This site is calling it the HTC Incredible HD. Not sure if this is a good name or not but I'm liking the looks of it and might wait for it to upgrade my D1.

I'm still hunting more information myself.

It sounds like an Evo for Verizon. I'm waiting for LTE before I get another phone.

To long of a wait. New smartphones with LTE won't be out till this time next year.

I was thinking about getting Droid X for its screen size, performance in processing and battery life, or Samsung Fascinated for it's GPU.
Now, looks like I will have to wait few more months to find out what this HTC android phone will come out equipped..

Exactly. But that phone looks a bit prettier then my Evo lol. Not enough to leave Sprint.

With my Verizon HTC TouchPro2 eligible for upgrade in October, this might be it's replacement. Anybody know of a firm release date yet?

blazingwolf 09-06-2010 07:38 AM

Re: New HTC android phone for Verizon
 
We barely know specs of this device. So right now there is no speculative release date let alone a firm one.

Looks interesting, too bad it's not just like the EVO, as it would have been nice to have more shared accessories..

I think verizon is over-doing it with the droids..lol At the rate they are going its gonna be like the great video game crash of the 80's..lol I understand choices.. but man... Im so sick of hey is that a droid!!! lol im like no thats a verizon thing. i have a android phone on sprint called the hero.. Oh well the droid is better.lol aaargggg....

Re: New HTC android phone for Verizon
 
I could not wait any longer.. so I am going with Droid X. :P
At least I will benefit the good battery life and big screen.

That HTC phone with a keyboard, what I know about is its rumored to have a 4inch screen (evo is 4.3), 1.2GHz cpu, and is a GSM/CDMA world phone.

No lie. Never expected Verizon to step it up like they have lately. It's nice to see them doing it though.

After looking at the shots of the new Desire HD I think I will be waiting for this phone assuming it is similar to the new Desire anyways. :)

I played with the Fascinate and the DINC today at the Verizon store. The sales rep had both phones in his possession and recommended the DINC. I like HTC phones but really liked the swipe feature on the Fascinate. My upgrade date is Oct 20th and I'm so ready to shit-can this TP2...

But my question is which would be a better phone for me? I use my phone for business and am on it for sometimes 3000 minutes a month. I have over 1500 contacts and use my calendar to keep track of my schedule. I also use the phone to read my email but not to send too much but that could change. I'm ready to give up my MS Outlook in place of Google mail.

So with the Fascinate being my likely choice with the DINC a close second, which one should I be looking at and what new droids are due out around the end of October?

Re: New HTC android phone for Verizon
 
I've been looking for about 6 weeks now. I was 2 on my new every 2 on Monday (9/13)...and I still can't make up my mind.
IMO...
DINC = fast, sense, perfect size, con: battery
DX = awesome screen, flat, fast, con: it's HUGE
D2 = very nice, has keyboard like my current TP, con: doesn't wow me

at lunch today...I checked out the Fascinate...and I have to say...I liked it. It's not a full Android, but I heard it can be rooted to become one. Don't know.

What to do?

Say what? Not full Android? How do you only have half Android? And if you mean Bing then Google Maps is a download and Google Search can be added back. Besides which it's not that big of a deal.

Motorola phones get better battery life than HTC phones. I'd go for the D2 if you do e-mail a lot.

Re: New HTC android phone for Verizon
 
What is all the BING hate about on the Android forums? I have the Imagio and have had both Google Maps and Bing for a long time (pretty much since I got the phone) and I actually prefer to use Bing over Google. I never had anything for or against Bing or Google, I kind of used both and really liked the ability that Bing has where I can hit the speach softkey and just tell it the name of a business or type of buisiness I want to locate and it searches and finds them under the LOCAL tab. Then I hit the button for navigate and it does all the work for me and provides free turn by turn. Overall, BING made me happy with how well it works no matter where I am. I find food, movies, motorcycle shops... anything I want or need with speach to text search in Bing.

I am looking at the Samsung because it is an Android and already has the search companion that I prefer to use anyways.... but the screen size of that Droid X is calling to me! Maybe I can get Bing on the X?

blazingwolf 09-24-2010 03:11 PM

Re: New HTC android phone for Verizon
 
The Bing hate is Google fanboys. Not sure why.

Yes, you can get Bing on the X. There is a Bing app in the market. :)

no they don't. do you know anybody with a droid x, they complain about battery more then we do. if you're worried about battery get a samsung.

^^^dunno about that. my droid x destroys the incredible i had in terms of battery life. but honestly battery life is mostly a really subjective thing though, just like cellular service, its gonna vary for everyone

EDIT: heres an article i found about: Android Battery Tests

if we aren't comparing the same roms then I agree, htc rom kills battery with the sense incorporated
