I am returning to the Incredible after dabbling with a Fascinate for a while. It just seems this thing will never die out. Developments has actually boomed since I was last here and that is great.
Much respect to the devs, you guys are awesome.

The original Incredible, the N1, and the Evo in my mind are the three pure Android phones that have cult status IMO.
Just got mine a couple weeks ago so hopefully it won't die out anytime soon!

I test drove the fanny too, and have to say it. The dinc crushes that phone. The dinc is like a Midwestern farmgirl, and the Fanny is like a Russian model. The dinc isn't quite as pretty, but when you need some heavy labor done, she goes like crazy until the task is done. While the Russian model looks at you with that pretty screen, and has no idea what you just asked her. ; )

Quite the comparison, haha.
i'm definitely not bored with it yet!! the only thing i think would improve it is 4G. other than that, i'll ride it to the end..
I have the Inc now (upgraded from the droid back in late March) and its a nice phone, but I definitely wish I had something more current (which I will come November). From a hardware standpoint its a nice phone with moderate hardware but from a modding standpoint it's not the top of the list since its still locked (and can be bricked, like my original one which I had for a week) and the hardware is showing its age when it comes to new software like Sense 3.

I believe you forgot the one that started it all: The Moto Droid.
What do you mean its locked? The inc1? Its easy as hell to root/s-off.
Hardware may be showing some age but the dev support is pretty good still.
And I'd second that about the OG Droid.

JoelZ has a Sense 3.0 ROM that runs beautifully on my dinc. No lagging, lots of free memory, its a solid daily.
The Dinc was and is my first android phone, got it when it came out last April.
Whenever I do move on, if its in December when I'm up for a new one, or later, its gonna be tough to move on. I've definitely been spoiled with the solidity of the phone and the ferocity of the dev community for it.
Im gettin a second for my gf. Anyone thay doesnt want thier dinc, im makin a stockpile to make mine last forever.
Youre looking at a crackflashing troll with ORD

I'm contemplating moving to the Tbolt or Inc2 but lack of Dual Core and CM7 is definitely stopping me. CM7 is keeping me nice and cozy with the Inc.
Im contemplating getting the Droid 3 but man oh man is it hard. $450 for it? Idk. The incredible has served me very well, and it still has a ton of life in it. All I need to do is give it some body work... like a new chassis. I abused this thing way too much haha.

Where did you hear $450?
Or is that assuming you can get $150 for your Inc and the Droid3 is $600?
I want that phone too. XD
Hahaha well the Droid x 2 is only 450... just a guess ha. But I've been reading and looking at the Sensation... oh so tempting. The Droid 3 just isn't as pretty and polished... but it has a keyboard... and Motorola is unlocking handsets now. I hate decisions.

Don't count on the Droid 3 to have anything less than an encrypted bootloader.

I tried doing a search and I don't think it has been posted but out of curiosity, anyone who has a Xoom - what is your phone model? I'm curious what the combo of Android devices are.
I have an EVO. I'm guessing EVO, Epic, the Droid 1/2/Global/, and Droid X will be what people carry the most with their Xoom.
And I can honestly say yes, the Xoom is really, REALLY, fast. Oddly enough, however, it doesn't make me feel like my EVO is slow as hell. That's usually what happens when I get used to a fast computer and then have to use a slower, older machine. Of course the EVO isn't that old, but the main difference between the processors seem to be the fluidity and quick/sharpness of opening programs, moving from screen to screen, etc.
Does anyone's Xoom make you wish your phone upgrade was just around the corner?
I was actually wondering what phone I'll get next. I think I'm eligible for an upgrade in the next 3-4 months. Since it's a company phone I have limited say in what the choice will be. At the moment I have the iPhone 3Gs and it works nicely with the Xoom. Let's see what will be out in summer

MT4G here.. And I can say that even running with the sense ROM, it is comparable with my xoom. Actually, sometimes it feels like my phone is snappier than my xoom that I end up rebooting the xoom. Or it could be just my imagination, I don't know..

Evo4G though
Using the Droid X. Had it since it first came out and am currently running Liberty 1.5. Always loved it and didn't feel like rebuilding things to try out CM again -- I tried CM when I first grabbed the X but ended up switching to Liberty after it's release -- I was very ROM trigger happy... After a quick 1.5 release I never looked back. Since the Xoom came out I've left the X alone and moved onto configuring the Xoom.

