Mobile phone in VN (I've done my searching through the forum)

I've read all the threads in the forum and am still wanting more info.  I'm coming from the US with my 2 year old HTC Incredible.  Also have an old BlackBerry 8830. 

The HTC is acting like a POS recently thanks to the latest software upgrade.  Seems that it can't multitask as it once did.  The 8830 was a trusty warrior without a camera. 

What suggestions do members have for me re: phone service, pricing, etc.  Should I look at getting an unlocked 4g phone here in the US, or wait to see what I really want to do with a phone and buy one there?  New/used doesn't make a difference.  Obviously have to be careful to not buy a stolen phone. 

Thanks 

Save your money!  Between those 2 phones you should be OK.  I know someone who may look at the HTC and give his opinion, or maybe even fix it.  If not, then you can get a decent droid for 2.5 VND.

I am curious as to what services you think they need v older people?
I subscribe to their services and use, streaming, email, im,games, chat and other services. I wouldn't class myself as young though, so I'm curious as to what I'm missing out.....

OP What's the problem with your HTC ? You running it stock? no modifications to it? Pretty good phone and I'm sure it can reclaim its former glory unless syou want an upgrade.

I've enjoyed the phone and was planning to keep it for a while longer.  No problems until recently.

HTC pushed through an OS upgrade in July.  Since then these phones lock up and/or go into a perpetual reboot cycle when you are using any sort of map/gps feature especially.  CAn be as simple as doing a check-in through facebook or getting walking directions in the city.

I've taken to the Verizon shop several times, done a factory reset, and scoured the online forums.  All seem to conclude that it's not going to change until HTC Google/Android creates a fix.

So now I'm considering my options.  I have no interest in buying a $600 usd phone.  I'm not an online video user.  Primarily talk, text, email, map, some browsing.

Ah yes a well know problem and one that's relatively easy to fix.

I'll pm you some info
