Can't do it...

Edit:
Well I lied...
I brought home a loaner X to check dbm readings against my facinate. The X is -15 to -20dbm better everywhere in my house which has the new 2nd generation verizon network extender. I think I am going with the X until April when my upgrade is due. My advice to anyone trying to decide between the 2 is, if you live and work where you have a strong verizon signal the facinate is great. If you have less than average signal (like I do) get the X. The voice and speaker quality is also better on the X.
Good luck

To make a long story short. I can trade my facinate in for another Incredible or a Droid X due to reception issues. If the Inc had a 4" display I might consider it but it doesn't and I can't wait until the Inc HD is out (My verizon store won't let me wait that long). After messing with my friends X, the picture or screen seems very "washed out" not near as vibrant as the facinate. I'm sticking it out and banking on Samsung to step up and support this phone more than they have done in the past on my previous Samsung phones...

Verizon upgrade

I have Verizon and will be eligible for an upgrade this time next month. I have the incredible right now but am wondering what I should upgrade to. Are there supposed to be any phones coming with in the next month that will be worth upgrading to? Let me know what you think. Thanks

I wouldn't upgrade to anything that is getting the VZ8 upgrade...Just sayin

Verizon is supposed to, some time this month, get a successor to the Incredible 2, the Incredible 4G or HTC Fireball. Think their version of the One X that would be your best bet

I'm in the same boat as you. There's a few choices coming up, with my opinions alongside of each.
-Moto Droid Fighter - Specs aren't released, but looks like a well built phone. I've never been into moto blur, but I am considering it.
- Samsung Galaxy Journal - Verizon's version of the note. Old hardware in my opinion. The note has been out for a long time internationally.
- HTC Fireball - Rumored to just be a budget relative of the Incredible series. Budget phone is a no go for me. I need top of the line specs. I doubt this will be a One series device.
I'm hoping with all that I have that Verizon decides to go with the Galaxy SIII. Pretty promising to have some great specs like the GSII when it came out. I can't tell you how pissed I'd be if Verizon missed out again... So if I were you, I'd definitely wait a little bit.

I think that you definitely shouldn't rule out the Droid Razr Maxx. It has awesome battery life, is pretty thin and is getting ICS soon, if you care. But you could say that I have a biased opinion.

I'm up too in early May at Verizon, but willing to wait another month or so until the right phone comes out. I need a phone that's at least 5" and has a stylus. That leaves me with zero choices and just one rumor. Yeah my life sucks.

Just don't get a Razr and they do this to you:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDxJoGv3FLA&feature=channel if you use 12GB.

I have the Galaxy Nexus and absolutely love this phone. My first android phone was the nexus one and now this phone. Have found vanilla android the only way to go after playing with friends HTC phones. But then again I love installing custom rom's, maybe that's not as important to you.

Verizon android phones,new htc?

So currently I have a tbolt and its on its last leg. Everytime its time for me yo upgradr it seems like its always that transition period where its a while before any great new devices. Well I need an android device now. Not to thrilled about going with a moto device even if the maxx has great battery life. Nexus just doesnt seem well built. The lg spectrum looks good spec wise. Wondering if I root it to get rid of that terrible lg sw will be ok or should I just get an improved tbolt and go with the rezound. I really want an htc one x but mo timeframe vzw will be getting. Opinions on the spectrum? Rezound? Or anyone heard when they will be getting some new top of the line devices

You cannot go wrong with the Rezound.
Best signal of any phone I've ever used.
Development is getting going quicker now since we now have S-OFF.
It's a really underrated phone as it got lost in the Nexus/Razr Maxx craze and now the newer phones.

Totally agree.. rezound is.like a lost treasure. It's easily the best phone on the market. That's what happens with ****ty advertising. Verizon got more money to push the gnex and razor.

When exactly did they push advertising for the GNex? Retailers didn't even know the phone was supposed to be released on the release day. They advertise nothing but moto. I had to go to 4 different stores to get mine because they weren't sure if they could release it. Lol, vzw for ya.

The Rezound is a solid option great form factor. I've played around with the Razr maxx and it's shortcoming is it is a little too wide. I think Verizon is waiting to decide if they will carry the new HTC One X series so your options are the Rezound or the razr maxx at the moment.

They did announce the Droid Incredible 4G LTE at CTIA...

You're right! Looks like it is supposed to come out this month.

Verizon's CEO put out a press release specifying that they won't be getting any of the new HTC phones within the foreseeable future.
The Rezound has great development going on with it and is definitely a quality device. If you're getting a phone now it's what I'd recommend. VZ is going Nazi style on their Moto bootloaders so that's definitely something I wouldn't buy myself.

I would upgrate now before they take your unlimited data away.

you can`t compare , HTC - Simply the best !

The last of a dying breed 2013: When will you submit to the carrier for a new device

With sprint taking pre orders for the iPhone 5 and also including new devices are being sold, when will you give in?
As much as we upgrade the rom to keep up with what's on the newer devices, is becoming quite hard finding a rom that has everything included. There will always be a sacrafice whether its 4g, stable camera etc. Developers have really out done themselves with such great roms but its the evo hardware that drive compatibility issues.
How many will enter 2013 sending a happy new year text from the original evo 4g, or will some of you switch before making that new years Eve toast....

I'm up for an upgrade in November. Looking at moving up to the LTEVO, SGS III or Galaxy Nexus. Probably going to hand my OG EVO down to my son.
Definitely not going to anything that starts with an "i".

I'm stuck till April of next year, but that gives me time to test out the sg4.

