Should I get an Incredible?

Hey guys, I currently have an eris but I'm looking to upgrade for my x-mas present. I can't decide between the Incredible and the Droid 2. Is the incredible "old" or will it still keep up with the newer android phones? Thanks for any feedback.

In my opinion, the DI is still a great phone, but, there should be the next gen phones coming out soon. There is a rumor (I know, it is just a rumor) that the Nexus S might be coming to Verizon, there is another possibility that the Stealth V ( SCH-i510) will be making it way to us as well. I had the Eris and made the switch to the Fascinate a couple of months ago. that gave me the guts to experiment with my Eris, I rooted and install Cyanogenmod which madethat phone pretty quick. If you are able to, I would do that and hold off until new models start to show up. But if you just can't wait, the DI is still a great phone with rather plentiful selection of roms and other great addons.

I love my incredible but if I could choose I'd look into a Droid 2 because I love emulators lol just play with them both the incredible has a great community and I'm sure the Droid 2 does as well just look around the forums and if possible play with the phones. Also the Inc will probably keep up with phones I mean come-on the Eris runs gingerbread now

Thanks for opinions so far. I have the Tazzfroyo rom and my eris and it makes it run 100% better than stock. The most I use my phone for is for loading the full verrsions of websites, and it sometimes gets really laggy when I slide around the page. Is it like that with the faster phones?

Just to compare at how awesome the Incredible is and HTC in general. The Eris is being bought back by Verizon right now for $132. The Droid 2 on the other hand $72, and the Incredible $152. Just something to consider. I personally would trade the phone back to Verizon along with any old phones you may have laying around you may get 5$-10$ for but it adds up, take out a new two year contract and get the Incredible for 1 cent at best buy and you get to use that credit from the Eris towards your bill or w.e. Just my two cents. I just read that even though I have a two year contract, after one year I can go and upgrade opening a new two year contract paying two year price but whatever i didn't know that i thought you had to wait the two years, this is something they don't like to tell you I guess.

Verizon allows you to renew your contract somewhere around 3-6 months prior to the actual contract expiration.

I had a Nexus and switched to the D2 for the keyboard (emulators and long emails) and great docks, but those weren't enough to overcome the severe lack of development for it. You will not find CM on the D2 ever; it's just not possible. In addition, the D2 community is very small and very immature (the drama here is nothing compared to the D2). I gave up and bought an Incredible. I'm never leaving HTC and CM again.

I would get an Incredible. I prefer the look of Sense, and I like bar phones like this as well. That's just my opinion though. I know, not much lol...

Hey that's what I'm looking for, opinions!
I'm going to hit up the Verizon store next week and make my choice. I'm kind of deciding between the Droid X and the Incredible now. I really like the keyboard and hdmi out on the Droid X, but it's so big! I'll have to use two hands to hold it up to my ear when I talk on it
And then I keep looking at pictures of the Incredible. It's such a well designed phone IMO. I love everything about it, it's like my eris on steriods

If you're torn between the X & Dinc, then you def want the Dinc!

Opinionated Opinion
I just got my droid x yesterday to give my dinc to my girlfriend who shattered her droid. The droid x is way hefty for phone calls and in the pocket, though when in your hand just feels comfortable and well built. The screen, tft or not, is brighter and clearer than my amoled dinc. The keyboards are a draw because the extra real estate is nice on the x but the sense keyboard is much quicker due to its integration of long presses for numbers.
When running a specific application I cannot tell the difference with speeds though the omap does minimally better with graphics, bfd to me. However, mulitasking is where the snapdragon beats the crap out of the omap. I don't know what it is but the droid x seems to get bottlenecked and lock up for sometimes seconds at a time when too many things are running in the background. I never have this problem with the dinc. It is starting to piss me off. I am going to root and try custom roms. The cameras are a draw. Droid x has slightly higher frame rate for 720p recording, don't care. HTC phones will always have a bigger support community than moto.
My ultimate opinion is take that money give it to a relative to hold for you until late February or early March and see what LTE will bring. Otherwise you might be pissed. If you are too anxious, I don't think either phone will let you down.

I'm satisfied with the I standard iPhone size. Rooting and rom options are huge.
Right size for a phone, adequate size for a tool like RDP -- my most intense app by Wyse.

Incredible is a great phone I recommend.

I agree, the only possible downside is the rumors that verizon might do away with unlimited data for LTE and start a tiered program. Not a big deal for the average user, though not many people here are average users. It might end up costing you more.

Well you can always root the phone, and then install CM7 for the stock Android feel, or there are a ton of Sense based ROMs out there too. So you can always flash another ROM to try things out.

Well i had HTC Hero and tried rom on droid 1 with sense ui . I like it but i dont know but i like droid incredible, because of the specs.

I just moved from the Droid 1 to the Inc a few days ago. The difference is amazing. This phone is so much more responsive. It just feels snappy. I'm using CM7 and incredikernel fwiw.

