[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JAS_21:
I am debating what device to get next. I have used HTC for my last few handsets. I still have the unlimited data with Verizon, so if I stay with them I would have to pay retail or buy used. I like using AOSP roms, which was fine for my old Eris, but their hasn't been too many options for the Incredible 2 as far as ICS or JB roms go. Anyone have any thoughts on devices I could find used, or something upcoming thats worth waiting a few months for? If I can't get a good device on Verizon, I am not opposed to switching carriers if they have a good plan with decent coverage and data speeds.

Edit: spelling

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
Galaxy Nexus is pretty cheap right now. I got a good one for about $150 no contract before I switched to an S3

I thought of putting something witty in my signature, but I was too lazy to do it from my GS3.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phonetool:
Question:

The Gnex is LTE, right?

Question:

So it takes some tiny "SIM" card from Verizon for LTE, right?

The real question:

Starting from a DInc2 (no LTE sim) how does a person get one when jumping onto a GNex?

Do they give it to you?

Do you need it?

Am I way off base?

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Un1c0de:
I got mine from eBay a few weeks ago (manufacture refurb - perfect condition) for $190. Went to vzw store to have them switch out and they gave me the sim card. I made sure they didn't touch my unlimited data.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phonetool:
Good to know!

I'd also like to keep my grandfathered unlimited data and I'm watching craigslist for a GNex.

I recently saw people dissing the phone for poor battery and reception. The talk was so bad it swayed me temporarily from my interest in the phone. It simply can't be as bad as they said. Too many people are totally in love with the Gnex for it to be a bad phone.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsua98:
Honestly the battery is not very good. Best I've gotten is 4 hours screen on, but the selection of roms and kernels more than makes up for that
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phonetool:
That's ok, I would immediately get the fattest battery I could find for it. I love thick phones and at least a day and a half of time.

Sorry to say this, but it sounds like you need to get a job, or a hobby. I like having unlimited data as much as the next guy, but I'm pretty sure you are using more on your phone than I use through my DSL.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
No need to be an ass bro. I said I would try to hit it. I didn't say that I wasn't busy at all did I? Obviously not with finals coming up and more midterms coming up as well.

University life sucks.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
I'm not trying to be an ass, And I know all about finals and midterms. I just can't fathom how people can use that much data, and why they feel like it's a bragging point.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] david_hume:
Either way, your comment does fall out of line. What makes you think that I don't have a job or some kind of hobby other than excessive data usage?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
You're taking my comment way too seriously. It was simply a way of saying you must have plenty of time to stream lots of stuff on your phone. That's all.

Guys, when VZW ships a phone to you, do they use delivery signature stuff? I.e., do I need to be home when it arrives?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] litetaker:
Yeah. Someone needs to be at the house, not necessarily you, to sign and accept the package. If you can't make it, the courier service will leave a note that you could sign so that they can leave the package at your place the next day they deliver. Standard procedure, and I've been through it about 3-4 times. :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Amphibliam:
Balls, someone might not be home. Are you allowed to sign the thingy they leave saying they can just leave it? or does VZW say is HAS to be done in person?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] litetaker:
Yeah, as I said you can just sign that slip asking them to leave the package at your home. That is how I got my Droid Incredible 2, when I missed it on 1st delivery attempt.

So I recently got myself a PS Vita and I am sooooo happy I did! :D

And the best thing about it is not just the games but the immediacy of those games and how well the Vita handles multitasking and switching apps! There has been no platform that I know of, Android, iPhones, any of the previous consoles and in some cases even the PC that can switch back and forth between different apps and the game I am playing as smoothly and as immediately as the Vita. I can pause a game and come back to the "homescreen" check out some website in the browser, or change some settings or play music and head back to the game and the game resumes instantaneously! No loading, or any hiccups at all... It is as if I never left the game! Just brilliant! It just makes the whole experience all the more lovely! :D

Good luck with that. T-Mobile is about as good as a flying rat's ass where I live.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Card83:
Depends on where exactly you live. I lived in Florida for almost 18 years, and moved away in October 2011. T-Mobile is decent around Downtown, UCF, Winter Park, Maitland, Altamonte, and the I-Drive corridor. It was spotty west of town around the Ocoee/Winter Garden area, Longwood/Casselbury, and Kissimmee. Signal is almost nonexistant around Bithlo, Wedgefield, Sanford, and a lot of the other outskirt towns. if you go east, most of Merritt Island and Cape Canaveral was all dead zone up at least until 2009.

Granted, this is all as of about 2007-2010. They could have updated their network since then.

I'll actually be in town next week. Going to see my family in Rockledge and Cocoa Beach, then get hammered drunk in downtown Orlando for St Paddy's day and a few days following. :good:
