The cost of this phone is $199.99 (after a $100 mail-in rebate) with a new two-year contract. If you are Verizon users then just stop waiting in futile for Google to bring its Nexus One smartphone over to the carrier, because Verizon will soon introduce its Droid Incredible mobile by HTC which is best in many ways. One of the best features of the Droid Incredible is “topographic” design that exhibits the powerful engineering just beneath the surface.

Droid Incredible by HTC is formed with craftsmanship and accuracy which make easy to stay connected. It contains the newest version of the HTC Sense experience, a seven-panel home screen with a wide selection of interactive widgets; by these features the most important content is immediately available at a touch. With over 30,000 Google applications and Exchange ActiveSync, Customers will enjoy quick and easy access to Flickr for sharing and viewing pictures, video, and Android Market.

The first Verizon Wireless phone, Droid Incredible by HTC, includes Qualcomm’s 1GHz superfast Snapdragon processor and 8 megapixel camera. Customers will be able to enjoy two of the newest exclusive apps from Verizon Wireless i.e. NFL Mobile and Skype mobile™ shortly after the phone becomes available in the market. The basic features of the Incredible are as same as Nexus One. It contains 1 gigahertz SnapDragon processor (nearly twice as fast as the Motorola Droid’s 550 MHz processor) which helps to create graphics, heavy games or other intensive apps. It also runs newest version of the Android operating system, 2.1.

Hardware:

With a lot of that masculine edge, the Incredible looks like a modern, classy smartphone. Around the camera lens and on the ear-piece, HTC has added some delicate red highlights on the phone which is beyond the racing flair. On the left-hand side, there is a sleep / power button and on right side, a standard headphone is located and there is also volume rocker and Micro USB connector along the left side. On the recent crop of Android devices, there is no mute switch. You will find big, beautiful WVGA display, four touch-sensitive hard buttons, plus an optical track-pad standing in for the typical trackball on the front of the device.

Display:

The display of Incredible was very evocative that shuld come with as no excitement while the touch response seemed notably better here, like a software issue. Particular Reds and oranges look devastatingly soaked here. The visibility of the screen was terrible in bright daylight just as the Nexus One. HTC continuously uses this same display, though this screen is quiet impressive, but everyone wants some changes.

Camera:

One of the big selling points of the Incredible is Camera. The camera of the Droid Incredible comes with 8 megapixels highest resolution smartphone in the market. This camera takes stunning photos especially in daylight settings. The shutter speed is quite fast. This camera is dissimilar from other HTC cameras. You can take pictures by using the track-pad button or an onscreen trigger whichever option you like. The Incredible also has quite high resolution video up to 800 x 480.

Sound quality / speakerphone:

Incredible is considered as a best sound phone. The earphone on this device is loud and plain, while the speakerphone is excellent for both conversations and video / audio playback. These solid speakers can be used for conference callers.

Storage:

Incredible has storage capacity of 8GB in internal storage and a MicroSD slot which can handle an additional storage capacity of 32GB. HTC has some problems with hardwired option for content storage. Currently, many apps are available in the Android Market for offloading data but they are not able to see the internal storage. This is the negative point of Incredible’s storage.

Network / Battery life:

Normally, Verizon's network was outstanding. The life of battery is good but not outstanding. It picked up enough data to auto-update time and location.
