Many of the OG Droid owners are nearing phone renewal time so hopefully many of them pick the Droid 3. Of course there is a lot more out there now for android phones so some of them may leave for other phones. I'm someone who likes having the option of a physical keyboard so the Droid 3 was for me.
I think our major players are starting to emerge. But yes, a lot of D1 and D2 owners are coming up for renewal, and we are deathly loyal to our droids.
That, and being one of the few dual core phones, a world phone, and a physical keyboard give it MAJOR appeal.

I seriously hope so this phone has so much potential!
/droid3
im hoping so too
I'm sure it will it just depends on on what they can do to the phone. And definitely if moto unlocks the bootloader. Then we have pretty much much have a overcharged 3g dominating phone. Especially if ChevyNo1 and peter Alfonso jumps aboard sorry for any misspellings in the dev names

Hmm well at the very least, I for one am getting this device tomorrow to start experimenting with it which will mean camera image and video enhancements.
First thing I will do once rooted will be to tweak the bitrate values for images, video/audio and fix the white balance tolerance/default colour matrix.
Then including smaller resolution values as menu options, strange why they only added 8mp and 6mp options, I need 3mp for some situations.
I think the phone will be perfect with only a few modifications as i'm a fan of stock firmware.

I am planning on working on the Droid 3, I have tried to root, and am still trying, but all attempts have been unsuccessful as you can tell. I do not doubt root will be found for the Droid 3 at all though.
It seems like alot of good people are working on it so I don't doubt that we'll get it soon
/droid3
My faith lies within the community. I know well get this achieved!

Whos getting the Thrill 4G?
I think I may get it. This phone is great and all but GPS blows because of the mfg defect of the back GPS antenna not making contact. This proved a huge pain in the arse Friday when I actually had to use the navigation. In order for it to work correctly I had to keep my finger firmly pressed on the antenna...

The Thrill is my AT&T company phone, I'm an employee, and the battery life is ABYSMAL! If you thought the Inspire was bad, wait til that one comes out. Trust me, don't do it. Trying to setup my Exchange email, battery dropped from 93 to 79 in about 10 minutes of me fiddling with it. All on "4G".

The thrill is a nice phone to an extent. I am not a huge fan of the 3D screen on it but the 3D camera is kinda of cool. I would still rather have a samsung or htc device. I was playing with one for a few days but wasnt a huge fan.

This wont be on Att I bet though. And besides, it wont be much better than the sgs2 anyway. It'll most likely have the 720p screen to stand out.

Really? This (http://www.bgr.com/2011/08/17/lg-thrill-4g-review/) and a few others I've read says it's shipping with 2.2 with a promised 2.3 update from ATT. nothing about ICS
1ghz dual core is cool, but only 512mb RAM? running froyo? this doesn't exactly seem like a step forward. and if the battery life is really as abysmal as stated previously, it won't be something i'm interested in

I have already ordered my Thrill 4G from radioshack acouple of weeks ago... supposed to be out this week (sept 4th) now with Gingerbread pre-installed... fingers crossed!!!
my heart isnt set on the 3d asspect... it is the fact that is a dual core dual ram dual channel device... for 79.99 at radioshack and target!!!
thats a good deal... throw a custom rom on there with some optimizations..and there ya go!!!
i am a Samsung junkie i had only one other lg smartphone before... lg incite.. wm 6.1 SUCKED BALLS perfomance wise till i put custom rom on..
actually it was a tough little device.. basically unbrickable.
so if i dont like the lg thrill and really think it isnt worth it... i will take it back and i will get the Infuse... my friend has one that i put a nice rom on and it blows everyphone i have ever played with out of the water...
i love the AMOLED screen and the weight and "slimness"...
anywho,
Good Luck to me... gonna get it Sunday.

From what I've read about the Optimus 3D, even though it has only 512 of RAM, because of the RAM being dual channel it is still suprisingly not laggy, if at all. Yes, it would be smooth as hell if it had more, but reviews have said that 512 of dual channel RAM is not too much of a drawback.
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using the XDA app
It might be just me but the 3D gives me a headache.
News on the thrill...
Radioshack confirmed today... delays were originally due to the noted screen defect on several devices... secondly getting a manufacturing deal with corning... the makers of gorilla glass... they were supposed to get a deal... looked like they lost it... were considering raising the price... they worked it out and all is well... they also confirmed it will ship with gingerbread update installed....
Congrats to all those patient enough to wait!!!

I guarantee that when the gingerbread or icecream sandwich update comes out development will pick up. What we really need right now is a way to get our radio compatible with optimus 3d roms. There's a lot of development for that phone which is identical except for the fact it doesn't support all the same basebands. Its roms work for the Thrill except no 4g and no mms. They have a cyanogenmod project going too.
EDIT: maybe getting some bounties going would help...

