I'm one of the poor fools who bought a Samsung Omnia. I don't even know where to begin describing how bad it is... but I'll give it a shot!
So... what do I hate about my Omnia?
*first, an arpeggioed A# chord*
(to the tune of the Major-General's song)
THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE 3 large I blew on this turd of spectacular tech failure
My burning desire to toss this phone directly into the nearest bailer
The laggy apps, the bandwidth caps, the crappy excuse of FM
The tiny low-res screen, and the disaster that is WM
The wall-head banging it causes that makes me grab the ointment
VZ's lack of care, none which to share my seething disappointment...
Just thinking of my phone straight-up ruins my whole day,
AAAAND COME ON, WHAT MORE DO I POSSIBLY HAVE TOOOO SAYYYYYYYY!?

I'm currently using the G1 on T-mobile. I bought out my previous verizon contract to be part of the first generation of android users predicting it would take over the market in the next 5-7 years. Unfortunately, the phone is a hunk of junk in comparison to quality android phones on the market 18 months later. Please help!
I have a 1970 Blackberry Curve 8330 AMC Gremlin!
That's right! It's a rare breed indeed! American Motors designer Richard Teague ? remember that name ? and co-CEO Mike Lazaridis together were responsible for some of the coolest cars and smartphones of the era. The Gremlin and the Curve hybrid was not either of them. AMC was profoundly in the weeds at the time, and the Gremlin was the company's attempt to beat Ford and GM to the subcompact punch. The Curve was one of the most popular smartphones in the world (albeit ahead of it's time in 1070). To save time and money, Teague's design team and Lazaridis engineering team basically whacked off the rear of the AMC Hornet with a cleaver and surgically attached it to the Curve 8329 (a number few people know).
The result was one of the most curiously proportioned, Frankenstein [not so] "smart"-phones ever, with a long low snout, long front overhang and a truncated tail, like the tail snapped off a salamander, no Wi-Fi, and get this, a TRACKBALL! Cheap and incredibly deprived ? with a vacuum-operated web browser, no less ? the Curve Gremlin was also awful to talk on, with a heavy six-cylinder speaker phone and choppy, unhappy handling due to the loss of on board application memory in the back.
The Curve Gremlin was quicker than other sub-smartphones but, alas, that only meant you heard the jeers and laughter that much sooner.
Winning the HTC Incredible for me would be like traveling from a time of fly collars and analog to Twitter and Snapdragon.
And I'll videotape (I'm still in the past. We videotape) the unboxing for you to post on AC!

I had a Blackberry Pearl 8100 not that long ago and running it with anything beyond the stock loadout made it incredibly slow. I had to force reboot way too often.
I have a BB8330 with NO wifi 
but did update to OS 5. I have been waiting for this phone to be released since Jan.
Local Manger let me play with Incredible the other day and now I can't wait to get my own.

It's Not Smart
I have the DROID, but my partner has an old LG Envy 2. It's not a smart phone and can't do much besides make calls and text. The phone is in need of replacement and he really wants a smart phone. It'd be incredible to replace it with the Droid Incredible

My phone is very sad
my Samsung SGH-T429 has a 0.3 megapixel camera, and that is probably the best feature. The screen turns white sometimes, which is pretty cool when I need to make calls.

I use the HTC Droid Eris...er at least I own one. My wife has the Samsung Alias 2 so she is always taking the Droid away from me so she can check the web/facebook/maps etc. I guess that technically I don't really have a phone to speak of save for the few precious moments that I get to spend with the Eris when she is asleep or not paying attention to me taking it back. We are looking at buying an Incredible when they are available for fondling at the store but winning one for free makes it so much more awesome. (avoiding the Incredible puns as best I can.)
We are looking at buying an Incredible when they are available for fondling at the store but winning one for free makes it so much more awesome. (avoiding the Incredible puns as best I can.)As I sat in my car with the door open, my Droid Eris slipped from my pocket at such a perfect time that it landed between my door and the frame of my car as I slammed it shut SHATTERING the phone so hard that there is no way to even retrieve information from it. This forced me to downgrade to an old LG that makes dumb phones feel superior and mock him ruthlessly. Help me to put him out of his missery.

i have a storm....1...i've had this model since it first came out and although i loved it at first, i've now gone through at least 10 swaps since and the troubles seem to continue..it's always locking up on me and the battery life is a complete joke( yes i've replaced that as well)...i'd love to have a phone that can keep up with me and my lifestyle, with a proficient processor and plenty of memory as well.....help me put this storm to rest...puh...leaz
I have the Motorola Droid. It's not sorry or old...but...my mom has an older phone and I'd try the Incredible out and either give her my Droid or the Incredible, whichever is easier to learn!
Currently i am using an 8330. The phone has to have a battery pull every 10 to 15 minutes due to a memory leak which i have been unable to resolve. I would love to have a phone that actually works
How about a PALM Treo 700WX that is like a hundred years old and had to sacrifice its g, h, j, k, and sometimes m key functionality when it went (via shorts pocket) into a swimming pool in Florida to upright a face down toddler!! Yes, I actually use the stylus to substitute for those keys...and use my wife's Eris a LOT! The Eris is half the phone the Palm is ........ thickness-wise that is!
once upon a time (last december), i made the HUGE upgrade from the RIM bb storm 1 to the brand spanking new, hot, do EVERYTHING phone - the Motorola Droid.
as the slogans said at the time - droid does.
then, a few weeks later the "superphone" N1 was announced by google. obviously - i'm a big of a gadget head - or else i wouldn't be here, and wouldn't always own one of the latest phones. BUT - never has the "my phone is the baddest on the market" feeling been so short!
I'd love some help in getting me back up to the latest - as android is moving too fast for my 2 year contract price to EVER stay on the bleeding edge!

Pick me!
I'm running a Blackberry Bold. Really want to make the switch to Android though, the Incredible looks like the way to do it!

I'm an aspiring Android developer still putting up with the sluggish G1. Help me put it out of its misery!
I'm going to do the right thing and find someone suitable to gift it to - it's only a 3 month old Blackberry but though it doesn't compete much against the Incredible for my usage, it may be useful to someone else. Recycle folks!
