Not switching yet... It's not dead yet...
Though if it coincides with the release of Ice Cream Sandwich and the next Nexus I'll be glad

I pre-ordered when it was first released. Still using it for various things, although it is no longer my primary phone.

1.5 years
I finally switch to N1

about one year

Two and half years. Still using it every day, all day. The screen is still in pristine condition, and it rocks better than the day I got it. I Love my G1.

had it since US release date until the end of 2010, then switched to verizon and got a droid x

Long enough that I no longer have a contractual obligation. But, it still works and with the uncertainty concerning T-Mobile's future I am not wanting to get locked in by upgrading.

About 1.5 years. Bought it cheap from a friend who moved on to greener pastures.
I hate the damn thing. Sure I run an optimized Froyo rom, but it's way too slow, and no way am I going back to the dark ages (Android <2.0).
Finally switching to a Samsung Galaxy S II soon! Can't wait! :-D

I'm thinking of getting a sensation next or just waiting till next year

I have only had it for 6 months, since new year of 2011. I now have a HTC HD2 but I still port roms for fun for the G1.

I also had it for 6 months till 2011 and now I have a HTC HD2!!

Nine months. I got mine used on eBay back in September, and despite a few issues, I've been loving it as my first Android device.

i have it for about half a year, but then switch to HTC droid Eris.

From the beginning
Got it the first week of release. Using EVO 4G on Sprint now, but still use G1 on my business cell phone. I keep it to push its limits, currently running CM6. I hope to do something ridiculous with it one day, like Honeycomb on the G1

Lol

a little over a year.gotta love the variety of rom flavours u can try out

Bought mine the day it was released in Germany. Went from there to an HTC legend, now a galaxy s2, but still use my beautiful fat G1 for snes roms, that keyboard is the greatest!

Came across it while checking HTC's facebook.. Free with a 2-year but still better then $200..
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/htc+-+d...less/9893153.p?skuid=9893153&id=1218190733873
Yep, really free. Picked one up for my wife today. Quite an improvement over the EnV Touch.

I just got my Verizon HTC Incredible for free today at the South Salt Lake store location. Man, I feel happy. Although the HTC Evo would have been nice too on Sprint.
Looks like time to get the Vibrant sooner or later
Switched to the Incredible(free phone Friday) after breaking then getting a 2nd Fascinate..don't regret it. Tired of big phones and missed HTC build.

I saw an article today that said Best Buy is running $100 Incredibles through this wknd (w/2-yr or eligibility for upgrade)

Just picked my Inc up an hour ago.
Just noticed my old Sprint Hero battery fits this. So what if it is black. I dont walk around with the cover off anyways. And it's 1500mAh.
Loving my free Dinc.

Early upgrade possible.?

Hi xda well I'm looking at the sensation bout to jump over to it but I want the Samsung galaxy s2 but I was wondering I'm only a month away from my upgrade I've been with T-Mobile for 1 year and I have made every payment before its due. Any idea thanks.!
Sent from my HTC Gingerbread Glacier using XDA App
I was under the impression that you had to be with tmobile for 2 years for an upgrade
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
Yeah you don't get an upgrade until your 22 mo mark. I believe at 13 months you get a partial upgrade, where it's like 30% off of full retail value. You could always threaten to cancel, retention might offer you an early upgrade or a good deal on a phone. You won't be able to get the Sensation through tmo until the 15th though.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Wth really.??? Well that sucks I wanted to upgrade to something newer dual core. Oh well I guess I'm going to have threaten them haha lol. Unless I buy it on craigslist but oh well. Well 30 percent I might take as well. Thanks for your answers.

It sucks but really you knew what you were doing singing the contract and getting the discount on your current phone. Why try to screw them over you always know the second you buy a phone is out done a month later deal with it.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
Well I bought the vibrant but then I had the g2, nexus one, back to g2 then somebody traded me there brand new glacier for my used g2. Well I guess I'm going to have to pt out of my pocket in that case ill wait till the sgs2 comes out. Seems to be befier.
Sent from my HTC Gingerbread Glacier using XDA App
Well I wasn't due for an upgrade until last month, but they gave me an exception and thus a full upgrade when I bought the MT4G back in Nov. So if you call it's possible to get one.
Good luck on the early upgrade it could happen, as for my upgrade it's in august and i'm thinking if the mt4g slide don't have more then 1gb rom i will probaly just wait it out till either the hercules or Nexus 3 come out. I'm not hurting that bad anymore anyways, since i'm coming from a g1 upgrade, i got a sick deal for this current mt4g phone on craigslist that didnt require a 2 yr contract woot.
Yea might as well wait a lot of good phones are coming out. Mytouch slide I might not Get. Yea if no 1gig I'm buying something else. Ever since I got the mytouch 4g I've been running stock gingerbread I tried cm7 but I'm in love with faux aosp rom. Well till then lets see what happens. Thanks again guys for the response.

