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

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?

Just got off the phone with verizon and I have a dInc 2 headed my way. Said it's not new but at least I don't have to pay for it.

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.

The x2 has a slew of software problems from what I hear. Doesn't seem like good phone but I could be wrong. My inc2 has data speeds that are twice as fast as my fascinate. Haven't missed a call or text yet on my inc2. I will never buy a Samsung again after having a Fascinate.

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.

Thinking of ditching my evo... Any bugs?

So my mom has an upgrade and really wants an Evo. She said shed be willing to trade if I bought the et4g on her upgrade so I could get a shiny new epic touch and she could have a miui'd evo. Heres my question to all you new et4g owners: what are the problems you've been experiencing so far? Either hardware or software I just want to know what I'll be jumping into after dropping 200 dollars...

Random app closures
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265828

none so far...smooth as my bottom...

I say, go right ahead and do it and don't even look back! Not to many people have the opportunity. Just traded my evo 4g for it there isn't one phone out now that can beat this. The battery is super awesome especially if coming from an evo. The browser is awesome get full sites using about:useragent, it's lightweight and the size of the screen is awesome. I Just wish it was the 5.3" that is out in Europe.

Dude... Get it! You will not regret it. There is a poll around here and the last time I looked, there are just as many evo users as there is epic1 users that moved to this phone

Tits eh? Couldn't have said it better myself. I have this sudden urge to lick the phone, now look what you've done.

I haven't found any bugs yet.

Phone's running perfectly for me. Sprint and Samsung have delivered well thus far.

There are only 2 things that I have found not working as of now, 1 being the Social Hub isn't allowing us to log in, and the other is the weather widget which isn't automatically changing location.
This is by far the BEST phone out as of now! I've been from EVO 4G, to EVO 3D, and I personally am not missing either 1 now. Couldn't of said the same going from the 4G to the 3D, as it was noticeably faster, but I really was never awed! The SII has definitely awed me again! Sorta like when we all first got our 4G's...
If you can make the switch, don't hesitate, and make sure you kiss your mom for taking your EVO off you and getting the SII

do it, you wont regret it.
i dropped my evo for this and it is well worth it!

I'm leaving my evo4g its been very good to be, so I will not dam the bridge I have crossed, but sadly say he will be missed.

I think it would be a little foolhardy to upgrade right now. Let the early adopters be the beta testers. Also, we don't know what will happen with iP5, Nexus', and Ice Cream Sandwich around the corner. Sit back and wait another month or two.

I mentioned two phone names and one operating system, none of the three of which have been since by outsiders. So how exactly are you coming to the conclusion that your phone is "easily ten times better than those phones"?

Your argument depends on there never being a good time to upgrade, that there is no such thing as a release cycle or big releases. If a new and improved phone came out every day or we knew nothing about future products and future release dates, your oft repeated but ill thought out argument would be true. In fact, the industry does work on cycles and there are big product releases so it only makes sense to purchase with those in mind.

You seem uniformed and blind to the difference between "big releases" and hype. The SGSII is a huge release and one of the most highly anticipated Android phones ever. Going back to your "beta tester" comment, the SGSII has been out for months and has earned near perfect ratings across the board. The ET4G is just a variant so please don't go down that road.

I think this devise is gonna be top notch for along time. I was worried that when Prime dropped I would regret getting E4GT but after having it for a couple days Im happy I got it. I love TW4 it works smooth and fast and if E4GT gets good support from the top delvs it will stay on or near the top for a long time. I always thought the Epic4G was way better hardware than the EVO and look how that turned out.
Get this phone and dont look back

Upgrading sooner than I thought

I was planning on upgrading to a Dinc2 sometime this summer and dropping Verizon for Page Plus, but it looks like it will happen sooner than I expected. I dropped my Kin Twom today and the digitizer spiderwebed, so it is pretty worthless. It was a pretty good phone for the 2 years I had it, but I'll finally be getting something better.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi, I'm sure I'll be around these parts a lot once I find a good price on a Dinc 2.

Welcome! I was new to smartphones and Verizon recommended this phone. Great thing they did; i love it and the community that comes along with it.

Things are a little slower than they had been.. Waiting on a source to drop from HTC with Ice Cream Sandwich and then the newer roms like AOKP and nitsuj's rom plus the rom aero is working on.. they will then be 100% ... all are daily drivers as they stand now which is amazing considering there is nothing from HTC yet... So set back, relax, grab a beer, wine, liquor, smoke.. what ever you do and wait for the real fun to begin! WELCOME!!!!

Hate to s**t on everyone's pillows here, but the Inc2 is pretty old at this point, and I would recommend going for one of the newer devices if you can. That's just my thought. I always thought this phone was fast but after using any non Moto dual core device, this thing is, as I've said before, a sedated tortoise.

No doubt.. but to some it's new ... I still enjoy using it and will continue to enjoy it .. I don't have an upgrade until December so I've got the rest of this year and I may keep it after that, who knows.. plus who knows what's gonna be around when that time comes.. The OP is happy he's getting/got a DINC2 so don't rain on his parade ..

