Okay guys I know many xda'ers don't hold apple in high regard but my girlfriend is looking to upgrade her blackberry soon. I would just like some opinions of the dinc2 and if anyone has used an ip4 as well and how do they compare? Hows the camera and video capture on dinc2? Also most likely I will be rooting her phone if she gets the dinc2 because she loves miui and wondering how easy it is to root it, Ive read the alpharev thread and I think I have the gist of it. Thanks any thoughts and opinions would be awesome.

I have chick friends that love the inc2, and I have chick friends that love the iphone4, depends on what she or U lol plan to do to it, root, jailbreak, ect..or nothing. if she wants basic go apple. if you want great community support go android.
Its not like android would be particularly difficult to get the hang of, hell my grandpa uses a Droid X. The iPhone isn't going to do anything the inc 2 can't, at this point I think people buy apple due to the perceived status.
And rooting is very simple, its not "one-click" easy, but if you're computer literate its easy. Literally takes a couple minutes once you're ready to go.
I do like the design of apple products but the company and its beloved followers I can't stand. In the end it is up to her but she weighs a lot on my opinion and told her I would ask the fine people at xda as well lol! Also I am cashing out 100 dollars to help pay for it too, and since I got a nexus, I'm hoping she pics the dinc2 .

Put it this way. you can get an iPhone and be stuck with iOS and whatever memory size you happen to choose forever (not to mention feel bitter once the next iPhone comes out).
Or you can get the more recent, more technically advanced DInc2, and be able interchange SD cards and Batteries, and switch HTC Sense, AOSP, or MIUI (which is basically iOS, except better because you can use widgets and everything else that makes Android awesome). In my opinion, if you fall prey to the flashy logos, sleek design and massive marketing and ignore the obvious advantages of the HTC android phones, then you deserve to be pigeon-holed in with the mouth-breathers that stand outside the Apple Store all night waiting for the iPad 3 to come out so it can (not) run flash up to 3X faster!
The only problem is I wouldn't get too excited about rooting the Inc2 off the jump because if you get one now it's likely to come with Gingerbread (unless one has been sitting on a shelf for a bit). If you get one, you better get it quick. Froyo had the only known root method and no telling how long it'll take to crack Gingerbread
That said, even in the situation that I didn't root, I have the Incredible 2 and I'd take it over the iPhone easily. HTC sense is really not a bad UI at all, slower than AOSP of course but of all the manufacturer skins on top of Android, Sense UI is by far the most useful.
The biggest problem with the iPhone 4 (to me) is that it doesn't really multitask and the hardware is starting to get a bit dated. The iPhone 4 isn't "slow" by any means, but most modern Android phones will run circles around it. The Dinc2 has good battery life too, I have to absolutely abuse mine for it not to last a whole day easily
If you do happen to get one with Froyo, AlpharevX is as painless as it gets. S-off and it installs clockworkmod recovery for you if you elect to.
Thanks guys, told her what you guys said and she is like 100 % sure she wants the dinc2 Now I'm excited, I get to play with 2 phones, hopefully she'll get one with froyo. If not I can always install adw or go luancher if she doesn't like sense.

If she's coming from Blackberry and uses a ton of photo/video out of the phone the iphone may be better for you.
I switched my wife over from an Inc 1 to the iPhone and she's in love with it. The camera is unrivaled to be brutally honest, it smokes any android phones camera and i'd love for my inc2 to have the same quality.
Basically she's not a tech person, she needed easy, something that took good pictures, and battery. The inc2 has great battery but still nowhere near the IP4.
I've owned both, and I would never personally go back to an iPhone, but for my wife it was perfect for her, and she would never give hers up.

