "settings">select "Wireless & Networks">select "Wi-Fi">select "Wi-Fi settings" from there select what ever network you want connect to. any time you are on wi-fi you are completely off TMO's net so it doesn't count against your 200MB, it will only count against that when you are on cell network (seeing G, E, 3G or H)
edit : I still have my red Xpress Music 5310 as one of my many backup phones and my wife still has her white/purple Xpress Music 5300 as her backup, pretty good phones for "dumb" phones
thanks for the response regarding wifi. That's what I was doing and thought that was the case, just wanted to be sure. Like I said I think Tmobile just wanted my extra $15.
You're right about the 5310 phone though, my girlfriend still uses is and I still have mine as a backup. It has great reception, sound quality, and VERY compact.
Thanks.
If you call and ask nicely, TMO might give you the $20 unlimited plan, if you can afford the extra $5, it's def worth it IMHO.
Call TMO (611) and say "cancel my service" which takes you to retention. Ask for the special android $20 unlimited plan.

Ya thanks for the advice and I am a very nice person ( not just when I want to be) but It didn't work. The only thing they offered me is a free month of data on my gf's phone ( the 5310), which is pretty much worthless lol. But you are correct, if I could get unlimited for $20 I would go for it.
Try to call again. Sometimes it's just about who you talk to. Sometimes a different agent will give you a different answer.
cool will do, I'll be persistant.
Off topic, is it worth over/underclocking your phone?
EDIT: sorry I don't mean to bog this forum down with questions, just having a new phone like this is exciting.
Def keep trying. First time they offered me this phone for 149 then talked to another dude and got it for 99. Its all in who you talk to.... Dont forget to mention how your 4g speeds are slower than your buddies evo 4g on sprint and your dissatisfied.... Etc etc etc... You get the idea.
Underclock.ovrclk is up to you. My old nexus one was stock and rooted but I eventually ovrclk ... Haha im going to keep my mytouch phone stock but rooted for now I dont need 1.7ghz from this phone to play angry birds. I think u should read up on android first as well.
will do. I didn't ever plan on overclocking it, hell I never even overclocked my computer because I never saw the need to. I was just curious as to why people would do it, I guess a simple google search could of yielded me my question. Thanks again

Biggest reason people overclock is they can. Its like having that sports car that is plenty fast and then tossing on a supercharger. It just makes it more fun!! This phone doesn't need to be overclocked but it does make it even snappier. I am running just a stock de-odexed rom and I am overclocked. Still have all the bloatware and everything and I am throwing down like 2650-2800 quadrant scores and 58 mflops on linpack consistantly. While it is plenty responsive fully stock, it is even more responsive overclocked. Thats one of the great things though about being rooted. Along with being able to add themes and mods to your phone you can also revert back from most mods very easily.
You should give the overclocking a try and see what you think. Just make sure you have a nandroid backup done before you start any mods.(You should make a nandroid backup anyway) If you dont like the overclock just go into Clockwork recovery and select backup/restore go into advanced and pick one of your backups. Go to restore boot and hit enter,there you go. You dont have to do a wipe or do a full restore to replace the kernel.
Also keep in mind, I dont think most, if any metamorph themes will work on this phone while it is running sense. (unless some people make some). You will end up seeing more of that stuff for CM Roms probably. This phone is pretty new so it is still building its development community. With all the other high end phones out it will be a slower process than it was with the G1 but it will happen. We are already starting to see some cool stuff!
thanks, that does make sense. I have done a full backup with rom manager so maybe I should grow a pair and try a few more things with this phone like overclocking. Would you just say that OC mainly makes games run faster, and possibly the internet app?
On your second comment I have been noticing that and wondered if it was because it was such a new phone. I don't see many roms, themes, or much of anything ( if I actually know what I'm doing). It will be fun to sit back and see what rolls out though, and only wished I had the knowledge to help in the processes. By that way I got the big bulks bar off the bottom off the screen by using a loader named "Go Launcher". It seems to run better than the others I tried and I finally figured out how remap the genius button.
Thanks for hearing me out, I feel like sense finals are done and I'm jobless right now I have so much time to work on this phone and get so excited when I figure something new out. Peace.

hey same thing happened to me. in October 09 my 2 year agreement finished and the month after one of my 2 phones broke cus i dropped it so i went to the tmo store and got the motorola qlic for 200$. i had to start my 2 years again, i didnt mind this cus i was getting a new phone anyways and the other one i just kept it the same cus i was just waiting for it to brake so i could get a new one and renewal until then. when i got it it was when the unlimited data was still for 20$ a month. like 1 or 2 months after the HTC HD2 came out with that big ass screen and with a 16gb memory card and all that for only 200$, so i was really pissed off, so i called tmobile liying that i wanted to cancel my 2 lines cus i was really disappointed that for the same price that i got my tiny phone i could of gotten a way better one, i also lied about that i went to sprint and got offered 2 evo's with all the data crap and unlimited msg and 1500 minutes for 5 bucks less than what i was paying with tmobile (i had only 700 shared minutes for 69.99$, internet in only 1 phone, inssurance in 1 phone and unlimited fam msg for 20$, my total bill was 118.00$ a month) and that i was gonna get the evo's for free lol. soooo... they told me to hold on blah blah blah!! after 3 minutes on hold they told me that they could hook me up with 100 minutes less for 49.99$ but with unlimited myfaves on both lines for free plus internet on both phones for 20$ each (at this time unlimited data was 30$ already). inssurance on both phones, 10$ unlimited fam msg giving me a total of 110$ a month. so even though i liked what they offered me i was still not fully happy cus i still didnt have a bad ass phone so i told them that i wasnt gonna stay cus sprint had a better phone and for free (a big lie), so they asked me what phone from tmobile i liked? so i said that the only phone close enough to the evo was the HD2 and that my wife liked the mytouch 3g slide. after another 5 minute hold they came back offering me the slide for 65$ even though it was not out in stores yet, plus the HD2 for 150$ even though i only had 6 months since i upgraded my line and i wasn't eligible for an upgrade, plus the price lowered to 110$. so what do you think i said? ILLLLLLL TAKE ITTTTTTT hahaha. 6 months after, now i have 2 brand new Mytouch 4g lol but thats a different story on how i got this lol.
so bottom line is, keep trying and they will come through my friend.
ps: i added my works health plan and i got a 10% discount bringing my bill to 100 a month!!!
someone please let me know if they got something better than me!!

