I've had the Dinc 1 since release and now am up for an upgrade. I did a lot of research on the phones available on Verizon and kept coming back to the Dinc 2. I have friends who have the Droid X, Droid X2, Thunderbolt, Fascinate and the Iphone 4 and I have played around with them all. The Droid X and X2 are to big and they are not even as snappy as my Dinc 1. The Thunderbolt is also to big and the battery life scares me The Fascinate simply didn't impress me at all. 4g doesn't interest me and it won't be in my area for at least another year. I played around with the Dinc 2 in the store and it felt good in my hand. I know going from the Dinc 1 to the Dinc 2 is not a big jump in technology but I've read good things about it and so I took the plunge and got it. It should be delivered to my home on wednesday. I hope I like it!
