Need to upgrade to a smartphone

[Huskie]

My wife and I both need to upgrade our phones, we are with verizon and out of contract. What would you folks recommend and how much will the cost be. We spent some time with our daughter and son in law and liked what their phones could do via the internet, especially when traveling.

I had a thunderbolt for a week and returned it for a charge. I like my charge it's my first smart phone so I dont know too much to compare it too, but I wouldn't trade this phone in. I like the screen nice and clear and bright colors.

I'm running an Evo 3d and it's been great. Lightning fast and I can go 2 days on a charge in the cities with moderate data usage (just a full day at the lake due to weaker signals). And yes the 3d works, but there aren't many times you'll use it.

I just upgraded from a Droid X to a Droix X2, I wouldn't be without it.

I upgraded my wife from an HTC Incredible to a Droid X2. She HATES technology, but absolutely loves her X2 over her Incredible.

Plus, I don't know if the sale is still going on, if you buy one X2, you get the second one free.

I missed out on the deal by 4 days.

If the internet portion of the phone is a big draw for you I would mostly recommend the largest screen (4.3 inch or larger) you can get, it will up your viewing pleasure and make things alot easier with on screen keyboards.

I personally have a Dell Streak 5 - 5 inch screen, yes it is big, BUT it only took me about a day to get over that awkward feeling. I can never go back to a smaller screen so I'm hoping they continue with the 5 inch form factor.