If you get one with Gingerbread on it, you can still S-OFF using the clip method.
If you're getting it new from Verizon I can't think of why it wouldn't be on froyo, unless HTC is already shipping out new units with gingerbread. Just don't take the OTA if you want root.
yeah she told me that she "didn't want to fall to the hype of iphone" lol. She just wants a bigger screen, and she always carries around a point and shoot where ever she goes so camera i'snt really that big of a deal. Also the Dinc2 is 50 dollars less than the iphone at bestbuy. All in all she goes one week to make up her mind lol!
well, the way I see it is that an iphone 4 is pretty much an ipod touch that you can make calls with. the other advantage, which is the main one i'd say, is that if you have a nice sound system in your car and the deck has an AUX in then absolutely nothing can compare with the output quality of an ipod touch/iphone.
ive tried mp3 players from creative, sansa(even with rockbox), sony, etc... even tried different phones(mytouch 3g, htc hd2, samsung galaxy s, and my current incredible 2). no matter how you adjust the eq's or what apps you use(even poweramp), they still do not compare to apple.
but, if you arent planning on doing that in your car then theres no point in getting an iphone4(especially now that android has Plants vs Zombies).
Best advice when choosing a device:
Go to a store with active devices and play with them. Spend some time with them. If you know people with the devices in mind, ask them if you can play with them and get to know them. Make the choice based on your experience, not the advice of others, because it all comes down to personal preference.
As much as I am a big fan of Android and Android devices, and despite the fact that I will never choose an iOS device, I would recommend a person try it before rejecting it.
My sister tried going from a blackberry to an Android device and found one very big legitimate problem with it. She's on Sprint and doesn't have the iPhone as a choice so she went back to blackberry. She liked Android, but that one glaring flaw was enough to push her away from it (at least for now). Of course, the same flaw exists on the iPhone so she's doomed to be stuck on blackberry (yeah, I hate blackberry).
If you want to know the flaw: She can make calls and do certain tasks without looking at her device. With Android, she was unable to do this. I'm betting with something like a Droid Pro this wouldn't be an issue, and the voice command features Android has acquired more recently would help a little, but it's not where she could get as proficient at it as she is with her blackberry.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of certain tasks? Is it a difference between having physical buttons versus softkeys?

Something like that. It's mostly a problem with her particular usage. She gets tactile feedback for what she is trying to do and can generally get things done without looking at her device. She's a pretty big multitasker so this is important to her. Unfortunately, this also helps her use her device in the car (I wish she wouldn't TBH).

Tactile feel = knowing keyboard layout. I was real good at punching out emails on my 9700 without looking at it for most of the email. Same with the car use, which I definitely no longer do (despite the fact that it is now also illegal here).
Curiosity answered.. Thanks.
Well first off, my Incredible has been a POS ever since I dropped it and cracked the screen, even though I replaced it, it doesnt work right.
Not only that, Im tired of Sense. I was pissed that we got Gingerbread 8 months after it was announced and also even if I get a new HTC phone, Sense has just become too bloated for me.
So how many other people are going to become Android Purists and get the Galaxy Nexus?
you should do a poll.

If you hated Sense that much I'm actually pretty surprised you haven't rooted and put on an AOSP ROM. The DINC has had an awesome development community and we've been lucky enough to have a ton of really great ROMs ported for us and we were never tied to waiting for HTC or being stuck with Sense.

agreed. We have never been short on ROMs. I have found that there have been some really awesome ones with sense. Mctwist is running smooth as ever.
I'm probably going to get the galaxy nexus after it comes out and is clear from any major bugs, but that is just to upgrade because there is nothing wrong with my incredible. It has literally been incredible since the day I got it. It's rare for phones these days to actually be able to do that.
I am getting the Nexus and then using my incredible as a back up.
Will finally have a back up phone that is android.
Still torn on this myself. I will definitely have to see it in person, and I'd like to see how the developer community works out.
Of course by then some new better yet phone will be just around the corner.

