Official Goodbye Dinc Thread

today said:
You sir are the one whose posts convinced me to get a second og dinc to toy around with. Which I still have both. One is wifi only. When and if I upgrade I will still keep these around. Google calender/alarm clock to experiment with.

Yep, I had 2 of them. When word of the Inc 4G came out, i sold one thinking I would be upgrading soon anyway.:( Well then the one I had the screen died on me as I am sure you probably read in my post. So I got the Inc 2 instead, wanted to try it out. All though it is a nice phone as well. The Org Inc gets much better reception. As you also know I have decided to wait on getting the Inc 4G when I can find one on Ebay or swappa for less then $499... You can sell me one of your nice Org Inc..:p
 
Typing from my new gs3. I loved my incredible and held on till it was to slow and grabbed the s3 as my last cool chance option to keep unlimited.
I have to say the incredible was a great phone and the s3? Oh my gosh what an upgrade. I used to run a double capacity battery in the Inc. The s3 just goes all day long now.

Goodbye Inc forum.
 
I've held and played around with a couple different gs3 devices and they really are sweet. I really believe that I could get used to that phone. If I cannot get a satisfactory solution to an upgrade on Verizon, then maybe I'll switch to sprint when they launch their lte later this month. Might just be the verizon killer move.
 
Switched from a Windows phone to the DINC almost 2 years ago. I loved everything about the phone except batt life. Went to the double batt almost immediately and still had trouble getting through an entire day without a charge.
But what a GREAT PHONE!!
Others in the company were switching to newer devices all the time, but I stayed with my DINC.
Then the dreaded low memory bug surfaced. After 3 hard resets, I finally threw in the towel. Our main office said that everybody was happy with their iPhone 4s and they sent one to me.
Interesting device. Screen is MUCH better in sunlight but it just isn't as versatile as a Droid.
I expressed my concerns and they told me I would love it if I just tried it for a month with an open mind.

Month is up. I gave the 4s a fair shot but I really miss the DINC in the drawer.

Looks like a SG3S is in my future because I don't see anything else I like.
Heck I would even reactivate the DINC if I knew I wouldn't get the memory error again in a month or two.

I left my incredible for an S3 two days ago. I didn;t like it and now I/m back with the incredible. I hope it runs forever.

I got the Inc2 when my Org Inc died. I have been looking at the new Inc 4G, but the longer I hold off the more I think I might pass. I have a couple bids on the Org Inc on Ebay right now. Looking to come back to the Org Inc for now. I like the Inc 2, but the reception of the Org Inc is much better. I miss my Org Inc. I agree with ya, if I get another one soon I hope it runs forever as well!
 
Just flashed Jelly Bean Alpha 5 from XDA to my Incredible.
Yup...all that Jelly Bean in a compact form factor.

Long live the Incredible!
 
Whelp I've had my gs3 for about 2 weeks now and I'm in love...but I couldn't resist the thought of jelly bean on my incredible had to break it out again and flash 4.1
 
Well it's been back and forth for me. Had the Inc for a long time, my screen died a few months back so I picked up an Inc2. The reception of that phone sucks, so I purchased another Inc a while ago and have been using it again. Well Sunday evening I bit the bullet and ordered the new Inc 4G. I gave up my unlimited data to get it subsidized. It really doesn't matter for me since 90% of the time I am on wifi anyway. I am lucky if I use 1/5th of a 2gig plan. I have sold both the Inc2 and Org Inc already this week. New phone will be here tomorrow. I will miss the Inc, but am looking forward to the new one. See you guys on some of the other forums maybe! It's been a fun ride on this forum.

Naaa.. for what? I just bought a bran new phone with a 15 month manufacturer warranty and the insurance. Something happens to it, I get a new one. I won't go back to an older phone any longer.

I won't give up my incredible for around the house though. Extends the battery of my 4g3. The bluetooth issue is kind of bugging me now. Maybe an update will fix it. And that calculator thing, that's plain silly. Hope it's treating you well so far. It's a lot different, but in a good way.
 
Wow, it's been almost 2 years since I've been here, but I remember the big fuss we were all throwing waiting for Froyo to push. I bought my Dinc back in June 2010 and had to wait over a month for the back orders to ship. I came here to discuss the phone and hopefully learn a trick or two about my first smartphone before it arrived. I remember eagerly waiting for the fedex truck to arrive home, and how much excited I was when it arrived 50 minutes before my work shift started.

I purchased the Rezound back in April for $50, and ended up unrooting and installing OTA Gingerbread on my Dinc. It's with my girlfriend now who uses it as a wifi phone since she can't afford a plan just yet.

Even with the Rezound going through its ICS dilemma, I can't help but be reminded of how anxious we all were for 2.2 to roll out. Even though I only stayed active for a couple of months, I learned a lot in that time both about phones and android.
 
I am sad to say that my Droid Incredible took a tumble today and the screen shattered. As an original adopter in April of 2010, I have found it difficult to find another phone that is any better. I bought a S3 to preserve my unlimited data with no intention of using it, and it wasn't any better than the INcredible IMO. I am so disappointed....
 
That's it. Fourteen days have come and gone so the 4g3 is mine for the foreseeable future. So far it's been a kick. Great phone. So it's time to designate my og Droid Incredible to a much respected position on the nightstand. It is still a fantastic device which will still see a whole lot of use for all its abilities, except of course a phone. So no sweet goodbye, I'll run you till death do we part.
 
For whatever reason, I can't help but come back here and look around. I haven't had my DINC in 8 months. I gave it to my son when I got my Galaxy Nexus. He fell about 3 weeks ago with it in his hand and shattered it's screen. :( Now he also has a Galaxy Nexus (for free from Best Buy). I'm glad to see there are still those with the Dinc in their hands.

It's actually surprising how many people still have it. A testament to a great phone with a great dev community.
 
After getting bent over and screwed one too many times by Verizon, I finally cancelled my contract and moved to Virgin pre-pay, and with it, replaced my Dinc with the One V.

I love the One V. It feels very solid, and it's nice to finally have a good option in the sub-4in screen range for those of us with little hands, after a year or two of phones only getting bigger. Battery life is better, UI on ICS is MUCH improved, and over-all I'm loving it.

But I'll miss my ole' Dinc. She served me well for almost 2 years and still worked great. Good-bye, old friend.
 
Still use my D'inc every single day as my "around the house" backup phone. I love it, tweak it constantly, and lost my Android virginity to it. I have a toss-away LG as my actual daily driver (voice phone communication only), but carry my D'inc everywhere, too. What is the end-all, be-all, root-able phone out today that I should consider looking at if I wanted to replace my current situation with a single daily driver (a brand new model). And what good used models should I consider as well if I wanted to activate with a service vendor of my choice. I'm in Cocoa, FL, if that makes any difference. And again, I must have root access on any replacement phone I get. I LOVE to tinker. Thanks in advance for any feedback or recommendations. Really, thanks gang!
 
I too am saying goodbye to my Incredible. I have truly enjoyed using it. And I'm not straying too far from the tree...

I have an Incredible 2 on the way.
 
Just preordered the Droid DNA and will finally decommissioning my DINC1 that I've had since before they originally hit the shelves, a real trooper of a phone. I'd keep it around but it keeps overheating into a shutdown when I'm pushing a 3G signal.
