Ok folks, don't hate me here for asking this...but, what are some of the reasons to NOT get a Rezound? Also, if you had to do it again(knowing what you know now), would you get something else? If so, which phone would it be?
Thanks all.
The only complaint I've ever had about my Rezound has been the wait for ICS but, between the leaks and the awesome people at XDA, I really can't complain. This phone does everything I want it to do and does it well. I can't think of any reason why I would want another phone.
I wouldn't get it again. There's no cm9, or cdma miui. Only option is sense which gets boring for me after a while. Not to mention all the fighting in the forums. Worst one I've been in yet... It is a good phone though if you like sense

ummm.....ok? not sure what that's all about. I'm trying to decide what to get next. That's why I posted the question(s).
I currently have a Razr and am not happy with it. Today is 14th day of my 14-day trial period and will be turning it back in this afternoon. So now I'm stuck trying to decide whether get something right away, or wait for something else and stick it out with my original Incredible. I've been leaning toward the Rezound, but just wanted a bit more input from people that have/had it.

lol just keep buyin phones and return them within their 14 day period until you find a keeper
etiher way, it's either the S3, or the Inc 4g......i'd get a rezound over both of them.

Why the Rezound over the Inc 4g?
Also how has the battery life been on the rezound? With this Razr, I still have about 40% left ay the end of a full work day. That's with calls, texting, internet browsing, Facebook, etc.
I havent really found a reason not to like it. It's a great phone. I'm running con Rom and its fantastic. Out of all the smartphones I have had, I like this one the best, for what I use it for. email, texting, tether, fb......

Only complaint is battery life could be better....gets a little hot sometimes but I overlook it.
If I had my upgrade back, I would probably buy the S3. Mainly because I *think* it will get AOSP sooner. If I'm wrong, then no, I probably wouldn't switch. As my main issue with the rezound is battery. All that being said, I don't dislike sense. I just like to switch back and forth. That and I think it would be nice to have NFC. That's the only reason I considered a Gnex. But I'm not sure if I will like the screen or not as I haven't seen it in person. If I had an upgrade today, I would compare the Rezzy to the S3 and make my decision from there. As I really do like the Rezzy.
However, from here on out I probably won't be buying another HTC after they dropped support of their tablets, some of which had only been out for 6 months. (jetstream) and those customers paid like 800 bucks on contract. To me, that's dirty. And for that, I won't be purchasing another HTC product over. It will only be my second switch since getting my first XV6800. The only non HTC product I've had was the D2, and it was because I came from the TP2 and it was the only android I thought was worthwhile that had a keyboard. Just my .02.
Anyway, the Rezzy is a great phone, and I don't regret my decision. So if you did choose it, I don't think you would either.
Rezound's battery is not great IMO.
Honestly, I would have held my upgrade a bit longer if I could redo it.

Battery drain like a Hummer uses gas. Main issue I have, other stuff is nitpicking. Pink softkeys and light leak annoyed me until a dimming mod came out for ICS ROMs. Lower visibility in sunlight than AMOLED or the newer SLCD2 displays. Same material as Gorilla Glass but off brand; may scratch and break a tad easier due to quality, a cheap TPU case at the least to provide a lip on the display and screen protector suggested.
Knowing what I know now, still would pick over the GNex and Razr at time of purchase in November/December. *Today* I may wait for a Inc4G for better battery (but screen visibility in light must be decent for me to give up 720p) or a GSIII for performance if money or contract update factors were not considered.

