Hello all. I've just come from being an AT&T customer for abour 4 years and I am finally done. I have an HTC incredible 2 right now and it's great. But I'm not totally sold as of yet. I messed around with the Droid 3 in the store and wanted it, but they didn't have it in the store and said it had to be ordered. Is there anyone here that has owned both and prefer one over the other? This decision is literally keeping me up at night because I want it to be a phone I can stick with until I'm upgrade worthy. Also, I just came from having a Droid Charge. GREAT PHONE, SUCKY BATTERY LIFE and 4G isn't everywhere so it's always looking for a CDMA connection and it drains the crap out of my battery.
Things that influence my decision:
Data speeds and reliability
OS stability and flexibility
Camera quality and sound of videos (I found the sound in my Dinc 2 is horrible)
And most of all....battery drain and reliable remedies for it.
Note, i previously owned an iphone 4 on AT&T. Great phone, but can be a bit strick at times.
So any input PLEASE.
If you need a keyboard, D3 is a good phone. I don't know anything about the DI2 so I can't compare. That said, the D3 isn't without problems, battery life being one:

Motorola said they're aware of the problem and we're expecting a fix soon based on a few rumors.
With the D3, I have not noticed data speed better or worse than my OG Droid or DX. The D3 has less problems than I've had without phones but isn't bug free. The biggest problem for me is battery life right now. The camera has a bug where close photos have a blue tint.
Checkout the motorola forums for the D3 and most of these are discussed in detail.
I have heard of that blue tint thing going on. Not too sure what thats about but I'll look into it. I've heard of different people having different experiences with motoblur. Not to sure what thats about. My GF loved motoblur on her Atrix, but we jumped ship to Verizon. Been looking to see if motoblur is better than HTC sense.
My main problem with the DInc 2 is the shape and feel. I feel somewhat girly. I dunno why.
