Longtime vogue user, and the move to the legacy forum has had me looking for a new toy....
I have been looking out for a deal to move the wife and I from the Vogues to the Incredible/DroidX/Droid2. I do not want to have a flipout keyboard, so of you guys who may have moved, looking to move away from the Vogue, what do you think? Wait for a deal on the X or jump on the deal for the BOGO Incredibles. Seems like a good deal to me...

I have read that the Fascinate is better than both the Incredible and the X.

the fascinate is the last phone i would go with though, the fact that bing is the default search engine seems weird to me, if i were on verizon i would totally do the incredible esp since Myn's warm twopointtwo has been ported to it and also incubus has it too so you got some good talent on your side there.
the droid X is cool but the Efuse thing is def a pain to work around from what i have seen.
I've played with the incredible in Verizon stores on US overnights. Very similar to my Desire and just plain awesome even stock.
Make the move, you won't regret it.
i went with droid 2 for price. the locked bootloader/kernel sucks. HOWEVER, coming from vogue / raph, it's DAMN snappy even on stock. plus we've got a true aosp rom now so you can totally dump the blur stuff if you don't like it.
i really wanted the keyboard, so that pushed me to the d2... but the incredible was REALLY tempting and if you've enjoyed the hackability of vogue, you may want to go with the dinc.

Whatever phone you get, make sure it has the minimum requirements for Gingerbread (3.0)
I think it was 1 GHz CPU, 512 MB RAM, and 3.5 Touch Screen.
but thats pretty standard for all new phones. have fun with gingerbread!!

If you have to stay with the big red, you may want to stick to the DInc. The Moto phones are awesome but the fact that they are beyond locked down will limit your ability to do a whole lot of things tht you may be used to with your Vogue...

Should I go with Incredible? I have an upgrade due in November and don't really know what to choose. The Droid X has that super awesome big screen, outdated GPU but 2 or 3 roms only. The Fascinated has a beautiful screen and awesome hardware, but no Froyo. The Droid Incredible has both outdated CPU and GPU, but awesome roms, which are TOO awesome . I don't what to do! Should I wait for the new Incredible HD which will probably have awesome roms due to similarities to the EVO or some other mysterious phone? Switching carriers is not an option.

I would suggest going with the Incredible.
It is getting a lot of attention from developers so there is a growing list of ROMs, themes, mods, etc.
Also there is a Seidio 3500mah battery available, and pairing this phone with that battery is an unstoppable beast. Instead of battery life in the "hours" you can expect "days"
The screen is awesome, size is perfect even with 3500, and options are unlimited.
IMO, right now it is the best device on the market. Maybe not the most specced out package, but the overall combined package makes this a great phone.
Go for it
Well u know the answers u will get having ask this in the Droid incredible section. I have had the DInc, X, D2, and I now own a fascinate. and I will be keeping the fascinate until we get some LTE phones. The fascinate has far better screen and hardware. The CPU/GPU is far better than u will find in the x, and way better than u will find in the incredible. But I will say HTC makes software that is unbeatable out of the box. Up to u. Your call. Having almost of those phones u see what I have stuck with

I suggest you get the Fascinate. In my opinion, it goes in this order: Fascinate, Incredible, Droid X. The hardware on the Fascinate is the best you will find, and unlike the Droid X, it isn't locked down, so you can mod it however you want. I'm also pretty sure there are Froyo roms for the Fascinate (if that was the only thing keeping you away from it).
There's no Froyo roms on the Fascinate (hopefully that will change with the release of the Galaxy Tab). I think the Fascinate is first, second is Droid X, next is Droid INC in my book now. But we'll see what happens before my upgrade. Thanks guys for the tips!

