I've been following this whole thing since I saw a picture of the HTC Passion, which turned out to be the N1. The thing I don't think I've seen a question about though is haptic feedback. It's the ONE thing that my Dare has that I absolutely love. Is that something that comes standard on the Incredible, or something that is enabled?

I believe the Desire and Legend both have standard haptic feedback, so with that regards, the Incredible should have it as well.
 
If Stericson's has a source that can give him info directly from the phone I'm inclined to take those stats as correct. The info I had on the proc and memory is from documentation that came with the test phone, not the device itself.

Great to have you on board here Stericson :)

Only problem is that it now sounds as though the device is a real battery HOG (at 1 ghz speed), which is a major concern. It's great that it can scramble an egg and do all of your dry cleaning for you, but if you're gong to use it for voice calls each day in addition to productivity apps, texting/SMS, social networking, web surfing, video playback/recording, gaming you'll be swapping batteries out at least once a day. I went through that once with my old XV6700 and have no desire to live through that again. This just reproves the old adage that there's a trade-off to everything.

Several were mentioning an after-market extended battery, but the problem I see with that is similar to what I faced with the extended battery on my old i760. Unless they're able to shove more power into a battery of the same size as the OEM battery,(structure-wize) the Incredible would lose the flat back of the phone.

Hopefully seidio will offer something similar to the extended battery that's offered for the N1

i had an eris for awhile...and the big knock on that phone was the horrible battery life...I changed a couple settings and broke the battery in and it was fine. But people on the web just tend to grab onto this type of thing and wring there hands over it. Drives me NUTS!!!:rolleyes:

Sure the battery is not going to last a week....but if you do a little housekeeping you will easily get thru the day and night...just put it on the charger when you go to bed and you will be fine.

If you find you just can't make it thru the day with all that you need from the phone....then return it and buy a different phone. Or carry a second battery...certainly not the end of the world. :cool:

agreed, and it also depends on where you are/live... here in MA a battery doesn't last long... I visit my dad in AZ and my phone goes days with needing a charge, and that's with heavy use... so it's all relative. Glad to hear about the seidio option, I'll have to check that out.

Verified by using the multitouch app in the market.

Also, my source is no longer available at this time.

If yall want to get a hold of me yall know my twitter and my email/gtalk.
thats the best ya to get a hold of me.

Can you comment on the weight of the device? Or do you have a specific number?
 
It's interesting that the battery doesn't have the capacity of the ones in the Desire and N1. You would think HTC would be sure to put an adequate power supply for typical usage. With this logic in mind I bet there is something to be said for how you set up your phone. If that fails, I know I will be purchasing a few extended life back up batteries as soon as they are available.

Also, someone mentioned Monoprice for the micro usb cord....and I can vouch for that company. They are well known in the AVS Forum....a good source for home theater cables, etc. Smart advice to pick your cable up there as they have excellent prices and are very good quality.

I put my BB 8830 on the charger religiously every night, as I did my XV6700 before it. One HUGE plus in RIM's column is that BB's are great on battery life. I've gone a day or two on occasion without charging and have been fine.

Quite often with the XV6700, on the otherhand, I'd have to put it on the car charger late in the day in order to use it to make a call or send/receive e-mail. I know a lot of iPhone users that deal with the same issue. Regardless how you slice it and dice it it's a pain and an inconvenience and an added cost if you have to carry around a spare battery and keep it charged as well. Is it a deal breaker? Not necessarily, but I'd be curious to hear how the N1 and Desire's battery life compares under similar use to what Stericson's contact was putting the Incredible through, who reported that it sucked.
 
Oh my...I don't check the forum for two days and I have to spend an hour catching up ;)

Great to see NKT on the team!

I am not reeling losing sleep over the under-clocked processor. Sense is so optimized that I don't think it will be a true issue. As long as it is snappy!
 
Christ...i go out for Indian food and drinks with friends and wake up with a massive poop on deck, a hangover, and 5 pages of info to catch up on...and updates to make on the first post (thanks for the PMs...you know who you are).

Give me a few minutes and i'll report back that it's all been updated.:confused:

P.S. Needless to say i'm ecstatic about the news! Continued gratitude to NKT and Stericson.
 
Stericson,

Any more confirmation about a second noise canceling mic. NKT doesn't seem to think it is on the Incredible. From the pics it looks like there is only one hole in the back for the spekaer.

Also, any comments on speaker phone quality? Most people seem to say the N1's is subpar.

Finally, not Incredible related, but does your source know anything about any 4.3" Verizon android phones?

Seconded. I have bought a number of cables from them and I'm very happy. I have a pair of 15 ft HMDI cables used to remotely locate my bluray player and cable box. That would probably be $500 in Monster Cables but it only cost me $40 and the stuff is high quality. I also have some usb car chargers and usb cables from them that I use as universal chargers for my ipod touch and phones. Set myself up with mini and micro USB options for both cars and home for about $12 shipped. Can't beat that.
