Help me pick a smartphone (Verizon) *clicky*

I dont know why this has turned into such a big deal for me but it has... I can't decide between the Incredible 2, the Droid X or the Thunderbolt. 

a) I really like the Thunderbolt because its 4G, but can't get past the poor battery life and if I use the battery extender then no cases will fit the phone.

b) The Droid X is really calling me but I dont like the buttons, so then I go for the Incredible 2 which is totally touch screen.

c) I hear a new 4G phone (LG Revolution) is coming out at the end of May - maybe the battery life will be better on it? or the new Droid (Bionic) that is supposed to come out sometime this Summer is a better choice?

Anyone have either of these phones and care to convince me which is better??

Re: Help me pick a smartphone (Verizon) *clicky*

  • I didn't vote because I don't know enough about the Thunderbolt or the Incredible 2, but my son (16 yrs old) has the Droid X and really likes it.  The battery lasts all day and he texts a lot.  He has to charge it though overnight so he can use it the next day.

    I have the Samsung Fascinate and I really like it.  Battery life since the OS update a couple of weeks ago has gone down hill though. I believe Samsung just came out with a new phone last week. 

    We've both had our phones almost a month now.

    Thanks for the input!  I wasnt aware of the Samsung Fascinate, I'll have to look in to that as well :)

  • I had the fascinate as well and Loved it...I know the new one is coming out soon the Charge and I've heard good things about it.

    I just went with the HTC Incredible 2 and I am in love with it.  I too steered away from the Thunderbolt because of the crappy battery and even the Verizon person said that was a major flaw.  I've had the Incredible 2 since Sunday and just charged it yesterday for the first time.

  • I have the Thunderbolt and really like it. I do sometimes charge it while I'm at work, but I haven't found the battery life to be a huge issue yet. I heard from a neighbor who works for verizon that they are phasing out the droid x.

    Also, I think there is a Samsung phone that just came out (or is coming out) on Verizon that is also 4g.

  • I also have the Fascinate and love it.

  • I have the Droid X and have had no complaints whatsoever, but I know the Droid Bionic is supposed to be coming out some-what soon to Verizon (it's supposed to be 4x faster than the X) so maybe do some compare and contrast and see what fits you better?

  • Thanks for all the help girls!  I read online that the Droid X2, LG Revolution (4G phone) and the HTC Trophy are supposed to be released May 12.  I think I may wait for the Revolution, I really want 4G.

    I think the new Samsung pp was talking about is the Charge and it came out yesterday maybe?

    Any more advice please keep it coming... Thanks!

    I'm glad you posted this- I'm trying to decide between Verizon smartphones as well and am totally overwhelmed. One thing- DH and I were in the Verizon store and asked about the Bionic, and we were told that it is not coming out at all now- they just said the manufacturer had pulled it. I'm not sure if this is true or not since we haven't had time to research further.

  • I was just browsing on this board looking for laptop recs and saw your post. I have a Samsung Fascinate and I really like it. DH and I upgraded in November and he got an Incredible... I personally like the display more than his and the screen is a little bigger.
