Oh in that case nevermind. I know for all new phones the cheapest you can get is with a new activation and they're still normally around $200-$300. After the discount.

Yeah, Nexus Prime, HTC Vigor (or Incredible HD, or some other name, whatever they're changing it to), LG Revolution 2 are all in October supposedly...

I'm itching to get my original Droid upgraded, just waiting for the newest LTE phones to drop for Verizon so I get a decent one (Thunderbolt and Revolution weren't horrible, just not great battery life and whatnot).

Bionic seems decent, but with all these new phones dropping so soon I'd feel terrible getting one and then finding something I liked better right after.

Mgo, that's what's going to happen as soon as you get one of the newer phones. I'm waiting for the next Nexus phone. Hopefully that's what Samsung and Google are announcing next week. I really don't want to go iPhone because imo, Android is just better. I will say that you're a strong man still carrying an OG Droid lol. You will be getting a super upgrade. My Evo is still going strong for me, rooted running MIUI Rom. I know i'm in no rush to upgrade either. I'll be waiting til the end of the year.

I could probably stomach $200 but not $300. In any case I'll probably wait until this next wave comes out to see if some of the prices drop on the existing phones. Any opinions on the ones I mentioned above? The X2 and Incredible 2 are actually $99 at Best Buy right now.

- Droid 3 - $150
- Droid X2 - $100
- HTC Incredible 2 - $100

Yeah, I know...that's why by the end of October I'll have a new phone. If the Bionic had released in July I'd probably have gone for it, but as it is I only have to wait a month or so for other LTE phones.

I'm not waiting past October, my Droid is so clunky and the onboard memory's filled and I'm so done with it lol. It'll be amazing going to a dual core 1.5GHZ ish type phone with LTE, I can't imagine lol I'm spending whatever it takes to get a completely off the hook phone...I refuse to go cheap on a phone I'm stuck with for 1.5ish years.

My 2 years is up this fall, but i've been eligible for upgrade since summer at some point...then my GF should be able to update her Droid 2 in spring sometime.

I'm switching to AT&T and I'm looking to get a smartphone for under $100. What would you guys recommend?

Too damn big. I held the Sprint Galaxy S2 today and itS huge. I don't have large hands so I won't do any more than my 4.3 inch screen
