Full HTC Droid Incredible Review

Posted: Nov 20, 2010 |Comments: 0 | Views: 172 |

The HTC Droid Incredible is a super-sleek phone with less than a half-inch thick, yet it packs powerful components such as a 1 GHz processor, 8-megapixel camera, and a large high-resolution screen. The Droid Incredible provides easy access to all your social networks, websites, and thousands of applications, including Google Navigation with turn-by-turn directions.

The eight megapixel camera puts the HTC Droid Incredible in the same category as a lot of very expensive handheld cameras.  It would far outstrip the three megapixel camera of the Apple iPhone and the two megapixel camera of the Blackberry Bold.

It takes beautiful pictures and has a descent camcorder for a phone. You can upgrade the memory card from 8 to 16 gigs. 

The HTC DROID Incredible ships with the battery, AC adapter, and USB cable (which doubles as the power cord).  Though it's not included on the box, Verizon has been offering a 2 GB microSD card for free with purchase; as it stands, there's no word on when the promotion ends.  Measuring in at 4.60 inches tall by 2.30 inches wide by 0.47 inch thick, and weighing 4.6 ounces, it's small enough to stow in a bag, pocket, or cup holder.  The 3.7-inch AMOLED screen is is one of the most gorgeous displays I've ever seen on a cell phone.

The HTC DROID Incredible runs the Google Android 2.1 operating system with HTC Sense 2.5 built on top of it.   The user will be walked through a setup wizard that helps to easily setup the device and understand how the keyboard works with preferred internet connection (network and/or WiFi) selector, Gmail, POP/IMP, or Exchange email account setup, and social network (Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter) setup.

Other features and specification include:
