If you want a top of line phone, I would go with Droid Bionic for 4G LTE. If you don’t need/want 4G LTE, the Droid X2 or Droid 3.

Yep. Bionic is the best phone on VZW right now. If you don’t want to pony up $300 then the Droid 3 is probably your best bet at $200, but I’d play with a DX2 or an Incredible 2 also. Inc2 is a world phone if that matters to you. If you don’t want to spend $200 then it’s going to be an outdated leftover of last year’s models so just play with them all and buy whatever you like best.

Personally I’d get a BB 9930 though. 😛 I miss real keys. ☹

Yep, BIONIC or Droid 3 would be my choice…BB sucks ass, I’d never get one.

It should still shape up to be a very nice phone, probably dual 1.5 processors.

JESUS CHRIST…I’ve looked at about 10 of those posts that droid-life has every few weeks, each time they’d have Bumfuckville, IA but not the biggest city in NY (NYC doesn’t count cause I hate that goddamn place)?

Seems like it would work nicely, Might be a good use for an old android phone after an upgrade.

would also bang Jamie Lee.

My gf’s brother bought a Bluetooth obd2 connector on ebay for like 20 bucks. Let me borrow it for a few weeks. I paired it with the torque app. It’s a neat device. Definitely buying my own.

I’ve been getting 4g on and off today …

103ms ping 7077kbps up … 473kbps down for a purely phone connection is awesome.

Yeah why return it, the BIONIC is pretty BA. If it was the thunderbolt then I could understand.
