So here's my story. I have the fascinate now, got it when it came out & have another year to go to upgrade. The froyo update has created pretty significant missed call issues that vzw is addressing by offering a switch to the DInc2 or the X2. My wife has the Dinc1 & I had the eris before so I'm familiar with sense ui. How does this phone compare to them or to the X2? I'm looking for input before I make my choice.

I cannot speak for the DX2, but I for one love my DInc2. It's the perfect size, and has the perfect feel for the hand. The processor is lightning quick; keep in mind that this is the next generation Snapdragon. Even though it's not Dual Core, it's still really fast!
You get a great camera, still a good screen, and a front facing camera which you do not have on the DX2. The DX2 has a qHD display, but from what I've heard, and this is hearsay and opinion, it's not that great. I don't like Blur, and I came from a Stock Android OG Droid, so Sense was the better choice for me.
Battery life isn't the best I've seen, but it's also not the worst. Depends on usage, but I can get through most of the day with it. Gingerbread helps here, and also makes the phone even faster than it was with Froyo. I would recommend the DInc2. Good luck!
i came from the fascinate, as did my wife, and i can tell you we're absolutely happy with the dinc2. i'm on CM7 nightly, she's running gingersense (she doesn't know that, she thinks she's full stock. shhhh.) it's so much better than the fascinate in every way.
if you liked the fascinate's screen, then the DX2 won't be good enough. the incredible 2's screen is pretty comparable.
Bro as much as I loved my fascinate, I had the same issues with missed calls. Took 3 replacements to finally get offered something else. Dinc2 or the x2. I'm not a fan of the x's so I chose the dinc 2. This phone literally ****s on the fassy. I have not experienced any bugs. Now that it's rootable it's even more beast. The screen isn't super amoled . But, it looks great. The difference in screens really seems to be black. It looked better on the fassy but every other color looks better on dinc 2

I'm in the same boat as everyone here....I had the fassy and couldn't handle the missed calls so when I called it was this or the droid x (not x2) for free or I could upgrade early and sign a new 2yr contact. which I thought about cuz I too have a yr left on my current contact. (really thought I wanted the droid charge) I have never been happier that I picked the inc 2.
When I first started looking into the support for this phone I thought I made a mistake as it seemed like there was none and as you know the fascinate community was full of ppl and devs. But now that we have root this is by far the best phone out (imo) and has plenty of amazing devs who have really brought out its potentially.

My wife has the fassy an I have the dinc2. nothing an no rom can fix the fassy. Its a awesome screen but its terrible other than that. I'm trying to get her on a dinc2.

I got the free with no contract swap from Fascinate to DInc2 and do not regret it now that we are rooted and flashing away!
Fascinate does have a slightly better screen and a better external speaker but the DInc2 beats it everywhere else!

I went into VZW they other day to exchange my Fascinate for the Dinc 2. A buddy did the same thing and his Dinc is awesome. Definitely not regretting my decision. I'm waiting very anxiously for the Fed Ex man to bring a present to my door now...

to me the answer is HECK YEA!
my wife has the o.g Facinate from release date and at first it was very cool but the whole rooting process and ODIN over time has become such a P.I.T.A!
ive gone from a ton of blackberry's and winmo devices to > eris > inc 1 > inc 2..
im not looking back and only looking forward to whats next in the Inc series.
functionality, speed and even the new features such as dual cam's and etc are what make this badboy the leader of the new school!
MY fiance had a fascinate on our family share plan and I just gave a courtesy upgrade so she could get a new phone. I wish I would have tried this first and then given her the upgrade. I wonder if I activate the fascinate on my line if they would let me swap it for a dInc 2. Does anybody know if Verizon would do this?

By the way guys when you call for the replacement make sure you tell them you need the battery. Cover and charger. Most likely they are sending out cpo devices and they don't come with any of that stuff.

Wish I could've seen that where I live but every dinc2 I saw at the vzw stores had the same -dbm (or close) as my fascinate showing only 2 bars. The only phone in either store with full bars and >-75dbm was the dx2. After dealing with this so long I couldn't see myself with another Samsung device. I won't necessarily miss the phone but I will miss the devs & community.

