The phones aren't for Neanderthals… most humans spend the better part of their day in cave-like "buildings." (sorry for the big words)

Ok.. i have a question here for the incredible droid owners…
I have the droid x… i like everything about it, exept the size…… so i was thinking of switching to incredible droid… the only thing that makes me concerned though is the battery life… i get to charge my droid x everyday when i go to sleep… (which i'm not used to yet).. but anyway, i heard that the incredable had a more poor battery life.. the question is… how poor??? do i need to charge it once a day if i used it for phone calls that day only?? or do i need to charge it twice or maybe three times too???
second question.. i noticed that when i'm during a call, i can't surf the net… is there a way i can do that during a call??
thank u all for ur time..
sara.

It was a small typo. You can't even capitalize "Incredible", so how can you criticize his grammar/spelling? Also, everything he said is entirely true.

the droid incredible has a better battery life the droid, the droid has a bad battery life and dies faster, so in my case the droid incredible is the best thing to get no matter what

Some of the people on here are idiots. LED is superior to LCD. (PERIOD) That is why OLED came out after LCD, and cost more, and took a long time to go from a small little screen on a PDA to a flat screen TV. Now most of the flat screen TV's are LED. It is replacing LCD and Plasma, because it is a better technology. It is literally the advancement in screen technology to move up from LCD screens. So how the hell does anyone claim that LCD is better, it's simply not better, in one technology vs the other the LED is the superior technology. That's like saying a 28.8kbps modem is better than an 802.11n wifi connection. It's just simply not, the statement is completely backwards.

You can't even spell incredible so how can you talk about it.

I'm due for a new phone. My Crackberry is due for a new every 2 years; this month. The Blackberry curve doesn't do what I need in a phone. I have been leaning towards either the Incredible or the Droid. Researching & found this article & all the comments. Now I'm completely confused on which one to buy.

I talked with 4 different tech support people from level 1 to level 3 and nobody heard of this problem, I found that very odd.The proximity sensor does not work properly, so when the screen is suppose to be off, its not and your face will either mute the phone or change screens.

I have the Droid, and I have trouble texting with the keypad, its awkward! Im not doing much better with the touch screen since I had a Blackberry curve. I have had it a week, and seriously considering taking it back to get the Incredible. Thoughts?

I think people also have to take into consideration the call quality, since it's primary function is a phone. In which case the winner is the Motorola Droid. We've had numerous customers that have switched from a Motorola Droid to a HTC Incredible complain that the call quality is inferior.

I'm using the Moto Droid right now here are my opinions:Key board: to me, it's a useless feature, and somewhat confusing if i'm trying to type special characters. I would gladly have it with just a soft keyboard if I could. I also feel it wiggling around when i'm just holding the phone, and I don't much like that either. Battery Life & Charging: when using it as a GPS with Google maps for navigation, it works great, the turn by turn has been spot on….. This does however DRAIN the battery – make sure when using these features you have it plugged in. On that note, it still seems to drain the battery faster than it can be charged (which is odd) I drained the battery down all the way, and it wouldn't stay on while charging – I had to completely turn it off, let it charge for a while, then try to turn it on. IT does take quite a long time to fully charge as well…. I'm charging it off of my laptop right now, and with it turned off, it's only gone from 20% to 70% in 2+ hours. The google connect feature: not all that usefull – my work e-mail and calendar are on an exchange server, which has everything I need, if I didn't have that, the google feature might be more enticing. Contact aggregation: It pulled my contacts from exchange, gmail, twitter, facebok, etc. This is great. I was able to have this phone up and running in about 20 minutes – with all of my contacts ready to go.IM/Chat/talk/text: It would be nice if the “instant messaging” features were all aggregated into one app, instead i have both messaging and talk – why both?Coverage/Call quality: In LAX, everything has been great, no dropped calls, and good 3G coverage. All in all, fairly impressive.Apps: the app store, in my opinion, is about as good as apple's, but I've only accessed it from the phone, haven't tried online at all. With all of this in mind – I'm seriously considering the Nexus One, Incredible, and iPhone HD (when it comes out this summer) for my next phone upgrade.

does the incredible have actual buttons for back, menu, home, search or the screen press like the droid? I can't stand the virtual buttons and would switch just to get real buttons for no-look pressing while in the car.

Just a couple of comments. I have a Moto Droid. Love it, except for the flat physical keyboard (seriously, that was the best they could come up with?) and the random muting it does during phone calls (this is a well-documented issue that hasn't been addressed by Motorola yet). Got my hands on an Incredible at a Verizon store. It is much lighter than the Droid since it doesn't have the keyboard and the casing is entirely made of plastic. It had a cheap feel in my hand because of that. I think the metal case on my Droid has made it a little stronger.

Yes you can do wi-fi tethering. You must have a rooted OS with a ROM that supports it.http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

Got my Incredible yesterday morning. Its a pretty nice phone. There are somethings I like better than on the Droid but all in all I like the Incredible better. Its camera is far better in low light due to the dual flash. The camera does hang up a bit when taking pics fast and not waiting beteween shots. Also the car dock is not rotating into landscape. Navigation maps will but not the main car doc screen. Battery life seems to compare to the Droid. I left it running all night playing music and it still had 16% left after 8 hours.

No talk of the HTC Evo 4G? It has better specs than either phone and is the first 4G capable in the US. Evo is a monster!

You install a ROM with that capability.

I am a current Motorola Droid owner that will soon be switching to the HTC Droid Incredible. I have had my Droid since 11/28/09 so i am no newbie to the Android system. Looking forward to the Incredible being in my hands on the 29th. Also check out http://www.HTC-Incredible.com a dedicated place for Incredible owners.

HTC by far will have the better keyboard (querty keyboards make phones way to bulky) and memory. Why people bring up battery life is beyond me. I have had many phones and smartphones and hve never found one with decent battery life, especially smartphones. I currently am using a 32GB 3gs iPhone and a Droid Eris. I will be replacing my Eris with the incredible. I believe the incredible will bne the first phone to beat the iPhone in all areas. Until Thursday there is nothing on the market that can do what the iPhone can as well asit does. The only problem with iPhone is the carrier. That said I am looking forward to getting the incredible as I said earlier I don't believe any phone will be able to compete with it ( it will be in a class by itself). I'm sure there will be some issues as all phones do. Only question I have is will support up to a 32gb micro sd card or 16 gb like the owners manual states?

jay Kresge: could you comment further on how to format the 32gb card. I preordered the inicredible and havent bought a card yet. Icant figure out if I should buy the 16gb or 32gb or the SD or the SDHC.Oviously I want the 32 gb sdhc since it is bigger and faster , but only if the incredible can actually use it. no sense in wasting money.

Have you tried to tether wirelessly? ie, can you use the Android device as a wireless bridge between a laptop with Wi-Fi and a router with Wi-Fi, or does the connection to the laptop have to be wired? Thanks!

Hi..What about CALL QUALITY?..reviews suggest that the HTC wins as well…BUT..what about the noise reduction mic that the Moto Droid has…does that make a diff?…I hate it when I speak to someone and their phone pushes all the background sounds around them through..makes it impossible to talk to them?? Thanks

By: Paul

Paul — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 11:01:31 +0000

sure does….and don't be fooled into paying more for it either. I can't remember the name of the app my wife uses on her droid, but once you pay the few bucks for the app, tethering from there on is free using the unlimited mobile data. VZ has never said anything about all the data she uses since she got the phone when Moto Droid first came out.
