what's going on everyone jon rettinger from technobuffalo here if you're a geek like me if you're watching this video there's a good chance you are you love flagship smartphones the few devices that are released each year that pushed their respective platforms and carriers to another level and are really loaded with all the hottest new technology well we got the announcement of another one today a much long rumored and much-hyped phone dubbed officially the droid incredible a new smartphone running android 2.1 for Verizon Wireless let's go run through the specs because that's really what separates this handset from the rest of the pack so it is running HTC's custom sense interface if you've seen it I demonstrated actually on the nexus one on a custom rom and Brendan demonstrated actually earlier in the day on the HTC Desire it's a really impressive skin on top of android 2.1 and really adds a ton of new features for instance it adds something called leap view which essentially a pinch and zoom to access all your windows I believe you get access to seven home screens I really can customize the device quite a bit HTC also added something called french stream which actually unifies all of your social networks from Facebook Flickr Twitter all into one very similar to what Motorola has done with their motoblur interface it's got an eight megapixel camera that is not a mistake an 8 megapixel camera with dual-led flash it's got a 3.7 inch wvga screen which means 480 across and 800 down which is also amylin amo led of course capacitive those you guys might be wondering what AMOLED or wvga or any of those numbers I just went over means the mls screams means you're going to get much much much darker blacks and much brighter colors actually use less power the resolution that I mentioned is extremely high so that means you're actually going to be getting much crisper fonts you're going to get really bright you're looking icons and things that just look a little bit clearer and they also make the font look a bit smaller but you're just going to get sort of a clear overall shirt it features an optical joystick so no more track balls to be a thing in the past it's got a proximity sensor a light sensor digital compass of course all the other standard smartphone features including GPS Wi-Fi a 3.5 millimeter headset jack so the big question is when can you get your hands on one especially if you're a Verizon Wireless customer looking to make a switch over to verizon of pre-orders are going to begin on April nineteenth and they will be shipped and fulfilled and in stores on April 29th a price is going to be 1 99 99 after a hundred dollar manufacture mail-in rebate this phone is really the nexus one with HTC Sense and a much much better camera so if you're waiting for a verizon nexus one to come out this may actually be a better bet for you I'm a big fan of the sense interface I like Android as a whole but sense really takes it to a next level and add sort of a more custom flair to it adds a little bit more 3d graphics makes it feel a bit more polished you're going to get all the good 2.1 features including pinch-to-zoom sort of 3d trays and all kinds of other fun stuff you see me demonstrate in previous videos I'm very excited to get my hands on the HTC incredible looks to be a fantastic device that is really what verizon users have been waiting for certainly there's been versions of the nexus one out now for t-mobile and for 18 TV you can buy directly from google's website but the verizon version we've been waiting on and now it looks like it's becoming relevant before it even launched because of the incredible sort of boasts it and beats it in the megapixel and user interface Department sorry guys excited about incredible I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on it like I said I think it's going to be a fantastic phone for verizon wireless you guys curious what you have to say leave comments down below or bigger responses whenever you like i'm jon rettinger from technobuffalo and i see in the next video buh-bye
