Incredibly Bad

Amazing phone...allowed me to ditch my Palm Pilot and GPS nav unit. Couldn't be happier with the performance. It has exceeded my expectations so far (I've had mine since launch day).
 
I absolutely love this phone. My Mom who I also talked into this phone sent me a text not to long ago telling me "My phone is working out quite nicely. I do have fat fingers though". I have to say it must be hard for all women on touch screens when they have there nails long.

The people that say the android phones are for the advanced user is a **** and think to highly of themselves. I did have to set-up her email for her as she has never done it before and had to use pop3 settings.

I love this phone sooooo much. I just wish I had more money for neato accessories.
 
Problems...hmmm....I haven't had enough time to learn it well, and I have a bunch of old phones I don't know what to do with :)

Seriously, I've had Dolphin lock the phone up hard once. My only other minor nitpick is that the screen doesn't always know when to come back on after I remove the phone from my ear. Otherwise it's fast, has a 100x better UI than WinMo (but apps galore anyway), great screen, better sound quality and about equivalent reception to my last, much less powerful phone, yet still small enough to be pocketable. I'm actually entertaining taking trips without a laptop; it's that good.

I just hope that if HTC and Verizon abandon it, they open the hardware docs so we can continue to port newer Android versions to it.
 
I pre-ordered the phone and received it on April 28. I've had no major problems here. Call quality and signal are light years better than my old Palm Treo. The only minor complaints are viewing the screen in full sunlight and stock battery. I've solved the battery issue by purchasing a Seidio retractable usb charger which I carry in my pocket.
 
I f*cking love the Incredible.

I've had 0 issues with it, and since I've learned to keep watch of programs (and kill them) causing the phone not to sleep properly, I've been able to manage the battery pretty well too. Of course, like everyone else, better battery life would be great, but now I can pretty much make it through every day without having to charge it until I go to sleep. And I text/surf/etc pretty heavily.

My current complaint is rooting the damn thing... tried for 3 hours last night with no success, lol.

Going to try again soon.

<EDIT>Oh and my Incredible was from the very first pre-order batch. Ordered it the morning that it went on sale for pre-order

I think any board you go onto is going to have mostly problems , most people will only post when they are having an issue so it makes it look like eve

Exactly. This forum is hardly representative of the hundreds of thousands of Incredible owners. For every person that is a member of this forum, there are likely 1000 Inc owners that don't even know it exists. Why? Because, for the most part, people don't usually search forums like this out unless they are having problems.

Honestly (and I've been through a LOT of new phone launches) the problem ratio for the Inc is about par with any other new device post-launch. No better, no worse. It's the nature of the beast. And it's not as high of a ratio as people here make it out to be.

Except the fact that both HTC and VZW both acknowledge a problem that they are getting a lot of complaints about- the call quality being poor for a lot of people. The VZW corp rep for the company I work at also confirms the problem.

Have you all not considered that perhaps you all are the minority and more are having the problem than not? None the less, congrats for having no problems :)

I would be in the same happy boat, were it not for the call quality, while listening to calls. VZW says HTC are working on a software fix, so keeping fingers crossed.



"Beer", it's what's for dinner.
 
I wasn't even particularly interested in getting a smartphone. I was relatively happy with my PCs and my regular old "feature" phone which was a Motorola Razor II. I did very little texting because I just have an aversion to hitting the same key like 3 times to get one letter. My girlfriend and my son talked me into getting this phone along with them and now I'm a total android-incrediaddict. I love this phone. I've not had any problems to speak of. Just trying to patiently wait for froyo because of new features that I really do want. The title of this thread is sort of misleading in a way but I'm glad it is here.

Same here. I would love to root but not sure what I will gain or possibly ruin my happiness with the phone.

I have had a few freezes but I associate them with the app not the phone.

I have since ditched my PDA and don't plan on getting a GPS.
I am however keeping my nook. I do read the news just can't picture myself reading books on my phone.
 
I got the phone on release day from a Verizon store. 1st in line in my small town though they sold out the next day. My wife got one too. Hers rebooted a couple of times the first week. Now is rock solid. No problems whatsoever with mine. Even the stock battery works for me. I just bought a usb cable for work and have a car charger. Really not an issue the way I live.

I've had mine since day 1. Zero issues and it does everything I can dream of, especially now that it's rooted. I seriouslly will have this phone for another 2 years.
