So, my windows/home button broke on my less then 30 day old imagio.

And i can get a new imagio from the store tomorrow when i go there. OR! I can get an incredible at no extra cost.

So i was asking you wise people here a PPC geeks, which one should i get?

I would think through this decision more, the Incredible runs Android, and frankly if you're not a Google fan or user, it's not going to be the thing for you. Windows Mobile is the most powerful mobile OS, hence why it can be slow or freeze up, but if the time is spent on getting it the way you want it to be, it's can definately fly, even on the 528MHz processor. Android is fast, frankly, because it's more simple.

It does boil down to your needs though, and I need more of a "pocket PC" than phone connectivity (heck, my Imagio isn't even active, pulled it off the account because I don't want to pay $30/mo for data, something I would have little need for). Once the new item factor wears off, it's really not going to be that "incredible" anymore. Several months or a year down the line, would you be still be happy with it? That's the key.

My bro is getting the incredible, and i have the imagio. I am very happy with my phone, and the flexibility of cooked roms, etc. I think he will be happy with his phone as well, though I am sure I will be getting tons of phone calls to support him.

I don't have the issues of daily reboots... I rarely reboot my phone, as it is very stable. Energy rom, winmo7 theme for SPBMS....sweet!

The Imagio is a fantastic phone, but it will be obsolete before the Incredible will.

I am happy with my imagio (minus the button of course..)
As for uses, For me it is a Pocket PC. It's a work phone, I use GPS, Bing, Internet, Conferencing, not many apps though.. Shame i can't find any useful ones..

Besides bing i think i can get them all for Android. Although i do like Bing a lot. I'm sure Android has an alternitive. Thankfully i have two weeks to try it, I can go back to my Imagio is i choose to do so by then

One issue to consider is travel. If you travel outside the US you will need the Imagio as it is a world phone. The Incredible isn't.

Incredible battery life is dreadful.

Both the Imagio and Incredible are on borrowed time and have shoddy HTC quality. Just when you get it geeked/tweaked, screen protector on & running you need to get a replacement.

For Verizon, i'd go for the LG Fathom today on a 1-year contract for Bing Maps alone and WM6.5.3 without dealing with flaky Roms and 2-year deals.

i'd go with the LG

They really are very close and comes down to personaly preferance mroe than one clearly better than the other. I have na Imagio and my coworker the Incredible and they are comparable depending on what you need. Especially if you run Exchange, there are some WinMo benefits, though the other syncs most everything. However ass cell phones go by the end of this year there will be the next round of "better phones". So just jump in and pick one, it'll be outdated in no time, no matter which one you pick.

OK, I been a WinMo lifer but I have to say I think it is time. After reading about WM7 being feature incomplete on first release I think it is time to jump ship to Incredible or Droid X since the opportunity to get a new phone has come to me. Very sad.

Another one bites the dust...
