Verizon HTC Droid Incredible Review

The Google website started this week to refer Verizon customers to the Verizon website to buy the Verizon HTC Incredible instead of the Google Nexus One which is made by HTC as well. To tell you you truth I really like this HTC Incredible much better compared to the Google Nexus One we unboxed before.

Verizon took on the “Droid” branding with their phones which could be confusing to consumers. Consumer who just say say they have a Droid, don’t know there are now at least three different Droid’s out there. The Motorola Droid, the HTC Droid Eris and now Verizon is marketing this new device has the HTC Droid Incredible or Droid Incredible by HTC

What makes this device different compared to other phones on the Market today?  The Specifications and the HTC Sense User Interface. The 1GHz Snapdragon Qualcomm chip , 8 mega pixel camera and a 8 GB internal memory gives this device the ultimate power and memory to make it the device you want to carry around. The memory is expandable with a 32 GB micro Sd card. (the mention 32 MB support on the HTC site, but I think that is an error).

The HTC Sense user interface is called the Next Generation. More widgets, more formats of the same widgets and Pinch to zoom across the applications on the device including for the slider panels on the home screens. HTC specific widgets are giving the standard applications the nice HTC look,  like the Calendar. Like I said, the HTC Sense Next Generation User Interface sets this device apart and brings it to a new level compared to other devices.

Normally we are used to thicker devices from the CDMA carriers like Verizon and Sprint, but this device is lighter and just as thin as the iPhone. This was really a big surprise to me.

I have made a short video with my first impressions of this, yes really an Incredible device. Unfortunately I have to give this device up today, but we are are hoping that Verizon will send us a sample device soon to get a better feel and experience that we will be able to share with you all.

The Verizon HTC Droid Incredible cost $199.99 with a 2 year contact which includes the $29.99/month data package. Check out the special Verizon HTC Droid Incredible site here.  On this site you can see the full specifications, features and a overview of this Incredible device.
