I've noticed a number of users on here that have seemed yo own many new smartphones in what seems like a short period of time. For example not singling out anyone specifically but some of you guys seem like you've had a G2, Droid X, Droid Incredible and finally an Evo. Okay maybe not every one of those but you get the idea.
So how do you afford to switch so frequently? I certainly don't make enough to switch/upgrade that often.

I did this also; kept trading things for money to get other things or trading one for another. Loved my rant but I wanted the EVO. Sold my iPod touch to get the funds. Now I can afford most things though.

the wife has one. it's no better than the Epic, imo. i'd fear that the capacitive buttons wouldn't hold up. It looks like they're in the same GB limbo. I don't know who started that rumor. Also, their biggest dev is a known kanger. I chased him off from the Galaxy Tab 10.1 forum when he was begging users to buy him a Tab so he would be so kind as to dev for us. Sorry, we have Task, pershoot and PhantomHacker who run circles around his copy and paste devving.

I see lots of things on androidcentral.com that make me browse elsewhere. The guy that made gymmicharge moved on. It's supported and fine, but no better than anything on our phone. Danalo1979 might be a reasonable dev but he truly kanged off of gummi and had to apologize to the whole forum to avoid or come back from ban. He also had to actually write a real rom and the original us still marked.

EVO 4G will be right next the C64 and its 64K ram expansion unit and tape drive within my personal museum. As for next phone..who knows.. too early to tell.
Is HTC gonna get hit with all the patent mess from Apple? I lost track of what was going on but last I saw, Apple was suing over a patent on the ability to click on a phone number within a webpage and have it dial the number. At the time, it wasn't going to affect imports for a few months. Anyone heard anything?
The galaxy nexus looks pretty appealing. Although I would like to stick with HTC. Hopefully they come out with a phone that has a screen like the nexus or the epic touch.
I get one more Premier Gold 1-year upgrade on April 1st. If the Galaxy Nexus is out by then, I'll get one. Otherwise, probably the Epic Touch 4G.
I wish HTC would come out with something hot between now and then.
How are you still able to get a one year up? That ended forever ago didn't think they were doing anymore grandfathering in.

Gold Premier (10+ years) customers were given one last one-year upgrade if they were close to their date. Don't remember the time frame, but my acct reflects this. Got my EVO last April, and I'm eligible 04/01/2012.
They ended one-year upgrades for Silver Premier customers last April. Gold customers ended 12/31/2011, with one more upgrade granted.
Selling mine for $100 (I'll let it go for $75) to a good developer. Figured I would offer it up.

Granted, the new ones are with a new contract discount, but they also come with the packaging, manual, and headphones... and there are a couple other things about his other thread that seem a little weird, which makes me kinda wonder - it might just be the way he presents it, but the presentation is what hooks potential buyers - guess I'm not one of them

100 is fair..as long as it's in good working condition it's not a bad deal.
I wouldn't go lower than that Gordon, if lowballers aren't willing to pay a Benjamin, don't you worry, the devs aren't cheap. If they need it, they'll buy it. Perhaps a member in need will buy it if not a dev. I bought mine for 230$ when it first came out off-contract, but there's still people with money to blow who I could sell it to for 250$ if I felt like it, so $100 is fair if you ask me. Some people love to be on the contrary, they love it, just ignore it. Lol.

I found an epic on Craigslist which messed up during an update (battery ran out). So now it only boots to recovery.It has a clean ESN and its only $50. I've been planning on switching back to the epic for a while, so I'm going to jump on it.
I'm going to Odin it when I meet him to check the esn.
