My HTC Incredible is on its last legs. It will no longer charge the battery.(I've tested the battery with a wall charger; it is not the problem.)

So I need to decide which new Verizon phone to get. Before doing much research, my initial list is the Incredible 2, something 4g like the Thunderbolt, or an iPhone.


I'm happy with the Incredible except for its shirt life -- I've only had it for 18 months. The new every two program is no good if the phone dies in less than two years!!

So I'm curious, how long has your smartphone lasted before it malfunctioned and needed to be replaced??

Thanks as always for your input!!