The Incredible1 had an amazing def community. the inc2 is slowly getting one
i just had to do it lol .. not bad at all imo
You switched? I said I wasn't thinking about it..but now I am.
My phone pissed me all the way off today. Unplug from 10am at 99%...at 2pm I'm at 25%. 25!!!!!! And from 10am to 2pm, I was in my class for an hour and didn't even touch my phone. That's basically 4 ****in hours. 4! I'm still pissed. I've been pissed all day. Let me know how that phone is.
Edit: And you'll probably get flamed for this. People might come in and be like "THE EFF THIS GOTTA DO WITH THE E4GT!!" and this will probably get closed...if it does, pm me. I really want to know about the iPhone
Don't give two ****s about the iPhone. Enjoy being a sheep. And imo, you're trolling.
im loving this phone so far i got the 32 gig i have had all the top sprint phone 3d , photon, and the epic touch ......only thing i miss from my epic is the screen size ... so far speed very fast. better cam better screen i will update on batter life later
Not me. But, I know my daughter wants one. I will do it once the prices drop on Ebay for a clean ESN one off contract. I myself will NEVER own APPLE. It amazes me how people hated M$ years ago and now Apple is doing the same and it's ok. But to each his own. Hope it treats you well. My sister loved hers.
i am a fan of tech, not companies. If an apple product fit my needs from a phone standpoint, i would make the switch no questions. Right now, ET4G is what i am digging, but if you get what you need with an iphone great!

That is the way I also think.....I would switch if the 4s came out with a 4.0-4.5 screen, had a 4g radio would be even better if it had SuperAmoled. Right now it would be a downgrade for me on what I want out of a phone.
if it had 4.3" screen and wimax, I would have bought one
but for now, especially since its off contract, and id need at least 32gb.....who has $749 for a phone lol
Ill wait for the iphone 5 LTE version I guess
What a mistake
Just got my iphone 4s in the mail today and i regret it already after 5 hours,this os is so lame and boring theres nothing to it got to spoiled on android with customizing everything,not much different from when i had the very first iphone.forgot about no flash too wtf was i thinking listening to all these paid off reviewers that always give it over rated reviews and the pics are good but not as good i dont care what anyone says.pics i have take with my epic 4g touch are cleaner,brighter,sharper and better even when compared on my desktop,even with the random minor issues my 4g touch had it is still better by far.every issue could but fix with updates that should be around the corner.iphone 4s is a mistake and waste of money unless u like no flash or sd slot or just dont like doing cool things to the appearance of your phone,very plan os.selling on ebay tonight already reconnected my epic 4g touch,now i will never leave android.
you have been warned!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did the opposite 4 weeks ago, went from iphone on att to epic 4g touch. Happy that I did for many of the same reasons listed above, also the screen size, camera quality, etc..

I've had mine for about a week now (came from and EVO) I have no complaints whats so ever........... Your mileage may vary.......
Its a good device coming from the Evo. Its has a few issues like the Loss of service, but I did experience that until I rooted the device so I dont blame it on the phone.
The one problem that I do have is that it wont play most games for more than 10 to 15 minutes. But I use it for reading more than anything else and sprint and samsung are suppose to be releasing a patch next month.
I would say stop calling it the SGS2 (which, I know, it is) and get used to ET4G. If for nothing else than to know that if something is labeled SGS2 that you should. not. flash. it.
As far as QWERTY goes? Pffft. I was so worried when I got my Evo that I was going to miss QWERTY. I didn't have the Hero long enough to get used to it, then I got the Moment and got used to it (that keyboard sucked anway)....but the transition took, oh, a week or two. That was a year and a half ago and I've never regretted ditching the real keyboard. There are hundreds of 'em. Find one you like. I go back and forth between Swype and SwiftkeyX and can haul major ass on both....especially Swype. SwiftKeyX is totally worth whatever it costs. If you let it read your texts, emails and Facebook posts it's prediction is simply amazing. You barely even have to try being precise.
This phone is the epic now... If you like your keyboard, turn the phone landscape, then the keys r bigger than my gfs physical keys on the og epic

I got it last Tuesday and love the phone and size. Im using the "Go Launcher" and LOVE IT, amazing how easily it is to make your beautiful looking and functional. The only problem Im having is LOS. And battery life is not that good either but , what can you expect from a dual Core phone with a big ass screen. You can tweak it with SetCpu. But Im still trying to find the best configuration so i can have a optimal battery life.
But i must say the phone is amazing and also it also lets you uninstall a lot of the preloaded apps without rooting, something other phones and carriers wont permit.