Same.. from d1 to incredible and... Well... It's incredible. So much better and pretty much just as hackable

I came from a og Droid and I could never go back. The dinc is so smooth and snappy, even compared to an overclocked Droid. There really isn't a reason to not do it unless you absolutely despise the virtual keyboard

Yeah the droid incredible has alot of rom options and the dev community is very helpful, coming from the OG Droid id definetly say go for it. Even if you didnt root or anything its still a great phone, and it *should* Be getting gingerbread soon, so thats a plus.

the only thing ths phone lacks, is 4G. other than that, i have no complaints. and when my 2 years is up, if there isn't something out there that just completely wow's me, i'll keep using it. i like it THAT much. i'd buy another..they are getting cheaper, and so are the accessories. i bought a white battery cover on amazon for 6 bucks shipped. bought another battery for 6 bucks shipped. i mean, you can't go wrong. rooting it is a cinch, and the development is as progressive as ever...

DINC FTW. I went from an Eris to the Incredible. The screen on the DINC is just beautiful, whether AMOLED or SLCD. With prices dropping on both new and used DINCs (look on CraigsList), I'd definitely pick one up!

I agree, you cant go wrong with the incredible.

The droid incredible is pretty much at the end of its product cycle, I would be looking at something newer like the charge. I wish I could upgrade before verizon implements its new teared data plans. Problem is its $220 to get out of my contract and $200 to get a new plan and phone. Looks like I'm going to have to stay with my incredible as long as possible to stay with my unlimited plan.

you can keep your unlimited data after July 7th as long you already had a smartphone on that line. In fact, if you don't downgrade, as of now anyway, Verizon said you can stay on unlimited data as long as you keep gettin smartphones. If you don't have a smartphone right now, ask around if anyone has a BB or an Android phone you can activate prior to july 7th so that unlimited data is an option

Should be fine as Verizon's pricing for 3 and 4g are the same.

I think droid 1 is good phone I just need 1ghz phone without the overclocking.I'm not in love with 4g as read it drain to much battery on thunderbolt and charger. I dislike samsung I hack my galaxy it got bricked so I won't be going to them again unless it moto or htc.

The droid inc is still the phone to beat in my mind. I can load up 7-8 gbs of music, put it on party shuffle in the car, and I'm set for days. Also the phones indestructible. I work on cars for part of my living, and I drop it with greasy hands, get all kinds of harsh stuff all over the phone and the only wear it shows is from my old case. Lol

Droid I2 or switch for upcoming Moto Droid 3

I am in a pickle..
On one hand, I have always loved HTC phones. I had the verizon VX6800 when it came out and love it for a long time. Then switched to some crap phone when I broke it.
When Motorola released the Droid, i paid for it out right. Loved it! treated that thing like gold. When they released the Droid 2, i was able to get it from Best Buy for free with a upgrade. I grabbed it, was able to sell my mint condition OG Droid too.
The Droid 2, I wasn't so impressed with. Yes it was just like the droid, but blur and the quality just wasn't there like the OG droid. Just a few weeks ago, I got Verizon to replace it for me with the Droid Incredible 2.
Back to HTC, I have to say im impressed. the lack of the Qwerty keyboard does put a cramp in my style that I have been used to for the past 2 years but nothing swype didn't fix.
So now, I see the droid 3 coming out in like a week. I could still return the Droid I2 for it. But I am unsure, with the DI2 getting Gingerbread soon and how well built the phone is. Also my bad run with the droid 2...
Any thoughts on what to do?

Honestly I'm willing to wait on the dual core...how much RAM does the d3 have? I mean the x2 is awesome but is bottlenecked by its RAM. This thing multi tasks awesomely because of its RAM. And the battery life can't be beat. I'm a heavy user and with the slightly larger battery I got 20 hours today with the screen on time of almost 5 hours...and I live in the middle of no where so I have cell service only half the time.

I never thought a MOTO phone would be the more open choice, but if you want to root don't go with the inc2. It is one of the most locked down phones ever released. The only known stable root method costs a costs over a 100 dollars. There are some who claim they have a software root, but in my professional opinion a stable version of it will never be released. If you want to lock yourself into a 2 year contract on what is probably an empty promise, that is your choice, but I wouldn't.
Now if you don't care about root, the inc2 is a great phone.

As it stands, a quick browse of this users posting history should reveal just how worthless his posts are. (Edit: It seems the majority of his posts have been removed by moderators. Understandable, it's just too bad most of the evidence of his stupidity has been deleted.)
As for the phones, my preference would be the Dinc2 because I don't need a QWERTY, but if that's your thing then the Droid 3 might be for you. If I were you I'd spend some time in the store playing with the D3 to determine if you prefer the "feel".

I would guess you'd be disappointed if you switched. I've rooted tons of phones, the Inc2 is by far the best android device i've touched to date. My phone turns circles around a DX2 with it's dual core.
Give swiftkey a try for a keyboard if you're coming from a physical one, it's awesome.

After the issues I have and had with my DROID 2 Global, Motorola would have to do a lot to earn my business again. I mean, it is nice having a stable phone, which the D2G is NOT!

