My house is not pager-friendly, so I can't get a sig' on my beeper. The Incredible would make a nice first cellular phone.

man I have a Samsung Rogue its almost a smartphone but lack in some areas, I really want the best mobile system in the world * android base on my smartphone
Ok here's my motorola droid "horror" story. I'm on my 5th droid. My first one I had to exchange due to the fact that the screen would start working on its own. Same thing happened to the second one. When I finally got one that did work it wouldn't get any 3g coverage so I had to get another one. So with the fourth one the screen broke that was my fault. Good thing I had insurance and was able to get another one. So far so good with this one, but its only a matter of time before something goes wrong. Even if I wanted a new phone I can't because of my contract. So hopefully I can win the incredible so I can let go of the droid.
Well, I really could use the Incredible, after being stuck with an LG dare. The buttons barely work, and screen is a horror to use. When we first got it, VZW promised us the world with the Dare, how it would be the iPhone killer, with tons of apps, and features.. boy were we duped. I have tried using an old Samsung i760, but it ain't alot better...
Well, I wish I could say I was using a "sorry old phone", but I'm actually using a Moto Droid. I WAS using an LG enV2 before, but that clearly was a sorry old phone.
The only thing that's sorry about my Droid is that for development purposes, you really need a separate "dev" device. It's not good practice to use your only phone line for experimental development, no matter how careful you are. And being an aspiring Android developer, being able to use the Droid for programming and keeping the Incredible for an actual personal device is ideal. (Moto Droid is ideal for the programming target, since the only thing it is "missing" is the trackball, really--many other devices don't have a keyboard which is a very important thing to test with, for development purposes--even if the keyboard support isn't used in the end-product)

I'm using a 2.5 year old blackberry curve... my crack addiction wore off a year ago - time for a real smartphone!
old phone..well i used to have a bb phone was happy...until the whole thing died. For the last 6 months or so i have been toughing it out with my old moto razr. Mainly because I cant upgrade until christmas
.
So my razr will no longer properly charge. I have tried different batteries, different chargers, the whole deal, and she just doesnt hold a charge.
The camera as good as my artistic skills, and stick people are about my limit.
I have an 8gb mirco sd card packed with music, pictures, ringtones...but well there is no way to use any of that with my razr.
Wifi? well wait it doesnt even have 3g or a real web browser so thats out of the question.
Yea its got a speaker phone. And while i dont mind Tpain, its tough to try to carry on conversations when my speaker makes everyone sound like him.
Help me get back on the smartphone train, and i will happily retire my razr for good. She has lived a long life and everydays begs me to power her down (well actually just not keep it plugged in 22 hours a day), and put her to rest.

As a long term bb user (see sig) im suffering with my tour and the track ball problems. The incredible will be a great upgrade
Well right now im on the Droid and I have been since launch day but since im using my brothers line when he comes home I have to give it up and that's because if I switch it over it wont have the insurance and if anything were to happen to my phone I would have to pay 50 to get it fixed (yeah not a lot but it starts to add up when you have a lot of family members who are clumsy who like to drop you phone even though you yourself haven't dropped it once and you're just an undergrad)...sigh anyways on to the phone that I would be stuck with *drum roll*.....a SAMSUNG GLEAM (yup ouch indeed) not only do I lose a smartphone but im back to t9 texting and while some might clamor in its awesomeness me myself find it to be a pain and slows me down whether that's believable or not. Other things I loose are Android OS, the touch screen, the camera, the apps, the email being sent directly to my phone (Ahhh!!! the madness). Oh and another thing the gleam doesnt have a battery cover so its being held on with tape because buying this phone a battery cover would be a waste of money that I could be instead getting accessories for my Incredible. If pics as evidence are needed to prove my phone dilemma I will because this is a serious problem and im genuinely in need of a phone this is why im posting these competitions so hard (or as hard as a man could get from getting on the internet conveniently from his droid and use swype to type out why he needs to win) but the point is I would lose all this and more by going back to a samsung gleam. Im not like some of to these fellow members who are just getting a companion for their droid (though I wish that was the case). I need this so make me a happy man and make my dreams come true.
On Storm #6 - Going DROID
Hi Phil
I would love to win the HTC Droid Incredible as I am on Storm #6. Frustrating to have such an unreliable device. The HTC INcredible would be great to have as it will be refreshing to use Android on such a beautiful and capable device. How do I use my device? Primarily to share photos, videos and happenings of the kids with family and friends across the country and globe. Hope you consider this entry.

Help!
My current phone is slow buggy and unreliable. I can't even count the times that its just shut off without warning, leaving me unable to recieve important calls or text messages. Worst part is, it's a relatively new phone and nothing is being done to help. I can't upgrade until NEXT APRIL. With me paying for my parent's cell phone plan I simply don't have the money to buy a new phone out of contract and VZW isn't letting me upgrade early. A free Incredible would help a ton. Plus it'd be nice to finally have a smartphone for once in my life.

I have a droid that will be incredibly obsolete in a few days. Sad sad. I will not be deserving of my "nerd" tag if I don't have a new phone Thursday.
I have nexus, but my wife has iPhone 3g and i would love to take her into the world of speed and features
