Are you planning on buying the Incredible HD/Vigor/Rezound?

Was sitting in class the other day perusing this site on my Laptop and the guy next to me typing away on his Macbook says:

Him: "Have you seen the Specs on the new iPhone 5 coming out? It's going to be awesome!"
Me: "Nope, not interested in an iPhone. I Like Android devices and will be waiting for the Vigor to come out."
Him: "I don't like Android phones. They're not as good as an iPhone"
Me: "The Vigor will have a 1.5Ghz Dual-Core Processor, and at least 1Gig RAM with 4G service."
Him: "Is it a Tablet?"
Me: "Nope, A phone."
Him (Wide eyed): "Dual-Core on a phone?"
Me: "Yup. The Droid Bionic is already out with a 1Ghz Dual-Core Processor and 1Gig RAM and is running 4G."
Him: "Oh."

AND.. While Paying my Bill today I noticed that they are giving me an option to update my phone early even though my NE2 isn't till May 2012.

SOOO... Hopefully I'll be watching him drool as I wave a brand new Vigor in front of his face after the first week of Oct while he is stuck with his iPhone 5. :D
 
The difference in iPhone users and Android users is that they get in line and like being told what they should buy....like being told what is cool...like what is perceived to be cool...etc....etc. The only real reason that anyone should want an iPhone, is simplicity (and is likely the case for some)...one OS version on one single manufactured device. It's just like all those cartoon-like CG videos we see on youtube that make them look dumb. For Android users, (we could all state our own opinions) but for me I get options and customization. I can get different skinned(flavored) versions of Android on different flavored manufactured devices. Choices' is what I like and I can't get that on an iPhone. It's their way or no way at all. I don't use iTunes and don't like being told that I have to use iTunes. I don't like being told period what I should or have to do, or use. Android for live for me!!!!

lol, It's funny that you brought that up, because so did he. He was like "What about iTunes? How do you get your music and stuff?" He looked at me funny when I told him that I don't ever use iTunes, and that I don't even own an iPod anymore. And that I can get everything I need right on my phone quite easily.
 
I jumped on the Evo 3D a few months ago. I'm loving it. I gotta say though, the Vigor has me questioning if I should have waited a bit longer =) A little jealous of you guys! Enjoy your Vigors!
 
I hope that it comes out on the 5th or 6th as I have a Droid X that is limping along, and well that's pay day :-) I was playing around with my roommates Bionic today and I dunno it just didn't do it for me...glad I didn't jump out and get it right away I would've been severely disapointed...

I'm going to hope and pray that this baby has a better battery life than my OG Inc that I had, if it doesn't I'll just return it and hoefully something better will be out otherwise I'll put up with the Bionic's Blur which surpringly enough I like the old Blur as compared with the new Blur...for me it was old Blur, Sense, touchwiz, now that's shifted again when I was playing around with someones Evo 3D, and the roommates Bionic
 
I'm due for a my discount in late Dec. My "current" plan is to wait till mid Nov. and see where things are. Hopefully the Vigor (inc. HD) will be rooted by then.

I'll probably start calling VZW support daily at that point and politely asking for a early upgrade so I can buy the Vigor :P

Unofficially probably about a week tops, officially maybe a month or so maybe a little longer.

Now for the real question...
When will they come out with a battery cover that has a kickstand attached? Ok, ok, I know this isn't really a big deal, but I've got to admit, I love the kickstand on my TB. :)

Somebody will maybe. Personally, the thought of running a phone this expensive without a case scares the heck out of me. So it becomes when somebody releases a case with a built in kickstand.

That would be cool. I just hope that there is a car dock and that the extended battery doesn't stick out too far.

It's kind of funny, because I'm a gadget kind of guy and very meticulous about my stuff. My 360 and PS3 games are immaculate, I keep my stuff in really good shape and I've ALWAYS covered my phones. I've had the TB since launch and had it in its case until late June. The wife, the kid and I all went to Disney and after carrying the phone around everywhere we went I decided to try it case-less as it was a bit lighter and more streamlined. I can't go back now. I'm still just as cautious, I still baby the heck out of it, but I can't do the case anymore. Yes, I do have insurance, so if push comes to shove I'll be okay I guess, but for me, this is a big step. My wife is proud that I broke one of my OCD tendencies, haha.

I too have the car dock for the TB and it is such a life saver. Great for GPS, great for texting (voice input as to not break the law) and REALLY great for giving you a zap of juice during the car ride home from work. Another reason why I like running the phone case-less now. It can go straight from my pocket to the car dock.

I use the car dock for my DX almost every day, so I wouldn't be able to go without it. I also an running my DX caseless because I have the extended battery and I couldn't find a case that would fit in the car dock with the extended battery. With the rubber back on the Vigor, i think I'll feel comfortable without a case. I hope it will be able to fit in the car dock with the extended battery.

That's a valid concern...the car dock is a MUST. I had mine for the TB about a week before the phone itself came out just sitting there on my windshield.
 
Very interesting. I guess HTC know the Incredible name is very well established.

Here are the latest specs I saw this morning:

I've been able to upgrade since April. I've got two Eris's and decided to buy a used Inc until a dual core htc came out and it looks this is the one.:D
 
I started looking around the same timeframe. Was going to go with the TB, but glad I decided to hold out.

Oh Man! If those specs hold true, This thing is going to be a beast!! I'm Super excited that I'm able to upgrade early. I'm going to stash $250.00 in my sock drawer to make sure I have money for it on launch day. :p
