I started out as an OG Droid owner. Then I won a contest and got the Droid Incredible. I've had the Incredible for over a year and loaded CM7 onto it maybe 4 months ago (used stock ROM before that). CM7 made the DInc feel like a completely new phone. It was fast, and it almost never let me down.
Last week I bought the Rezound. In short - I love it. It should have been named the Incredible 3.
Other Thoughts:
I'm waiting to see how the official ICS works on this baby. I do plan on rooting soon, but I don't want to void my Verizon warranty just yet. Also, I'm waiting for CM9 to blow our minds.

- Aesthetics
It's like a bigger Droid Incredible, not too big, but enough to have to get used to. I sometimes have trouble thumbing across the screen. - Screen
4.3" is perfect for me. Big enough to view plenty, amazing definition. - Hardware
One of the best spec'd phones out there right now. - Phone - including bluetooth & speakerphone usage
Minimal use of a BT earpiece, it works fine as far as I know. Speakerphone works well. - Overall User Interface (including HTC Sense)
I used to hate Sense on the DInc, but with a dual-core, I'm waiting a little til I load a cleansed ROM (CM9). I feel like Sense get's some good use out of the GPU and is pretty responsive, so I can deal with it. - Widgets
I used to hate that flip-clock + animations. Now I love it (because my phone can truly handle it) - Signal quality (Compared to other devices)
So far, the signal quality is just as good, if not better, than the DInc. - GPS
I noticed that one certain roads I was maybe a meter or two off (technically putting me on the sidewalk or on people's front lawn). Not a big deal, but the driving directions worked perfectly. - Social Networking
I never use the FB/TW for Sense - Email/Calendar
I use GMail, calendar works just fine. Nothing special, although, you can "search" within the calendar, which can be very useful. - Battery Life
Crappy - probably my biggest complaint, but then again, I've been keeping 4G on all the time, and I'm used to extended batteries. Waiting for Anker to come out with a high capacity, but same sized battery. As of now I get a solid 8 hrs of use. 10hrs from little use. - Performance
FAST. YOU NEED SOMETHING FAST HERE! BAM! HAZAH! - Media (music, movies, DLNA)
Netflix, Google Music, HBOGo all work great and look great. Although Netflix seems to not know the the Rezound can show HD. - Keyboard's
I use FlexT9...'Nuff said - Camera (both still & video)
I friggen love the camera. It's quite crisp and fast shutter speed (IMO). Some people knock the camera, but wtf? You want quality? Go buy an SLR for 500+ bucks. Clear as day when using Skype and Qik. - How the Rezound compares to your previous smartphone (if applicable)
I loved the Incredible, and still do. I'm keeping it handy in case something goes wrong with Rezound. But so far, I am loving Rezound more and more each day. So fast and smooth. - Disappointments (if any)
Battery life - I have a feeling it's mostly the crappy bloatware that constantly trying to connect to network in the background.
Sense - can't disable Animations and still can't customize those 3 docked buttons. Seriously, when are they going to get it? I don't want the Phone and settings buttons there.