Same here. I like a lot - a LOT - of what I've seen and heard about the Vigor/Rezound, but I simply want to give the Galaxy Nexus a solid try. ICS from day one, cutting-edge updates. The ICS presentation in Hong Kong sold me, I don't want to wait weeks to months (I suspect a viable AOSP Inc build within a week of the AOSP ICS release - I'm not as confident on the Vigor, since we don't know the bootloader status yet, and this IS Verizon we're talking about) for ICS on a Vigor.
They're (rumored to be) coming out close enough together, that if I end up disliking my Galaxy Nexus and just like the Rezound better (you can bet I'll be in a B&M VZW store getting my hands on it) I can return and switch.
I really like my Incredible a lot, and I'm floored with the strong dev community for it, and what I've seen of similar things for the EVO family and so on. I hope the same for the Vigor/Rezound will be true. But then again, I've seen an overwhelming majority of anyone with a Nexus phone saying how happy they are with theirs.
For one, I'll be getting it just because it's a Nexus device. I enjoy my Incredible and will continue use it as a backup. I've tried all kinds of Roms and I just wanna try something different. I enjoy Sense but the recent versions have just not been fun for me, maybe that's because of Verizon's locking down or something.
It looks nice, but I am going to watch the hype for a bit. It is hard to move on from something as smooth and still as well supported as our INC.
I am going for the Droid Razr, never have and never will own a Samsung phone. Motorola and HTC have proven themselves in the Signal Strength and Quality category for many many years.

not an issue in any of their newer phones either.
I was completely going for the Rezound before I realized that it's still a mystery if it's going to get an unlocked bootloader or not. That's a deciding factor for me.
The Nexus is a great phone, but again another huge letdown is the SD card slot. I use my phone as my iPod so I need the space for my music collection.
I have no problem waiting with my trusty INC until I can see better how these phones will turn out.
Waiting for the quad core phone that is not even coming to verizon is just insanity. It'll be such a long wait, I'll bet you almost anything that the Q1 Q2 date will be pushed back, not to mention that phone is for AT&T, verizon may not see a quad core phone for another year.

That's a pretty big issue for me too, and seeing that motorola pointed the finger at Verizon for the locked bootloader on the Droid Razr, I'm not expecting to see any sort of official bootloader unlocking from HTC (even if they wanted to) for the Rezound. Wouldn't be surprised to see something down the road from revolutionary/unrevoked, but I'd like to be able to buy a phone, turn on USB debugging, plug it into my laptop, do a quick 'fastboot oem unlock' and be done with it (nexus).

I had it, used it, uninstalled it. Streaming over 3G isn't that great in spotty coverage, plus I really dislike the app and how it functions, the UI mostly.
The more I think about it though, the more I think 32GB will be enough. I'm leaning towards the Nexus but still going to wait it out. With the prices they're being sold at I don't want to make a choice that I'll end up regretting.
I'm currently with Nexus S. I love it. The idea of google is issuing new phone excites me a lot and I like to sell my NS and buy GN.
After reading here and there about GN, I facing this question: does it really worth to upgrade from Nexus S to Galaxy Nexus?
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
Yes for me
I also own a Nexus S and will certainly upgrade to GN.
Why? Because I like Nexus device which gets update directly from Google.
Think about the future Android OS, Nexus S will definitely be updated (if hardware is sufficient).
If not, I must wait the forth Nexus ... which is when? ... end of 2012? 2013? NO WAY!
So, that's the reason ... if you like Nexus device, then get this GN!
If this is considered off-topic please tell me but I have a similar question just with my Desire HD.
I like the thought of getting the updates first etc. but I have only had it for a year.

It's a yr now that I've had a mt4g. Maybe 3 months I've had a sensation. Just sold the sensation to get the nexus. U only live once.
I'm kinda sure it worth upgrading. I trust google won't release new phone unless the future updates need new hardware. It seems that I want to find a way to convince myself to save some $$$ by not upgrading lol.
On Nexus S, I just wish for quicker shooting camera and better organizing for contacts relation with other app and history. I could understand that GN solved these two issues with a plus of dual core, better processor, and HD vedio.
Have I answered my self?! Lol
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
I think Google already said ICS is coming to the NS by the end of the year (hopefully they'll push to the OG T-Mobile NS first) so there's really no need to update unless you're like me and just have to have it. I doubt the reason they're making new phones is because of hardware issues with future updates. Aside from the camera shutter speed and the barometer, the NS is capable of doing all the stuff the GN is. I think they're just making one flagship phone per year designed around their new software to show off everything the software is capable of. The N1 was a call for manufacturers to put some actual decent performing parts into the phones (they heard that message almost too well if you ask me), the NS was more about usability and what to do with the better hardware. The GN seems to be all about hardware acceleration, making it more easy to use and also not skinning it like crazy.
At the end though, like someone already said the choice is yours to make.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
The Nexus S will get ICS, and seeing as it has a Super AMOLED screen it is not worth the upgrade. Unless you plan to do dual core gaming, the Galaxy Nexus is not a huge update over the S. I would hold on and wait for the next one.

