Did you mean 225? there is no 220 in any of the krait s4 socs, the 220 was in scorpion s3
it depends on where you look according to PCmag:
"Gordon noted that the Incredible 4G doesn't have an underclocked processor; Verizon and HTC just decided to go with a slower part."
HTC: No 'One' Phones for Verizon Wireless … Yet | News & Opinion | PCMag.com
Other sites say it IS an underclocked part, so who knows at this point, but this article actually names the source from HTC, who also notes it has an unlocked bootloader
so either HTCs PR guy was wrong, or lying about it being underclocked, or its an 8930

Yeah I know what it says but its possible they could be early that table is 2 months old, and originally qualcomm said the 8930 was single core, so things change
Having said that I'd much rather the new incredible have an 8960, if not its a let down

I don't know that I have ever seen a new phone for $150 at retail price, even a flip phone.
This will probably be $400+ retail price.

Yes, 225 is exactly what I meant. Didn't someone post benchmark results showing it had the 225?
Yeah there was
Nena Innovation AB - NenaMark results
seems like an underclocked 8960 afterall that makes me
guess we will know for sure very soon

just found this bit of information
AnandTech - Qualcomm Announces a Bunch of Krait Based Snapdragon S4 SoCs
AnandTech - Qualcomm Announces a Bunch of Krait Based Snapdragon S4 SoCs
Sadly Anand was mistaken about the Adreno 305 being faster than the 225, its a newer design but its at the low end
Qualcomm News and Events - Press Releases Qualcomm Announces Next-generation Snapdragon Mobile Chipset Family
"the new Adreno 305 GPU which delivers more than six times the performance of the original Adreno"
"the Adreno 225 GPU which delivers eight times the performance of the original Adreno"

i read that too kingbee but who is to say that is even correct since it shows the 8930 as a single core cpu.
I have seen the 8930 as a q2 2012 and q3 2012 release date. so until the dinc4g comes out its all speculation i guess.
edit--- maybe what is going to happen is the first releases are going to be a lower clocked 8960 and the later ones will be the 8930 when its ready...
I have seen this in other types of electronics before. not sure if phones would be like this though

well the one x and samsung galaxy s3 will have different SOCs in different regions, but who knows, I just hope it has the 8960

if your asking by what i said. no. it would mean that the first version out would use an underclocked 8960 and then when the 8930 becomes available to HTC in q2 2012 they could start putting that in there instead of the 8960 underclocked.
of course this is just pure speculation

It's always better to wait 3-4 months after a phone is released to buy it IMO.

I agree with that in that the bugs are more worked out, although I think you get the maximum value out of a lot of products if you get it at launch.

If I wait a few months and still have it for the same 2 years and get to pay $50-$100 less for it, how is buying it at launch a better value? Aside from bragging rights (no one I know cares what phone I have), being a guinea pig (working out bugs and fixes), and learning how to maximize battery life? By waiting I save money, get a phone that has been field tested and have a website full of tips and tricks. I want my new phone setup quick and usable. I'm not a tweaker that endlessly changes things. My og Dinc hasn't changed since after the first month I got it.

Technology has a very short lifespan before it is replaced and obsoleted. Buying early in the life cycle maximizes it's "life".
I agree that waiting a bit to let others work out the kinks is seen as beneficial by some....just not by me.

Exactly what I meant.

The "lifespan" of technology? Is it really obsolete if it still meets your needs? If having the latest and greatest phone is what you want, more power to you, but lets be honest about. It's a want, not a need. Nothing is obsolete until it fails to meet your needs. Don't fall for all the hype that is designed simply to sell you more stuff.

This. The OG Dinc will continue to function for some people as long as there are apps available that will run on GB.
If you have a HH Gregg nearby, the Rezound is at $149.99. If you have been on the fence over this Inc 4g like I have, it doesn't seem to be a ' gotta have it phone ' for me , so Best Buy price matched plus the $50 gift card deal I'm at $100 for the Rezound. I hope vzw gets their act together on the 4 real quick, sounds like alot of people aren't as impressed as they had hoped and are jumping ship. Hope the Rez works out as I expect...or it's back to smoke signals for me ! HOW.
