My personal opinion: Droid vs. Incredible

I went to the VZW store today and played with the Incredible for a while. It's an awesome device with many great features. That being said...
I don't think that it's that much,if any, better than a rooted and OC'd Droid. Of course it is very similar like all Android devices.

Some of the pros:
1.) Sense is nice
2.) It's a very lightweight phone
3.) It's attractive.
4.) The trackpad is cool.
5.) It has several HTC unique features/apps.
6.) It's super fast out of the box.

Some of the cons:
1.) The camera did't cut it for me. It is pretty much a remake of the iPhone camera. The pics turned out washed out (worse than the Droid when compared side by side but might be due to the screen).
2.) The screen is not as vibrant as the Droid.
3.) The phone feels very plasticy and doesn't feel durable. It almost feels hollow.
4.) The glass screen already had scratches on it when the Droid sitting next to it was still scratch-free and has been there much longer.
5.) The lack of a physical keyboard is a bummer. I don't use mine much but I quickly realized how valuable it is (for ex: typing this post).
6.) The lack of a physical camera button with focus sucks.
7.) The charger port was already very loose and floppy.

Don't get me wrong, it's still an awesome device, but I'm not sure it is a MotoDroid killer (knowing what the MotoDroid is capable of after root). Stock vs. Stock, the Incredible definitely has it beat. The camera, screen, and build of the device are a bit dissappointing to me. Preference of features would rule in a decision between the two. I'll put it this way... I'm not going to go out and pay full retail to get one to replace my Droid. It would actually be a hard decision if I were in the position to choose between them with an upgrade. Just my .02.
