cya motorola - you win.

Droid X is sold, bought a fascinate.
Tired of lacking full root, needing SBF's, fake AOSP, and inability to use 3rd party kernels. This all really destroyed what I considered the best phone ever released.
Great job on the eFuse Motorola! I'll never buy another phone again unless it's fully rooted first.

hopefully you also posted this on moto's own DX forums where it would have more desirable impact for you

Haha I six the same. The fascinate has shoddy sour e, great devs abd who knows when it will get froyo let alone gingerbfead. I am a admin in the fascinate irc chat and bc la k of true source, la k of froyo and lots of bugs im back with my x and my dinc( can't decide ) I love miui on the dinc. Trust me fas inats has awesome harware. You are going to regret that decision. I would rather have a lo led bootmoaxer than horse shot software u can't do anything with.

I definitely agree with you protesting with your wallet, but telling us won't help as much as you sending them an email and posting in there forums.

I miss my Dinc. The X is nice, but man I am missing full root myself. Although, I am sure something better is around the corner. I will hold out.

yeah i had a fascinate for 1 day (basically got it for a cheap price on craigslist so i could either sell or trade for an x) that fascinate was quick but boy that ui sucks. no google? thats even more dumb. i love my x. i had one for a couple months and sold it thinking i was gonna break it in a rough environment i started working in, but now i have another one and won't change til something way better comes out... HTC Merge maybe???

I don't have these problems. Why you might ask well im not rooted I use the phone for what it does and that's a lot. Not a fan of rooting. I see to baby problems with that stuff. I realy on my phone to work when I need it to. Just my two cents. I had the vibrant before this and its the worst phone i've ever had sanding does not take care if there phones. When will it get 2.2? Its six months behind most phones. You are getting rid of one of the best phones out because you can't root it like you want must be nice to mess with a phone then decide to just get something else. I can only afford to buy one phone so I don't mess with it. I mess this phone up I will then be using a very old non smart phone for my new phone. Now I know that there are really cool things that a rooted phone can do but if its not broken don't fix it. Unfortunately im in the minority with this.

This made me laugh. I thought the exact same thing. Maybe he was trying to use Swype for the first time or something?
I didn't like my X in the beginning before it was rooted. I hated the blur except for a few apps (Alarm, Camera, etc.), but now that I'm rooted and running Fission I'm more than happy with it.

This Phone Won't Die

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

sure at the right price ;-)

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.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

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.

Stay Strong, People!

Yes, I see you, you sexy little thing you, teasing me with your dual core specs, super AMOLED+ screen, and accurate GPS, working that pole at the Galaxy S..tripper Cabaret.
Last time around, you sucked all the money out of my wallet. True, you screwed me afterwards, but you screwed all my friends, too, you cheap little whore. You went on to imply that you were going to always be there for me and my friends. Turns out you decided to sleep with all of Europe and the rest of the world, plying them with your gingerbread cookies, but what do I get? Not even a happy ending.
You never even came back to the States. Nope, you stayed in Europe after that plastic surgery a few months ago, showing everyone else your new facelift and big tits, giving everyone else a taste of the new you. Now that they've had their way with you, you decide to come back to the States and try to entice me.
You're out of my life, Samsung. I'm not sure even an ice cream sandwich would whet my appetite. I'm gonna go out with my new friends, HTC & LG. Hell, I might even make a bong out of an apple. But I'm not going to give you a hit, Samsung.

yea and the facelift ect doesnt look as good as you did all rectangular. the corners were sharp now you are curved like the nexus s.

Very creative OP!
You should write bedtime stories for children.

As I had stated in another thread, I could not go with another brand of phone. I could certainly go with another carrier without an issue, especially with the T-mob acquisition from ATT. I will never go with ATT, nothing but bad experiences with them.
The reason I will stay with Samsung are as follows.
More local storage, more app storage, more memory, better screen, gorilla glass and finally, faster phone in general. This is my experience and from watching specs it does not seem like this will change either.
This is the experience I have had, granted I started my android foray with the Vibrant and have only used friends phones for other models to test for short whiles, rarely more than a day.

"Eagle". Interesting.
I think we're all already calling it the "LTEvo", though .

Ooohhhhh. I like that LTEvo. Like the way it rolls off the tongue. Hadn't heard it before. (EvoLTE, -like 'eVolt' - is nice, too, though, I think)
And why E4GL? Is eagle it's code name (like 'supersonic') or something?
Thanks for preorder page.

I second that LTEvo sounds great.

Can't wait. Don't know why people are freak'n out about the look. Seriously, this phone is packing extras that the htc one x doesn't have. Bigger Battery, removable sd card, a kickstand.
All I'm worried about is how much is going to cost me to get this phone. I have the EVO 3D now and it will only be a year into my contract by the time the LTevo is out. Does anyone know how this works, need to prep

Anyone else going mad about sprint announcing this like 2 mo in advance?! My god, the wait is killing me. (I remember the same thing for OG Evo, too, though). Every day, looking at pictures you've already looked at 1,000 times, Googling for any new info every few hrs. It feels like forever already.
(Still, gotta say I'm back and forth regarding the aesthetics. Sometimes I think it's gorgeous, then sometimes I wish the lines were more like the OG Evo, which I still think is one of the sexiest phones available)

Agreed I can't wait.
I completely dismiss the look cause i have a tendency to mod my casings. And any time an ugly phone comes out that is worth the hardware in it. There tends to be alot of modders coming up with different options to pimp out the phone.
How epic would it be if some one made a clear cover for the top/back half?
Cant wait to see what the modding community has in-store for this awesome phone.

can't wait till it is released and I go to work on modding the shiny black cover into something more of my liking..lol

This phone may just bring me back from the "darkside"
Speaking off, do we have a dedicated sub-forum for this phone yet?

Also, I truly hope someone makes a 3rd party covering for the SD card that is a matte black finish so those fingerprints don't go all over.
Speaking of cases, are there any that are advertised yet? Or does it usually take a while? I've never bought a phone on release day - this is killing me!

Hasta La Vista

The Epic was my first smartphone, so it will always have a special place in my heart, however, the time has come for me to get a new device. I got the Optimus G yesterday and it is amazing. I don't have the Epic anymore, so I probably won't do a whole lot more for it unless someone asks me to make a ROM that is unique from the other ROMs available (IE: I will not spend time making a ROM that looks and behaves nearly identically to CM, considering that we already have great CM builds). The loss of the keyboard is surprisingly not as difficult as I would have guessed. I hope to see some of you over at those forums, but to the ones who I don't, I will miss you.

I've been here since the Epic came out, and it's been a good run. My Epic's usb port has finally succumbed to the ravages of time, making it nearly impossible to charge - looks like I'll be moving on the gs3 forums soon. Usually, an upgrade is entirely a good thing, but I will definitely miss this community. I'm not trying to hijack Jake's thread, but I haven't done enough to warrant a thread of my own, lol
So back on topic - xboxfanj, thanks for everything you did to make an awesome phone even better.

By the time I saw your suggestion, I already had my S3, so I didn't get a chance to check out the Optimus. I like the S3 though, so it's all good (trying to swap phones now would be more of a hassle than the account holder is willing to go through, lol). I must say that while I will always miss my hardware keyboard, the larger screen on the S3 makes it easier to live with. I'm rooted but holding out with the stock rom for a bit so I can properly assess the improvements on the custom roms (and so I can finish this semester without more distractions - playing with a new phone is more than enough of a distraction already lol)
Kenny - I think I'll be headed for the People's Rom first
