I've been without a phone period for about 3 months now. Why? Because I have been waiting and waiting for the GSII, but frankly, I'm getting kind of sick of waiting. I'm not going to spend more then $200 on a phone, so it gives me 4 options:
Thing's to keep in mind. I am an extremely heavy texter, which is why the Droid 3 is appealing to me. This is where battery life comes into play for me too. I LOVE me some good battery life. Don't know how much easier a tiny physical keyboard is compared to a on-screen after some practice.
Second is that I'm a techie, which brings a few things. I would love having a dual core phone, again the D3, but I was constantly crashing on my iPad due to maxing out that, I believe that also had 512. And this thing will be rooted and rommed as soon as I get it, if possible, and I've heard that the Inc2 has some great developer support.
Third, I do live in a LTE covered area, and I might use quite a bit of data. Not really sure as I've never had a smartphone.
And lastly, I have extremely small hands. Holding the TB, I couldn't come close to reaching the bottom buttons with my thumb. I really could barely use the phone for anything other then reading with one hand, but I'm not sure if this is actually a big deal or not.
I've been leaning to the D3, but non-rooted and no 4G for another two years worry me. If you want to try to convince me to keep waiting for the GSII, go ahead, I have no doubt it's going to be by far the best phone on the market. But again, slim chances that I can get it if it releases over $200.
