Which device are you going to upgrade to? I just ordered my thunderbolt from Verizon. I'm hoping to have it by Monday and I'll miss the devs here but this phone just isn't enough for me anymore
The Eris was free, and my next phone will be free. Probably the T-bolt when I can upgrade mid-september.

Unless some other phone that's somehow way better and more worth it comes out and becomes really cheap by my upgrade next February, I'm going with the Thunderbolt.
I got my Eris when Verizon was having the Buy 1 get another free deal.
I'll probably do the same once my plan renews by the end of the year (November-ish)
As to which android phone? It all depends what phone deals they have but it'll most likely be an HTC phone
Got another 6 months to go, but right now it's looking like the TBolt.
Added a poll!
I'm not eligible until September so I'd like to hold out until then, however, the scare of an end-date on the unlimited data package has got me tempted to pay a visit to one of the VZW stores and see if I can manage to get an early upgrade (not going to hold my breath on it).
If I upgrade early then obviously a TB, otherwise I'll wait and see the other offerings when my time comes in September.
I'm probably going to wait out my contract so that I can renew with a one year contract. Waiting 20 months for a new phone with a handset that has a one year manufacturer's warranty is not worth it, I've come to decide. My 20 month upgrade date is in August - if Verizon lets me renew with a 1 year contract then, that's probably when I'll do it; if not, I'll wait until the contract is up in December. Either way, I've got time to decide.
Why would you put the iPhone in the poll? Surely none of us are traitors to our Android fanboyism
Ehh, Its to show that even though people will jump to android from iOS, no one would to iOS from android
I tried out the Thunderbolt, and it's blazing fast. The shape of it takes a couple minutes to get use to holding though.
I'm loving this Thunderbolt lte is crazy fast and the phone makes the eris look and feel like a toy.

I am leaning towards either the TB or the LG Revolution. Definitely not a Samsung or an Ithing.

Im thinking about buying a used Droid 2 till my contract is up next year. Nothing really catches my eye TOO much. Don't need dual core or LTE (although my area is covered). If Verizon were getting the LG Optimus Black then I'd upgrade early but eh.

DOH! Please don't send the Steve Jobs minions down on me! Good catch, I must've been tired.
Why would anyone consider the iThing... 800mhz processor, last years technology, on a 2 year contract.. kind of shooting yourself in the foot with that.
I myself am highly interested in the LG Revolution as long as it is not over priced. The Tbolt looked nice but I had 2 concerns, battery and price. 250 is a tad steep. If they put the LG in at 199 I am jumping on that bad boy or maybe if the lower the Tbolt price in store to 199. There is no LTE in my area and probably will not be for some time so I have not ruled out the incredible 2 either.

Trust me, LTE compliments any fast phone. Why wait for the download to finish on 3G? That would be just as fast as any eris. The thunderbolt can download and install an app on 4G in a matter of about 3 seconds. Love my thunderbolt

I hope so, but hell even last year it would work for like a week then verizon/nfl would release a "performance" upgrade, which all it did was patch the app. So then you would have to wait another 2 weeks for it to get hacked again and only work for a few more days before another "performance" upgrade again.
Plus I think that now you have to actually link an account number to the app (im not a 100% if that is true, but I did read it somewhere) Whereas before the hack was just using a store demo phone number...it will be ALOT harder to hack it if thats the case.
Heres the latest nfl apk: http://www.MegaShare.com/3506031 Hopefully somebody finds a way to make it work. Id be more than happy to donate if they do.

The NFL/Verizon exclusive app is strictly poor business.
Why restrict an app for the most popular sport in America to one carrier?
Whoever decided to make this Verizon only should be terminated.
It's no wonder Verizon has difficulty settling a labor agreement.
All their money is tied up in licensing fees.
I have a feeling this hack is dead to bad it was a nice app, I always hate having to go to websites to watch other games.