If you are coming from the Moment you will love this device. I had the moment for 6 months but I had to get rid of it because I hated it. I went to the and loved that until my charger port broke. Got this as a replacement. This is better than the Evo, considering the screen is excellent. Also it is so much lighter and thinner than the Evo and Touchwiz is not as bad as people make it out to be.
The only problem with it that I have had is the sound bug which causes some games to just quit.

Here's a little devil's advocate.
I bought the ET4G on a whim after seeing it on Craigslist for an attractive price. After using it for a week, it's going back on Craigslist and I am using my OG Epic again w/ the new Gingerbread release (and physical keyboard fixes!).
While the ET4G certainly offers a snappier Android experience and a better camera than the OG Epic, I didn't find the boost in speed or extra screen real estate to be worth the $325 I paid for the device. I think the only speed boost worth writing home about was the speed of the ET4G's stock browser. Lastly, the audio quality of SGSII is inferior to SGSI and in all honesty not worthy of a high end smartphone - this was the deal breaker for me.
Considering that you already have the OG Epic, I'd wait until the middle of next year so you can get a killer future-proof 720p LTE phone at a fully discounted price. All that said, the ET4G is still a great device!

That's one reason I haven't taken the plunge (though I tried once, and the guy at the store said he couldn't mess with my plan). When I played with it at the store, it wouldn't rotate. Meanwhile, some of the apps (especially the camera app) would go landscape and not go back. Anyone else have that problem?

i could get a like new G2X for 350 with an extended 1980 battery for $350
or a brand new galaxy nexus for 650 + tax
what would you guys get?
i really want the galaxy nexus but theres some things i don't like about it like no gorilla glass and the speakers not that loud, but theres major pluses but ill be basically paying twice as much than the g2x
what should i do so confused
I wouldn't touch an LG phone. Ick.
Speakers: Volume+ and set it to +8.... Volume fixed.
Gorilla Glass: meh. it has some kind of protection on the glass, unsure whats the name but keys dont scratch it apparently.
Long term speaking. Galaxy Nexus will be a good development device.
I work at tmo and I would get the G2X over samsung anything. To be completely honest tho HTC all the way even a sensation would rock. Still my favorite phone even after I bought the amaze

And that's why you're using a Sidekick 4G right?
Stock Android experience + updates directly from Google is the best way to go to. Not to mention the amazing display that Samsung always offers. People always complain about Samsung phones are all plasticy.
Its plastic but it's built very durable and can survive falls a lot better than these other phones. It's also lighter, vivid and vibrant display that will make you be impressed in a heartbeat.
I really hope this was a trick question. If i were you i will not EVEN look/touch/think about the G2x. All i will tell you is do your research on that phone. In fact i will say get the Sensation/GII. Even if someone gives me a G2x right now i will not even touch it. So if getting the remaining dollar to get the GN is an issue then get then seriously look at the Sensation OR GII.
PS: in the long run you will want the GN.
Yeah fool. I have SEVERAL phones!

No ones a fanboy. We just simply love the "Pure Google Experience." I'll be honest about being a fanboy about Samsung's displays, they're gorgeous
It all depends on the person. If you're the person that wants the latest and newest version of Android. Galaxy Nexus will do you well, you can counter-argue this by talking about custom ROMs and all that. But you know what? it's up to the manufacturer of the phone to provide a 3.X.X version of the kernel. Without that, you are limiting development for that particular phone.

All i can say is WOW you don't know what you are talking about. G2X is way closer to a GOOGLE ANDROID experience. I can't even beleive i am sticking up for LG anything except that the new mytouch is awesome even tho all thoughts were a bit scary, turned out to be a very nice device. After 2 updates on G2X i have not been able to freeze it up since. I give up. By what he says then if your in phoenix i'll gladly override your restock so you can get something other than touchwiz.

