I don't have a "sorry old phone' i'm using a Droid ... but the opportunity to have a new Incredible to play with is too good to pass up.. Plus I've never used Sense before and I'd like to see what all the hub bub is about.... and ... well I already dropped my droid and the frame around the screen is all scracthed up and it's not as pretty as it once was...
Win another Droid Incredible from Android Central! (contest)

I wasted my contract upgrade on the Droid Eris which is nearly unusable. No I haven't tampered with it at all, no leaks installed, not a lot of apps installed... just an overall lag that makes it almost useless. I'd rather use my previous phone, the Samsung SCH-U540... or, of course, the Incredible
BB Storm 1 here. Not a bad phone, but it's like a bike with the training wheels on. I am ready to take them off...
I've been using my Wife's BB Pearl since my Storm died. Its pink. Do you understand me? I'm a guy using a friggin pink pearl!

Need new phone!
Hi,
I got my first smartphone the AT&T tilt in late 2007... I'm currently still using this outdated and very slow and frustrating peice of hardware. granted the phone was top notch in it's day but now look at it compared to the Incredible!!
I have used XDA to run the lastet winmo version and i'm also dual booting android. I love android but it's painfully slow on this phone and somethings on android don't work on this old hardware.
Help me!!

I really really need an update to 2.1. My Eris is going to be put to rest by verizon at the end of may. I have so much I want to do with my phone and the Incredible would allow me to do just that.
i have a motorola cliq and no matter howmany updates yhey send out the battery life still suck and i tryed rooting my phone and now my a button on my keyboard is my q and my z button is my w and vise versa i need a new phone
Im using the sucky old voyager with a wonderful 2.0 megapixel camera. I feel like im in the stoneages, it still works better than my crappy Storm I that i refuse to reactivate. Ive been following the Htc Incredible since rumors have speculated and would love to be able to see my pictures with a wonderful 8.0 megapixel camera!!!
I have this piece of junk Samsung Juke... you would not believe how happy I would be if I won this, and I might even quit following the other Android sites I follow 
I'm using a super old LG Envy, which is in such terrible condition, even the person who stole it from my girlfriend didn't want to keep it.
We ended up having it mailed back to us from some good samaritan who found it on the side of the road, and I've been using this poor excuse for a phone ever since.
The phone is terrible, the chrome finish has been completed chipped off around the border and is now completely white, and when attempting to reply to an incoming text message, 9 times out of 10 it will skip 3 steps ahead, not even let you type anything in and send a blank message to the person you are attempting to respond to.
I end up sending blank text messages about 20 times a day, and basically everyone I normally text is pretty verbal concerning how annoying it is.
Oh yeah, the unlock option is a simple button you push on the front "touchscreen". Which, ironically, is VERY easy to activate. So yeah, it unlocks in my pocket constantly, dials people on my contact list, powers off, you name it, it'll do it in my pocket without my knowledge.
It's gotten me in trouble more than once...

I currently have the Storm 1... Now let me tell you a little story about why I got the storm and why its the worst phone ever!
I had never had a smart phone before, and I hated apple, so obviously i chose a proven OS (blackberry, android was still a little to young) that was releasing the much hyped, media friendly touchscreen phone, the STORM!!! (caps signify how excited i was, and how cool i thought the name was before purchasing). The first ads for the storm were amazing! i pretty much pooped my pants in anticipation. I later found out that this anticipation was mostly just for the IDEA of a smartphone, cause i later found out that the storm is the anti smartphone.
amongst all the errors, the bugs, the crashes, the freezes... i have dealt with the storm since the holiday season of its release. most of it, bearable because it was still, cool to have a smartphone. oh how young and naive i was. it was only till i started experiencing the WORST symptom of a terrible OS and terrible hardware that i decided that i had enough with the phone, only to realize im too broke to buy a new one.
My storm, at least twice a day, will stop recieving touch inputs. I cant tell you how many times i have been driving in my car listening to music and all of a sudden i cant change the song, how many times i have gotten a phone call and not been able to answer cause the touchscreen wont work, how many times ive tried to make a call (usually this occurs at the worst possible time, murphy's law anyone?) and i cant even dial a number cause the touchscreen is dead. the only fix is a battery pull. so on top of these 2 pulls i HAD to do cause the phone was unusable, i was doing the standard 3-4 pulls a day just cause the OS was terrible at managing memory... 3-4 times a day my ram dropped to ~0mb
please please please, the incredible looks amazing, my roommate has an eris, and i have wet dreams about owning my own. please dont let the storm fail me again, i need a new phone, i need to get out of blackberry, it has been my achilles heal since the day i got it..
ive got a fever, and the only cure would be something incredible... maybe... a droid incredible

I have a Moto Droid. I like the Incredible more and it doesn't have the stupid slide out keyboard. Can I have the 2nd Incredible?
I am currently using the Droid, but its 6 months old, so I need something new (everybody I know calls me a phone whore...cause I just need to have the latest and greatest). I have been patiently waiting since January for this device, so winning it would be a dream come true. But my old Droid won't be going to waste, I have already converted a friend from the iPhone to Android, so I am giving him the Droid when I get the Incredible (1 down 20,999,999 to go 
)
)Droid, it's not really a "sorry old phone" but I want to upgrade to the Incredible. 600mhz (oc'd) isn't doing it for me.
I'm using a sad BlackBerry 8530. OK, so it's not so old, but compared to the Droid Incredible it is sad and underpowered! And only 256 MB of on-board storage. Ugh!
I am currently using a blackberry tour, which is just the worst. I have used a droid before and I love it and I'm sure the Incredible is just... incredible. My contract still has like a year and a half to go so if I could win it, that would be incredible!
My old phone is a lg envy the orginal one. It has a little story tho I did have the moto droid and loved it. That is to I gave it to my wife she was with one day while we were out and about I was using google map with nav and she couldn't believe how good it was. Nvm when I showed her my facebook widget and Messenging sms app downloaded I was soon pressured to giving it up to her due to not being ablt upgrade cause we used hers for my mother who lost her phone. So in short please help me I just want a droid agian and I'm going thru withdrawler..
I'm still rocking an old black RAZR.
In fact I had to switch back to it, because my father's DROID broke, and he took mine.
So I'm back to using this old piece of junk.