So I got the sesnation yesterday for 24 hours on TMOB. Took it back today. What a dissapointment.
Once again my Atrix has trumped a device IMHO. First the Inspire then the SGS2 and now the Sensation
. I always thought I preferred Sense but after Atrix plus launcherPro, Sense feels so heavy! PLUS Atrix runs video so much more smoothly than the sensation. Also sound on the sensation was really low, especially the spealerphone. Whites are better and I think images clearer and brighter on the Atrix. Camera is marginally better on Sensation. Battery much worse on Sensation. GPS about the same. Internal memory is worse with same apps on Sensation. I don't know why. Screen size difference is marginal.
Forget what quadrant says, when I ran the same apps on both the load up time was practically the same.
I has the SGS2 for a couple of weeks and I think that's better than the Sensation but I think the Atrix, with its HDMI out, and peripherals (hacked!) Beats them both.
This device is a workhorse. It can take everything I have thrown at it.
In glad I stuck with the Atrix.

Sorry to go off topic, but...
With the growing number of people the world over, loving the Atrix, surely Motorola will soon wakeup to them selves and unlock the bootloader when the Gingerbread upgrade is rolled out.
Also, Atrix with Launcher Pro... heavenly!!! (IMHO)

I love my x10 as well. Hell, i still use it when I go places where I know my phone has a greater chance to be damaged, like when I'm golfing or going to the beach. But there's no way that it's better than the Atrix or Sensation. Even with a custom rom, it's still massively slower compared to the newer generation of phones.

Still using mine, although i got a warranty exchange for a jankey usb port. what a trip it has been. went from stock eclair at release. I remember when ext2 was the shizzle. then to froyo w/o gps, then to froyo w/gps. Wow, you mean i can put a FFC in my phone! Holy crap, cm7 works now. Then 2.3 w/o gps, now 2.3.4 w/gps, ffc, ext4, streaming netflix, gtalk with video, gamehub, 10 lockscreen options, hulu, fun nordic names for my roms. will most likely stay with ol' bess for a while
Same here, got it on Juuly 16th 2010 and still using it. Great phone, well built, slim and feels like made from HQ plastic. Loved showing off the screen to droid X, iphone buddies
Sad to see a lot of devs leave. EDT also acquired G2X's. Hope they keep up the great work with Vibrant.
I use mine when I feel like flashing roms or just messing around. Since odin makes this thing pretty much unbrickable. I still love my vibrant great phone.

i also got mine in july last year. it had almost-working gps (better than some, but not as good at my old G1). i recently called tmo and made up some bull**** excuse to get a warranty replacement and now the gps locks faster than wifes G2 (but we'll see how long that last). either way, i'm much happier now and will be able to wait for quadcore goodness (whenever that will be) or at least until my contract is up.

Still using mine. Looking to get a FFC asap. Its a great phone honestly, I dont see the need to jump ship just yet, especially with these 2.3 roms with semi working GPS coming out. As soon as my contract expires this fall, i'll be switching to a no contract plan until the Att/T-Mobile merger either happens or doesn't next year. If it does, i'll end my service plan and move over to Sprint, if it doesn't, i'll probably still end up moving to Sprint once they have their 4G LTE up.

I'll admit it. I got impatient with the Atrix and switched to iPhone 4 within my 30 day return policy.
Mostly the reason I switched is because of Motoblur. First Motorola Android phone purchased. Yeah, I used Launcher Pro but it didn't "smooth" enough.
Now I'm regretting the switch since I saw the video on how to unlock the bootloader. I liked using differents ROMs. I change like I change socks. Once a week.
Hey all. I decided against going with the 3vo and went with the 4g (on the advice of a few sprint employee friends). I've had root on my hero since it was possible and finally just got tired of the phone itself. This phone is everything I knew it would be. SOME issues I've experienced but nothing all that bad. GV didn't work at all but it's working now and the voice option on the keyboard doesn't work. Oh well.
Anyways, I'm not at all a dev, but will be happy to give feedback on whatever rom (once root). For those who are working on root options...GOOD LUCK!!!
