It's all up to you. As soon as you pick up the "lastest and the greatest" another device will take its place. As soon as I knew I wanted a new smartphone, I shopped around and settled with the HTC Droid Incredible a month after it was released. A few weeks before I received it, Droid X was being promoted as the next best thing. I stuck to my guns and stayed with what I first decided in getting and I'm very happy with the Incredible. I am also up for a "new every two" upgrade next year so if I decide to get the next gen android phone then I will. I'm willing to stay with the Incredible longer if the Incredible does get the Froyo update sooner than later and if Otterbox would decide on making a case that would accomodate the Incredible and 2150 extended battery combo. I highly doubt that Otterbox will make a case that will work with the extended battery though. In otherwords, I would really want more aftermarket parts support for the next smartphone I do get especially a sweet case and better battery performance.