What, internet editor reviews? Who in mainstream takes into consideration all the mods and ROMs here? And puts it into context for the current state of affairs, such as new phones and software updates? Don't mind these questions of the community at all during milestone events, best way to get info.
Rating thread 5 stars.
I bought mine at Launch after briefly playing with the other options at the time. I STILL think it was the best choice at the time and I still think it is the best choice out there right now.
Obviously haven't been able to compare side by side with the Incredible 4g or SGS3, but I'm happy waiting to see what happens this fall - hoping HTC will do something really exciting (besides a "phablet").
........ my $.02.
If you like sense and can deal with a not so great battery.... BUY BUY BUY!!!!
If you want AOSP and expect a thriving developer community.... RUN RUN RUN!!!!
That snot to say there is 0 development. There are some really great developers here, Joelz, Newt, and they do some great things with Sense. Scott is really good at releasing debloated and stable ROMs. I'm running his ROM right now actually.
Just don't let the unlocked bootloader fool you. I think most of the developers on VZW contracts switched to the G-Nex because of it's developer friendly nature.
I'm not big on Sense so I regret my decision.
battery drain but u can have bigger battery and get 5 hours screen time
heat - yea too much 44c or more if its summer after 10-20min on web [wifi]
extended battery will help reduce heat and get u far from it
why to buy rezound
screen res
sense4 [thx to newt ]
sdcard [hard to find those days]
removable battery
4.3 not 4.7/8 inch screen [ mostly cant reach the top side of the screen]
not far behind in term of performance
Im currently a Fascinate user trying to decide whether the Rezound is worth my last upgrade before the data plans change next week. thanks to XDA and flashing kernels\ROMS, my Fassy has been the best phone I have ever had. I hate to see it go.
Ive been reading everything here I can on the Rezound v. Gnex (even iphone since my gal finally replaced her original incredible with the 4s yesterday). I really am leaning towards; I think the Rezound is the most underrated phone at VZW right now, I just dont like Sense and the battery issues. But I trust devs to find fixes for each, just like they did for me in the Fassy forum.
For me, Androids are getting too big. I dont need a brick in my pocket. The combo of size and poor reception has me thinking the mod friendly nature of Gnex still isnt worth it and that SIII wont make me happy.
I love droid, is the Rezound worth making a final stand on ?

If those are your most important features, you might want to get a Razor Maxx. The best thing about the Rezound is the multimedia stuff. If you will be outside alot, do not get the Rezound.
I was in the same situation as you. I first got a Razr Maxx and did not like it, mainly because of the screen. I returned it and got the Rezound. In my opinion, the Rezound is an excellent device in its own because I have practically nothing to complain about. Battery life is according to everyone's usage habits and I think it's not bad. Camera is excellent and performance is awesome. The only thing I don't like about it is that it can be complicated for a non-techie guy to root it and have S-off (I am still trying to get S-off with no success). I don't really care for AOSP because a de-sensed Rom with Apex or Nova launcher in my opinion is better. However, right now, if I were you, I would hold on to my upgrade and wait for the Samsung Galaxy S III. Definitely. I would have gone with the Galaxy S II already if it was on Verizon.
I can honestly say that it was the best phone for the money. That's really the only reason I bought mine. Otherwise, I would've gone for a Galaxy Nexus.
Thanks for the input; I talked vzw into letting me upgrade a month early due to 'technical issues' with corporate email never quite working right, which has been a dissapointment (hasnt worked right on fassy since eclair.....). The catch is, I can upgrade to any android, but not an iphone.
Ill strongly consider the SIII as a preorder, and rezound is my second choice at this point. Would have to do either in the next few days to keep my grandfathered alltell unlimited plan. The S looks big for me however, would be nice to see it in person first

Ok so I haven't kept up with phones for the last couples of months since Skyrim's been taking all my computer time.
Gonna go upgrade and I'm pretty set on the Rezound. I really like the Galaxy Nexus but despise the fact that there's no sd card slot and do not really wanna support a samsung phone without that feature.
So my questions for those who have had the rezound (or Gnex) a couple of months are:
-rezound or nexus (or even razr but i'm not too fond of motorolas)
-how's the battery life on rezound (i come from the original incredible and currently the thunderbolt, so i'm used to horrendous battery life)
-how's developer support (i've checked both xda devoper forums, they both seemed about 4 pages so far)
-is tethering support as good as thunderbolt/incredible was?
-any other issues i should be aware off before pulling the trigger?
thanks all and I know I could go read engadget reviews etc but i really trust the opinions and commentary of the folk on xda
already plenty of threads about this, you didn't need to start another one...
I love my rezound, especially after we got a stable ics rom! Personally, i havent had any problems with overheating or whining noises like others, but my first rezound had weird static on the screen, but my current (2nd) one has no issues, Battery could get you through the day, or at least til you get home. It all depends how u use it. I came from the eris, but noticed a BUNCH of Droid Incredible devs are over here, so you should feel at home pretty quick. Imo, I feel i have the best phone in the world lol
Sent from my ICS Rezound
I owned both. Reception sucks on the Nexus. It's pretty sad when a 2 year old Dinc can have great reception with data while the Nexus next to it can only make calls.
I took the Nexus back and kept the Rezound. Haven't regretted it.

