Soo...what's the next HTC phone for Verizon?

[droidDOES.duh]

Verizon's changed their exchange/return to 14 days so pretty much u'll be using a 3G phone until ur upgrade. Of course u can buy a 4G device at box price or by then on eBay or from someone. There's ways around everything I suppose.

I think once 4G becomes nationwide, 3G phones will become obsolete. I remember when verizon launched evdo phones, the service kept switching between 1x and evdo which caused battery drain. Now evdo phones are history cuz 3G phones took over

They seem to be keeping them both running. With one 4G out I'm sure it'll be like that until the map shows completely 4G. So atleast for a couple years.

I heard that's why they held back the tbolts release(I also think it had to do with all the hype of the iPhone still being so high). I know people are still having battery problems so what did they fix?

Correct, its 2013 or 2014 when LTE was supposed to be full on around the country. But even then, I'll still bet there will be boondock areas that are 3G.

I think it all had to do with iphone. They wanted to get more sales before the tb launched. It's all business

I've considered that as well, and while that may be a part of it, I think it might have more to do with problems with the rollout of the LTE system and the phone itself that really held it up. Not that the iPhone doesn't figure in there at all, but I think there were deeper issues than that.

To be honest I read somewhere that metropcs 4G phone also suffers bad battery life. So it has to do with lte I guess. I think verizon or htc will give bigger batteries or start including them in new phones.

I don't think its going to last I hear all the time about how much battery the tbolt sucks. Way more then a normal 3G android and mostly due to the 4G I'm sure. Hopefully they figure something out before the next 4Gs premier. Not to mention its running off a sim card which can be deactivated and useless by doing the ota programming.

4G will last I meant more of the hype of the iPhone will die but more people will begin to see its small glitches and wait for something more useable. Even thought the tbolt is an all around good phone so far

Oh I think the overall hype of the iPhone is gone. But I will say this. It is a very nice piece of hardware. It has a place in the world just like Android does. I picked up the iPhone 4 for my wife and she absolutely loves it. She never liked my Incredible. I'm intending on staying with Android as long as possible, but I really would like to see the fracturing decrease. And people talk about Apple fans throwing away money on a new iPhone yearly. Yeah, that's once a year. How often are new Android phones coming out?

Oh, and 4G is hard on the phone. Works it much harder, plus there is the increased strain con constantly looking for a 1x, 3G or 4G signal. Just putting a heavy load on the phone.

If the incredible 2 has the same specs as tb but 3G, ill take over tb. I rather have good battery life than carrying a charger with me all the time.

Bingo. If you want to see the phone, this should be it. Including the specs and appearance.

Everything that is being said tells us that the Incredible S is being renamed the Incredible 2 here.

1.1 gb of storage? Hoping thats after sense and bloatware. The 768mb of ram is great though. I'm upgrading from a droid.
