Say hello to Droid Incredible. It joins the Motorola Droid and HTC Droid Eris on Verizon Wireless. And it packs quite the punch: it’s powered by a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, features a 3.7 inch WVGA (480×800) AMOLED capacitive touch display, its got an 8 megapixel camera with dual LED flash, and it runs Android 2.1 with the latest HTC Sense overlay. Besides that, you’ll find the usual suspects like GPS, 3G, WiFi, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It goes on sale with VZW on April 29 for $199.99, after a $100 mail-in rebate and a 2-year agreement.
Essentially the Droid Incredible is an updated version of the Nexus One, a phone that is currently only available for T-Mobile (but it’s supposedly come to Verizon later this month). Its got the same processor but a better camera. The significant difference lies in the software. While both phones are 100% Android, the Droid Incredible’s got the HTC Sense UI built on top of it, allowing for a bit more UI customization. If you’re a VZW customer, the Droid Incredible just became the best Android phone to get; that’s of course if you don’t mind the lack of a physical keyboard. If that’s a necessity, the orignal Droid (which was recently upgraded to Android 2.1) is the one for you. Full PR after the break.
