so here is the situation. at first, i wanted to buy a Droid X but they were all out of stock at the verizon store near me, so i left with a droid incredible instead. but surprisingly for me i liked the incredible a lot more then i expected that i would. and i used my incredible for a few weeks but then i started noticing the speaker on the front wasnt working right, it would make a static noise during a phone call. and i have not even reached the 30 day limit with this phone so i returned the incredible back to the vzw store again but instead of getting a new incredible i decided to get a droid x instead like i originally planned to get. and i have been using this droid x for about a few weeks now and i must say, i liked my Droid Incredible MUCH better. the incredible was much faster, and sexier. so now i am wondering if verizon will let me take back my Droid x and once again get a Droid incredible instead, i really miss my incredible and im really starting to hate this phone.
so if you didnt get that the first time in short. i had a droid incredible, i loved it, but it broke. so i got a droid x and hated it. now i want to return it and get an incredible again, but i want to know if verizon will actually let me do that.
and on an unrelated not if verizon DOES let me get an incredible again will i have one of the newer models with the SLCD displays? does any one know if this screen looks any better then the older screens? just wondering

That depends on.............mood of store manager. They can do pretty much everything there, however they could tell you you cannot make a second exchange. That happened to me once, but the manager was nice enough a let me do the exchange 3 times. So, my suggestion is - make up a little story and give it a try. Good luck.
HTC seems to always bring the greatest and latest. But in my experience their phones just don't last. Serious...NOT trying to troll. I've literally gone through 20+ HTC Recertified Like New devices in the past few years. Most common was the Oil Slick LCD problem, where Verizon eventually started blaming the customer as user affected abuse even though the LCD wasn't cracked.
Great specs encased with cheap plastic and cheap parts.

Thats been my experience with HTC devices. Loved them all until they broke in the first 3 months. I went through 13 HTC devices (from the Vogue all the way up to the Rhodium) in about a year and a half. Personally, I will never own another HTC device unless that company does something AMAZING.
As far as your question goes, if the store manager is unwilling to do anything for you, I'm sure you could find someone that would be willing to trade their Incredible for your DX.

Droid X is sold, bought a fascinate.
Tired of lacking full root, needing SBF's, fake AOSP, and inability to use 3rd party kernels. This all really destroyed what I considered the best phone ever released.
Great job on the eFuse Motorola! I'll never buy another phone again unless it's fully rooted first.
hopefully you also posted this on moto's own DX forums where it would have more desirable impact for you
Haha I six the same. The fascinate has shoddy sour e, great devs abd who knows when it will get froyo let alone gingerbfead. I am a admin in the fascinate irc chat and bc la k of true source, la k of froyo and lots of bugs im back with my x and my dinc( can't decide ) I love miui on the dinc. Trust me fas inats has awesome harware. You are going to regret that decision. I would rather have a lo led bootmoaxer than horse shot software u can't do anything with.

I definitely agree with you protesting with your wallet, but telling us won't help as much as you sending them an email and posting in there forums.
I miss my Dinc. The X is nice, but man I am missing full root myself. Although, I am sure something better is around the corner. I will hold out.
yeah i had a fascinate for 1 day (basically got it for a cheap price on craigslist so i could either sell or trade for an x) that fascinate was quick but boy that ui sucks. no google? thats even more dumb. i love my x. i had one for a couple months and sold it thinking i was gonna break it in a rough environment i started working in, but now i have another one and won't change til something way better comes out... HTC Merge maybe???
I don't have these problems. Why you might ask well im not rooted I use the phone for what it does and that's a lot. Not a fan of rooting. I see to baby problems with that stuff. I realy on my phone to work when I need it to. Just my two cents. I had the vibrant before this and its the worst phone i've ever had sanding does not take care if there phones. When will it get 2.2? Its six months behind most phones. You are getting rid of one of the best phones out because you can't root it like you want must be nice to mess with a phone then decide to just get something else. I can only afford to buy one phone so I don't mess with it. I mess this phone up I will then be using a very old non smart phone for my new phone. Now I know that there are really cool things that a rooted phone can do but if its not broken don't fix it. Unfortunately im in the minority with this.

This made me laugh. I thought the exact same thing. Maybe he was trying to use Swype for the first time or something?
I didn't like my X in the beginning before it was rooted. I hated the blur except for a few apps (Alarm, Camera, etc.), but now that I'm rooted and running Fission I'm more than happy with it.
The Droid X, Milestone etc bootloaders were not actually unlocked. It was a hoax. http://www.androidcentral.com/motorola-bootloader-still-encrypted-developer-comes-clean
I don't see why so many are willing to put up with this. There are plenty of other good android phones out there. As long as Motorola is going to fight this, there will never be a truly safe way to flash custom roms/kernels on droid phones, and devs simply aren't going to invest the time necessary to develop much.

Motorola is too committed to their bootloaders not being crackable. Just pick another phone for your next one.
disappointing, and we all know now not to ever trust nenolod again. thunderbolt here i come...
I think its horrible that some one thought it was funny that this happened. I know I am a no body to the android community but I for sure did an "unfollow" on twitter today.

