It was all over but the press release. For weeks now we’ve seen information about the HTC Incredible — now officially the Verizon Droid Incredible — pour out of the woodwork. And now, it’s real.
For all intents and purposes, what we’re looking at is the HTC Desire with Verizon branding. Same 3.7-inch 480×800-pixel AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, same HTC Sense user interface, same trackpad instead of a trackball. Same 1GHz Snapdragon processor. The camera’s been upped to 8 megapixels, and there are 8 gigabytes of internal memory for music, photos and video.
But what about the Verizon Nexus One? Make no mistake, this is not it. The Nexus One is Google’s baby. The Droid Incredible is Verizon’s. And at this point, it’s poised to do major battle with Sprint’s Evo 4G come summertime. The Incredible will arrive first, slated for preorders on April 19 (that’s Monday) and will be in stores on April 29. Pricing is set at $199 after two-year contract and a $100 rebate.
We’ll have plenty more coverage of the Verizon Droid Incredible as we near launch. In the meantime, check out the full presser and specs after the break. And in the meantime, head into our Droid Incredible forums to chat your little heads off.