Galaxy Nexus

Who is thinking about getting this bad boy when it comes to Verizon? xD

Ummm, in my fantasies. My bank account disagrees, though.

I would just love to have gingerbread on this phone lol. I'm stuck with it until 2013.
I've had my upgrade eligibility since this past June just waiting for the perfect phone to arrive. At first the Galaxy N was definitely my first choice, but with the bugs that it seems to have I don't know anymore. I may just wait till they are all ironed out.
That said, I'm probably gonna get it anyway, hopefully when Verizon is still doing the double data deal. The only other 4G phones that interest me are the Razr and maybe the Rezound, but not really a fan of either "Blur" or Sense.
Until then I'm fine using my Continuum and Fascinate.
I'm planning in getting the Nexus (upgrade available yesterday). Just wish they would go ahead and announce it... Just don't want to be stuck without upgrades again.

Only bug I ever heard of would be the volume bug which only occured in 2G. No phone should ever be used in 2G lol. Luckily they did get that fixed up, and it's looking bug free now.
I was planning on getting the Nexus, but decided to jump on the Xperia Play for free over the Black Friday weekend... Loving it so far... Wish you guys could experience lag free Vanilla Gingerbread... It's smooth as butter.

Upgrading from the X

I am eligible to upgrade my X but since I just rooted it (running Gummy ICS coming from .621), it feels like a new phone. I have been thinking of getting the Galaxy Nexus as my next device. Should I wait to see what's coming out later this year? Will the Nexus price come down this summer?
Sent from my Kindle Fire using XDA
If your content with your current device, I recommend waiting.
I think there might be some fairly good phones coming out this summer.

I'm in the same boat, albeit running Liberty v3. What's the general feeling on the GNex? Seems buggy from what I've read, but the idea of not having to wait 6 months for updates to push out over carriers is appealing.

ive got a gnex and LOVE it (no bugs here) but id definitely recommend waiting. this is approximately the worst time ever to buy a new phone...

I know right. I'm hoping that the Droid "Fighter" will release with an unlockable bootloader. Or maybe, some miracle, Verizon will the Galaxy S 3.
Although what I am really hoping for is for the Galaxy Note to come to Verizon as the Galaxy Journal, as it was rumored to a few months ago.
Verizon never gets any phone love.

Day one user here too. Great phone. Just wish it had more RAM -if it wasn't for that, I'd have no problem keeping this phone and never upgrading. Especially with the extended battery I got for it.

Mine has only 1 year and 2 month, i'm waiting for official Cyanogen 10.1 nightlies ^^

Personally, I've had mine for 15 months, and it's been my best phone, not solely because of the hardware, but because of all the awesome developers. You guys make this phone the best!

Not since day one but did have gs1 the year prior to this phone's release. We tend to forget that this phone is practically identical to the galaxy s- a phone that remained technically unrivalled for about a year prior to the nexus release.

This is my 2nd android phone and first nexus device. I love it in so many reasons. Its performance and the community support have made me stick with android. Its sad that Google will no longer support it and the hardware is kinda outdated. But NS have given me the best android experience. I don't own gnex because I really love my NS.

The NS does look really nice, the Nexus One looked good too! The N4 looks so uninspiring. If that design came out 2 years ago, it would have been awesome...but going into 2013, it looks kinda bland

I could easily see myself buying a "Nexus S2" with the exact same form factor and just upgraded specs... like a dual-core processor and LTE!
Bought mine on release day 2 years ago today! Love this phone. Easily the most ergonomic phone I've ever held in my hand. It is just so comfortable. Still on the original battery, never changed it. No hardware issues (except for that slight green line on the left edge of the screen). A trooper of a phone that has held its ground. Bought into the Nexus program for the Google updates and I have not been disappointed. The dev community is carrying us into 4.2 and beyond. It's been a great 2 years for Android. Look how far we've come. What a ride the Nexus S has been on! GB>ICS>JB
Bought mine on the first day it came out two years ago. This phone has been a beast and omg the awesome development. Though I'm not using it now (I got a GS3 about a month ago), it carries on its glory in my brother's hands. He's loving it! It's sad to probably see development will stop after 4.2. This phone is what a true Nexus phone should be.
Happy Birthday Nexus S! ??

I've had this phone now for about 14 months and is hands down the beat phone experience I've had... Rooted within my first month of having it and was running custom ICS ROMs all the way up til my current 4.2.1 Rasbean Jelly ROM... I don't think development will continue for another two years... I DO think it will get KLP, by port from a dev of course... But the Android updates really starting to catch up to the specs of the phone and were starting to see its limits... I do believe development could easily continue for +2 years... But i just don't see devs sticking around that long...
