No, this is the one that was released at launch, this is the one that also causes the non-responsive screen issues on the Incredible.
I'm a bit peeved Incredible isn't getting any fancy docks like the Moto Droid got, and Seidio cancelled there desk/car/innotraveler docks.

why aren't they more readily available?

That i couldn't say because i have no idea
i just know that Verizon has done a poor job at marketing/supporting this phone. not only did they botch the launch there not even trying to get accessory support nor are they marketing it as much as they are Moto Droid

They r said to vamp up the marketing once the phone is back n stock. I have a friend who is a regional manager at vzw and he says as soon as they start shipping again the are going to have a huge push for this phone. He already has new window posters and a stock pile of t shirts for when try start shipping again. No point in advertising something that u don't have to sell n the first place right?

Well it seems ridiculous that my phone has a tv out function but no cable. The original Droid had car docks, home docks, and a wealth of other accessories. I feel like I've been forgotten about.

I feel like he's telling the truth and we will see some heavy advertising for our DInc. This is still a badass phone guys. I own a N1 and to me my DInc is better hands down.

I had that car mount and it was a piece of sh... I wouldn't buy it again. It broke within a week and if you have a case on your phone, it won't fit anymore.

I have this dock and its great! Like that it has the belt clip detachment. Yes you do have to take your case off to use it though but that takes all of 5 seconds. I havent experienced the grounding issues in this dock at all, think that was with those cheap universal styrofoam ones.

Stylus

Is there somewhere an oldfashioned, sharp-tiped and accurate stylus available? I use D3 to do quite a lot of sketching (Autodesk Sketchbook) and so forth I am disappointed with styli I bought so forth... that fluffy blob cannot be mistaken for the TIP

Sadly you want the Samsung note, but it doesn't seem to have carrier support.

Good tip!
Maybe I want just S-Pen that comes with it...do you think it would work with Droid3 display?

If the stylus is capacitive, it should work.

I've been drooling over the Note for a couple weeks now. Almost 100% sure that the device contains a digitizer in the screen which means it's not your run of the mill capacitive stylus.

Are you sure? Why do you think so?

I believe the note works on the same principals of the htc flyer which uses a digitizer and then has apps written to specifically use it.

Because I've read it in multiple places.

might have googled myself. Thanks.
Actually, I am quite sad, i should have bought this instead of Droid 3...

Yeah, I was in that mindset too for a couple of weeks. Kept checking prices, looking at selling my Droid 3, how much that would cover the ETF and was looking at Straight Talk ($45/month). But now, I think I'm going to hold off at least until February/March. By then hopefully the Galaxy Nexus will be cheaper off-contract and I'll get one of them.

So anyone have a capacitative stylus recommendation?

All of the ones that I've seen have the rounded bubble tip which makes for extremely awkward writing.

on the internet, there are plenty of how-to´s on this subject - try them out, maybe you find somethig less awkward...

Moving On

Ok...First, I love this phone, I love this community and everyone in it.
I got the opportunity to move to the Galaxy Nexus and I jumped. I love the phone..Its missing some of the hard core that the Revolution has but its a trade off.
That being said, I now have a Revolution, two oem batteries, a Extended battery, kickstand case and dock that I no longer need. Anyone interested or know of anyone who might be?
Throw me a pm.
I will keep around this forum because, honestly, its much cleaner and more fun to read that some of the others around!
Thanks to everyone who helped this noob become less of a noob.

I love this forum. There is all kinks of helpful info. on revo.

As a REVO user who really wants a Nexus I have two questions if you don't mind.
1. What opportunity did you come across to get the galaxy Nexus? I only ask because I heard of an upgrade option through Verizon where the phone was free, but I am not eligible for an upgrade yet, so I was wondering if you knew of a different offer.
2. What do you mean by it's missing the hard core that the REVO has? I'm curious to hear what the REVO offers that the Nexus doesn't?

The GingerVolt2.0 rom is a good rom. I'm running it now with no issues

What do you want for all your goods? I can swing by and pick it all up. I am heading to North County today to Christian. And of course live in the area so if today don't work for you.

not to throw a wrench in any deal, but you might consider offering to lend it to a developer in the revolution android developer's forum to see if they can expedite building a cm9 build.

1. The opportunity was me wanting it and having an upgrade available. The timing was right, no special deals or anything (mainly my wife was in a decent mood and let me)
2. The Revo just seems hard core when you hold it in your hands. Its sings This is MY PHONE!!!, the Nexus is thin and slick...Which is cool and groovy. I enjoy the Nexus a lot. I wasn't sure at first that I would like it. ICS is a tad weird and takes some getting used to. Like all phone purchasing decisions, its a personal decision. Grab the NEXUS, Hold the Nexus...You decide....

It is a myth. Actually it was a scam. Verizon says there is no such promotion. They are however sending out emails offering 100 dollars off any LTE phone via their website. I got that email yesterday as they try to convince me to upgrade one of my other 2 phone lines.
It was a one day only thing it appears because the email is linked to a web page the offer in the email has changed to a bogo deal for the crappy stratus

LOL @ that second link. They have this stand listed as weighing over 9lb. That's more than a newborn baby or some bowling balls. Its nice to know you could kill a man with this stand if you needed to. It almost makes the thing seem not completely overpriced.

39.99$?!
For dock Station.

Makes me scared to order one, if my lil one pulls this of the table it will almost certainly kill her

I'll wait for the $5 knockoff version.

Don't hope to much, I never seen a cheap one that has pogo, only microUSB, I have had some experience with BB devices that did have a cheap versions with pogo, but that device is more complicated then a charging base you know? a least it shows in pre order so hope soon it will out

Is it an upgrade

I ask this as a user of nexus 4 and would like to hear from ex n4 users who have bought the HTC one as it's a lot of money to fork out if it's like for like... of this is not a troll

Never used a Nexus 4 so can't compare, I did however make the jump up from the HTC One X, a very powerful handset although highly underrated by the general public...
It was a good jump up, I am astounded constantly by my One, sometimes even just picking it up to hold it in my hands, not doing anything with it, just nice to hold it

I think it's a worth while upgrade, I don't believe that you'd regret it.
It might be a good idea to wait for a little bit until the first batches are gone and you can get a 2nd batch handset.
I've got no issues really with mine, it's a decent handset and I love it harder than any phone I've ever owned.
I think the fact that you're asking this in the 'One' threads is a bit hit & miss as we're probably more biased towards getting one than not but then again we can give you an accurate idea of what the handset is like... swings & roundabouts.

Pikey is as pikey does. If you can't afford the ride you're a spectator
It's well worth an upgrade. It's a step change in design and functionality.

Perhaps, but it's not an excuse to bash someone who's genuinely asking a question.
I just found your attitude to be reprehensible.