This. Of all the phones in my possession at the moment, the only one I truly dislike is the D2G. Its just awful. Having owned a Droid X and Droid 1, the only way Motorola could win me back is if they just ditched blur entirely and made a quality, open phone like the Droid 1 was. If people keep buying the garbage they produce, nothing will ever change.

I'd urge caution for the D3. Head into the store and check it out first. It uses the same PenTile qHD display which some people (myself included) think is painfully grainy looking. I won't even pull a DX2 off the shelf unless people specifically ask for it because I'm so embarrassed to show them the display if they're coming from a OG Droid or something with a much better looking display. If I hold a DX2 up next to a Samsung Charge, it's glaringly obvious what the difference between Super AMOLED+ and qHD is. qHD does not fare well in that comparison.

well, I had the original incredible and even though it was a struggle with my big hands, it was still a great phone. I ended up getting the thunderbolt awhile back and yes, the bigger size was a plus for me, but the phone had some issues(including terrible battery life even with extended battery). I had 30 days to bring it back through best buy and in the last week the droid charge & incredible 2 were supposed to come out. originally I was thinking the charge, but then it got delayed so I just got the incredible 2. at first I was a bit bummed about the no 4G thing but other then that this has been a pretty solid phone.

Fascinate to DInc2-good idea?

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
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk

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 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.

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

Should I trade my DINC + $20 for a Fascinate?

I've been given the opportunity to trade my incredible + $20 for a fascinate. Should I do it?
I am kinda really attached to my phone and I can get an upgrade as early as April anyway. I know the fascinate has a pretty darn good build of ICS working on it which is the only reason I'm considering it.
Like I said, I love this phone and am apprehensive to trade it for something else. ICS would be nice, but I'm not sure how many quirks the build has.
Any thoughts? The deal would take place on Friday so I dont have much time to sit and think.

Bigger screen... HELL YEAH

Less ram hell no.
-My life is a shooting range, people never change-

After Samsung's antennagate debacle with the first line of Galaxy S phones, you shouldn't waste your time with the Fascinate. I know it's been "fixed" but that was piss poor handling by Samsung.

No..........

I wouldn't take a fascinate for free. I know to many people with Samsung phones that just have problem after problem. No network connection. My mothers Infuse just turns off randomly. A woman I work next to hers drops 4G to no connection I've pulled her simcard/battery at least 3 times recently. My brother has a NS4g he was telling my yesterday he had no network connection or was dropped to 1x. Battery pull once again. A kid a used to work with had a galaxy S 1 random reboots and just stop charging. Another girl I work with also has a galaxy S 1 ive never seen a phone go into safe mode before. Battery pull. The main reason I passed on the GNexus is because it was made by Samsung.
Long story short NO

I now remember reading about the fascinate having less ram, but forget the exact reason why.
Thanks everyone for your feedback. I will be keeping my Incredible and will continue working on my Sense 1.0 theme that I cannot wait to share

In case you still on the fence, no. Don't do it. The ICS ROMs for Inc are making good progress.

Another no from me.
Of course you are asking a bunch of dINC owners
still I think the dINC is more future proof (even considering how old it is) than the Fascinate.

Yeah I've decided I'm not going to do it. The GPU is worlds better on the fascinate, but with an upgrade right around the corner and me being completely satisfied with this phone (heck I may wait even longer) I'm just gonna stick around. If the fascinate had 4G then it might have been a done deal.
Again thanks all for the feedback!

You're welcome!

I went from the Dinc to the Fascinate. Keep the Dinc. The only thing that the Fascinate has on the Dinc is the bigger screen and a better DAC.

I personally bought the DINC because it was the smallest smartphone available. Sadly, it still is one of a kind in that department. I would try out the ICS build. I am using it now. It's quite stable and will make you feel like you have a new phone even though you have a two year old one.

I have tried out the ICS build and I'm not very satisfied with it. I am hugely picky about the smoothness and responsiveness of my phone rom and ICS on the inc isn't quite there yet due to the graphics drivers not supporting the GPU acceleration properly. I'll give it another shot if that ever gets fixed. That was the main draw of the fascinate to me, same gpu as the gnexus, same smoothness of the gnexus.

Just my opinion, I would never trade a phone you are happy with for anyone's phone unless it was a large upgrade and you were sure you could return it. Many phones have minor annoyances which would make you regret it even if the phone was a minor upgrade. I run miui v4 and despite the things not yet worked out, it is still excellent.

Without a doubt go for it...Just saw your first post maybe you decided already...I've had my fascinate for a year now and the last three months of ics builds have been great. I've used both the teamhacksung and the gummy builds (which I'm running now).
Both builds have been for the most part stable from what I've experienced.
My buddy has two DINC's at the moment with one running MIUI, I wouldn't trade my shattered LCD stylin' fascinate for it...I soft bricked my fassy for two weeks before I got the time to read up enough and restore it, then I dropped it flush, face down on concrete that same exact day...
so yeah take the i500 or sure...save your upgrade if you want

I have a special place in my heart for the Fascinate, but the GPS problem was painful to deal with, no matter how many gpsfix.zip's people put out.