Thanks for the replys guys. Yeah when I saw it too the phone reminded me of the incredible, which I still keep 2 off and personally think it was the best phone at the time it came out .
It's good to hear a lot of dev's are over. Saw the ICS rom which says is 99 percent stable and may try that right away. Any comments on how well tethering does or does not work?
@ nosympathy: Yeah I checked back a few pages but found nothing current, I know theres been plenty of discussion about this topic but I just wanted to get some current views from people who have had the phone and get a sense of how sattisfied they are, which is hard to do looking at threads were people are just spouting out the specs
On the gb roms both usb and wifi tether worked for me, havent tried ics yet
batterywise, i get like anywhere from 13-17 hours a day, and i do a good amount of facebookin/textin/browsin/XDAin/Redditing/google talkin, etc
Posting in this forum, you're going to get mostly biased answers. I say if you need it right now, go for the rezound, if you can wait a little bit, check out the Droid Razr Maxx. That 3300mah battery in a slim package is very tempting.
I would get the rezound if it was $100 more, at $100 less its a no brainer.

Yeah the thunderbolt with a standard battery will hardly make it through half of the day, it does great with the extended battery but then it looks like a pig.

Is that one gonna be similar to the razr then? Similar specs and similar package but a nicer battery? That wouldn't be too bad, it may convince me if it comes out soon but would rather not wait too long.

Yeah that's what convinced me, I was looking at those around christmas at 300 dollars and they looked tempting, but I think 200 dollars is really the sweet spot for using your upgrade.
Either way it looks like from all the replies that nobody has any major problems or regrets with picking the rezound over the gnex. That's really encouraging to see as and makes my choice a lot easier.
Just got the Rezound yesterday. Played with the nexus for a week and decided to stick with HTC since I have two other upgrades for later.
What's the draw of the Nexus? ICS. I can't run sense on it and I love sense. Every Nexus ROM looks the same. With the Rez we can have sense, ICS sense, or regular ics. That's the no brainer for me.
Go for the Rezound man development is really starting to pick up you can currently get ICS for both phones on top of HTC releasing Rezound OTA ICS update soon!
While we're not sure exactly when HTC is going to drop the ICS OTA, I love my Rezound. Sense is..less than stellar, in my opinion. It's just looking dated.
I played with my friend's GNex for a day and was definitely impressed, as he was impressed with my Rezound. The GNex's screen is pretty, yes - but it's pentile. He couldn't see it, but I could - not sure if I have super eyesight, but it's there and cannot be unseen. And it's Samsung which is -50 points for me.
At the end of the day of comparing phones we both agreed that there was no loser in the GNex vs. Rezound debate, just two winners. One of them just happens to have a way better camera
I can tell you from a retail side of things, we are selling lots of Rezounds. The GNex was moving big numbers the first 2-3 weeks. I am still sitting on December inventory. I own both phones. I love both phones. The Rezound especially dropping down to $199 is an absolute steal, still comes with the Beats headphones. I am curious why the price drop.
I love the Rezound especially with the ics clean rom. If you're into flashing roms and stuff go for it. I get pretty good battery. I get a full day on light use with some battery to spare. But 4g blazin with heavy use and i get about 6 hours i'd say.
Rezound=Win
I went through this same situation in december. If you dont mind the thickness the Rezound is better. I am a flash-aholic, and it was a gamble for me because of development. But ill tell you what it all payed off. I think the galaxy nexus is a great device but the Rezound out performs in every way except thickness.

I meant I would buy the rezound over the gnex if the rezound was 399 and the gnex was 299, with the rezound $100 cheaper the gnex isn't even an option for a sane person.

