    I bought an unopened Droid Incredible about a month ago from someone on Craigslist to tide me over until the new 4G Droids and hopefully 4G Iphone come out. I don't want to be under contract with a VCR.

    ...of course, when 4G comes to my area, who the hell knows. :D
    ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you. :)

    Depends on if you want the new features. The only one that looked real interesting was htc watch which is a media streamer. Ie movies. Netflix is working on an android app so that may be a mute feature. Imo, the biggest reason to wait for 3 would be the increased hardware profile. Thunderbolt is still a solid phone.

    It all depends on how long you want to wait to get the newest and greatest. I'd rather have the hardware than have sense.

    Considering the thundbolt is a warmed over evo, its already a year old. Still a good phone but if i was in the market today, i'd wait and get a dual core. But i already have a super phone. If you dont want to wait, you'll still be happy with the bolt

    looks like the droid Incredibile 2 is out, but doesn't seem that exciting. doesn't even appear to be a 4g phone. not sure why anyone would buy it.

    I'd like to know how you guys feel about Apple and Android spying on you...

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/20 ... d-services

    I'd like to get a smart phone, but I don't like the popo.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    ok, but:

    However, even if users disable location services, the iPhone and Android phones are believed to continue storing locations of cell towers and wi-fi networks in what is known as a "neighbour list".

    Google's list is limited to the most recent 50 cell masts and 200 wi-fi networks, while Apple's list is retained for up to a year. Sources close to Apple have suggested the long-term retention may be an error which it will correct in a future software update.

    Privacy advocates fear that although the data is anonymised, the Apple data is not encrypted and could be misused by law enforcement or others who wanted to capture information about someone's movements.

    One security researcher, Alex Levinson of Katana Forensics, said on Thursday that US law enforcement had already made use of the location data recorded by the iPhone in investigations.
    Some police forces, such as those in Michigan, already carry readers that can copy all the files from a smartphone even if it is protected with a password, and that it has been used on motorists stopped for minor traffic violations. The American Civil Liberties Union says such examination amounts to an "unreasonable search", which would be illegal in the US.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
