Same here, to be honest. Unless VZW gets a Nexus "phablet" that I decide I just HAVE to have. I do alot of web stuff on my phone, so the bigger the screen, the better; IMHO. Still, the device had better blow my socks off, because the Bionic is a damn fine piece of hardware when you get right down to it.

I lied, I found it (not eligible for an upgrade until July)..
But my dad's looking at phones, and we know once he upgrades we'll lose unlimited data, but that's no problem for us. We're probably going into the shared plan with 4 or 6GB. That's no problem for us because even though we have unlimited data tight now, each of us barely reach 1GB of usage per month. We probably should go with 8GB but I think we can get by on 6. So far, 25 days into the cycle, I've used 266MB. Everyone else is also at less than 1GB of data.
You know, talking about phones, the ONE new phone on Verizon that impresses me spec-wise (when price is considered) is the Pantech Marauder. Now don't get me wrong, i'm not saying it is a Bionic killer - the target market and form factor take away from most of the positives. But for a low-end smartphone, a device that has a Snapdragon S4 and can score just below a Galaxy SIII on Quadrant is pretty damn impressive. Its 3.8" WVGA screen is basically the biggest thing holding it back. Talking synthetic benchmarks though, it KILLS the RAZR MAXX. Almost 60fps on Nenamark 2 when the RAZR can only manage 37fps.
Seems that the RAZR M is going to slaughter the MAXX.

Up to 1.4GB so far, still have 19 days left in the billing cycle. I'm not giving up my unlimited, either. Paying full price for whatever device finally DOES impress me will be more cost effective. And I do NOT want to have to monitor my data usage. Wifi at work sucks, so I am on 4G for at least 9 hours a day, generally more than that. If I want to download a game update at work, switching to wifi is simply not a viable option unless I want 2G speeds. Yes, our wifi is so throttled it feels like 2G, not even 3G.
How the F can that even be? I thought .246 was SOLIDLY approved, as in Punit Soni stepping in and forcing it to be approved. Maybe with the Atrix 2 soak going on right now, they actually have TIME to force another build to be approved?
Well, here we go again. New estimated release of ICS? The middle of NEXT November. I don't even know if i'm gonna install this one, i'm so sick of this ****. It'll probably break CM10 with my luck, and if so, I don't want it.
Don't know....don't care. Just pisses me off.

Well, that's another thing. I rarely use my phone when I'm not at home or at school. We have fairly good WiFi at our house, so I have little need for data there. And the school WiFi blocks a lot of websites, but there's not much of a choice because of where the school is positioned and the thickness of the walls, most people only get 1-2 bars, not even of 3G or 4G, doesn't matter what carrier either. In some areas people actually get "searching for signal". So 90% of the time I'm on WiFi.
SARGE......WTF man?!
*LOL* yeah he DOES have some explaining to do, doesn't he? This freaking came out of nowhere.