I can upgrade right now and I'm thinking about it, but even so, 249 + activation charge is still not cheap

Well my contract ends in April, so probably until then. We'll see what the next best phone will be around then for Sprint.

Get the EVO 4g LTE! I jumped the OG EVO ship and I'm never looking back!
PS. Screw the iPhone 5

Yea my upvrade is in april next year too :/
But on the bright side, I might be able to get the next evo!

My upgrade is up. Still between the LTEVO or S3. Its a real honest tough choice. I will say I do see more dev activity on the LTEVO vs S3. Just hard to choose. Lol

Don't know. Sprint has been slow getting 4G at least here in Los Angeles and I hate paying for 4G and not getting it. My friend's Verizon device simply flies. I know Verizon is a bit more expensive but damn their coverage is superb. According to some study I read online, even metropcs is beating Sprint on 4G. My contract is up in November so just sround the corner. Costco has some good Verizon phones and no activation fees.

I got a good year still left. But with the supposed HTC One X+ coming up, doesn't sound too bad with that tegra quad-core.

I'm always behind on my contract when new phones come out. I end up getting the about a year after they are released Hopefully I will be able to correct this soon, and yea I will probably be getting rid of my evo the first opportunity available

While the OG is getting a little long in the tooth, I still find mine quite useable and flash a new rom from these amazing devs about once a week. When development dries up here, that's when I'll start looking for something else. The gf is jumping ship for the iP5 [rolls eyes] after having her Evo for over 2 years. I feel sorry for people who are still running a stock, non-rooted OG with the Sprint base rom. This phone really shines once it's tweaked and modded a bit.
Holdin' out for the next Nexus and hoping it's a Motorola or HTC build.

I'm almost 6 months past my contract end with Sprint.... And am not looking to switch carriers. With development doing what it is doing...... I don't really feel an urge to jump. I switch back and forth between a few roms... Decks... Classic.... DK's Jackpot..... all of them keep me feeling like I have a brand new phone.
HTC vs SIII ... hmmm.... I'm following the forums here and watching who shows up where.
and while I'm here... Thanks to all the developers who just keep on banging out new tricks and new tweaks. It sure makes it fun.

Shh man just don't use the evo to record an unboxing of your girlfriend's iPhone 5 and put it on youtube...lol
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I jumped ship about 2 weeks ago and got myself an Evo V (Evo 3D) on Virgin Mobile. It's a nice little step up from the OG. The OG was treating me just fine and I would have been content to stay with it longer, but I have some cracks in the housing (around the power and volume buttons of course) and wanted to decrease my monthly bill. I think this new to me but already dated phone will last me for another couple years just fine.
The OG is still going strong though. I just got it an HDMI cable and coupled with my datel retro wireless controller (it's like a wii classic controller with wii remote built in to it) it is enjoying life as a dedicated gaming device now. Ouya!

Ha, nah not me man. I just don't get the whole unboxing phenomena but I'm sure YT will be flooded with all the iSheep unboxing vids come Friday morning.
By this winter we should probably hear of some worthy candidates to replace our OGs but right now nothing is really tempting me. Also, I hate that everything is itching toward 5" screen size. Too big IMO. Just stop it already OEMs!!

November as well. werd.
honestly what dissuaded me from the iphone the most was the smaller screen. seems trivial to some, and my iFanboy bf thinks my Evo is huge. **** I'd get a Note II if they had it on Sprint, lol. S3 looks frickin sweet, though I shall miss my OG... I'll most likely sell it back to Sprint for a discount on my renewal. Sucks they're only giving about $60 for OG Evo's now "no respect, no respect!!"

as much as i wanted to wait for the iPhone 5, i bailed early and got the SGS3. for those of considering staying HTC; best of luck to you in Brick city.

Own more than one?

Anyone here own more than one Moto X? I have one and am thinking about ordering a second one before the sale ends today.

Why? And why not?
Sent from Moto X

Just wondering if anyone else out there enjoys this phone enough to buy another one. Especially, considering this could be the last great Motorola phone to grace our palms (dependent on what Lenovo does of course).

Is the sale ending today ?I mean the 399$ sale?

The $70 off unlocked Moto X sale is supposed to end today.
16gb - $329.
32gb - $379.

I have two of them. Makes it much easier to experiment. I have bought all of mine off of craigslist though for great deals so I can sell them for more then I paid if needed.(already done that with one)

I accidentally have two

3 Here. Started out by ordering one for my Daughter when we were switching to T-Mobile from VZW... figured it'd be an ok 'starter device'.
After the wife and I put it through it's paces for 4-5 days.. we decided to order 1 for each of us as well.

We have 2 in the house, wife liked mine and got one a month later.

No. That sounds like a very foolish idea.

I have two. One I bought as a spare when they were $350.

I have a white/olive one and a black/ebony on the way. I also have a Maxx. My daughter and son both have moto xs.

Got one for the wife and like it so well that I talked VZW into upping my contract date three Months so I could retire my HTC Rezound. Chris

My family finally upgraded our plan last month (Our plan was so old, Best Buy's computer system couldn't handle it) and we all got Motomaker Moto Xs.

I got one to replace my broken Droid DNA and I love it so much, both my wife and my mom were jealous of the stuff it can do. My wife just got one and my mom is thinking about it.

If I got a second one it probably be for the wooden back. I dont see a practical reason to have two phones. Unless your drug dealer

Some need more than one for work. Some need another as a back-up because they are prone to destroying things by accident. Some just want more than one. There's three.

I understand having more than one phone for personal use...if you have nothing better to spend money on....but it makes more sense to me if they're two different phones. That's just me tho.
I will have 2 soon actually ...but one will be the wife's.