Sent from my HTC Droid Incredible. This Droid Does More.
i'd also wait till the end of the year...
fascinate is nice but it's really not that much of an upgrade over the DInc. I personally would rather have the DInc over it.
The first problem with the fascinate is the LAG issue. there is a "fix" though but hopefully it's officially fixed through froyo.
by the time the fascinate starts seeing ROMs will probably be the same time the next batch of super androids will be coming out. the fascinate will not see many ROMs until froyo hits it.... not many devs want to waste there time on a outdated 2.1
the major problem i found with the fascinate is 2GB of internal memory....... i mean really? i enjoy the fact that i dont HAVE to install apps2sd with the incredible. I don't think i ever will honestly. I see no benefit, especially with titanium backup.
Anyways.. it's also "binged" out. i personally don't support that.
i just got an incredible, today actually and just got done flashing a new rom with evo framework. It's really cool that you can in essence have an evo, minus a few hardware differences. I upgraded from my vogue, and this is a night and day difference. It's really a solid phone, great to use, and has some really impressive features. All around its a great phone for usability.
Get an incredible, a free one from Best Buy. The Dinc is free on 10/29/2010.

Unless you specifically want a huge screen, I say stay away from the Droid X. 3 of my friends have it and it doesn't feel nearly as smooth as the Incredible. Not to mention, the Inc has Sense (which imo is much better than stock Android) but you always have the option to flash a stock Android ROM if you prefer. I suggest you wait till November 2nd to see what Samsung is about to announce. I think it's going to be the Continuum, but some (ignorant) people think it's going to be the Nexus 2.
Since you are up in November, maybe you can get the Incredible HD...assuming the rumors are true.

If this is true, THIS would be my choice over the Fascinate. Latest Generation Snapdragon with the new PowerSGX540 (same one in the Galaxy S) with 4.3 inch screen and front-facing camera(although unecessary) with HTC Sense and Kickstand? I really hope that this will come out either before my upgrade or in the 30 day period after my upgrade.

I have a year to go, but this would totally be my next phone. I am going to find a way to get it through my company so I can get it at the new activation price of (hopefully) $199 and still keep my Incredible SD.

Well im not happy..but wife moved us to verizon ( work ) hate to leave sprint.. and my hero.. but no choice in the matter atm.. Wife rules...lol
Will stick around though.. The hero section is what made me stick around.. you guys rule.. Plus still have 2 hero's laying around to tinker with.. Or sale etc.lol
Anyway.. guess its on to the darkside ( verizon ) wish me luck.lol At least its not att and iphone's right!!
we will be moving to them as well this winter. what kind of phones did you get? i think you can put your hero on verizon as well so you know.

Wow, nice, I'd love to have an Incredible, and I agree, I only like HTC Android phones
HTC is by far the best because of their overall build quality and support. Samsung and Motorola are both mixed in terms of which devices they support, and the pace at which they release updates. Some devices like the Behold II and almost all lower end Motorola phones get the shaft and hardly get any updates. Half of them are still at 1.5 or 1.6... but only the high end ones like Droid, Droid X, and Droid 2 (basically all Verizon ones) get satisfactory updates. I think Samsung is similar. HTC is much more consistent.
I don't think you'll miss the Hero at all, except for maybe the hardware buttons instead of capacitive buttons. But I tried out my friend's Incredible, and man was it smooth.. and it was the stock ROM

enjoy your new phone. hopefully when i move to verizon there will be a new webos device or a high end android phone.
I think the INC is pretty highend.. screen size aside... lol I mean its not a monster like the evo etc.. but spec wise should be alot better than the hero ive been running all year..
I mean outside of the few games.. wth would I need a dual core chip and a giant screens etc. for right now anyway? To open my email faster and see more of it,lol
Just joking of course.. but really the INC should keep me happy for awhile.. til i get bored...etc..
Hello, I have a droid 2 at the moment and I'm heavily toying with the idea of picking up a DX and selling my D2...would it be worth it or am i going to sort of downgrade?
I see that the DX has more roms and seems like more development too.
I got myself a DX and picked a D2 up for my sister at the same time, about 4 days ago. I have to tell you, I like my Rooted DX with ApeX 1.3.1 a LOT better than her D2. But it's whatever you will be happy with.
Come on brotha! The DX a "downgrade" from the D2?! How do you figure that?! Not to be all up in your kool aid - but you know Verizon isn't even selling new D2's anymore right? only refurbs. So I wouldn't call it downgrading to buy one of the most popular phones on the market.
Having ranted all that - honestly - same phone - a little different package. I know people are going to bust me on that - but come on - what's the difference? HDMI out? Wooo! I have used that uhh - none times in 4 months. 8mp camera? The X takes horrible pictures (well - not horrible. but not any better than the D2).
Going from D2 to the X is a complete waste when there are some Tegra 2 dual core processors right around the corner. If you are going to blow $300+, I say wait just a couple more months.
If you want to do something cool pick up an OG D1 that for $100 to tide you over. They are overclocking those to 1ghz and you will get REAL custom roms. cyanogen, bugless beast, ultimate droid etc.
I heard D1 is already getting a Gingerbread port. DX aint getting no kinda love like that. I'm trying to pick me up a D1 or an Incredible if you know anyone.
Just my opinion though.