Yeah,directv has screwed me over for the 3 years i've been with them for sunday ticket.
When I first signed up with them, they told me I got it for free. But then once they came and set it up they told me that they didn't process the order in time, therefor I missed out on sunday ticket for free.
Then I moved, and they had that big deal about "movers connection, we set you up for free and give you sunday ticket for no cost". Well, wouldn't you know it I move and they set me up for free, but according to them "I missed being a loyal customer by 8 days, therefor I am not eligible for the sunday ticket offer"
I think my best bet (if not going to verizon) is I am going to switch to dishtv, they offer slingbox with their boxes and you can get the redzone channel for $7.99/mo.
Directv doesnt just offer redzone, you have to buy the whole damn package. $400 for a season of football is insane.
This isn't a "bash direct tv" thread, its a "hack nfl mobile" thread. Let's keep it that way so maybe some nice dev will do just that. And maybe figure out a way to keep it working all season.
also would love this for my iconia tab. its great on my tiny INC2 screen...

If you had a termination fee that means you left sprint, therefore you'll have a higher monthly bill no matter where you go. Also, you'll have a metered internet cap with your spanky new 4G LTE phone, and therefore you've also opened yourself up to an overage bill on the internet if you are a moderate to heavy user.
Enjoy your new phone.

Hello,
Thanks to being able to bill to my account, I ordered a 64gb iPhone 5 today. I am honestly not sure if I am going to end up keeping it as I have been using Androids since 2.1 (Eclair) and I really like the platform. However, I am frustrated that Sprint frakked the Photon 4G replacement and I am not fond of Samsung (too plasticky) and to a lesser extent HTC.
I was honestly praying that Sprint would get some sort of version of the RAZR. The Intel Atom powered RAZR looks amazing, but has only been announced for Europe and I think Asia.
Being with Sprint since 1999, I really am conflicted about the iPhone in general. Thanks to Sprint having to pony up Billions of Dollars just to offer the bloody thing. they have done away with the Premier Gold Program replete with 12 Month Upgrades, the ability to bill equipment to your account at any corporate owned Sprint Store, and far less understanding Account Services actions.
That being said., it will be nice to have tons of options for Accessories where with the Photon there are hardly any. Still, I am hoping a flagship Android Phone is announced by Sprint in the next month.
Cheers,
JJ
It was.
It was confirmed that any carrier that had the GS3 was getting the noteII
Have fun with your CrapS6

My wife just got the iphone 5 and it's pretty impressive. I don't understand why people here sound so indignant that a photon user would be jumping ship. There is a market for the iphone obviously. I find it a foolish exercise to try and compare phones and platforms. At the end of the day they do the same most of functions. At the end of the day
Choice of device is a personal one. If on the day I told myself I now longer care to think about my tech I might move to a different platform as well. People have reasons for moving to ios, and are better for it in many cases.

Is there no one saddened by the news of an Iphone convert simply because he was able to pay about what the phone is actually worth, $40?
Wouldn't you jump ship if you could get a Cryphone at a cheap price?
I'm sure there's plenty of people in 3rd world countries that would love to have this phone rather than something like food or shelter. How else
are they going to shoo the flys away?

Well. I'm a ri-tard. You know like RainMan...
I unlocked my Note and sold it for $350
Went to AT&T store to buy a Note2 with my 50% off work discount. Their system says my discount is 50% off NEW lines. (Which is stupid because then it's more than new line price AND totally different of what my paper from work says)
So, anyways, now I'm on the hunt for something else. BTW: The prices for GN2 and GS3 on Craigslist is INSANE!
I came into this forum with Angst from the other Asshat filled sections of XDA and found a great group of helpful people! (Especially FJ, one of the coolest devs I've ever interacted with!!!) Hopefully I added in something somewhere along the lines.
~Catch ya on the flipside~
HTC one x you can get for a very reasonable price just have to deal with piss poor battery life(my own personal experience maybe you will have different experience) also if you have 350 from your og note you should be able to find a gs3 for not that much more maybe like $50 more on eBay. You may miss the big screen(as if 4.8 is small Lol) but the amount if development on the s3 more than makes up for it.

I had a somewhat simular experience when I bought my Note. The sales rep at the first AT&T store I went to told me I was not yet eligible for an upgrade, based on whatever database he consulted. That was different from what my previous sales receipt said. Rather than argue I went to a different AT&T store in another part of town and found a sales rep that would listen to my side of the argument. She called the mother ship to talk to someone with the right authority and kept the conversation going until I got the Note I wanted. Based on that experience I would suggest trying a different location. Reliance on finding a sympathetic sales rep is NOT a business model I would condone, but this time that strategy worked.

Offload the phone? For someone who bought the DNA 5 months ago it may not have been realistic to wait until late May for the next option.
