XDA's vote for the best smartphone of 2011 is here! Sadly, the Incredible S wasn't in the list, nor any other single-core phones which came out this year.
Is any one else disappointed in this?
Of course, dual-core phones have more raw power under the hood, but does it really make them that much better? Physical build quality is an important aspect to take into consideration as well. Furthermore, as far as the single-core phones go, I personally believe that the Incredible S deserves some merit as one of (if not the) best.

My phone is better than any damn single core phone out there....hell I would even dare to say that this is the best single core phone HTC ever built(android of course )

Don't you mean it's better than any dual core phones?

I'm happy with the phone I have, but to be honest I wouldn't rate it as phone of the year. There have been too many newer, faster phones since which have all its features and more.
Incredible S is a very good phone, much underrated

Underrated is the right word. It's a shame because of the timing of its release it got drowned by the media with HTC's own Sensation...

Why do you care about these polls. Just be happy with your phone and that's it. IncS is a great phone!
polls are nothing else other than buying guide

and sometimes misleading.
have you ever considered how many people actually vote and what percentage of people are voting for a phone they already have while other phone owners dont even vote.
i never rely on polls.
eyah.. really disappointment/
I am happy with my inc s but i'd swap it instantly for a sensation xe

Incredible S is the best single core phone HTC has ever made. I wouldn't expect the Incredible S to beat out a dual core phone for phone of the year. If there was a poll for the best single core phone the winner will either be the Incredible S or Nexus S. Devs on Xda love the Nexus S.

Cheer up
We all think incredible s is a good phone
My wife just got the Pantect Burst should I trade her for my white vivid?

Are you serious? No. Just no.

Pantech phones are terrible
The burst is a nice device. A very speedy device, and has an almost AOSP build of gingerbread running on it. Pantech plans to bring ICS to it someday, but who knows when that will happen To me the device almost looks like the Nexus S without the curved display.
Then let your wife be the cool one
Personally I couldn't go back to 4" WVGA, one thing I love about the Vivid is the screen, it's amazing ;-)
Sent from my HTC Vivid via Tapatalk
Its a serious downgrade, build quality, ICS vs GB (cartoony too), camera, screen res, support, etc. I mean the Burst is a nice device for the price but I wouldnt think for a second trading my Vivid for one

Hey guys! my Incredible S has been habi g issues with the charging lately, and dust has got into the front facing camera so I'm thinking some time soon it might be time to upgrade.
I have recently been offered a few phones and would appreciate your input,
The first is a HTC sensation, also a HTC vivid, a Motorola DROID RAZR, and a galaxy s2 lte
Which one would you go for? Or should I wait until my ics completely dies? All phones are being offered for 300 except the sensation at 250

Check each forum to see how active the devs are.
Personally id go with the galaxy or wait for other dual cores to drop in price.

check out forums on each device. For me its either, stick with ur Inc S, get sensation (they will have quite.a.few.sense 4 Rome or get.the s2

Samsung S3 but I'm waiting for the S4

That's what I was thinking. When does the S4 come out?

Whatever is out when I'm due for my upgrade in November. I'll probably pick up the next Nexus device to play around with too

I know most of you coming from the Vivid will hate me for saying this but i will go to the HTC M7 as my next phone. I got to love sense, if you dont, no need to be staying with HTC, but i need my fix of sense
Well... I'm really happy with my Vivid. GLAD I DIDN'T GO TO THE ONE X! And as much as I'd love to stay with HTC (still have a G1) their newest phones are a disappointment. The One series was a huge disappointment. So many hardware defects it really made me lose faith in them. I think my next is going to be a an S4 or I might buy a used SII, switch back and forth and ride it out until I'm eligible for an upgrade and see what's out then.
Gonna see what's available after mwc in February...if nothing interests me ill probably wait for the sgs4...but I've heard rumors that it might not have android but Samsung's own firmware instead...if that's the case...idk lol
Only time will tell...as of now nothing is really catching my eye :/ one x+ looks nice...bit you can't even get diff yet...AMD nexus 4 just doesn't have enough storage for me...I need at least 32gb so I can have music and a couple roms handy (about a 1-2gb worth of Roms)

Don't get me wrong, vivid has been a great phone, but I spent so much time messing with it that I'm ready to say goodbye.

After the vivid I went to the HTC Droid Incredible 4g LTE because I wanted better service in my are and a sence 4 stock phone.... I still own a vivid bc I will never get rid of it. I mean development was slow when I had it but it has sparked up a.d I working on a fully working sence 4.1 just bc I love the phone.

I love the new sony devices. I had an xperia x10 before this...i will be looking towards something in the xperia line when the vivid dies
Nexus 4... Oh wait already have one!
This phone rocks, if you don't need the extra storage I'd recommend it to everyone... Of course there is the issue that it's really not for sale right now... Ugh. Supposedly February they are coming back in stock, we'll see I guess.
Anyway the device is epic. Pure android, no bloatware, screen is gorgeous, speed is ridiculously fast, put it this way you may not think you have lag on your vivid, until you play with this thing. It's literally iphone smooth. No lte? No problem! Make sure to copy your apn from your vivid and you'll get fast stable hspa+ that you'll never notice a difference from lte on stock. Camera is almost on the same level, maybe a tad bit weaker, but no shutter lag and the 4.2 camera app is very very nice. Build quality is solid, right on par with the vivid, feels sturdy and looks great.
The only issue is 4.2 needs patching. Battery life out of the box is actually worse than the vivid. This is due to the location service being borked on 4.2. Go into maps, Uncheck "report from this device" under location settings and battery life is much better than the vivid, however you don't get the most out of google now with it shut off. It won't show places of interest near you with the option shut off but until google patches it its the best only option.
So to summarize, once google patches 4.2 it'll be perfect. If you can deal with the wait and don't need the storage, I fully recommend it's awesome!

I guess I should mention this about the nexus 4. The screen size is a tad too large. The vivids screen size is perfect honestly, large enough to watch videos, small enough to use one handed. The nexus 4 is a tad too large for a good one handed experience. And the worst part? It's 4.7 inch screen will be considered small by the end of the year.
HTCs new droid dna design is basically going to be the reference design for HTCs next flagships and at 5 inches it's too big, I've played with one too so I can attest to that. The galaxy s4 is also rumored to be 5 inches, and the note 3 is rumored to be a whopping 6.3 inches!
When does it stop? Ergonomics are just going to hell here! I remember when htc released the Evo, my Samsung eternity fit in its entirety inside it's screen and I thought there's no way I'd want a phone that big. I was wrong there, 4.3 to 4.5 is actually the best sizes available hands down. But now screen sizes have just gone haywire! Before you know it people are going to be carrying 22 inch monitors with cell radios!
What's really frustrating is they still make smaller screen sizes but they all blow. Typically feature low resolution screens, dated hardware, and extremely outdated versions of android such as froyo or gingerbread with no plans whatsoever for android updates. Samsung releases about 50 of these Galaxy Rubbish phones a year!

Neither. Something better will be out before the end of the year. Picking up the Nexus 5 and holding onto my upgrade.

If I had to choose between the two phones, I would choose the S4. The HTC One's issues with battery life is my biggest concern. I am probably not going to get either phone as my contract doesn't end till June 2014. If I was going to upgrade I was thinking about getting the Blu Life One, it is half the price, comes unlocked and there is no overlaying OS on top of Android.

While the one looks impressive, after having 3 HTC phones and **** support for all 3 including the major issues devs have had with the devices I'm def going Samsung next. All HTC care about is selling devices then abandoning them, and while I still love the look and feel of HTC they have dug their own grave.
