Why not get it then just resell it on eBay later if you don't want it? I just burned my early upgrade on a Droid 3 and I'm happy about the decision. I'll have it Wednesday.
@ericerk: That's a whole year away at least, why wait if he can upgrade now?

I'd say so, especially if you're wanting a physical keyboard again. I've only had hands on with it foe a couple minutes, but I was VERY impressed. Much more so than the DX2, but that's not really saying much.

Its a pretty big upgrade. 1080p recording, front facing camera, superior dual core processor, 5 row hardware keyboard. Next year it should still be worth $250 or so on eBay. Sell it and pay the difference on a new phone. It's like getting it for contract pricing.ericerk said:

I'm perfectly fine right now with my DX(especially with CM7 and hopefully some more development in the future!), but I might try to jack my moms upgrade for the bionic or hold out for the next "big thing" when my contract is up.
Different spin on the question - bought a DInc2 from a VZW store ten days ago to latch in the unlimited data plan. Droid3 will be in-store just in time for me to trade in the DInc2 if I want to ($35 fee plus price difference of $50?). I see the spec differences (qHD, dual-core, phy kbd ; front camera not as good) - but for those who have touched a D3 how impressive is it? Should I take a chance on a change?
Side factors:
- I wanted LTE but I don't want a 4.3" display in my pocket and don't want to have to charge twice a day. Will think about an upgrade late this year / early next.
- I don't care that much about the physical keyboard, but for 0.02" additional thickness I'll take it.
- I know some don't like Sense but I kinda do.
- I have a tablet to play with rooting, alt ROMs, etc so I don't HAVE to do that to my everyday phone ;-). (Nook Color woo!)
- DInc2 already has root, recovery, CM7, etc in public - I haven't applied until I decide whether I'm keeping it.

Basically free, til you get arrested and go to jail over a phone!AndroidSims said:Its a pretty big upgrade. 1080p recording, front facing camera, superior dual core processor, 5 row hardware keyboard.

I have the insurance on my phone, covers theft. When the time comes to upgrade I'll make a claim, sell the phone with a Bad esn, buy an upgrade then sell my replacement. It'll practically be free... if a little unethical.

There is a $100 deductible and it's $5.18 a month. Basically just getting my money back in one lump sum. Also, carriers charge us an arm and a leg off contract for a new device. So I don't really give a damn.Kickasz23 said:

I'm confident that the Droid 3 will have a good following. All in all for $199, it's a very solid device.I'll let you know how I feel about it tomorrow when I have it in my hands.adamooo said:
