Droid Incredible

Droid Incredible Customer Review…

By: Z. Shaikh “zahid-java”

 

Its ideal android phone in VZ

Cons:
It does not have front camera(eg video chat) or HDMI port or inbuilt wifirouter(mobile broadband) as compared to upcoming sprint HTC EVO phone. (but verizon supposedly suppports tethering at around 15$ to 30$ per month . However some one suggested in the comments to try pdanet)

I does not have hardware keyboard – unlike motorolla droid.(but that would have made it bulkier )

I believe there is no automatic blue tooth dialing- per early reviews.(though it has support
for blue tooth itself)

Camcorder voice calibre is bad(video is ok).

Its simple for thumb nails/dust to sticks easily on to screen(hence screen protector is highly recommended)

There is No lens cover for camera. (so you might have to purchase holder etc)

It does not have good battery life .(But since its extractable – you can purchase extra)

PROS:
It has fastest processor(for mobile) yet.. (but just like in netbooks vs laptop
it might mean good response time vs battery time)

It uses the latest android version 2.1( hopefully they should update it to upcoming 2.2
which would give it superior battery life due to JIT compiler)..

It has inbuilt beta GPS(works even when you talk), FM Radio, awesome camera,
decent camcorder and extractable battery!

It can be plugged to television – per some youtube previews(I could not find that USB to composite video accessory

– but since it has only 1 USB output- you will not be healthy to charge it while viewing the video)

Android has cool voice search facility.(though not accurate – but works for common words)

The Phone/Voice calibre is decent/good. (as compared with mortorolla droid)

The size and weight is perfect for putting in shirt pocket.

The screen is awesome – and I enjoyed watching youtube videos on it..(but it might be hard to see in daylight)

Conclusion: I was impressed with the screen clearity- and I comprehend that newer phones will have superior
specs.. But its currently the ideal phone (for any carrier) . I would have liked extractable hardware keyboard.

PS: I had done pre-order – and hence I had to pay 200$ – but I did not have to pay activation fee ..
