Sprint Evo 4G just stolen -- What Verizon phone

[Brian Stirling]

I just had my Evo 4G stolen today and have turned my service off but if it doesn't reappear in a few days I'll need to get a new phone so the question I have is -- what Android phone on Verizon. I currently have service with Sprint, of course, but my service where I'm working is crap (roaming 98% with 1 bar the rest of the time).

So, since Verizon has great service where I work and much better service most other places if I have to switch gears I might as well go back to Verizon. Yeah, Sprint has better deals but there service, in my experience, just plain sucks.

My phone preference is for a high end smart phone with large display and LTE. For me, the starting point would be 4.3 inch with a larger display being preferred so long as the resolution is better. I've looked at the Verizon website and don't see anything that seems to meet my wish-list -- is there something due soon at Verizon that's a better fit for my preferences?

get the Droid Bionic, it's being released on Thursday

The Bionic will be their first dual core LTE phone, but it'll be saddled with MotoBlur and a locked bootloader, at least, in the short term. So its going to chug with that. Droid 3 is the same SOC and runs like a snail next to single core devices running streamlined builds.

The ICS Nexus is what everyone's waiting for, it seems, now. There's also the HTC Vigor, the refresh of the T-bolt, the LG Revolution 2, refresh of the LG Revolution, and the Samsung Stratosphere, basically an Epic 4G with an LTE radio instead of a Wimax radio.