Exact same specs as the razr but slightly thicker (In no way fat at all, much thinner than the rezound) to accommodate the larger battery.
Hi gang!
I am currently a Moto guy and have been for years. However I have play with a few of HTC's android's and I must say I like he Sense.
I have really been thinking about trying to get an HTC (ReZound) but would like to list here my main usage of my phone and get some input as to what you all think I should do.
Phone Usage:
Photos: Personal (family) use of the phone but use it a lot and would like good quality images.
Audio: Enjoy listening to music on my phone from time to time.
Video: Do enjoy watching video's, as well as recording some every now and again.
Text: LOL Do a lot of this.
Reception: Need to have a really decent radio, hate being out and can't send or recieve a phone call or have it sound like you are under water or soemthing, so that brings me to...
Sound: Need a good earphone piece for the phone, needs to be clear / crisp.
Finally
Theme's and ROM's: From what I read it seems pretty easy to aquire those for the HTC (ReZound). I know you can get stock themes from the market and etc.
Any and all input would be appreciated.
Thanks, Slim!
Honestly man, the Rezound gets the job done no matter what you're doing. It's a really well rounded phone with little to no issues. There's plenty of modified Sense ROMS and AOSP is just around the corner and there was a recent price drop. You can't go wrong.
I came from the OG droid, and was all ready to get the GNex due to all the hype and ICS. After, reading more and comparing hardware and going to various forums. I heard of alot of initial problems with the GNex that some were having and decided to get the Rezound.
Figured, through Best Buy I had 30 days and once the Gnex was fixed i would swap . Well, it has been 36 days and I am still on the Rezound and haven't regretted it yet !
The Rezound is the best phone I've ever owned.
What's important to you?
I love my graphics and I love my Rezound. I played with the SGN for a bit but didn't feel right. It is nice that the SGN is getting so much love from devs but Beats/Video put the Rezound above the SGN imo. ICS Sense is so-so but that's because I prefer AOSP. Definitely not as many devs for this phone as the SGN but how many mods do you want for your phone? Not sad at all that I didn't get the Nexus. Good luck! Although, if you've held out this long, might as well hold out for the quad-cores. I think my next phone will be the next Nexus though.
SlimMan, I was also a "Motorola Guy". I started with an OG RAZR, then went to the Z6 ROKR, then the OG Droid, and finally VZW upgraded me to a Droid X so I'm very familiar with the Motorola devices.
I decided to go with the Rezound after hearing great feedback about HTC devices from a couple friends and am thrilled with the quality of this phone. It'll excel at everything you're intending to use it for and I encourage you to give the Rezound a chance. You won't be disappointed.
I appreciate all the replies, I am def. Keeping the Rezound in mind. Please feel free to continue feedback as any and all is appreciated.
Slim!

I am the head of the cell phone dept where I work (186 phones) & get my phones free. I can have any phone I want & my personal phone is a Rezound.
IMHO, the Rezound at this point is hands down the best phone ever made. We have a few Galaxy Nexus phones on our account & I think that phone turned out to be one of the biggest disappointments in recent history.
I basically waited 6 months to buy the Nexus. When I finally got my hands on one, I used it for about a week & passed it on to a coworker. I was shocked that after all the hype & the release date being shoved back so many times that the Nexus turned out to be so much less than most people expected it to be.
Been using this phone for nearly 2 weeks now, and for the most part, I've been happy. However, with the Galaxy S III coming in a few weeks, I feel as though I should have at least waited before figuring out which phone I was going to use for the next 2 years. Because of that I decided to return the phone back to Wirefly and go back to using an old Blackberry until I decide to go back to the LTEVO or the GS III. I sold my E4GT so I can't go back to that.
LTEVO Pros
-Beautiful screen
-Excellent build quality and in-hand feel
-Very good (relatively) 3g performance in my area
LTEVO Cons
-Phone performance not that great, especially after opening and switching between a few apps
-Camera is good, but not nearly as good as I had hoped it would be
The two cons are biggies for me. I know for a fact that the sluggishness is related to software, but if you've ever used a Galaxy S II device, you'll realize how spoiled you were by how fast and responsive that phone was. It's an HTC thing; their software sucks compared to Samsung. Even using the T-Mo GSII based on the Qualcomm SoC felt a lot faster than any HTC phone based on the same SoC. I'm not saying TouchWiz is more functional than Sense, I'm just saying it's FASTER, which is 100% true.
The camera is good but the low light performance isn't as great as I had hoped it would be. Comparing to shots from my GSII, LTEVO shots were much more grainy. I also don't like the HTC camera software, and it might even be Sense related. I feel the software isn't fast nor intuitive. I hate the focusing mechanisms. Call me crazy, but I like crosshairs and boxes that help you determine what exactly is being focused. Also, the software isn't responsive. Taking out my phone and snapping a picture isn't very fast. It's acceptable, but like I said, with another great phone around the corner, there's really no reason why I shouldn't test them both and then decide which of the two I'd rather keep.
I'm not trying to bash the LTEVO. I'm sure we'll all agree, the device is far from perfect (all the devices are, in fact). However, I think most of us have the opportunity of trying BOTH phones before finally deciding which to go with. In a sense (no pun intended), the LTEVO delay was a blessing in disguise. Had it been launched on time, we'd be stuck with it. Now we have the chance of putting it up against a very formidable opponent and choosing which phone fits our style better. The GSIII could very well suck, but thankfully we have the luxury of being able to choose the phone we want because of how close together their launches were. I could be returning my phone, just to re-purchase it in a month, but I feel I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If the GSIII is a rockstar then I'm going to be kicking myself for not getting it instead.
Anyway, does anyone else feel as though they jumped the gun, and will be trying out the GSIII?
I feel this way only a little bit.. luckily best buy has a 30 day exchange. I am going to try both of them. This is a pretty solid phone, but I can not stand the browser always flashing white while scrolling, and the reception issues. I know both probably can get updated to work fine, but it is bothering me. I am going to test out the GSIII and see how the radios perform. If they are not up to speed I will probably stick with this phone and hope the updates come soon enough.

We are still on a stock ROM since it was released a couple weeks ago. I would imagine some of the issues you describe will be ironed out in upcoming ROM updates from Sprint and HTC. You also forgot other pros about this device like very good battery life, Beats by Dr. Dre, outstanding camera. No I didn't jump the gun. The GS3 will not be perfect at release also. Every device has bugs that need fixing.
If you think the camera isn't that great, take a look at one of the pictures I posted a while back here in the General forum.

Not at all. I don't use Samsung on principle, they are in bed ith Apple and playing both sides of the market. I have used the SGS phones and they're not better or worse, just different - depending on what you value in a phone. I also don't experience any of the cons you are complaining about, but everybody has different expectations and experiences.
Why do so many people start threads asking for others to take their side in decisions like this? If you don't like the phone, just return it and keep looking until you find something you do like. You don't need 1000 signatures on your petition to return the phone. It's your preference, do what works for you.
Just know that you'll be able to find something wrong with the SGS3 as well if you're honest with yourself.

Bro, settle down. It has been said before, our phone is only 12 days old. There will be people overanalyzing minor discrepancies and having that "buyer's remorse". Give it another couple weeks and the "WHY DID I BUY THIS?!" posts will go away.

It's an HTC thing; their software sucks compared to Samsung. Even using the T-Mo GSII based on the Qualcomm SoC felt a lot faster than any HTC phone based on the same SoC. I'm not saying TouchWiz is more functional than Sense, I'm just saying it's FASTER, which is 100% true.
The camera is good but the low light performance isn't as great as I had hoped it would be. Comparing to shots from my GSII, LTEVO shots were much more grainy. I also don't like the HTC camera software, and it might even be Sense related. I feel the software isn't fast nor intuitive. I hate the focusing mechanisms. Call me crazy, but I like crosshairs and boxes that help you determine what exactly is being focused. Also, the software isn't responsive. Taking out my phone and snapping a picture isn't very fast. It's acceptable, but like I said, with another great phone around the corner, there's really no reason why I shouldn't test them both and then decide which of the two I'd rather keep.
I'm not trying to bash the LTEVO. I'm sure we'll all agree, the device is far from perfect (all the devices are, in fact). However, I think most of us have the opportunity of trying BOTH phones before finally deciding which to go with. In a sense (no pun intended), the LTEVO delay was a blessing in disguise. Had it been launched on time, we'd be stuck with it. Now we have the chance of putting it up against a very formidable opponent and choosing which phone fits our style better. The GSIII could very well suck, but thankfully we have the luxury of being able to choose the phone we want because of how close together their launches were. I could be returning my phone, just to re-purchase it in a month, but I feel I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If the GSIII is a rockstar then I'm going to be kicking myself for not getting it instead.
Anyway, does anyone else feel as though they jumped the gun, and will be trying out the GSIII?

This is nothing compared to the EVO3D forums and all the Samsung SGS2 trolls that used to post how much better the SGS2 was.

Yea these people are getting ridiculous.. You don't like the camera app? What's not to like? I your reaching for that.. Go into the gs3 forums and you will quickly find out that people are having problems with them as well.. Not a phone problem as much as being an early adopter problem.. Can't believe u don't like the camera.. Some people will never be happy.. I'll end with this.. A software update will fix all these issues ppl have..multi tasking being my main one.. But a software update won't give uba metal unibody, kickstand and just an overall better built phone.. Same s4 chip in ppl.. I swear ppl are adhd nowadays
Nah. I don't have any performance issues and the only camera issue I have is that the hardware shutter button is half useless (only holds the focus, does not refocus when half pressed)
Also Deck is working on CM9 for the evo lte so that is a huge pro right there.
The battery life is amazing.

