My phone is defective. I need a new one. I'm going to bite the bullet and get an android phone. I'm 99% sure I'm going to get the HTC incredible, unless someone can convince me the Droid X is a better choice

If you have the Droid X, do you have Froyo on it? How is that?

If you have the Droid X or Evo, how's carrying it in your pocket?


I looked into Win 7 Mobile, but meh doesn't look like it's for me.

The size doesn't bother me (coming from an EVO).

The Incredible has Froyo as well, so don't see why that matters

The Droid X's UI from what I can see is pretty bad though, and development for custom ROMS/etc looks to be really small.

I would NEVER pay what they are asking for a cell-phone that's gonna be outdated in two months anyways. My phone is older, yet I find I rarely use it for anything except calling and texting (yes, though it is unfortunately redundant to be communicating through words and text on a PHONE, I still, like the rest of the world text.)

Besides, doesn't everyone in the world have a laptop now? What are you really going to do with your phone, everyone I know with a droid has failed to impress me with it, save having porn, which, in this day and age is not that special anymore.

Yeah, none of that was what I was asking about. Also a smart phone is going to be much better to deal with than a laptop during my daily travels.

You'r right, I just wanted to bring up porn on cell-phones and talk about how convenient it is.

I know that this guy at least knows what I'm talking about, Buddy Christ is down with cell-porn. :tfti:(Yeah, hes winking)

Your laptop is outdated in 2 months as well. Technology progresses, get over it. Besides, it's not exactly a stretch to keep a smartphone for 2 years easy, and with subsidization every two years you're always current.

Besides the fact that smartphones have the best implementation of texting, and have excellent phone capabilities... just because YOU rarely use it for anything else (likely because your phone CAN'T do anything else), doesn't mean it's the same for everyone.

My laptop doesn't fit in my pocket and go everywhere I do.

Common uses for smartphones:

1. GPS navigation
2. GPS-powered location searches (movies, restaurants, foursquare, weather, product searching, etc)
3. Streaming music/video, such as Pandora.
4. Google, and the web in general.
5. Email
6. Far better contact integration, with Facebook, Twitter, Exchange, IM services, Calendar, etc.
7. Games
8. Camera


And then some more novel uses that I do on a regular basis:
1. Control my XBMC wirelessly.
2. Remote Desktop.
3. Wireless tethering for my laptop when there's no internet around.
4. Dropbox
5. Document editing (Word, Excel, etc)
6. Shazam (seriously, has anyone else used this? It's amazing. It listens for 15 seconds, and tells you the name of whatever song it's able to hear. Even works fairly well in loud bar scenarios)
7. Synced notes
8. Emulators and Flash video for entertainment on the go

If none of that interests you at all or seems worthwhile, well, good for you. The rest of us will embrace the future

You guys love your cell phones, I get it now.

I Herby ban myself from phone related threads forever...

You've made your point.

Google Calendar + Simplenote = all my organisation taken care of. I can access and edit my todo list and calendar any time any place. I cannot see myself ever going back from this simple setup.

(I have an iPhone, but should hell freeze over and I get a different smartphone I can easily port my "life" to any other smart device)

Shazam is the biggest load of crap I have ever downloaded.

It worked great while it was free and is now severely throttled. It probably works if you pay for it but the free version barely ID's effing Lil' Wayne songs for christs sake.

The free version and the paid version ID exactly the same way, the only limitation is how many songs you can tag a month?

In any case, I've had no issues, even now. I've had it pick up new songs, weird songs, old old songs, songs in noisy environments, etc.

Also, if you had it before it became paid, you should have unlimited tagging anyway...

The actual verizon song ID app is far superior to that crapload they call Shazam. Which being a verizon app, is really saying something.

I don't know what that is, but I've seriously never had problems with it. It's always been accurate.

Hi from my new incredible!!

Root time!

HTC FTW! Now, go find yourself a sweet new ROM.
