does anyone have any idea if verizon will be coming out with anything in the near future or what seems to be a good phone right now? my contract is up pretty soon ~april so its time for a new phone. sticking with android. right now i have a droid 3, sometimes a little slow since its a 3g phone, and maybe once a month itll be glitchy or lock up, but otherwise im very happy with it and use it more than i should lol. seems like theyre doing away with the keyboard which sucks…still like to use it about half the time on mine. ---
