I have to interrupt on this one Kiteless, sorry haha.

Laz, if a phone's UI bogs down, just root it and flash a different UI rom.

HTC Sense does suck, but the new upcoming 3.0 Sense is smooth as hell.

I would stick with a 3G just because 4G is still new and they still need to get up a lot of towers and improve phones battery life using that.

And Rain DOES make a damn well point.
I would love to get the Panasonic or Sharp phone from Japan, but the unlocked phones are $699 and up
And the fact that Verizon does not use SIM cards except on Blackberrys a few Droid world phones....

HTC Evo 4g wasn't built with quality...had a few of my friends with one have several problems. Touch screen stopped working, the speaker went bad on one, phone's bottom light up touch buttons stopped working when wifi was on..
Somehow the HTC Incredible (same as Evo but smaller and no 4G) was built good (go figure, damn Chinese inconsistency). Sean and I have been rocking this since last year (AMOLED version), and man does it live up to its name.

Select a a couple phones from carrier, then go crazy on reviews about them. I spent about a month before i got the phone..although Sean might think i copied him

But but but .....

Seriously though I am sick of Sense. As much as I wanted a "Super Phone" with a big screen, the T-Bolt was not too bad size wise and I was able to tolerate the slowness of Sense. I was holding out for Cyanogen MOD but because it was an LTE phone the roms that had some out don't have the right software for LTE to work, so it was kind of a hack and I didn't want to loose LTE. After I added the extended battery the bulkiness of the phone combined with all its other shortcoming really ate away at me. After a while it was like nails on a chalkboard, sloooooly moving doen the board, Skreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek every time I used it.

I had a Droid Pro at work laying around. It technically belongs to work, so I am just borrowing it. What ever I manage the phones here, among other things. So I moved it on my personal Verizon account and even though it has a small screen that is only 480x320 (original iPhone Res) 3.1" screen. Even my original Droid was 845x480. But even then, the physical keyboard is great, its running Gingerbread from Motorola, and its really fast. Really only major complaint I have about it is that it is a little unstable and reboots on me at least every other day for no apparent reason.

I don't think the Droid Charge is gonna be a slow phone. But I can understand if you don't like Samsung because your previous phone was one, and is super slow. I have my own reasons for disliking Samsung that has nothing to do with phones.

Aaaanyway geeking out on phones here...