Bro, settle down. It has been said before, our phone is only 12 days old. There will be people overanalyzing minor discrepancies and having that "buyer's remorse". Give it another couple weeks and the "WHY DID I BUY THIS?!" posts will go away.

I didn't feel like this until i found out about the 2gb ram in the gs3. I like everything about the phone though, just wish it had 2gb. I wanted the best phone spec wise fir longer than a couple weeks.
I understand the agitation since every time I refresh xda I see another one of these posts.. I guess it's just hard for me to imagine wanting a Samsung.. I'm hard core HTC.. And with or previous devices I was willing to concede that maybe Samsung were better in some areas.. IE the gs2 vs my evo 3d.. The gs2 may have been better I guess to some or most of but I wouldn't have it.. I loved my 3d despite all the naysayers.. Anywho I really believe that with the evo LTE that HTC is back on top.. Esp hardware wise.. I dunno how someone could even argue that the gs3 is better in that regard.. Esp. With the same soc...so the software bugs will get worked out.. Just hold out... It's ok to enjoy your phone and focus on what it does well instead
I don't think I jumped the gun, just wish I had a magical gun to make all the Samsung trolls disappear

Well I've had the rezound since it came out and I always loved it. But it's a little outdated now and development has slowed quite a bit. So I'm thinking about getting a new phone.
I'm 99% sure I'm not gonna get the iPhone, even though I love my iPad and MacBook I think android is better than the iPhone.
The galaxy nexus is one of my top choices but I think they might be coming out with a new one soon and I would rather wait.
The s3 is my top choice as of now.
I don't see any reason to get the d inc lte.
I'm looking for battery life that is better than my rezound. I would like a decent screen but it's not that important. Most importantly I want the phone to be smooth and fast. And I would love something that is getting jb.
So what do you think? Keep the rezound or get another phone? Any suggestions other than what I listed?
Thanks!

Honestly i would wait for the next nexus device and cross my fingers its made buy htc lol. I love sense and all but i really like the fact that a nexus is made exactly for that version of android at the time and is still in mind when they make a new os. Like the nexus s came with gingerbread, then ics, and will soon get jellybean i here. I mean 3 os updates and it runs even better than when it came out with gb, unlike many other phones (not the rezound) when they get a os update they start to usually slow down because its not made with that os in mine. But thats just me lol
Thanks! I think I'm gonna stick with my rezound for now. If the one x comes to Verizon I'll get that
Unfortunately they've already said Sammy's making the next Nexus.
Actually I guess that's not official... Just based on a leaked Samsung spec sheet.

I've fought tooth and nail defending this phone for its outstanding hardware, but I'm starting to think it may be time to throw in the towel. The radios have amazing signal compared to Samsung. Problem? My strong as hell 4G signal stalls constantly. It never drops, just stalls all communications. I was so happy to see data stalls listed as fixed on this new ruu leak, but its completely untrue. No change. Not to mention the kernel drama. Still runs hot as hell. My respect for HTC has gone straight out the window this time. Not even aosp can redeem it for me now. So in short, I'm ready for a New phone as well and tell you go for it.

I bought a new iPhone for my sister a few months ago. I was setting it up for her and had it side by side next to my Rezound for about 4 or 5 days. I was just shocked at what a piece of crap it was. The screen was so small, it was like holding a kids toy or something. Honestly, it was painful to look at with its tiny, tiny screen.
3G just sucks. Granted, it was on Sprint's network (which I hear is not as good as Verizon) but 3G just sucked. Slow, spotty... Downloading apps seemed to take forever compared to my blazing fast 4G.
No widgets? WTF? I had to click on 3 or 4 things just to get to a Bluetooth control panel - my Rezound has a link right to the Bluetooth control panel on the homescreen. I love the big clock/weather widget on my homescreen, and having 4 different apps I can immediately go into during an unlock is terrific.
I have a few friends who have iPhones. One day, one of those guys who does sales (and is kind of an ass) started projecting that "I'm awesome because I own and iPhone and I love it and I love me and Im soo dam kewl" attitude - and I just tore him to shreds with the above three points.
He countered with "Well, I use iTunes and all my stuff is there and it magically appears in my iCloud, bla bla bla". I admitted he did have a point, but I ripped into him about how much iTunes sucks/I have my own cloud/etc. But I make sure to rip on him and his tiny screen and slow bandwidth opium of the masses toy whenever he brings it up.
I honestly feel sorry for people who are blinded by how cool they think they are because they bought an iPhone. Seriously, it reminds me of these people who are brainwashed into a religious cult and think they are going to be teleported to a paradise planet by an alien named Xennue or something.
I use Gmail/Google Calendar/Google Contacts/Google Docs... I have no desire to give that up for an iPhone.
However, I do like my iPad. Now that it can run Chrome, its actually nice. I can easily access all the above with little hassle.
Other than this ICS/Google Maps 6.10 debacle, I've had no issues with my Rezound whatsoever. With its extended battery, its just a great piece of hardware. I can't see myself changing that for any reason for a long, long time...
Now... Tablets... that's another story...

