Mysterious Device Now With November 23 Launch date

[aayoo]

This is exactly the boat that I'm in. I have been DYING to dump my Storm for a high-end Android phone. I told myself I would wait until Black Friday to see where things stand and then pull the trigger. I can't wait until March for LTE (and since I work in NYC I could enjoy LTE).

BUT if VZW doesn't come through with something terrific this holiday season I'm walking.

ALSO I will be pissed if I get the HD now and an LTE version slides down the pike in a couple of months. Having an upgrade possibility would be terrific, but seeing how VZW has handled the Droid 2/D2 Global I doubt they will, greedy sons of burritos.

So here is the thing...

Ask your self this...if you bought an HD during the holidays and loved it and kept your bill the same every month. then saw an LTE version come out and wanted it but it would raise your existing bill every month. Would you buy it?

If the answer is no you wouldnt buy it to pay extra $$ per month for an LTE device. Then you have nothing to fear. IF you would then I say buy a Droid off ebay or from a memeber here and wait out your upgrade till q1.

NO LTE devices coming this year is the word I got last night. SO I expect everything to be 3g only. Again that could be wrong but the office and place that came from has a pretty good idea of what's going on...

I mean they could even read this forum :icon_eek:

Thanks for the advice, Miami. That's something to think about.

I could get an used Droid to tide me over until March and possibly the T2/Olympus/Etna would be available at that point.

Anybody dumping their X when the HD comes out? I might just take it off your hands....

No chance on dumping my X right now. The device "supposedly" coming this month is a 3G evo/desireHD clone with some ui/spec enhancements, with a revamp for LTE coming in Q1 that will truly make it an evo4g clone. Seriously, give me something original, not sprint's best seller 6 to 8 months later.

well again more then a few enhancements... now its not the evo...but a variant kinda like the galaxy s devices..

As far as dumping my X. No i'll keep it but I may have an extra Droid laying around...let me see what i can find

I don't expect LTE in my area for at least a year, so this 3G HD is perfect. And in a year when I'm up for another new phone, I'll look into a LTE device. I love being eligible for a new phone just before Xmas every year, always great handsets coming for the holidays. Can't wait to here an official release date because my year is up on the 23rd

I understand your point BUT they don't want to lose their existing customers. I work at a bank as a manager and part of my job is to keep existing customers from leaving. If they leave it affects my branches net DDA goal for each week/month/quarter/year. VZW needs a high NET amount of accounts, not just new accounts.

Exactly. And I know many Storm users that are just waiting until November is up so they are free of their two year contract...if Verizon doesn't do this right they will lose a large base of customers.

I can seriously count over 10 people that I know friends and relatives that have Blackberry's that can't wait to get rid of them. Most of them are looking at other phone service providers because they are pissed at VZW (as am I with the Tour) about how they handled these piece of sh!t blackberry's. They don't even sale the BB Tour anymore!! I like myself am on my 3rd faulty device and I can't hold off much longer on buying a new phone. Its not about "I gotta have it now" its about me wanting something new that works properly. I've been telling folks to hold off on switching because VZW has some awesome phone coming (Merge, DincHD, Droid Pro). I don't know if I can listen to myself lol. Hopefully they release the 3g version soon and I will just sale it once the 4G version is released.

hey miami do you have any idea if the dinc hd/2 will have pre-orders like the dro pro will, or just have that wait in line midnight launch like the DX did?

 

[ChuckG73]

I hope there is a pre-order....

 

[bertowski]

I'm done with my D1. Its heavy, slow, and my thumbs take up the entire screen. Can't wait for this 4.3in screen to drop. I won't wait in line but I will preorder it. Just hit my 1yr primary line on a family plan.

Now I'm trying to figure out if I want to dump my droid 2 for this and I think the answer is yes.doubt I will see 4g in my area for at least a year but if they get it before the end of year in my area then cool. I may buy a 4g full price. but my 3g speeds are horrible so I want lte asap. If no lte by the end of next year im off to sprint I already have wimax around my house and job vzw needs to catch up real quick.and I could care less about evey where else I want to se more than 1.5mbps and 1.5 is double of what I see on a daily basis

See the thing is Miami has seen and used the Dinc HD so when he says its the Evo's big brother with a better screen and smoother Sense 2.5, makes me stick with him and this device.

I live in Philly and yes it will have LTE but I can care less about the downloand/upload speeds. Im sure at first there will be some problems, and at the same time it will be cool. To have LTE speeds, but pay a premium while they work our their kinks? I just dont think its worth it.

I have no problems waiting another year to get the new super phone around Holiday season 2011.

This 3g version is gonna be sick. Thanks for all your help Miami....and you too Viper for cleaning up that debacle last night. Man that panic button was sure being slammed!

I wouldn't say it's heavy or slow, but I would say it's not light, and it's not fast. But I do agree with you on the fact that my thumbs also take up almost the entire screen.

 

[bizzshow]

I have a d2 and guess it's no lighter and not much faster even oc plus this small screen and keyboard are becoming a pain

Can someone please answer my question? Are we getting the Inc HD 3G this year or are we waiting till March for an LTE version now? I am confused. I've gone back and read posts but everything seems to contradict one another....sorry I don't spend countless hours on this thread refreshing it and posting every five minutes....thanks.

 

[bizzshow]

Looks like 3g this year 4g next

 

[leonozug]

Thanks Bizz, I appreciate the reply.
