It was actually the TB that sorta got me to the ReZound.
My daughter had a TB, while I had my clunky but beloved Charge. She had a ton of issues with it to start and just hated it. Would she let me touch it? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...even thought I am an IT guy and have been playing with these things forever (but I digress).
Anyway, she wanted a iCrap so when one of our upgrades came along, we gave it to her on the condition she gave me the TB. I wanted to just play around with it.
Well i did play around, played around some more. tweaked it here and there. I actually fell in love with it a bit. Especially Sense. I really like it a whole lot more than TW.
Now I am not going to knock TW, I just liked Sense better.
When the opportunity came around to go HTC, MOTO, or another Sammy I went with the ReZound because of my TB experience.
Oh and the TB? The one thing I couldnt stand was the battery life sucked no matter what I did to it (not a knock, just a fact) but someone was willing to give me $175 for it in maybe 7/10 condition as long as I rooted and gave him an in house tutorial on flashing a bit...
I had the opposite experience...I had a Sprint HTC EVO 4G that I used for practicing rooting and romming, and I grew to dislike Sense and HTC from my experience with that device. I have a Rezound that I activated a couple days ago (never bothered with root, etc.), and went right back to my Charge. I still don't like Sense, but I'm waiting for ICS to hit the Rezound, and I'll probably root/ROM and try it again. I want to like HTC, I like the build quality, but so far...me no likey. It's me, not you Sense.
Nevertheless, I would say the Rezound is at least the second best phone on the VZW lineup, next to the the GNEX and the RAZR MAXX is up there of course too. For some, it's THE best phone on VZW, and it certainly has it's reasons to be at the top of the list. Why they are not pushing this phone more is strange, but as I posted earlier, I think it's mainly all about branding, and neither VZW nor HTC seem to be enthusiastic about marketing the Rezound. It's going to be all about the Droid Incredible 4G once it drops, because as someone else posted, the original DINC sold like gangbusters, and I think the DINC2 did fairly well too.