there are actually quite a few roms out there such as CM, ice glacier, MIUI and a few others. I would give those a try, it's not hard to do as you say u already managed to root the phone.
overclocking/underclocking for me is a pretty neat way to manage the phone's power. if u feel u need more speed, overclock it to 1.4 or something..when the phone is off, underclock it to save some battery life
I have a Mytouch 3G at the moment, it's getting slower and slower everyday and it's driving me crazy. A friend of mine is willing to sell me his HD2 for $175 (comes with original packaging, accessories, etc.) Seems like a good deal to me, but I wanted to know some things before I make my decision.
Is ROM development active (for WinMo and Android?)
How well does Android run on the HD2?
How is the overall speed of the device on WinMo?
Am I getting a good deal?

it is really worth buying though the stoch wm sucks u can still upgrade to energy roms (the one which i preffer) it just sprints with android on nand and wp7 i havent tried ...comming bach to the question ya hd2 is quite stable and fast on energy roms but stock roms are crappy ... get it
I have a htc hd2. I like it very much. Yes you can flash this phone to andriod. It is very to flash it and there are tons if roms.
Rom development seems active.
Decent price.
I've bought 2 off CL here in the Bay Area.
One for $150 and one for $200.
Most of them are listed for much higher than that but I doubt they're selling.
Gotta be careful since many of the HD2s seem to be having hardware issues.
First one I bought is showing signs of impending MB failure which is no doubt why the dude sold it.
Not sure how one would test for that in a short meetup since it's intermittent.
OT: CL is filled with grifters and frauds anymore.
Just following in the footsteps of our politicians and business leaders I suppose.
Sigh.
...
man buy the hd 2... why not one of the best phones on the market...
Buy the HD2 and flash an android rom it will seem like a brand new phone.
Yes it is worth buying, especially for the amount of money you're getting it for.
Hell yes! All HD2s in my area go for 250+ on craigslist, plus this phone is just about the most supported phone with devs.
depending on the condition and cosmetics of the HD2, $175 is a good deal. Im used to android on my Glacier/mytouch 4G, and didnt like the stock win6.5 on the HD2 so I flashed android. ROM development is awesome and there are plenty of options to choose from(android, win6.5, wp7, meego, ubuntu). currently running cm7 rc4 and havent had any issues with the ROM or device
I bought my HD2 T-Mobile half a year ago on e-bay for $210 and it is really the best smart on the market nowadays.
This phone definitely worth buying (T-Mobile version is preferred since it has more memory).

Agree! Just to add that we all hope AT&T and T-Mobile merger never goes through and that way we keep using our HD2s in full 3G capabilities!!!
If we end up going to AT&T we are done with HD2 running 3G
I love my HD2 no doubt. But I'd say no, unless if you can get it for $125 or less. As much as you love a phone, remain objective on what exactly (in concrete terms) the hardware is netting you for the dollar you are forking over.
To end my time here, since this was one of the nicest phones I have owned, I thought that this thread should have the final line of one of the greatest movies ever made.
Sprint really made me mad with their changes to the federal employee discount (I thought that we had a 2 year contract, but apparently I am the only one bound to it), and since I use less than 200 minutes of monthly talk time, and about 1.5 GB of monthly data, it just did not seem right to pay so much for only two phones.
I have decided to go the prepaid route and get an HTC Evo V 4G from Virgin Mobile (it is really just the EVO 3D rebranded for VM). It has a 1.2 GHz dual core processor, a 4.3" screen, HDMI out, runs ICS, and is on sale (today is the last day) for $149.00 without a contract. What is more, for only $99.00 I purchased an HTC One V for my wife. Our monthly bill is now half of what it was with Sprint, and even with the cost of the phones, I will save around $1200 over the two years (funny thing is, VM uses Sprint's towers).
I am going to root the phones, flash a stock ROM, and compile Kernels that allow overclocking. Time for a boring phone with a small bill :
Sorry to hear that.
Get better soon (just kidding, will miss you).
I've considered doing that myself. A friend of mine has the HTC One V and he is very happy with it. Ironiclly its the One V's stock ROM I got to boot on my shift. I (or someone) need to brake down and learn to make kernels so we can have a sense 3.6 or 4.0 here... Enjoy your new devices and don't be a stranger.

I have considered it many times, it just seems so overwhelming... I would be more likely to try if I had someone to walk me through it. And if my computer was not crap.
You will be missed . But hopefully you will still visit a lot . You were one of the first to help me out when I first got my Shift. Thank you .