I'd say if your keeping it for awhile GN. I wanted my Atrix for the hardware, knowing software is going to be replaced ... multiple times ... a week. I wanted to play with webtop, fingerprint scanner, etc. Now I have BU of ROM w/Linux & Chrome for the lapdock days, CM7 reading my fingerprints, and miui which I'm running now. The only thing that catches my eye is the GN ONLY because of the Nexus part. It's a personal choice. I wouldn't really wanna touch Samsung with LG's d!ck. Hardware means HTC or Motorola for me. I keep my phones and though they're both great beasts, there's only one button - less beast

I agree with you on the nexus part. HTC owns, but the nexus line only exist's because samsung holds out. I really do not prefer either option but based on what i have tested the answer is G2X even tho it was a nightmare before gingerbread, the phone is solid now. Add CM to it and wow!

I've noticed a lot of familiar faces around here, how many people here came from the Evo 3D? I used to think once the Evo got AOSP the phone would work better. I wish I had waited for this phone with my upgrade! I bought this on Ebay, I just couldn't take the lag anymore. It's such a night and day difference. Are you other folks satisfied with the switch?
Hell yes this phone is night and day better than evo3d.... There is no looking back from here

i came from the evo 3d and all i gotta say is i dont miss that thing one bit....
before you ever switch phones i must suggest this rom for your pleasure :

Glad I made the move. Even sold back my EVO3D with a broken screen to Sprint for $125 and bought the 4G Touch on Amazon for $79. Win win! If I could only access the 3D images and vids women volunteered to test for me...
Lol I trade my 3d straight across for this last weekend. It has been the best trade ever. I had the vibrant on tmo so its like coming home with this phone and using Odin.

Traded my evo3d for a photon, then got this bad boy. I couldn't stand the 16:9 screen of the 3D.
I made the switch from the Evo3d last week...wish I has made the move sooner...
I wish I hadn't listened to people saying this phone was poor quality, I was so wrong
Best move I ever made!!!

ya I have both and love this phone without a doubt. I like how in the htc forums they call this phone junk. it runs circles around that phone. I love the screen. I havent had one build quality problem since day one. even tho they said I would. i did however have multiple issues with the 3d over a couple of them. also as far as samsung being shady with updates. not for this phone! this is getting Ice cream sandwich very soon. I laugh everytime I see one of those threads. they don't realize how easywe have it over here where there is no need for a site like htcdev.com to unlock a bootloader like the evo 3d needs. welcome to the green side

I was biased towards Samsung and was half expecting non stop problems and deal with the LOS and the soundpool bug for the next six months or more, and forget about ICS...maybe in 2014.
Samsung proved me wrong on all accounts.
Ya, I am glad I switched. I thought HTC was so cool. It was like thinking a Geo Storm was cool back in 1996. Ya, it ain't sh!t compared to my Audi turbo with panoramic sunroof. You would think the people at Sprint would have said, hey, don't buy the 3d. It is a POS. I looked at the photon but I couldn't get use to that pixel thing going on with the screen
I got the Evo 3D on launch day...in November, this phone came up for a penny on Amazon, and I had to go for it. When it came in, I was shocked at how much smoother and faster it was than the Evo.
I'm definitely glad that I made the switch.
Yes, sold my 3vo.
had the 3d sold it and now I am rocking this beauty!!
I love this phone I just wish it had a better build, I'm not a fan of Samsung plastic. Other than taht it blows the 3d out the water. I still have my 3d because I gave it my sister but still love flashing Roms on it :b.
I liked my 3d. I just like this phone more. Coming from an og evo, I was bummed with the slightly smaller screen, weaker speaker and camera.
Gps seems better on 3vo but that is it. Literally. This thing could run the entire evo in a widget.

Is Samsung known for less than spectacular gps? My last Samsung was a Moment and the GPS was horrible.

While my ET is in repair (unbricking service), I'm running Evo3D. It's just not as snappy as ET. There are some inexplicable lags.