The incredible is a nice phone. But the battery life is pretty bad. Get an extended and you'll probably be ok.
I am not saying that the Incredible is a better phone -but I would like to have it as a second phone so I could run CM and BB. I hear the Dinc has a semi functional ginger bread port also. Battery life does suck though.
Don't get me wrong -I really like the X. I don't think I could use a 3.7 screen anymore -but I sure wish we were completely unlocked.

I think its all about what you are looking for, but in no way a downgrade. I think most people would say the D2 is a downgrade to the DX smaller screen and such. I guess you have to ask yourself the question is a hard keyboard a requirement. If it is not and you can handle the size the Droid X is probably going to meet or exceed all your expectations. I think it is one of the best Android phones out.
-McMex
I'm just used to owning hard keyboard devices but I've used the nexus one (that was my first full touch phone) and I didn't complain about it actually lol.
I've read some news recently about verizon possibly getting a new HTC device, but then again, Droid X is in my opinion considered the classier more stylish phone, so its re-sale value might hold out more when the new one's come out, that's also a factor for me.
I, like a few others, would advise you to wait. I'm loving my DX running Fission, but as soon as some of these dual core phones start popping up I'll be upgrading immediately.
I am worried about having to go down to a smaller screen. At first I thought it was necessarily big, but now when I use my old D1 it makes me realize how nice having such a large screen is. I did have to take my Body Glove off though. DX w/ Body Glove was just a little too bulky for me in my pocket. Taking away the cover made me love the phone that much more.
If we could get Bugless Beast on this phone I would be in heaven, and quite frankly would have no true reason to upgrade my phone. I'm just glad I ditched the Blackberry a few years back. Just to think, I almost got a Storm 2 over a D1. What an awful mistake that would have been.
After receiving the fascinate on release day, I, along with all of you have been waiting patiently (ahem) for the Froyo drop. After watching these forums and trying to learn all I could, I tried every combination that has been modded or developed here to help satisfy the need for something better than stock. I wanted to thank all of you who have been working on different things to help make this phone better in the absence of OEM support. A lot of the things delivered did make the phone better, but I always kept having to load another work around to do something I was used to doing on my old droid 2. Today, after playing with a Droid X, I decided to go ahead and dump the fascinate in favor of the X. Perhaps a mistake, but for now, I don't think so....my empty anticipation has dissipated until I start wanting gingerbread on the X. From all of my hours of watching, reading and learning from you all, it seems like the support is just there from Moto and I've never felt that from Samsung. If things work out like they normally do for me, you should be getting Froyo tomorrow thanks to me getting rid of mine. This is my first post in XDA, as I usually spend my time searching and reading to learn from the experts and I wanted to take the chance to say thank you before I start spending my time in the droid threads.
paid full price for a dx??
Okay?
It'll probably be out soon you know.. lots of Galaxy S phones are getting one way or another now. Were bound to get an official release soon. Good luck with the DX.

