Con:
Cheap build quality
Tacky back

I've seen this mentioned a few times. And I'm sure each of us will have varying experiences when holding the actual phone. But is this even a huge issue?

I've seen many considering protective cases for the DI. Personally, I'm leaning that way as well. It seems to me that the protective cases are largely going to mask or eliminate this as an issue altogether.

YMMV
 
haha Only 2 pro's for the incredible, are you serious? That was one of the most biased pro/con lists i've ever seen. Plus, i love how your saying the iphone 4g has a higher res display when we dont even know a damn thing about the phone.

How could I be bias if I do not own a iPhone or an Apple product. Yea only to Pros and they are huge ones. The OS is one of the most important part of your phones and I love Android and hate iPhone OS. The screen is also important sense your phone is a touch screen phone. Im pretty sure the rumored 940x640 is correct sense that is double the iPhone's and wouldn't screw up all the apps already made for the current iPhone.
 
What's the final consensus on buying insurance on the phone?

What if I were to drop it, and crack the screen? What type of insurance is best? Or is it a sham?
 
More megapixels doesnt mean better picture. Ive seen the pic quality and the vid quality and the 1 year old Omnia HD is better. The video quality is just like the desires. The frame rate is between 26 and 17. Thats terrible, and also the video quality is grainy and pix elated. Did you even see and videos taken with the Incredible? The sound is so horrendous. Im basing my assumption of the iPhone's camera being better off of this.

That has got to be the stupidest comparison ever. The video from the Incredible is in DIRECT SUNLIGHT, with reflections off the water. Not to mention the wind scewing up the sound.

The iPhone video is taken in the SHADE, with no reflective surfaces, on a quiet street in someone's front yard.

You should be in marketing. You really know how to twist something.

I think this is a huge issue considering im going to be spending $200 on this device and I will also have it for 2 years. I want it to feel like $200. I have always loved the original iPhone cause it is made out of sturdy aluminum. The Legend is also awesome.
 
I did...they are claiming that free 2 day shipping will still be delivered on the 29th so I'm failing to see what the free overnight shipping code benefits anyone? other than possibly getting it earlier in the day

The free overnight shipping code is a site wide code and not just for the Incredible. With the pre-order for the Incredible they are guaranteeing the delivery for the 29th. All other phones on the site make sense to use the code. We are all just being anal and using the code to make sure (I did it too). The reality is that we will all probably receive our phones with the same shipping method. If Verizon is smart they will ship all us early pre-orders on the 27th with 2-day delivery and same some money since it will still arrive on the 29th.

Pimp the Iphone some where else. Engadget Gizmo. This is a android forum and I for one have already pre ordered. Go buy your Iphone when it comes out in June. Most of us folks will stay with the Incredible.

You are right. It's the light sensors that that make the camera not how many mega pixels it has. The camera may very well be better at taking pics and video. So, if you are looking for a camera that happens to have a phone attached then you should go with the iphone. If you are looking for a highly customizable, blazing fast, feature rich, Incredible phone. Then guess which you should choose.

Do you really want a phone who's main selling point for their new operating system is more advertisements????
 
also the incredible video supraman showed is a 640x480 video from androidcentral.com's review, the one below it is an 800x480 video and it looks alot better, it is also shot in a less windy area and is not so affected by the wind.
 
Sounds like you have already made up your mind...obviously the incredible is a terrible phone compared to the iphone. you should definitely wait for the iphone because it is gonna be the bestest evar (even if noone knows what the specs are)! :rolleyes:

No I havent made up my mind yet and no the iPhone wont be the best phone ever. The best phone ever is whatever you like. Im just saying a good camera and a high quality build is extremely high on my list of what I want. Even if I do get the iPhone it still wont be perfect for me cause it runs iPhone os and im constricted to iTunes. Im guessing from your sarcasm you think im an Apple fanboy. Im not

This is an easy solution; the iphone isn't announced yet for VZW and the Incredible is. Just buy an Incredible now. If you don't like it when or if the iphone comes out the get the iphone at that time.

wow lets compare the sound from the incredible with a video taken next to an interstate/bay then the Iphone in middle of the suburb
 
I posted this in Wordie's Q/A thread, but incase you guys don't catch it, here's the screen sensor that the incredible uses. MUCH SUPERIOR to the N1/Desire and completely different.

cheap build my a$$. just because it has plastic on it doesn't make it cheap. the hardware is great, and who cares if you can press in the back of the phone in some spots? are you going to sit in your chair and look for areas to press down? what a joke. the things the best out there right now, period, with NONE of the bugs the highly touted N1 had. not even comparable in my opinion.

oh and for the people complaining about the quality on the 8mp camera on this PHONE... you know, they make devices that ONLY take pictures... ya know, made for that purpose. if you think you're going to replace your digital SLR or HD camcorder with a camera phone, i don't know what to say...

end of that rant.:cool:
 
So...I keep reading on how we should wait to play with our new Incredibles until after we charge them up. How long do we think that first charge is going to take? Won't that be the longest few hours (?) of your life??
 
I'm one of those guys who spent the night in front of Verizon in a downpour of rain to get the PS2 when it came out. haha

:facepalm:

They also dissected the phone.

How hard is it to measure a screen diagonally?

It should be readily apparent if its the ipad's A4 SOC cpu vs the 3GS's A3

If they can access the mainboard, they should be able to see the number/capacity of the flash memory chips
Yeah, ya' know, the whole thing is starting to smell like week old fish.

What?!? After dissecting the phone, the Jizmodo guys can't look up some chip numbers on Google?????? Hellllllll-llllloooooooo.......

Let's see, these guys are supposed to be professionals, with experience at this sort of thing, right?

- No power-up
- No CPU spec (not even a guess)
- No ram spec
- No screen measurement
- I'm sure I'm leaving something else off, that would've been easy for them to ascertain & report, but they didn't....

Your fans are always looking for new info, thirsty and starving for it. You get what should be the hottest scoop of the year, and your not going to post........ a n y t h i n g - not even a hint that you'll be posting something juicy....





for.

a.

week.



At a bar........ on the floor........ with a bunch of people walking around, and the thing is not stepped on, scratched, nothing. And whoever found it just naturally contacts Gizmojo and Ungadget to see... what? if they want to buy it????

COME ........ONNNNNNNN............

Yeah, we're all that stupid..... and lame. Right.


Oh, and apologies to Nash - I only now just got caught up enough back there to read his post about not fueling the fire, etc.

Thank you; we now return to our regularly scheduled programming.
 
Shouldn't we be able to use the phone while it is plugged in and charging for the first time? At that point won't the phone be running on power from the wall and not the battery?
 
No dots on my Eris. No dots on my iPhone. Dots on my Palm 755p. Dots on my Touch Pro 2. Likely no dots on Incredible as those dots are usually only seen on stylus-equipped phones with resistive touch screens not capacitive touch screens.

This is incorrect. The Droid Eris does have dots. They are however incredibly hard to see, as the ones on the Incredible I bet will be.
 
Jay - it was not supposed to release but it did. Management is looking into now.....


This is the answer I got when i emailed her about why my shipment was already sent out.....