And the thing is he said it was because people kept bothering him about the stuff. Well I never even heard of this guy until all this came out as im sure the case with most people, so why play this stupid "trick" on all of us?
Again, lets throw all of out locked droid x's at him. He shoukd be banned from android period

I would recommend a Galaxy S. The bootloaders are unlocked and it now has a functional CM7 version. Plus, nothing beats the Super AMOLED screen.
Yeah this was pretty lame, got my hopes up, so I just got a dinc for now until I can afford a new phone or get my upgrade.

I loved my Droid X when I first got it. Rooted it and had leaked Froyo running on it before OTA was available. After that there was not much more I could do with it. Bought a used Captivate on ebay. There are lots of custom ROMs and kernels to choose from. When September rolls around I hope there is a new Samsung phone available. No more Moto's for me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Galaxy S phones are very solid, with a few mods, it will fly. Plus the bootloader is unlocked, if u are coming from the x, you will greatly appreciate this. I just picked up a thunderbolt and so far, i love it. Its crazy fast, LTE or not, and having the 256mb of extra ram really makes for a phone that never slows down, no matter what you are doing. My only complaint other than the battery being undersized, as HTC ALWAYS does, is the adreno 205, people with the mytouch or G2 will tell you its good. When voming from a galaxy s the GPU is the only thing that i dont think is better.

You should look up the specs before you make assumptions...

OPERATING SYSTEM
Android 2.2 (FroYo)
I'm just going by what i heard.... which i think was what someone said in another thread on these forums. Why didn't i take the time to look up the specs before asking my QUESTION? Because the Droid X2 is a Verizon phone. I don't use Verizon. Hence have hardly any interest in the phone.

Yeah, but it's a Motorola Phone... shouldn't matter what carrier it's on... I had the original Droid X when it came out cus ATT sucked with their choice of Android phones... fan of technology not fan of companies...
Sometimes I can be blunt with my responses.. don't take it the wrong way... was just making a point...
Well yea.... AT&T's choice of Android phones did suck until recently. That's why i went from an iPhone 3GS to an iPhone 4 until the Atrix came out. Though while i liked Android... didn't really feel like switching carriers for it.... so i didn't really bother with the Droid/Droid X/ Droid 2, etc...
Yep, what sort of bongo company releases a second high end phone with an outdated system, oh wait it can only be moto!
I am returning to the Incredible after dabbling with a Fascinate for a while. It just seems this thing will never die out. Developments has actually boomed since I was last here and that is great.

I test drove the fanny too, and have to say it. The dinc crushes that phone. The dinc is like a Midwestern farmgirl, and the Fanny is like a Russian model. The dinc isn't quite as pretty, but when you need some heavy labor done, she goes like crazy until the task is done. While the Russian model looks at you with that pretty screen, and has no idea what you just asked her. ; )

Quite the comparison, haha.
i'm definitely not bored with it yet!! the only thing i think would improve it is 4G. other than that, i'll ride it to the end..
I have the Inc now (upgraded from the droid back in late March) and its a nice phone, but I definitely wish I had something more current (which I will come November). From a hardware standpoint its a nice phone with moderate hardware but from a modding standpoint it's not the top of the list since its still locked (and can be bricked, like my original one which I had for a week) and the hardware is showing its age when it comes to new software like Sense 3.

What do you mean its locked? The inc1? Its easy as hell to root/s-off.
Hardware may be showing some age but the dev support is pretty good still.

JoelZ has a Sense 3.0 ROM that runs beautifully on my dinc. No lagging, lots of free memory, its a solid daily.
The Dinc was and is my first android phone, got it when it came out last April.
Whenever I do move on, if its in December when I'm up for a new one, or later, its gonna be tough to move on. I've definitely been spoiled with the solidity of the phone and the ferocity of the dev community for it.
Im gettin a second for my gf. Anyone thay doesnt want thier dinc, im makin a stockpile to make mine last forever.

I'm contemplating moving to the Tbolt or Inc2 but lack of Dual Core and CM7 is definitely stopping me. CM7 is keeping me nice and cozy with the Inc.
Im contemplating getting the Droid 3 but man oh man is it hard. $450 for it? Idk. The incredible has served me very well, and it still has a ton of life in it. All I need to do is give it some body work... like a new chassis. I abused this thing way too much haha.

Where did you hear $450?
Or is that assuming you can get $150 for your Inc and the Droid3 is $600?
I want that phone too. XD
Hahaha well the Droid x 2 is only 450... just a guess ha. But I've been reading and looking at the Sensation... oh so tempting. The Droid 3 just isn't as pretty and polished... but it has a keyboard... and Motorola is unlocking handsets now. I hate decisions.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Don't count on the Droid 3 to have anything less than an encrypted bootloader.
I have had my Droid Incredible for about a year and a half now. It has served me very well, having about a dozen different ROMs on it during that time.
This past week, the Big Red emailed me telling me I could upgrade early for a 4G phone and save an extra $100 bucks.
So I have officially ordered my Droid Razr Maxx, and it should be here on Friday. As much as I have loved my DInc, the battery life on it is absolutely horrendous. I can't make it to 4:00 (barely using it) before it's down to 20%. Also, the magnetometer had stopped working completely, the GPS only worked sometimes, and the screen has started malfunctioning.
As much as I will miss this phone and all the people in this forum, I am excited to get my Maxx.
I may just see you around in the MAXX forums then
I just gave up my dINC to my little sis to use as an ipod type thing. I had to give it a good couple of weeks before we departed, but I knew it was the right decision.