I'm not disappointed due to lack of support, as it's a new phone without a lot of hype. I'm REALLY disappointed with the quality control LG is putting out there. I really wanted to like the Optimus 2X/G2X, but they had awful QC. I figured they'd fix it for the 3D, but sure enough, mine is going right back to Amazon for an exchange. 5 hours of battery while idle and a touch screen that's all over the place doesn't instill confidence, nor does the constant rebooting. Everything about this phone screams "PLACEHOLDER!", and it's a shame because it's a solid phone that FEELS great.
Beings that the bionic and almost every other phone has built in soft keys including the vigor which will be out soon, does anyone think any current phones will be getting an ICS update. ICS has the softkeys built into the screen like honeycomb. It would look a little funny with 2 sets of menu keys. Just seeing if anyone had any input on this issue
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I fully expect the Bionic to get ICS. In fact I'd be willing to bet it's one of the first non-nexus phones to recieve it. Being under the google umbrella is a good thing, which Motorola now is. As far as the buttons go, that's a software modification and I don't expect that to be much of a road block. Button remapping takes place all the time in custom kernels so the guys at Moto and or Google should be able to sort that out simple enough.
I was hoping so. It just seems one of the main ics features is no menu keys. I was just hoping it wouldn't have both
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
ICS is being hailed as bringing tablets and phones together, so something as simple as disabling some on-screen menu buttons doesn't sound like something they would overlook.
Even if we ended up with some ****ed up version of ICS that made our phones have two rows of menu buttons, it wouldn't take longer than a day for the hackers here on XDA to figure out how to hide them.
Seems to me that our softkeys would work just fine w/ ICS... all the screengrabs I see have home, back, and multitasking buttons. Remap the menu key to be for multitasking, and you're set, with a bonus search key that duplicates whatever search function is integrated w/ ICS elsewhere.

I think it kinda sucks that Samsung and Google are waiting on officially releasing ICS due to the passing of steve jobs. Yeah it can be respectful but that didnt stop apple from making money.
I doubt the Google acquisition will affect products in the pre-merger pipeline for a year. Short of layoffs, I've never seen a change in engineers assigned priorities right off the bat.

Back on topic please folks
I'm sure they have the ability to use the four keys just like 2.3.7 and below. I believe that they also said that it was the manufacturers choice when building phones and tablets which method they use back when they were first touring honeycomb on the XOOM. I'm sure that they won't give us two sets of keys and take up screen realestate.

Nexus S will be the first phone to receive the update as far as previously sold phones without ICS. My Nexus S 4G has builtin soft keys as well. There's your answer
I have owned many, android devices across AT&T and Verizon, starting from the htc magic, samsung captivate, htc inspire, htc DROID incredible, samsung fascinate, htc tbolt, DROID 1, DROID 2, and lastly the Bionic before this DROID 3. I hold absolutely no candle when it comes to developing the android os, but when it comes to experience with hardware that's where the experience is. The droid 3 just seems to blow the bionic out of the water with absolutely no lag in screen transitions, app drawer, browser loading time, etc. Im having a hard time with this, and am wondering if Im alone here or is it a placebo type thing being that im using maverick 3.0?
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium
Do you buy all these phones at full retail?
Try golauncher or adw-ex, makes your phone feel so much faster
As far as the full retail goes, no. Only one I paid full price for was the inspire which I returned 3 days later.

Really? I have a Droid 3 and 3 others in my family have Bionics. All my Bionics are far better than Droid 3 for speed and performance. What all have you done to the Droid 3? The Bionics have double the RAM that Droid 3 has and that is a big deal actually. I am still a physical keyboard guy and I wanted an international phone as I do travel internationally once in a while. For those reasons I still like the Droid 3 but my Bionics are faster.
Technically speaking yes, the Bionic should be faster on paper. But as the saying goes the DROID 3 has that "seat of the pants" feeling of being overall alot smoother. Im not saying thus is the case for everyone, but in mine, the DROID 3 feels better.

So I was wondering why its so important to get ics. As you can see I moved on to the Skyrocket from Samsung and Att. We got the leak a couple days ago. I must say, its nice to look at, but for someone who is familiar with the Android I really don't see anything amazing. Menus have changed and are easier to read, my phone was faster before ics. I don't know. I think gb with your mods are perfect.

How technology is today once something bigger and better is released everybody (well almost everybody) wants to be able to have the bigger and better. So they strive to get the new product and once they do they feel accomplished and if need be they fix stuff here and there if they need too.
