Looking to upgrade my original droid (Verizon) in the upcoming weeks. Should I wait until it gets closer to x-mas incase anything better comes out or is it not worth the wait? I would like to stay with an Android operating system. Suggestions? Opinions? ---

There are at least 3 phones coming in the next couple of weeks that are better than anything available right now. Nexus Prime in particular, also the Droid HD RAZR, HTC Vigor. If you’re much of a smartphone geek the moto bionic is the only droid worth considering on VZW right now. ---

Ventured over to the dark side with the Galaxy S2. Android has a lot to offer but not nearly as smooth as my i4. Might be returning this phone and waiting for the Prime. Screen brightness auto dims even when auto adjust is disabled. Screen locks when it feels like it. Takes 3.5 hours to charge LOL!?! ---

Honestly the only phones that are smooth and not laggy on everything are nexus phones and thats because there are no skins on top of android. These stupid skins that the phone manufacturers put on make them terrible, I bet if you get the Galaxy Nexus you will be happy ---

These stupid skins that the phone manufacturers put on make them terrible, I bet if you get the Galaxy Nexus you will be happy My Droid Incredible isn’t really laggy at all. I am back to stock with it running the gingerbread update, and it runs great. Maybe a HAIR of lag here and there. Nothing like what I have seen on Motorola devices to be honest. I find phones that are NOT smooth as butter to be completely unacceptable at this point. If the Galaxy Nexus shows ANY signs of lag, I’ll probably get really angry and switch to iPhone. edit: actually I wouldn’t switch to iPhone, no 4G damnit…I’d be really pissed though lol. ---

I would wait on getting the Bionic. The next week promises to be historic in Verizon/Android phones. There will be something much much better out early November. ---

Just ordered a Galaxy Tab. Intuit just came out with quickbooks for android so now I can do measurements, create an estimate and forward it to the customer to see in minutes instead of days. That’s awesome. ---

They are announcing it at 12pm today.
