Re: Incredible - incredible let down.

Wow - I have to say I disagree. I got the Incredible for my wife - she has no interest in toying/customizing the phone or generally spending the inordinate amount of time I do playing with my Imagio. But she does want a smartphone with a quick and easy way to get cool apps.

So anyway, we have not activated her phone yet, and she's out of town for a long weekend, so I'm just playing with it using WiFi, and I will say, it is definitely "snappy". And webpages load lightning fast - faster than my Imagio. Again, haven't tried it over 3g, but on WiFi, it is fast. The browser is great, the touchscreen responsiveness is fantastic, and the phone is pretty customizable just using Sense.

The only thing I'm afraid she won't like is the keyboard - she's coming from a Blackberry (she had for her old job), so she likes buttons. The speech to text actually seems to work pretty well (and voice search for Google works great and quick), but I even had some trouble editing text when speech to text had errors. May just take some getting used to.

If I didn't want to spend the time I do on my Imagio, I'd definitely consider the Incredible for myself. (She's got 28 days to decide if it's OK for her.) Just my 2 cents...
