The "What temporary phone are you using while you wait" Thread

[TdotLee]

Been using the G1 since about a month after it's release in 2008. A little overdue for an upgrade

Samsung Galaxy Music.

There are very few phones listed I am not envious of as a placeholder when I look at my G2x...

iPhone 5. I will be using both when I get my nexus 4 later today. iPhone for LTE and nexus for wifi hotspot and google services.

My first android phone. Can't wait to try it.

I'm still rocking my OV with the lightning fast Virgin Mobile/Sprint.

Atrix 4G on stock moto gingerbread. It's terrible. I have one of the ones that has a bootloader that can't be unlocked. And I'm stuck with it until Feb or March.

iPhone 4S 16GB. Nexus 4 will be my first venture to Android, can't wait!!

Unlocked sidekick 2009 on AT&T! It was a nightmare.

If you're 'stuck' because your upgrade eligibility isn't until Feb or March, you might be able to break free to some degree. My upgrade wasn't scheduled available till March 1 (with T-Mobile), but by calling through to their 'retention' group (group dedicated to preventing cancellations) I was able to get an early upgrade. Your odds are better if you have a lot of tenure with the carrier, i.e. not just in your first contract term. As a plus, that team had them in stock so I'll have mine on Monday, where their online site shows them sold out.

Much like you can almost always get a better deal on new service by signing up online, you can always get a better deal through those escalation teams.

iPhone 5 on Sprint (service sucks really bad), which I will be selling when I receive my N4 today. Bought the iPhone thinking I'll like it after using Android for couple years...design is gorgeous but software is so damn boring.

Then I envy you too -- the G2x by LG is a far, far cry from the Samsung Galaxy S IIx

 

[kimapz]

I've been using the Samsung Vice for the last 3-4 years... can wait another 3-5 weeks for my Nexus 4 to come.
