Hummingbird Posted October 30, 2011 #1 Posted October 30, 2011 I find myself at a crossroads AGAIN ! I currently have a Motorola Droid but it's not global. I guess when I got it, it fell into the window of non-global droids. So, I have to get another phone and the HTC Incredible seems to be the one - it doesn't have a slide out keyboard (I don't need that type) and is lighter. Anybody have one of the Incredibles and if so any problems ?
SilvrT Posted October 30, 2011 #2 Posted October 30, 2011 Not sure what you mean by "global" ? I just got an HTC Desire HD Android .... awesome device. A tad large tho.
Monty Posted October 30, 2011 #3 Posted October 30, 2011 I have an incredible, and it's a great phone. Takes awesome pictures too.
dray Posted October 30, 2011 #4 Posted October 30, 2011 Check out droid bionic. Its awsome:thumbsup2:
motorcycletom Posted October 30, 2011 #5 Posted October 30, 2011 We just got an Iphone 4 for Amy and she loves it. It took a little to get use to but now works good.
Art708 Posted October 30, 2011 #6 Posted October 30, 2011 I was due for an update on my cellphone. I went with the iPhone 4 but after 3 weeks I went back to Verizon and changed out for the Incredible 2. It cost me a hundred bucks but I have a 50 dollar rebate to send in so changing out will cost me 50 dollars. I like the Incredible 2 MUCH better than I did the iPhone 4.
Hummingbird Posted October 30, 2011 Author #7 Posted October 30, 2011 Not sure what you mean by "global" ? I just got an HTC Desire HD Android .... awesome device. A tad large tho. Global means that I con use it here in the states as well as in Europe without any changes. Not a lot of phones are cdma as well as gsm. The Incredible looks like the one to get, has a 1.0 ghz ? processor and won't cost a fortune.
Hummingbird Posted October 30, 2011 Author #8 Posted October 30, 2011 didn't weigh them but the Motorola Droid is obviously heavier than the Incredible. Weight probably wouldn't make any difference except that I carry my phone in my shirt pocket and I find that I don't need the key pad since the touch panels have gotten so user friendly since my first Blackberry.
Hummingbird Posted October 31, 2011 Author #9 Posted October 31, 2011 I got the Incredible - a lot lighter than the Motorola Droid. Bad news, darn things are listed for $439.00 Good news, it only cost $99.00 How can they do that and who pays $439 for a phone ?

You did. You financed the phone with a 2 year contract most likely. All these smartphones cost hundreds of dollars, which the carrier pays, then collects around $1200 a year from you to use it. YMMV, but the fact is, we are getting hooked on these things.
BuddyRich Posted October 31, 2011 #11 Posted October 31, 2011 we are getting hooked on these things. GETTING ??? HOOK, LINE, and SINKER here already..:rotf: It like loosin my wallet if I can't find my phone.

Well, I am the same way...been using a smartphone since January 2009.....but its fun watching all these posts of other members now finding them indispensable.

The Incredible looks like the one to get, has a 1.0 ghz ? processor and won't cost a fortune. we use HSDPA technology here on the HTC Desire. The Desire is maybe one step up in capabilities to the Incredible and has a slightly bigger screen. I'm not sure that the Incredible is available here in Canada.

Naw - it's a corporate phone. there are 3 of us with a 4000 minute a month plan. It's only about $300 a month but I have to watch the minutes, when it approaches 4000, I increase it to 6000. Only costs $50 versus we know how much if it goes over. So, the upfront cost was $100 with ( you're right) a 2 year contract of $10 a month.

They just about give them away with a new activation or a renewal of your contract. I go my Incredible 2 the very week the came out and got it for $99. If I hadn't been so lazy I would have got it at Costco for $79 but they only had it at that price for three days. By the way, I like this phone.
