Well it not having a SIM card slot is one reason and the other would probably be those bands are disabled on the chip.

Yeah, that's a bummer about the SIM slot, as it may make the phone a deal breaker for me. I need something I can use with assurance in Europe and China.
 
I'm not sure if anyone else feels the same way, but i think i'm still in a bit of a shock after the ridiculous "new" spec's...not even sure where to begin....

Any chance that this is Google's first step towards larger app storage? If you remember they did say they were working on a solution to allow app installation to sd cards. Could it be that this phone will allow installation to the onboard ROM (presumably 6GB if we are to believe it)? Just thinking out loud here and trying to reason out if there is any chance in hell that any of this could be real.

I need to take the trash out...i'll let you guys know if i see any pigs flying...:D
 
with today being like a 15 page day, I'm afraid to go to sleep tonight thinking that I'll have to wake up and have another 10 pages to catch up on!

Well, let ponder on the other great HTC phones coming out:

N1
Desire

Both only have 512 ROM.

N1 has 512 RAM
Desire has 576 RAM

Nowhere does it state either has anything close to 6gb of ROM OR RAM. Why would this phone be so wildly different? There's nothing in the spec sheet for the Incredible that's even close to that either.
 
So I was going to attempt to fool people into thinking I saw this at a local Verizon Store signifying the N1 being launched soon but I didn't have the heart. Incredible all the way!

It's my dogs toy.

I'm not a techie, but it seems to me that Google would find a way to let apps be stored on the memory card first, before they do on board storage, no? What do I know? :rolleyes:

FWIW I think the N1 also has 576MB of RAM. 512 MB of RAM plus 64MB of memory for the graphics chip.

Yes, but then your 3D games wouldn't look as great or have as great of performance.

For the app things, Google doesn't allow you to put them on an SD card because of piracy issues. And there isn't enough room for 6GB unless you lost your SD slot. Then again, they might have been able to fit it in...who knows.

True, agreed, but those phone are for different carriers, carries which I am NOT on. I am on VZW and I am special, so therefore VZW is special and I deserve 6 mb of ROM.

Having said that, this is the only sound, logic I can come up for the 6 gb spec. Carry on! ;)

Either you misunderstood my post or you have no idea what I was talking about lol

Had to post. Not because of the new developments, not because I have new information to add, but because you're not hearing from enough women. Not everyone eagerly anticipating the Incredible is a guy, and there are a lot of men who can't figure out their phones until their patient, loving wives show them how they work.

(Ducks from the stones that are sure to follow)

Welcome to the very small club.:) I wonder how many of us are lurking. My husband wants a "cool phone that does something". He's lucky he married a total tech nerd who loves this stuff. :D I

I'm just going off the published spec by HTC and Google. They list the Desire as 576 and the N1 as 512...

Still nothing even close to 6gb.

Yeah, without the phone in your hand, you are a mere mortal like the rest of us, here. (Feet of clay) :p :D

More like a 768 mhz QSD8250 snapdragon chip than the 1ghz qsd8650. This can't be underclocked since theres a chip for that.
 
Long time lurker, first time poster.

NKT, maybe a minor issue but where is the charging port located? I have been using Seidio products for years and like their car cradles. All the past HTC phone I have had have the port on the bottom and stand upright in the cradles.

nkt -

a few questions if you have time. i appreciate any feedback:

1) the black back does look alot more smooth, but can you confirm, is it the same type of back used on the eris feel-wise? (kinda sorta rubbery).
2) also, did the incredible have live wallpapers?
3) do you, or anybody else, know how fast the N1 runs at (full 1ghz? slightly underclocked?) so we know what to compare this 768mhz to.
4) does the apps menu have the rolodex/3D scrolling like the N1?
5) did you get a chance to check out the picture gallery setup? the one on the n1 is pretty nifty/3D like. is this similar?
6) how accurate/effective was the optical trackpad?
7) will you have any more opportunities to see/play with the phone in the near future?

thank you so much for your information and your patience to answer all questions thrown at you!

Sorry, must have missed it...

1. Yes, the back is very similar to the Eris.
2. Live Wallpapers are there. They look stunning.
3. Don't know what the N1 is actually running at. Hopefully I can get some more hands on with the Incredible to really push it and see how it performs. The short time I spent with it, it FLEW!
4. App menu is just like the Eris 2.1
5. Picture gallery is the same as the Eris 2.1 as well.
6. The optical pad was weird to use compared to a trackball. This is probably just familiarity with a ball. But an advantage of the optical is, no cruddy ball.
7. I hope to. Nothing set in stone. I tried to take advantage and gather as much as I could from the short time I had it.