Well, compared to my Motorola dual core phone, this phone runs as fast as a mad, stabbed bull! So it is all relative. Plus the OP wants to quit Verizon and go to page plus. So may be he has a particular reason to choose dinc2, or budget constraints?

To each their own.. it's all good.. the DINC2 is a good phone and holds its own against other phones in its class.. The newer phones coming out are seriously powerful ... I can't wait to get a phone that makes me feel the way I did when I dumped the Blackberry Storm for the DINC2 ... I was blown away!!

Thanks guys. Ya I know the Dinc 2 is getting kinda old, but the new service I will be using is only for 3G phones currently and from what I have found the Dinc 2 is the top of the 3G types.

Well that explains it. But I do believe that 4G phones can work on 3G too, unless there is some compatibility issues with the service. So, may be you can consider a 4G phone too.

4G phones are compatible with 3g (would be stupid if they weren't). He may not have 4g in his area which may be why he didn't get a 4g phone. I didn't have it in my area when I upgraded so I took this phone.

I'm using Page Plus Cellular and 4G phones do not work on it. I believe it is because of the LTE sim card.

Or that the phone is fat, has terrible battery life and overheats. Ugh. Sense 4 isn't bad though. Pretty nice. That and 2.1 are cool. Everything else blows. Still like stock ICS better than both.

I think you'll be happy with the Dinc2. It's a good phone, and for a 3G phone, it would be my first choice (again) for a 3G phone. I've really enjoyed mine for almost a year now (hard to believe it's been that long). I had not had any intentions of upgrading anytime soon due to not having 4G in my area.
Well, due to my wife's job relocating her, I will know be living in a 4G area, so needless to say, I have a Galaxy Nexus on the way. The Dinc2 will still be staying in the family though, moving to the wife till the next upgrade is due. This will be her first smart phone. I think she will be really happy.
Enjoy your phone, and the community here, They're a great goup

I have had the Inc2 for almost a year as well. My mom has a charge. We have 4G EVERYWHERE where I live (about 45 min outside Boston) and someone on my plan has an unwanted upgrade that is coming in May so Gnexus time for me. Yay! The inc2 really is the best VZW 3g phone though hands down.

I just upgraded from an Eris to the Inc2. I love it and the price off Amazon was 1 cent. Plus I was able to keep my unlimited data plan. And from what I've heard 4g is still spotty around where I live.

My job just got me a new phone SGSIII! Way better than the on call Blackberry

Came in today to find a SGS3 on my desk woot! I like ICS wish it had Jelly bean, but it's great so far. I gotta get this an xoskin right after work, woot for a company card. I have had a Blackberry Bold for an on call phone and I guess my complaints didnt fall on deaf ears. The thing had issues, I dont even know where they got it. The sticker on the back says property of research in motion limited. It was like some demo blackberry haha. Just waiting for exchange to sync, then I will customize it. What average battery life should I expect? I had like 3 spare batteries on my old evo, as long as I can get 8 hours I should be good.

You can get jellybean, there's a couple good stable ROMs. I'm using baked black bean 5 right now and it does well, you can use team venum's jellybean ROM because its touchwiz, although I really don't like touchwiz(thought it was great until I tried normal android without it)oh and jellybean would require root unless you wait for the official update which is supposed to be this month.

I'm on stock unrooted(for now at least) and I can go from 7 am to 10 pm with about 6 or 7 hours of screen on time and still have around 20 percent left.

I've had this phone for two weeks now and like the OP, I find new things with it every day. Battery life is great! UI is smooth! I haven't had any issues with it. Only android device I've owned prior to this was a rooted htc hero (sprint). I went to an iPhone for awhile and I'm glad I waited till now to switch back! Once you've got a taste of a big screen. You don't want to go back to anything smaller. :laugh:
Looking forward to rooting this baby and trying out the different roms!
Also, glad to be back in the xda community! :victory:

Agreed that this phone is awesome. It's honestly the best phone I've ever owned by far. The S-Pen is quite cool as well. I'm always finding uses for it.
BTW, if you haven't checked it out yet, check out Samsung's user guide app for it:

I usually root my phones but I don't think I will on this one, at least not for a while. I don't think it's a good idea anyway because I don't want to have any issues when T-Mobile gets around to pushing and OTA update for LTE.

I've had this phone for two weeks now and like the OP, I find new things with it every day. Battery life is great! UI is smooth! I haven't had any issues with it. Only android device I've owned prior to this was a rooted htc hero (sprint). I went to an iPhone for awhile and I'm glad I waited till now to switch back! Once you've got a taste of a big screen. You don't want to go back to anything smaller. :laugh:

Yeah i feel ya. so much more to do with ALL android devices.. I had a htc hd2 back a few years ago i liked the screen on it but it didnt have android market it had the windows apps... jesus i started missing android quite quickly.. i never rooted a phone when i had the hd2 didnt even know about rooting in the first place... the vibrant changed all that.. I may mess around with kernels but im really happy with what i have in this phone....

I agree, I'm happy with how the phone is running now and don't find a need to root it. Although those roms coming out are looking VERY tempting!

Cant say i wont ever root this phone but as of yet i dont see the need to and i paid the outright price of 700 i think it was worth every penny
