Incredible hype/posts vs Incredible 2 hype/posts - WOW

+1 to that.


last year was a HUGE year for Android phones being released. Remember all of the media hype with the Inc and the DroidX especially? The commercials for the DroidX looked like a scene from a movie. I don't see any of that happening this year at all. Which kind of sux imo cause i enjoyed the great media hype from last year.
 
also the Inc1 was a first in many aspects. 1ghz processor , great cam, great screen. So with the Inc2 just barely being a few upgrades from that. Well that probably explains the lack of media flare.
 
This seems more like an Incredible 1.5, since not much of a chipset upgrade and less internal media strorage. Actually, there is no internal media storage in the Inc 2.

No 4G either... This is the Incredible 1.25

This device missed its calling, about six months ago.
 
soooo....

a bigger screen
global
ffc
NEW snapdragon processor...this is not the same as the one in the inc
768mb of ram
bigger battery
and maybe 2.3 at launch if not soon after

makes this barely an upgrade?
 
4GB of on-board memory, Android 2.3 with Sense

also it should be an updated version of sense than what is on the Dinc1 which we all know is a plus because HTC doesn't upgrade versions of Sense on devices. They keep what they're born with.
 
well for some that would make sense. Personally i don't think you'll see full 4g potential for another year. At least where i live we're not on schedule to even get it until the end of this year. Doesn't really matter cause i'll be buying this at full retail if i get it so it won't mess up my upgrade cycle any.
 
Yep, 4g is sucky for battery and why best used when needed, in spite of what some delusional TB fanboys say that they get ten plus hours with "heavy" use. Bless em'.
 
Good points.

4g might be a good time to jump in though since we'd be grandfathered at $30 a month.

These "barely and upgrade" type of comments are annoyingly ridiculous. You will not likely see leaps and bounds being made for a successive phone. And you are not going to see a company release two phones that are the same on the same network.

Thanks for all the info. Where did you read about the 4gig inboard memory? If that's true, that will be my next phone.

Beeray
 
I would probably pick this over the TB but I'm not rushing to get INC2 either. If there's a delay with the LG Revo than at least I have the INC2 as another option.

^plus one. I guess some people just want a TB but for it to be called an Inc?.....lol

Nope, due to the chipset, the TB is a mid level phone too. VZW happily pushes these mid level, premium price devices and folks buy them in droves. It will become a point that VZW will stop selling premium Android devices and just have the iPhone as their premium device (Why invest in premium devices if their customers happily buy the mid level stuff?). It could be that VZW has no choice, since they probably are drained from the Apple deal.

Seems VZW is vested too much on Apple now and Android devices will be mainly mid level hardware, but marketed as premium devices. Curse VZW and their great data coverage! ;)

Let us see so far on the premium priced devices with VZW besides the Inc 2:

1. Thunderbolt: Battery hog with 4gb of storage crippled
2. Charge: Already getting bad reports on battery and has a year old chipset (though still better than the 8655 in the Inc 2, TB, X Play and Rev).
3. Bionic: Steve Austin needs about a four month rebuild
4. X Play: 380mb of device storage space- now THAT is retro
5. LG Rev: Though the same single core as the others (sans Bionic), at least it has some things going for it over the others: IPS display, HDMI, dedicated video decoding chip and 16gb internal storage and microsd. It also has Netflix and Netflix controls mobile devices via the device model, so no Netlfix unless the OEM pays for the privilege. Inc 2 owners, enjoy Blockbuster ;)

BTW, I am mainly having fun, since this stuff is just pieces of metal, plastic and sand. I still use an Inc I, so anything is step up from that 150mb data/data file constrained device. "Low on space" is a very common warning for a lot of Inc users.

Sadly, no joke about Netlfix, since even if with an account, the mobile device must be on the "list" of devices to stream from Neflix servers. Well, there is Play On (not as convenient, but an option).

I agree that the Inc 2 would be a better option than the TB, but the LG Rev may be the best bet. If you can wait, might be worth holding out a few more weeks.