Wow so much animosity towards the iPhone. Its really not a bad device. Both iOS and Android are solid platforms, and both have their pros and cons.
EDIT: Scratch all that i mustve overlooked the fact you have an iPad, so you do like the platform. As for the cultish fanboyism of ios yeah its there, but its going to exist everywhere. We have fanboy android users with the same mentality.
Well if I get a new phone it will be the s3. So what do you think, rezound or s3? I really don't know what to do here. I've been with htc since the apache. The galaxy s3 looks pretty good though. What do you think?

Well said Webmastuh . Hehehe.. iphones may be slick, but they are highly overrated. Lots of these new Android phones whoop ish*ts a$$. The Rezound is an excellent piece of hardware, when paired with the proper software and firmware. The S3 is an excellent handset. The interface and graphics acceleration are much faster than the Rez, but as you know, Samsung has always had poor radios. Idk if they have improved it on the new S3 though...

Ha! Yeah, sorry if the post came off full of iPhone/iOS vitriol. I agree - both iOS and Android are both solid OS's/Platforms and both have their pros and cons. For the record I work with both and I'll program for either. I dropped the "religious fervor" about this stuff a while ago - they are all just tools.
I actually have a couple of iPads, and like a lot of things about them. I use them a lot to do actual productive work (mostly note taking and emails on the go). I have a couple of Android tablets, and I'm interested in getting a Surface.
But I'm sticking with my attack on iPhones. G3 sucks compared to my Rezound's G4, the iPhone screen is much smaller than my Rezound, and iPhone doesn't have widgets (and that shouldn't be overlooked. They are convenient as heck.)
I found out the other day that if I ever want to upgrade my Rezound with a subsidized phone from Verizon, I MUST drop my unlimited data plan for one of those metered plans they have. I told the rep I would never do this, and that I'd fire Verizon and switch to Sprint or T-Mobile first.
But the question I had was why upgrade my phone? The answer was "for new functionality that comes out". My answer was "I'll just do new functionality on a tablet, and keep my phone as-is." I'm a pretty imaginative guy, but I can't see why I'd have a specific need to upgrade my phone anytime soon. If some new killer-must-have app comes out tomorrow that doesn't run on a Rezound - cool, I'll just get it on a tablet. I'll keep the Rezound for basic stuff and use other advanced/new stuff on a tablet. The Rezound will be relegated to a bandwidth pipe with some basic email checking functions. Oh, and actual phone calls...
Maybe if 5G comes out that the Rezound can't handle... (and it would have to be a 5 - 10 times better than 4G to make it worth it), then maybe I'd consider replacing my Rezound... Unless a tablet comes out that has it built in... Or maybe some specific must-have thing would work better with a small form factor, but then again it might also be available in 5-7inch tablet for $200...
Switching back to my old phone....
Maybe I'm crazy (don't answer that), but I'm seriously thinking about switching back to my Dinc2 from the Rezound. After using the Rezound for several months, I'm just not that crazy about it. Sure, its bigger and has 4G, but everything about it - flashing ROMs, S-On/S-Off, this radio, that radio - is so COMPLICATED. The Dinc2 is just so much easier.
And I know that development on the Dinc2 has slowed way down, but it has on the Rezound too. I guess I'm just not sure what I should do, but I don't want to switch, then switch back again because I miss 4G. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'd advise against reactivating a 3g phone on your line, especially if you have unlimited or a double data deal. Verizon is looking for any excuse to take those away, and switching between a 4g and 3g phone apparently qualifies. (Seriously, I've been on the phone with Verizon all morning trying to fix my uncle's plan).
if you have questions on flashing, just ask, there are helpful rezound people around.

