yeah. #1...truly...but only if you're rooted.

Of course it's #1 even on a Nexus forum

I have yet to see a new phone so far that surpasses the nexus one in all the major boxes. Things like build quality, rootability, community support, hardware etc. There have been many since that have beaten in in some areas. But it is still a very solid contender.

Nexus one is by far the gold standard of smartphones right now. Yes technology will surpass it at some point, thats inevitable. But in the here and now its topdog. Lots of friends i have use iphones and various android models and ive yet to see them be able to keep up with the speed and reliability of my N1. Im rooted using cm6 rc1 (wanting cm gingerbread) and im very happy that back in march i took the blind leap and bought a N1. Yes the business model behind the selling of the N1 was flawed but the actual phone was well worth it.

I love my N1! I think that some devices beat it in some areas but as an overall phone, especially for 'nerds', it has yet to be completely beaten.

The NexusOne's position is obviously doggy-style.

I disagree, the Nexus is "on top", and definitely not "from behind"! xD

Lol If you buy the DHD you're going to be amazed by the screen. I thought I knew what was coming but holy c***p when I got the phone I was so surprised by the screen size It was like holding a 50" LED TV in my hands So I see it like this: if you really use the keyboard a lot for SMS'ing, browsing etc. buy the Desire Z but you're going to be blown away if you buy the DHD if you don't have such a big need for a physical keyboard

Hmm.. So tempted... Stop making it HARD!!!!!!
I've been on one at Harrods And it is nice... Camera is amazin... although I have yet to been on the dz ;D
eek: That first bit sounds wrong)

BTW when I first looked at the Desire Z I thought it had an amazing design. Much better than the DHD but when I really looked thoroughly I actually thought it was kind of boring. And okay if you look at the DHD it also seems like it has a rather boring look but unlike the Desire Z I actually thought it looked better when I gave it a good look
Am I making it harder? (Lol that's what she said )

root already is available, amazing.
I will buy this phone if the bootloader is unlocked and when there is a good ROM to flash, hopefully this won't be longer than about a month because I really want this phone.

I'm waiting too, but I suspect that by the time this bootloader gets unlocked (if it ever happens), the Nexus Prime will be out, and will be awesome.

Just got mine this afternoon. Rooted & debloated, it's awesome. I never use stock tons, but in this case, it's not bad....

i got mine a few hours ago. i can't put it down. love browsing the web using firefox 4 in webtop. just need to grab a bluetooth mouse and keyboard. currently using the webtop adapter right now. the on screen keyboard is a tad slow, but won't be an issue with a real blue tooth keyboard. cant wait for devs to get ahold of this monster!

Car Dock Mode
I've been around smartphones a long time and have owned most of all types on the market. The Thunderbolt is a sweet phone with some of the new custom ROMs installed. Being the technology junky that I am I had to try out the Bionic. Nice. Smooth Smooth Smooth. I had to work at making the Thunderbolt what it should have been from HTC and Verizon, but the Bionic comes that way out of the box.
I travel a great deal, the Bionic is spot on in the car dock. I use Car Dock Ultra with Audible books, Google Nav, Google Places, etc etc. This phone does it all, no hesitation, no faults - it just works.
I rooted so I could use tether occasionally on the road but for now that is a no go. Still got my Bolt so I can still get it done.
Nice phone.

Its a little black box that plugs into your phone. I have an idea what it does but not sure. The funny part is, I have one.

Waiting for My Beast!

I will have my Droid 3 tomorrow! I am upgrading from a rooted Incredible, and I am super stoked! My husband got a Blackberry Bold with his upgrade because he wanted a physical keyboard, but with the BOGO for the D3, plus the fact that it has a slide out keyboard and the HUGE QHD screen, he is coming back to Android!
Honestly, the only reason I was rooted was to overclock, but there will be no need with the D3 (for now). I researched the benchmarks on this device, and they are amazing!
Anyway, here I am, from the Eris forums to the Incredible forums, and now on to much bigger and better things in the D3 forums! WOOOOO!

Right there with you!
Except mine arrives today, Waiting impatiently for the UPS fella. I live a mile from the UPS sorting facility where they load up the brown trucks, It's been out for delivery since 7 this morning. Tisk tisk.

Umm. I can't seem to grasp it on why people think that the moto droid 3 is a beast. Mu cuzz has one and my stock LG G2x makes it look slow. Then I fire up my faux123 kernel and oc to 1500. And well you know... sry for the response. Plus your battery life is gonna really suck...lol

12 hours of heavy use and still have 20% left. Bad battery life? What?

I was waiting yesterday for 12 hours, I left to donate plasma, and it arrived 10 minutes after I left. I was sooooo annoyed. Anyways I love this beast. Smartbench I get Productivity: 3500 and Games: 2500. It is an amazing phone.

I looked up stock benchmarks for the G2X, and I've gotten a few Quadrant scores that are close to it (only about 20 points less at my max, and 90 points less at my minimum), and of course I'm still stock since there's nothing for our phone yet. So yes, this phone is indeed a beast. And the battery isn't that bad, with a decent amount of usage today (downloaded a few apps, played Cut the Rope for about 30 minutes, texted quite a bit, made a quick phone call), I'm still at 80% after almost 11 hours. Choose a better (or worse, really ) phone to argue against next time please
EDIT: Looked up some Linpack scores for the G2X, the Droid 3 kills it in both single- and multi-threaded modes

Lol... I had to do it.

Lol I love getting things stirred up. I just thought I would aggrivate a few people. But really, my cuzz phone dies in 5 hrs. Must have been a bad batch.

Depends on how you use it. Any higher end phone will choke in five hours if playing a lot of Flash and other high resource apps, non stop.

Haha! I think my husband secretly loves it!

Just ran a benchmark.... 34.94 mflops with half battery and a few things going on in the background. Not bad considering my rooted Eris never hit 6 and my rooted Incredible never hit 20.

You like getting people aggravated? Why would you post a comment just to tick people off? Relax.

I swam with an HTC Incredible S in my pocket...

...and it didn't survive. Didn't think it would haha. Gonna miss it. Just wanted to thank all the devs and this community in general, you've kept this phone alive for so long and looks like new ROMs are still about to come. You've got an awesome phone, just realised that when i was searching for a new one. Gonna get me a Google Nexus 4 now, I'm just in love with the stock Android UI. Anyway, thanks once again, I loved the Incredible S more just because of this forum!

Yeah, sadly it's such a fail. And I'm gonna miss this great phone with 2 LEDs and rotating keys, but the Nexus 4 looks pretty damn sweet with quad-core and all, apart from that glittery-like back. Keep the Inc S alive, it's still one of the best!

I want to buy a new phone too, but this Inc S of mine never got broken... lol

If it wasnt in salt water you have some chance of saving it even still. I have seen a lot of phones dry out after a week or so and become fully functional again. give it a bath in methylated spirits for a few minutes with battery, sim and sd out of course. Give it a day to dry out and see how your luck is...But if it was salt your screwed, the corrosion would be devastating...

Ah yeah tried that but it was salt water... and water got in between screen... Sad, I will miss this phone it was awesome. But I'll see how the Nexus 4 does now!

I climbed Mt kosiosko with mine. All the iPhones up there froze. But not my trusty incS.
