[Q][Solved] Is it a good phone to get - HTC Incredible S

Hello, I was wondering if this was a good phone as I currently have a Desire C so was wondering if I should get it?

Get what,a desire c? What network are you on/what country do you live in?

Even though the Incredible S is a very good and sturdy phone, I would not recommend it at this time as its already past 3 years since it last launched. Do you have some sort of budget??

Hmm well I don't know how much your plan costs nor do I know how vodafone does things but it might be worth to try the S4 Mini, One Mini, or the Xperia SP. They are all pretty descent mid-range phones.

Anyone planning to upgrade?

Is anyone planning to upgrade their device and is looking for a replacement to their current phone? What would it be? And why? I'm planning in a few months so I could use some opinions!!

I've been using IncS for just over a year now. I still think my phone is pretty good and fast for me. Now with ICS, it's even better. I believe it can at least last for another year.
Changed phone to one x. Nice ICS.

Was all in for one s but found the coating chipped problem on the black version, so decide to wait and see.
To me, give my IS duo core, a little better camera (It's already quite good), I will be happily stick with it for another year, it is just so overall nice compare to other phone.

Exactly!!! This phone is good enough! Just dual core and bigger battery!! Camera upgrade is optional!

Duo/Quad core with slightly better GPU and I'll use it for another 3 years.
My phone is currently with HTC service for changing USB port /mainboard. Depending on the condition it comes back,I'm sticking with my current phone.
Edit.
I mean I intend to stick with my IncredibleS. Served me well for a year, still has good value & mileage to last for another year,easily.

I've had this phone for close to a year n still not bored with it. Anyone who sees it always has something good to say bout it. Personally I feel it is a very well manufactured phone n with ics it shud b the best performer in its segment cos I heard ics is freakingly stable!!

I just got my phone back from HTC, I sent it in because my power button was a bit dodgy, and my warranty is running out
Anyway I got it back, more than a month later, and it had a new motherboard, s-on with HBOOT 2.00.000
I had planned to sell it, and buy an Evo 3D, but after I took pictures for ebay, I decided to keep it, and I downgraded and rooted it
As soon as ICS arrives, I will be happy

Like everyone would ask!! If you used your one x as much you use incredible s daily what is the battery life you get??
Sent from my Incredible S using Tapatalk
Nexus Family is one of the best candidates.
My friend moved from InS to Galaxy Nexus for a month, And he told me that he wouldn't buy any other brand but Nexus.
The only current phone I would upgrade to would be the One S, and right now I have no plans to retire my Incredible S for the foreseeable future.

Well my IncS sure had a better battery life.
I would like my onex's battery to last longer, but I can live with it.
And the speed and smoothness is so much greater on this one. And I am running completely stock and not even rooted.
Also I am one of the lucky ones having almost none of the reported issues with the OneX.
So its clearly an upgrade I would recommend

Nexus is a good phone but the money u pay for it is not what u get ...earlier nexus were great and up to the mark but the recent one is just plain odd for a flagship phone!! Hope HTC makes the next nexus! And I recently had a chance to use the xperia s .. must say for the price I was impressed and it has a pretty good battery life!!

Aah... Again... I guess it has something to do with cost control!! Btw whatever happened to the rezound ... Its disappeared suddenly!! Its a one s with 720p screen isn't it!! Would love to buy it for cheap!!
No one's planning for the s3... Just announced recently!! What's the thoughts on that?

The rezound is a Verizon US only phone.

IMO the galaxy s 3 looks ugly, if I wanted something else I would get a one s
It just looks good, fast, and cos the one x is too big

Most of us pre-ordered and got an extra item instead.
Some got the Sony MDR-1R
Some got the DK-26
Some got bluetooth speakers etc etc
Maybe that's the reason. I don't think people can still get those items anymore when they buy the phone, but these without the protector included are still from the old batch.
Who knows...

Wich is the best tablet to use with an HTC one?

My friends, I'm thinking that I really need a tablet to complement my SGN2. I don't want to close any option before I hear from you. I'm an advance user, and I'm looking for something that really gives me more that my sgn2. I used to have an iPad I sold it because only my children were using it to play around, but since the anounncement that office 365 was out in USA, I'm thinking to get me an iPad mini. Another choice might be an w8 tablet, since I want it only to get my job done (lots of reports and presentation, microsoft dominates my working environment). I was thinking also to let go my SGN2, get an HTC one and buy a note 10'. What do you think?? Please help me out here.

Or wait a month or two for a probable announcement of the next Nexus 7 Unless you need something bigger in which case a new Nexus 10 should make it's way to announcement soon as well~
wait for the new N7 or N10
if you're getting an android tablet might aswell be a nexus

But what do you think of the other tablets?, I want it to use it on my job, advance tools for powerpoint and advance tools for excell... on Android I can't seems to find somethingh as powerfull as the office suite.
I've allready have an apple account with several software bought, maybe w8 is a good choice but it's a new system and just to have to buy all over again just doesn't seems right.

Well it's weird then that you're asking on here what NON-Android/HTC device to get considering you're already leaning way towards an Apple device anyway for the above stated reasons
Thats beacause I don't know everything and maybe there is something that I'm missing, don't you think?

It's a work based tablet. You shouldn't be buying a tablet for work though
I am using galaxy note 8.0 and HTC one. You just can't get wrong with the combination.
I used S4 which I think was really laggy and half of the memory was taken by Samsung apps.HTC one get the dev edition from HTC USA online store.
It is amazing piece of equipment.

Sure, I'll use it only when I feel creative. I also have an Lenovo X220 Tablet and is really to big and heavy to carry arround. That's my main working device, but on the go, sometimes y feell that my SGN2 just doesn't help me all the way. I'll take a look at that Dell. thank you!!

i guess will find out :good:
That's it its going back to the store. Its a 2012 phone. Its not polished its half ass. It can't compete with HTC one and GS4. I can't believe I wasted time believing this time Sony made it right. The whole phone is crap camera, screen, the power button looks like a nipple. Sony is gone. Sorry guys for being hursh. Its just I wanted some quality but it was not it.
I got mine yesterday. I'm impressed with it so far and I coming from a S4. I had original Evo then switched to Sammy for the I think all of the Galaxy phones. Also had a HTC one but wanted to try the Sony for something different. Yes I have issues. lol
I purchased this phone yesterday and I have to say I'm not impressed at all. Coming from a Note II this feels like a really cheap phone! The battery is the most important feature of a smartphone. ..this phone lacks this feature among other thing. I switched back to my Note II and as soon as I return from my vacation the phone is going back to T-Mobile!

i guess i will always purchase older tophones like gs,gs2,gs3,gs4 and never the plus variations anymore even tho i am happy with my gs+, still the main topphones seem to have highest additional value due to the best devs owning them and updating them
