speaking of may....

April 7: Casio Commando -- you know it as the Casio C771 G'zOne we brought you fresh pictures of a couple weeks ago.
April 7: Samsung Charge, aka the unnamed Samsung 4G LTE smartphone from CES (see our hands-on) or the Stealth.
April 14: Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, which we've had our hands on not once, but twice.
April 28: HTC Incredible 2. This one reportedly may be a World device, with GSM and CDMA radios.
May 5: The LG Revolution, another of the phones announced at CES (see our hands-on).
Later in May: the Motorola Droid Bionic (hands-on), Droid X 2 and Galaxy S 2 (hands-on), LTE phones, all.

Is this the John Matrix edition?

CJMST3K

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.

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.

latest and greatest don't matter to me. i just want a phone that won't be outta date after a year. lol.

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

Gary Carter

i'll wait till my crapberry craps out and go from there
