Two Phones released on the same day?

[Sugrat]

Seeing that the Droid Charge will be released on the 28th of this month, what do you think will be the chance of the dinc 2 being released on the same day?

Anyone else remember vzw releasing multiple phones on the same day before?

 

[YourMobileGuru]

Possible but unliely. My guess is the DInc2 will get bumped a week or 2.

 

[isdaako]

Don't forget about the Commando! That would make three for the 28th.

 

[chassum]

I'm thinking it'll be released on Dinco de Mayo

LMAO!

 

[Jude526]

it is being released on the 28th no worries
Verizon has said on the 28th and so far nothing has changed

 

[judasmachine]

They released the OG Droid and Droid Eris on the same day.

 

[brandonx1000]

the inc 2, casio commando, and charge will all launch on 4/28

Yes but Commando is not a top tier phone...

Ummm...can you throw the Charge or DInc2 out a window and have it still work? I think that that makes the Commando slightly top tier. I am honestly debating about that phone because I'm constantly outdoors and would love to be able to attach my phone to my mountain bike rather than be scared to even take my phone anywhere.

The Commando is a solidly mid-range device. It is Verizon's equivalent of the Motorola Defy.

I am not saying it wont be a good phone I just mean spec wise and target demographic wise it wont have the same appeal as the others.

I don't know about you, but throwing my phone out the window isn't part of my standard usage pattern.

Neither is mine...but if I'm going to spend $200 or more on a phone, then I want to make sure it will fit my lifestyle.

That's fine. But that ability doesn't make the Commando a top-tier device.

I don't see a huge difference between "top tier" devices this year compared to those from last year. Aside from LTE on the Bolt and upcoming Charge...is there really a big difference?

Yes.

 

[anon(43138)]

Yes.

Ok.

 

[Droid800]

Ok.

I mean, the Commando isn't a bad device, its not just a top tier device. Its solidly mid-range, but, also remember that mid-range now is what top-tier was a year or two ago.

 

[mturco]

Yes.

I kind of disagree. There is the difference, but I think it's much less than it was this time last year. I mean, the lower end phones were really low end. They had slower processors, less RAM (256MB wasn't unusual), and even lower screen resolutions (many had 320x480 screens).

As it is now, almost all the phones on the market have either WVGA (800x480) or higher resolutions, decently fast processors, and at least 512MB of RAM.
