If you are one of the many customers waiting for the Droid Incredible to ship from Verizon you might find comfort in the fact that Verizon is sending you an apology letter and a twenty five dollar gift card. But what should make you even happier is the over the air update that should release soon.
If you haven’t been keeping up with the Droid Incredible saga, let me fill you in real quick. So Verizon launched a most Incredible HTC device a few months back. The Incredible sports a Samsung AMOLED screen which by all means is not the easiest thing to manufacture in high numbers. So what this turned into was multiple Verizon customers looking for the next best thing, only to be put on a waiting list as the manufacturing process has delayed the phones availability. Verizon being the customer orientated company that they are, started to give these patiently waiting customers some options. After the official announcement of their new Motorola Droid X, Verizon let the Incredible waiting customers’ know, that if they would like to change their minds and pick up a Droid X they would be able to change their order at no extra cost. This by itself was a great option and a good decision on Verizon’s end as they are giving what most customers want, options (take notice Apple). It not quite clear as to how many Incredible waiting customers changed their order to a Droid X, but Verizon took it a step further to the ones who chose to wait. Issuing letters of apology about the delay and giving the list of customers a twenty five dollar Verizon gift card.
If you are an Incredible waiting Verizon customer, well then keep reading. Droid-Life reported today that the wait just might have been worth it, as an OTA (over the air) update for the Incredible will be available soon. The update will reportedly address some of the most common requests. With this update your Droid Incredible can now be used as a mobile hot spot, the camera will now record in 720p.

The Droid X by Motorola is the next android phone to hit Verizon on July 14th of 15th I can’t remember which one for sure! The thing is massive, it is bigger than the Evo. That being said it does have a lot of goodies inside of it myfi, 720hd video capture, you can even rent movies to watch on it cause it has a huge screen that and the hdmi port so you can also display the hd video in hd. I prefer the incredible at this point cause I like smaller and the processors are about the same speed from what I’ve seen. Now the Droid 2 by motorola will sport a 2 ghz processor which then will be the fastest but I don’t care for physical keyboards either so still leaning toward incredible. It all comes down to preference really. Not to mention you will just certainly have buyers remorse within 4-6 month anyway the way they are pumping out these smart phones. I heard htc will have their next android class device late this fall for Verizon. You just have to pic what you are happiest with at the time you can upgrade cause you will never have the latest and greatest for very long, and that is the point. they do this on purpose it’s called marketing so they get all the smart phone lovers to upgrade every year if not sooner. It’s all about revenue and screwing the consumer. END OF STORY

In my opinion size matters. I want a smaller phone. Which is smaller the incrediable or the Droid x?
[Reply]
Well I am on the motorola droid right now..and I think its to big. The incredible is much slender then the Motorola Droid. And you sound like you work for motorola. I b elieve the incrediable has mifi hotspot.

HTC is a mess in my opinion. They aren’t ready for the big time and should stick with smaller carriers where they can actually fufill orders. If you are sticking with Verizon then the Droid X is the way to go. A 4.3 inch screen, HD capable with built in MIFI Hotspot. What more do you need. Plus the OMAP 3630 processor made by TI is superior to the snapdragon processor in the Incredible. Motorola has proven that they are committed to lead in the smartphone industry and the Droid X won’t disappoint. As far as a Verizon Iphone in Jan. I seriously doubt it. I am not convinced this will ever come to be!!