I was wondering about that. Thanks for the info. That may just be enough to make me want to stay on the Rez. :good:
I don't know why people think dev on the Rezound is slowing because it's actually at more of a standstill. But, the OTA updates have dropped and now we are waiting for source to drop. Once that happens I have a feeling dev will continue on again and hopefully continue on long after the Rezound's shelf life much like the orig Incredible.
I am seriously considering getting the OG for my next phone. Only one thing worries me, and that is the development community. I have been burned before (HTC Vivid) by buying what looks like a great phone, only to get no support from the dev community. What are everyone's thoughts on this? Do you think the devs are going to come, or is the draw of the N4 too great?

Well, obviously the dev community is here to the extent that Team CodeFire has successfully unlocked the bootloader. There is also a modified stock ROM available (which I am happily using). We should also be expecting AOSP 4.2 pretty soon (heard rumors of possibly this Friday). While there aren't many ROM options at the moment, the dev community is definitely present and I believe it's only a matter of time before we start seeing more support.
I am seriously hoping that the N4 base is able to be easily ported over as mentioned. This would make this phone a Nexus 4 but with LTE and SD!!
Honestly though, I feel LG really has a nice UI on top compared to Sense and TouchWiz.
I am definitely watching with great interest. Would love to upgrade to the OG, even though my wife insists nothing is wrong with my Vivid. I have had it over a year. Isn't that reason enough to upgrade...

Take this with a grain of salt: as in I hold no liability for this point of view.
The Captivate had identical hardware to the Nexus S and it *STILL* has a strong dev community. There is more that goes into that than just devs but, the similar hardware helps loads.
The phone despite have a very low number of devs still has an unlocked bootloader and I feel safe in saying the devs who are here are fairly high quality.
Even if we never attract a large number of devs/users the reality is we are in a beautiful spot compared to a lot of other devices right now.
It's also important to keep in mind our numbers can still grow big time. The more users we get, the more interested devs we get, the more we all benefit.
And being honest.. if you go play with the phone in store.. you probably will walk out with it... It's really, really, nice. I mean the other phones in store didn't hold a candle to it at bestbuy or at&t.

I did want to NOT like this phone - mainly because it's an LG. But it's stupidly fast and smooth. If we see AOSP 4.2 or CM 10.1 on this beast it will be unstoppable! :cyclops:
I was hell bent on getting the Note 2 for weeks; the day I went to get one, I walked out with the OG and I have no regrets. LGs UI is a welcome change and will tide me over until the custom roms show up.
You totally should get the phone as is. Even with no further dev support. You have root, unlocked bootloader, and the stock rom debloated with tether functionality restored.
There is nothing you can't do with the stock rom. And when Jellybean comes out from LG, it will be debloated again. So even if you don't want the nexus rom or cyanogenmod (you'd be crazy not too), it's the best phone out right now. Even better than the Nexus 4.

I was seriously wanting the Note II as well because the huge screen but this UI I feels MUCH better then TouchWiz and hardware wise it is an absolute beast. Not to say the Note II isn't fast but nothing is touching this device right now. This phone is screaming fast just imagine when it gets 4.1 or 4.2!
I just couldn't go for the Nexus 4 since it seriously lacks storage space. 8 or 16GB with no SD??? C'MON! Hell, I just installed The Bard's Tale and selected the HD pack and it took up 3.5GB on it's own. Missing LTE even further drives the nail down.
Unfortunately, most people outside of hardware geeks don't know how amazing this beast of a phone is. Then half the one who are hardware gurus are scared because its an LG. I convinced the guy next to me at work to pick up the Sprint version. He absolutely loves it too.
I would use the upgrade that I have on Att.. but the Dev community is very important to have... Only time will tell.. watching with great interest.

I was microscopically close to pulling the trigger on the SG3 when I decided last minute to get the OG. Never regretted it for a second and I'm still bone stock.
Looking to get this as well It's down to the N4 or this. Really want LTE. Badly. But don't want to get screwed over for dev community, but I highly doubt that will happen. AOSP ROMs are on their way, undoubtedly.
from what i was told with small modifications n4 roms will run just fine on the lgog also. so that opens up way more possibilities if that is true
This is definitely one of the best devices currently since it runs buttery smooth even on ICS. 4.1/2 or CM will make this device unbelievable.
Talked my brother into getting one. He ordered his optimus g today and it was back ordered (The s3 disappeared from amazon for att days ago, probably why.) so im gonna go out on a limb and assume we will get some more people working in here in the near future.

Agreed. It's almost like they just took AOSP & tweaked it juuuuuust a little bit. I actually like it.
Thanks for all of the great advice. I think you guys have me convinced. Friday is the day, if I can find it locally for $99.
