Alright if that was the point of the post, then I revoke my previous comment.
I have a droid 2 global I got spring of 2011. Gets me through the day. Some of the things in the phone are being weird now, but nothing that interferes with daily usage.
I'll stick with this until spring of 2013, and get a free-upgrade with a new 2-yr contract from verizon. That's assuming I can keep my unlimited data plan (may have to get a phone w/o 4G)
