Who's planning on picking up the Droid 3?

[experiment626]

I too had been thinking about going with the SonyEricsson Xperia Play.I've always loved SE styling and a vanilla Android device on VZW is a nice change of pace. But I have to admit the Droid 3 looks very impressive,at least on paper.I'll wait until the D3 is released to decide

I wanted to like the xplay, but its very underwhelming. A gaming device should age well, so releasing it with tech that's already on the way out was a big mistake.
Now, if xplay had the same specs as d3, I would have a real dilemma on my hands. As it is, the d3 is an easy choice.

But then, if I could live without my keyboard, I suppose i'd wait for the bionic.

8 months ago I would have been waiting for the D3 but now that I have gone to the DX I don't mind, not having the keyboard. So Bionic or Galaxy S2 for me. Possibly nexus but I will cross that bridge if and when it becomes available.

Thanks for the clarification so essentially the memory amount is the same but management has improved. I will pick it up it has enough improvements and has enough of what i don't want (4g).

I will be getting the D3. 4G doesn't matter to me at all but a physical keyboard matters a lot, especially one with dedicated number keys.

Why would you not want 4G?

 

[Droidrage729]

No need for it. If the 4g coverage does work it kills your battery ridiculously fast. That's if you can get a dependable connection. And yea its fast but not enough for me to want to pay extra for it. Im not jumping on the bandwagon just cause its new. At this point I think people will buy a turd from Verizon if they slap a new sticker on it. Like I said d3 has was I need and us lacking something I don't want.

I agree 100%.

Not really. My Charge has lasted much longer than my X in battery life.
And can download much faster. Like 30x faster where I live.

But if it isn't in your area, I can see why.

Why would you not want 4G?

Assuming thses things are fixed in the next generation, I agree:

1. Current LTE chipsets eat battery 50% more than 3G (The Charge is no better, but a slower chipset and samoled display helps to mitigate the LTE chipset power hunger.

2. Network is sparse, immature and problematic when in mainly 3G areas.

3. No true "on the fly" radio switching, so need to power on an off the device for proper adjustment. The next generation is supposed to have this feature.

I will get the D3 to at least test out, and then either keep it, or wait for the Bionic or SG2. If I buy the Bionic, 4G would be turned off anyway. I prefer battery life, until the technology is more power efficient.

Lack of 4g (it is in my area), the slightly crappy screen are the two deal breakers for me. I may have been more motivated to upgrade my original Droid if I hadn't rooted and loaded simply stunning. I can be patient for the Droid 4, should only be a few months...

/and a real QWERTY keyboard is a must. I just suck at on screen keyboards!

 

[Raptor007]

I know there are users who don't like the pentile display, but based on what I have seen I don't see the complaints. Now when I get a D3 and use it for a week or two then I will see.

Does anyone know if it will have a front facing camera for video chat? None of the leaked pictures or videos I've seen has made mention of that and video chatting is something I'd like to begin doing with my next phone.