Ok guys and gals, I know I have posted a question like this earlier just bare with me, because I am not really any good at decision making. So i can get the sprint Galaxy Nexus for 100$, is it worth it or should I wait or should I buy it because it's the latest Nexus? I see that Sense 4.0 and the Sony roms are not on the sprint Galaxy Nexus, are they planned to be? I really just want to know if you guys were eligible for an upgrade at this point in time would you buy this phone right now or get a different one? Thanks to begin with!!
got it even knowing the sgs3 and the evolte where right around the corner. Couldnt be happier. Bought it the first chance i could which was about two weeks after launch day.

Depends on your preferences.
The Galaxy Nexus is great if you:
1. want the Android that Google designed, free of modifications by phone manufacturers and carriers
2. want to be able to unlock the bootloader (and, subsequently, root) your phone fairly easily
On the other hand, the Galaxy Nexus has some drawbacks:
1. no removable storage
2. 5MP camera - not too good compared to some other phones
3. shorter battery life (because of the AMOLED screen)
4. and a few other minor issues
?

yeah but now all those things are out and im stumped and its kinda cheap for the phone. I wish people were into lg products, because the lg viper is 20 bucks and it beats the galaxy nexus in quadrant.
If you're looking for a deal, then I'd say yes. $100 isn't bad with an upgrade for a GNex. IF that isn't your main priority, even though it seems it is, then I may suggest checking out one of the aforementioned devices during the trial period (14d), more so the GSIII than than the EVO LTE.
I will say the new EVO is pretty sweet, have had some time with it as my buddy has it, and the battery has shown to be significantly better than the GNexus. The cameras do not compare, either. I'm not a big shooter, and even though I find myself taking some sweet pictures with the GNex ... it doesn't compare. Factors, though, of course, as it depends on usage and what you're looking for. Remains to be seen how the GSIII will compare, but I'm wanting to get my hands on it.
If it came down to the EVO LTE or the GNex, I still think I would go for the Nexus for multiple reasons; straight Google experience, SW keys, sexier device. Again, it remains to be seen how sweet that new Galaxy S is, but if you can hold out that long .... check it out for that week or two and determine what you feel to be the necessary decision.

The only reason im not getting the viper is there isnt much developer support and lg isnt very good on software updates.

...and am selling it again.
Ive had a GN since it came out, and an S2 for a year prior, which I loved, for the most part. I had great hopes for the S3 but was massively disappointed. Its a great phone in many respects, but the touchWiz (Which is better than S2 but still sucks) UI lets it down. The keyboard is woeful. The messaging app suck. Many of the features border on "gimmicky". I know many of these issues can be solved by replacing stock apps but seems such a shame seeing as such strides were made by Google with Android 4.
Anyone else dabbled with an S3?

The CBS?
I've messed around with one. Its a decent device but nothing I would call next-gen.
My girlfriend just got one yesterday. Had a play with it when she reluctantly handed it over. Seems very nice tbh . If I got one as a straight swap for my nexus I'd probably go for it. Would root it though and get touchwiz off it asap. .
My workmate has just got one, they are nice phones hardware wise but not significantly better than the Nexus and, yeah, Touchwiz still sucks.
S voice lags the phone, s beam is just a lazy way to configure wifi direct, smart stay is kinda cool though it's not that hard to set a few seconds delay between screen off and lock just in case ... so again I can't really see any killer features to make me want to upgrade.
I'm so happy with the gnex at this stage I might actually keep a phone for a year this time, unless a new nexus comes out in that time of course.
