must..... resist..... the..... HYPE..... !!!!

I will probably own this phone sometime next month. I can't stand my current phone anymore. But it all comes down to if I'm willing to pay the forced data plan.

Do I have to get unlimited or are there smaller data plans?

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #251 on:** April 21, 2010, 11:06:58 PM »

It's a minimum $29.99 plan (which is unlimited...which is really 5GB, no matter which carries you're on). It's basically par for the course with any smartphone on any carrier nowadays though. I say it's worth it though, I use my data plan every day.

My girl tried to surprise me with a Droid and she says they were gonna give her a $10 month Data plan. I said that there was only a $30 minimum data plan, but she said I was wrong. I haven't been to a Verizon store in a while, so I didn't really want to argue the point if that is what the rep had told her.

There is a $10 data plan, I have it. BUT accoding to Verizon's website and the two Verizon stores I talked to, the Droid requires the $30 a month unlimited data plan.

When I eventually get a smart phone I'm only going to consider unlimited data plans because I know I'll use it a lot and I don't want to ever chance going over on a data plan.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #255 on:** April 22, 2010, 12:50:56 PM »

Well, I get a 19% discount, so it will only be about $24 a month, but I don't know how much I'll actually use my data plan right now considering how much time I actually spend out of the house and/or on my phone.

I've had these features for a while thanks to custom builds, but it's great that it's going out to everybody. Hopefully, Verizon won't delay this version for as long as they did with 2.1 http://techcrunch.com/2010/05/13/exclusive-google-to-add-tethering-wifi-hotspot-to-android-2-2-froyo/

LG Ally? Yay or nay?

I have a question.

Since you got your shiny new iPhone/Android, has your attitude towards the network changed? Are you more concerned about having unlimited data and texts rather than unlimited mins anymore? Do you see the network (e.g. AT&T) for how much interweb you can get rather than mins now?

Would you be willing to leave T-Mobile and go to AT&T, or whoever else, at the first sign of shittyness or just buy the phone outright (ala the Evo 4G) and go whoever suits you best?

I'm more interested in a better data connection and it working all times and will switch if it don't work

O.M.G. I just picked up the new HTC EVO 4G and the screen is GINORMOUS.

it's almost the size of my LG Dare, and I'm just talking the size of the screen. It's beautiful.
Does the HTC Incredible that large of a screen too?

The blacked out screen of the HTC EVO also makes for a much better mirror than the Dare since the dare screen does some double imagery on the reflection.

I haven't played with it much yet, but I'm just wowed at the size of the screen vs what I'm used too.

Well for better or worse, I have Flash installed. Froyo makes the phone run really smoothly.

Pale · « **Reply #261 on:** June 08, 2010, 03:56:13 PM »

Does Froyo allow for more than 3 screens of apps? =P

MegaByte · « **Reply #262 on:** June 08, 2010, 04:32:15 PM »

It has 5 default with the 3D launcher. I haven't used the old launcher for a long time, so I kind of forgot it was an issue (there are launchers on the market that have customizable screen numbers).

i m posting this now from the htc EVO 4G. this craps all over the laptop i was using, so much faster and smoother. most of this post is done with voice to text.

Just when I thought I had decided on the HTC Incredible - I find out about the Verizon (Motorola) Droid X. It's basically an HTC Evo (without the 4G, I assume) for Verizon. Everything else known about it is basically the same - 8.0MP camera, 4.3" screen, HDMI out, 1Ghz SnapDragon CPU (though it may actually be a 750Mhz IMAP, but I can't imagine Motorola not going to 1Ghz with the DI out). I'll have to wait for some more specs, but this was quite a surprise.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #265 on:** June 13, 2010, 12:31:53 PM »

I'm so glad I've been slow to upgrade. I really hope they go with the 1GHZ snap dragon and basically have a Moto EVO 4V[erizon].

How is the Moto Blur UI? I've been getting a little familiar with Sense and Android in general, so I'd like to know how it compares.

MegaByte · « **Reply #266 on:** June 13, 2010, 03:04:15 PM »

These new phones are gigantic. Even the Droid was larger than my last phone... How's the EVO 4G working out for you in that respect?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #267 on:** June 13, 2010, 06:47:53 PM »

EVO 4G is great. I've said this many times but it makes my phone (LG Dare) look like a cheap plastic iPod Touch knock off that plays low quality mp3's and grainy video. After extend play with the phone, mu phone seems small, cheap and very very limited (since it's not a smart phone)

I find excuses to use my girls phone over mine all the time. The internet is very viewable and the larger screen allows me to actually use the onscreen keyboard and type pretty dam quick without many mistakes. For comparison, on my phone, I have to type slow since buttons other than the one I'm trying to push get pushed. The EVO onscreen keyboard (especially in landscape) is very easy to use, pushing links on websites is also very easy too.

I want an EVO 4V and DroidX looks like the phone I've been waiting for as long as the (rumored) 750mhz chip is on par with the 1Ghz SD in the EVO 4G.

I want a Verizon phone but I can't find a carrier in my area.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #269 on:** June 18, 2010, 02:38:55 PM »

Like I predicted (it may have been in a different thread, but it's more relevant here), because AT&T did it, Verizon is considering moving to a tiered, limited data plan model.

Shaymin · « **Reply #270 on:** June 18, 2010, 11:09:08 PM »

Not surprised. Cell phone companies move in packs on this stuff.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #271 on:** June 19, 2010, 01:57:08 AM »

I have an unlimited plan, and always use 2 or 3GB a month, so that would suck dick. As long as I never have to change my plan, then I don't care as much, but it's still bullshit.

Spinnzilla · « **Reply #272 on:** June 23, 2010, 02:21:07 AM »

I recently got my first smart phone. It's not the greatest smart phone in the world but I got it at a steal, it's the Mytouch 3G Slide. But man, oh man, do I love the android OS. Suck it iPhone.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #273 on:** June 26, 2010, 10:56:24 AM »

**** yes!
Verizon is "pulling an iPhone" and letting anyone whose contract expires this year upgrade to the Droid X when it's released. Sign me up, motherfucker.

BTW, it's out July 15th, and it does have the 1Ghz OMAP processor. Needless to say, but I need to wipe the semen from my monitor right now.
Specs get!
24GB (8GB onboard, with 16GB microSD included and expandable up to 40GB [and higher when bigger microSD cards are out I would assume] - suck it, iPhone) storage, 8MP camera, 854x480 4.3" capacitive multi-touch touch screen, 720p recording/playback with slow motion and fast motion (that's fucking awesome), 8 open browser windows at once...and it's Android, so that alone makes it awesome. Free Google Maps w/ turn-by-turn directions, of course. Man I was so set on the Droid Incredible...but now I'm glad I waited.
