HTC EVO 4G, HTC Incredible Droid, HTC HD2

[WhiteBlazer01]

I'm on Verizon with the TP2, and swore I would never give up the AWESOME hardware keyboard, but adaption is key to survival, right? Anyways, I am almost ready to get the Incredible, which is awesome. If it only had a 4.3" screen! My bro has the HD2, and every time I look at it, I saw wow. It's one thing to see it in pics on the internet, but if you see it in person, you really get a sense of it's greatness.

So I've decided I'm not getting the HD2 for lack of T-Mobile service (I have a post on XDA regarding T-Mobile coverage). So now I'm debating between the EVO and Incredible. The Incredible has the awesome AMOLED screen, which is, well, awesome. But the EVO has a 4.3" screen, front camera, and 4G. They both have video out capabilities, but EVO has 720p video capture and HDMI video out (Incredible has composite).

My concern is I live in Southern California, and I guess Los Angeles is not a big enough city for Sprint to bring 4G to just yet. So video conferencing will be useless, as will 4G. But with the front camera, is that more just a cool thing to have, or will it actually be functional? Who else can I video conference with? Nobody else will have it. So it seems pointless until later this year when more people get it (but I don't know any other phones that will have it except iPhone 4.0, but that's not coming out anytime soon). Then that leaves the 4G. I can't use it! Yes, I do travel occasionally, but not often, and I don't go to Texas (though I'd like to, I have a good friend there).

So that leaves just the 4.3" screen advantage. Is it worth it? Well, I'm still considering it, so I guess so. But 4.3" TFT vs 3.7" AMOLED. Can't decide.

In another comparison, what's the deal with memory? I'm reading mixed info on memory in each phone. I heard 8GB, I heard 1GB, I hear 748MB... Not sure about the specs.

Oh! Also, a little rant about accessories. The HD2 came with a 16GB Micro SD card, and nice headphones, and rubber phone protector, and other stuff. The unboxing of the Incredible is so disappointing! USB wall charger and cable? That's it? Come on Verizon, WTF?

Anyways, I'll be thinking about it this week. Let's hear some more feedback from everyone. This is good.

I hear you WhiteBlazer!
My wife does'nt want to leave Verizon, so for now I finally ordered my HTC Incredible Droid and will be bummed when Sprint puts out the EVO. The 4.3 screen is awesome, darn wish they had put it out before the May, 12th party. Still hearing rumors it will be out June 6th or 13th!

I am sure you will like EVO. The said thing for me is Arizona is not on the list of 27 cities choosen. Even though we are ranked 5th biggest state currently, so really for the next year or 2 4G feature will not be used, so it would be wise for me to get the HTC Incredible Droid and get use to the change from mo to andriod os. Have started checking
out the roms, skins, icons, applications etc.....

Will go from unlocking my phone to rooting my phone lol!

So good luck I am exciting about getting my new phone next week, hopefully before the 29th, fingers crossed. It won't be the EVO 4.3 but will have fun with it until Verizon puts out a 4.3 Android,,, you know how it goes a month after getting my Incredible the will release another one and I have a two year contract! : (

Thanks Dr.8820 for the input!

I have been ppc6800 > TP > TP2 > Incredible Droid was hoping Verizon put out a 4.3 or Sprint would have released the EVO : (
