thinking of changing to republic, but i still want to keep my inc2. anyone have any ideas that knows more about this company?
I wouldn't recommended that. Republic seems too good to be true. You can keep your inc2 but you can not use it on their plan bc they have only one phone (LG optimus)

Seems like a good idea for the service but when not using WiFi you are really hampered...I think somewhere they basically consul you on getting back on track using wireless if your 3g or whatever gets too high. I like the concept but would make sure you check all the details before taking the plunge.

I was thinking maybe there would be a way to unlock my inc2 to work on their network

I might be wrong, but it looks as if, to get service, you have to buy the phone.

Also since it is based off of Sprints network you will be really sacrificing signal for cost unless you are always in WiFi. Look into page plus if you are needing to cut cost. They run off Verizon towers and can use any Verizon phone if unlocked.

Signed up for the next round of invites, going to try one as a second line.
I would actually be interested in this, if I didn't already have an Inc2 and service through my parent's family plan. Maybe in a few years when they cut me loose, I will check it out, assuming it's still around. Would probably even be more refined.
OK, so I've up and decided to go ahead and purchase a Nexus 4 from Google Play, I mean at $300 unlocked who wouldn't. I also happen to be off contract now with Big Red and nows the time to be getting while the getting's good.
If anyone would like to purchase a red Dinc2 simply PM me an offer. It only has slight wear and the only problem it has is the volume up doesn't work. Everything else is great, I'll even wipe and include the 8GB card in it.
I'll will still remain an avid member of the Dinc2 community because of the members and Dev's.
One other note, i won't be able to give up my Dinc2 until I get my Nexus 4, which will take 2-3 weeks it seems.

Probably ATT, maybe even straight talk so I don't have to go back on contract.....
Good for you. The Nexus 4 seems like a fantastic device.

You probably won't have to wait that long. Ordered my Nexus 4 from Play on Feb 6, received it on Feb 13.
Also I'll give you $70 plus shipping for that incredible 2.
Is a nexus anywhere in Verizon's future? Itching to upgrade but I don't like anything out now. Also don't want to lose unlimited data. Hahaha. Translation ... I'm screwed.

I just picked up a Note 2 on Verizon and am blown away! Phones got a whole lot better since I got my Dinc 2.
Now if I can only fend off my rooting obsession...
I got rid of my DINC2 and went with a Windows 8 phone. While I miss my Sirius XM app and the ability to tether for free, I'm quite pleased with the Nokia 822 on VZ. The lack of some apps is really the only negative I've seen so far. The phone is really snappy and clean. I'm happy with my switch, but will miss messing around with Roms and adb etc...
Is the Nokia filled with bloat? I know 0 about windows phones.

It has some ESPN, My Verizon, and Univision apps pre-installed along with some very good Nokia apps like Nokia music and Nokia Navigation. The good thing is that the bloat is able to be uninstalled right out of the box, no rooting required. Some core apps are uninstallable but that is expected... Overall, I'm very pleased with my Windows Phone 8.

Good to hear.
I think a lot of us here are curious about Windows Phone. If only it had *tweaks* >
I'm thinking about getting the HTC One but I want to know what changes Verizon's made to the device. Hardware and software changes. I currently have the Galaxy Note II and I'm disgusted with what Verizon did to the phone. Removing the WiFi toggle and replacing it with an ongoing WiFi notification that can't be disabled, removing Blocking Mode, putting their ugly logo on the home button, and making completely unnecessary changes to UI.
nothing to the hardware i dont think.
the software is raped with verizon stuff, per usual.
nothing a little root wont take care of though.
its a great device .

Also rooting this phone is very easy
none
All Verizon's bloat can be wiped out with root and a custom ROM, and it is so easy to root. Just download rumrunner, find your build number, right click in a exe file and let it go.
Get the device, i've had it for 6 months and really like it.

Think again. VZW deleted the FM App, but even if you reinstall it, you'll find that they also disabled the ability to have the headphone cord act as an FM antenna.
Result: instead of listening to any FM station in your location at no charge, you can run up Verizon data usage by an app like TuneIn.
So to this day the most updated HTC one for Verizon has an unlockable bootloader and is root able? I have the galaxy s4 and am considering buying one off contract but only if it's not locked down like the Samsung s4 is.

Yep we have a program that s offs, unlocks, and roots in less than 5 minutes.
Damn. What're the specs on the phone? The Samsung is pretty awesome but I hear really good things on the One.

The specs are so close it doesn't matter... The Samsung is slightly better on paper but lags sometimes with bloated touch wiz and I think it's locked down right now.
Yes us s4's on Verizon are locked down. But we get to play around with some Roms due to Safestrap recovery. Last question. Anyone know the off contract price of the One? Only one I can find is from release day.

Reaskn I'm asking about contract price is because I will trade my s4 in to best buy and use the credit.

Long story short, I got curious about the note 4 and traded in my M8 for it. It's only been 24 hrs and all I call say is that it's not a HTC. I'm really hoping that it grows on me.

Is it too late to get your M8 back?

I have had my Note 4 for about a week now, came from the M8. I truly love the M8, but I find the only thing I really miss is the front facing speakers. One of the main reasons I switched was for the Samsung VR. I have no regrets. I still have the M8, I want to see Lollipop on it before I sell it.
One thing I miss about the M8 is how it did it was fast. I don't know if if it's how touch wiz is designed to work, but it is kinda slow. Opening an app takes noticeably more time than the HTC. we'll see what happens, I can do another early upgrade in 4 or 5 months
