Gadgetory

does anybody remember the TV show that's incredible I'm probably dating myself here I probably not because you probably have no idea what I'm talking about it was so long ago but I don't know for some reason when I when I got the email from Verizon they were gonna send over the drug incredible - all I could think about was Fran Tarkenton being on that show but now it's not a TV show it's the Droid Incredible - is it incredible or is it just kind of mediocre because there's enough for G let's find out all right so the original droid incredible oh wait sorry hey what's up everybody i'm known from TechnoBuffalo the original Droid Incredible was honestly one of my favorite Android phones of its generation I guess of last year it was the phone that I always told friends of mine it was always the answer to the question hey I'm on Verizon but I really want an iPhone what should I do and my answer was always get a droid incredible or you know switch to AT&T nice phone now of course the answer to that question is get an iPhone can you're on Verizon but still did run incredible one of I think the old time I don't know one of my favorite Android phones like I said from the that original slew of Android phones so here's the successor I it will be available on April 28th from Verizon for 199.99 with a two-year agreement obviously made by HTC Android phone with with Android 2.2 HTC Sense it's got a 1 gigahertz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor in there and it's not a 4G phone it's it's 3g only so I'm not taking advantage of the new LTE network also in the Box you get the HTC AC charger port number 80 r6 32 5vw and the HTC micro HD micro USB cable part number oh there's a lot of parts there I don't think there's really part number so if you notice me something else and then you also get your manuals Master your device all that stuff and these nice little cornstarch bags that are so you go friendly so like the original incredible Android HTC Sense all that it's got a similar back with the texture to the Concorde Concorde the contoured back panel with you know the little levels kind of topographical and kind of a soft grip plastic back you've got two full two phones two cameras on this device though there's a front-facing camera now for video chat and self-portraits and all that good stuff and then of course the main camera on the back the main camera is an 8 megapixel deal with dual LED flash the front 1.3 megapixels and then you can do 720p HD video cab and the device supports DLNA so you can wirelessly share your fabulous home movies to DLNA equipped TVs and other stuff like all that Smart TV stuff we've been doing a lot of those things have DLNA or some some form of DLNA different companies different names for it anyway you've also got the 3G mobile hotspot service that can support up to 5 enabled devices and again 200 bucks on contracts so the the thunderbolt which is HTC's 4G phone and now the Droid Charge both there's both of those have a premium both those are I'm trying to say is Verizon LTE devices and both of those you're paying a little bit more for the four TV at the Droid Charge to $99.99 on contract of course it does come with a 32 gigabyte SD card as does the Thunderbolt for that matter anyway here's the phone itself and it seems to be pretty zippy from the get-go nice and responsive it's it's you know pretty thin its lightweight this the topographical back panel here the contoured thing kind of makes it feel thinner around the edges which is nice and when you're holding it you know it gives that feeling of being being thinner than it actually is in the bottom but even still not all that thick of a phone really you've got a four inch Super LCD display and on first glance it looks very nice it's going to the usually they ship with some sample photos no sample photos here all right well I'm gonna have to have to go onto the interwebs so loading Google right up a nice to see Verizon's and network gives me back an order after the LTE outage yesterday I actually I was trying to get online in San Francisco has at the app nation conference and I was trying to get online using the my Verizon LTE modem and let's go Kate Beckinsale and I could not get on even on 3G I could see the 3G network which just could not connect so lots of problems all over the country yesterday but anything seems to be back in order today so uh you know using using my photos to try to show off the capability to display not really good idea but there are any photos in here so we'll see if they have any any videos it is interesting usually you see usually they ship with some some sample stuff not on this one apparently we're gonna need for speed shift maybe that'll that'll show off the display oh I have to download exit alright nevermind welcome back welcome back with a full review and that's when we're really really check out the the screen capabilities this is just supposed to be an unboxing anyway but I you know you get an idea four inch Super LCD display definitely looks good uh you know going head to head with those new Samsung's though that I just taped today is good to go episode with with James Kendrick and he's got the Droid Charge our Droid Charge is on its way or perhaps already in John Rhett injure his hands and James is telling me the screen on the Droid Charge is just incredible this Super AMOLED plus 4.3 inch and I saw some of the Samsung stuff at the conference I was that yesterday they had a they had a stand and I was checking out um the galaxy the galaxy 5 and galaxy 4 players and then they also had the galaxy s2 which is a beast of a phone and the displays on those very very sharp as well so I have to see how the Super LCD holds up but uh so far it definitely looks good again it make it make it eight megapixels on the back I'm having trouble speaking today 1.3 megapixel on the front you've got Adobe Flash support you've got that is a one heck of a funnel cloud coming down the street there you've got a flash support you've got SRS Wow HD surround sound face detection technology and the camera in grid noise cancellation technology I'm just reading the features off and the plans start at 39.99 a month for voice and $29.99 for unlimited smartphone data so you're looking at you know 70 bucks and up for a voice and data plan and then of course the optional 3G hotspot capability as well so there you go unboxing quick with the droid incredible - it feels really nice it feels a little more just a tiny bit more sophisticated or a rugged or something in its design than the original incredible I really like I said I really like the original incredible so even though this one is not f/4g it may well still be worthy of the incredible name and you know not everybody needs to forge you just yet because it's not ruled out everywhere yet much much more on the incredible - and all the other phones here's the Thunderbolt give you a quick size comparison there's the 4.3 inch Thunderbolt and there's the 4 inch dredge incredible - next to it so is there a battery power in this one I don't think this one no I was going to show you the screen there's no battery power in it there you go the incredible - the Droid Charge is coming like I said down Jon's way a slew of tablets that came in last week all kinds of stuff the t-mobile g2 acts you know it's on and on and on again and then and recently just some plans some stuff looked at about the next generation of Snapdragon and 1.5 gigahertz dual course now welcomes uplink conference is down in San Diego in oh I think in less than a month so should see some news coming out of there but we'll have more on the incredible - for sure over on TechnoBuffalo calm so next time my name is Noah and y'all know John I think's gonna hit you up with the charge pretty soon we'll see you later
