New HTC android phone for Verizon - Page 3

I've been looking for about 6 weeks now. I was 2 on my new every 2 on Monday (9/13)...and I still can't make up my mind.
IMO...
DINC = fast, sense, perfect size, con: battery
DX = awesome screen, flat, fast, con: it's HUGE
D2 = very nice, has keyboard like my current TP, con: doesn't wow me

at lunch today...I checked out the Fascinate...and I have to say...I liked it. It's not a full Android, but I heard it can be rooted to become one. Don't know.

What to do?

Say what? Not full Android? How do you only have half Android? And if you mean Bing then Google Maps is a download and Google Search can be added back. Besides which it's not that big of a deal.

Motorola phones get better battery life than HTC phones. I'd go for the D2 if you do e-mail a lot.

What is all the BING hate about on the Android forums? I have the Imagio and have had both Google Maps and Bing for a long time (pretty much since I got the phone) and I actually prefer to use Bing over Google. I never had anything for or against Bing or Google, I kind of used both and really liked the ability that Bing has where I can hit the speach softkey and just tell it the name of a business or type of buisiness I want to locate and it searches and finds them under the LOCAL tab. Then I hit the button for navigate and it does all the work for me and provides free turn by turn. Overall, BING made me happy with how well it works no matter where I am. I find food, movies, motorcycle shops... anything I want or need with speach to text search in Bing.

I am looking at the Samsung because it is an Android and already has the search companion that I prefer to use anyways.... but the screen size of that Droid X is calling to me! Maybe I can get Bing on the X?

The Bing hate is Google fanboys. Not sure why.

Yes, you can get Bing on the X. There is a Bing app in the market.

no they don't. do you know anybody with a droid x, they complain about battery more then we do. if you're worried about battery get a samsung.

^^^dunno about that. my droid x destroys the incredible i had in terms of battery life. but honestly battery life is mostly a really subjective thing though, just like cellular service, its gonna vary for everyone

EDIT: heres an article i found about: Android Battery Tests

if we aren't comparing the same roms then I agree, htc rom kills battery with the sense incorporated