I played with both the Fascinate and the Incredible while at best buy. The Fascinate just felt like a better phone to me when using both. I'm happy with my purchase. The Incredible is a great phone though, great dev community. Enjoy your phone!
The Incredible is a fantastic phone, with one fatal flaw: its absolutely terrible GPU. I had one after owning the Droid 1, right before the Fascinate came out, and while it was tempting to switch to the Fascinate in general once they announced its release date was inside my 30-day return period (better hardware specs all-around), the graphics performance was what absolutely cinched it.
I remember trying to run on the Incredible... I think it was Asphalt 5 (though this goes for plenty of other 3D-intensive games I can't specifically remember) and it was like playing a slideshow most of the time.
Meanwhile, the Droid 1, despite its almost half-speed CPU compared to the Incredible, was able to smoothly run any game I threw at it.

Same here, the incredible was an option, but it is basically a redone droid eris. While decently powerful the fascinate was the better choice, even with 2.1.

I totally respect your decision, but I imagine it will be one you regret. I think people forget that we have only been waiting for Froyo a little more than three months. The droid x waited this long also. Other phones have waited much longer for promised updates.
Btw: As someone already pointed out, you call a locked bootloader better support?

I second this. I got my Fascinate from Craigslist and will never again buy a phone on contract.
As far as Froyo, if the update is half-assed (Droid Eris style), I'll be installing a nice clean Froyo rom the friendly neighborhood developers again.
The Froyo upgrade for the Droid 1 was actually pretty amazing performance-wise, but that's neither here nor there.
And the Droid X took a bit over two months to get Froyo. We've already been waiting three and a half months.
So while the Fascinate is a great phone as-is, from an objective point of view, the upgrade wait is unjustified and I feel buyers have every right to be disappointed -- especially when the manufacturer just launched a phone running 2.3.
I think the incredible is just a tad more than a re done fascinate. That's a little bit of a understatement. The dev community is flying on that phone.
Edit: flacyn. You are exactly right. I will agree locked bootloader doesn't mean no support. Just no support from modders. And launching a gingerbread phone while your flagship line sits on eclair is dissapointing.

Galaxy S isn't on Verizon. The variant the fascinate is. Being a former fascinate owner stick with the X. Even with the voodoo lagfix Droid x is far more stable. Sure the super amoled is nice as well a better gaming performance, but it's not worth the lag and hiccups from the fascinate.
If you want development, go with the fascinate.

no im actually quite serious
now i love android and i also hate the iphone with a bloody passion but in reality with locked bootloader on almost every new device made by the main manufactures(HTC, Motorola, and now samsung) makes it near impossible to make your phone yours and even with root access what can you really do that a jailbroken iphone cant?
i mean you dont have to use itunes and such but seriously it isnt hard to jailbreak an iphone and free it from itunes
in reality though the droid x will never be a droid 1, or a HTC Dream(G1) for that matter
EOL for the droid x is coming up and chances are that 2.3 is going to be the last OTA for the droid x and after that your stuck on 2.3 or what ever version manufactures leave you on until you buy a new device
at least the iphone will last 2 years before it stops getting updates
I picked up a DX on craigslist about a week ago to check out why people were leaving the Fascinate for it. I chose a Fascinate over the DX last fall and only regretted it until the first froyo leaks for it showed up.
In my opinion (grain of salt check) a froyoed Fascinate is a better phone than a froyoed DX. Development seems to be roughly the same in terms of quantity and the quality of development on the Fascinate feels better. My camera/camcorder works, bluetooth doesn't kill the battery, GPS is fixed.
I haven't played around yet with gingerbread (yeah, I'm waiting...) So I can't comment there. Sleigh it looks like fully functioning GB is right around the corner and there is a handicapped one out now for the Fascinate.
This is totally subjective, but the Fascinate is more comfortable to hold also. My DX is probably going to last another week before hitting "The 'bay".
Galaxy S II should be out in 1-2 months. Just wait and get that. Far better than either the Galaxy S or Droid X.
Wow I need to delete this thread because my dad is soooooooo gay and made me get a piece of **** phone. **** this is awesome.
Dx by a mile. Bigger screen, better camera, you will get manufacturer updates. Anyways, wait for the bionic or get a thunderbolt.

Although I agree with most of that as I also suggested droid X. Fasinate has a far better camera. People think more MP equals better. In this case it doesn't. Of every phone I have ever owned Fascinate has the best camera.
I dont think you guys understood could only get the samsung......but now i have a working dx
