what's up everyone John rende you're from TechnoBuffalo here and I've got an unboxing for you of the brand new HTC Droid Incredible for Verizon Wireless it's not every day we get to take a first look at a flagship smartphone so I'm really looking forward to this let's go ahead and dig in use the obligatory dual knife here to hack through this I should mention that pre-orders are available for this phone right now it will be shipping out on April 29th for $1.99 after rebate on a two-year contract so very small box you've got some PR information in there I'll push it off to the side here is the HTC Droid Incredible or HTC Incredible as it says on the front let's go over some of the specs on this device just sort of very quickly it is running Android 2.1 with HTC's own skin on top of it called sense it's got an 8 megapixel camera with autofocus and dual LED flash which is pretty impressive I can capture video at WVGA which means 800 by 480 and as a 3.7 inch o le D full-color capacitive display which has a resolution of 480 by 800 pixels and of course has a 1 gigahertz Snapdragon processor in it and this browser is multi-touch and can support flash so enough about the geekiness let's go ahead and dig into the phone and check out what we got joy incredible so there is the incredible sitting right on top looks like this one has been reviewed before push that off to the side keep digging in you get your tips and shortcuts no CDs just some booklets and information keep peeling back got a new looking HTC wall 2 USB charger and USB two micro USB cable and that is about the extent of it nothing terribly exciting in there all right so now we took a look at all the accessories let's take a look at the main attraction the Droid Incredible itself and as a slang device meaning it's what you see is what you get and no slide-out QWERTY keyboard all of your controls are done on screen so the 3.7 inch touchscreen really highlights the phone missing down below here is the trackball that we've seen on some previous HTC built Android devices it's gonna replace now with an optical trackpad which works very much the same way you can roll any direction you want and you can push in for menu selection you've got four capacitive buttons along the bottom here you've got a home button a menu button a back button a search button the Nexus One has the same sort of capacitive button array but they weren't the most responsive some curious of HTC actually fixed it or made it a bit more responsive for this on the left side of the phone got a volume rocker up and down and your charging port on the right side got a big whopping nothing on the bottom you've got your microphone port and the top 3.5 milimeter headset jack and your power and lock if you're looking around for a camera button you're actually not going to have when the camera controls must be on screen and of course we are talking about the eight megapixel sensor on the back with dual LED flash supposedly this is going to be very good for low-light situations the camera is out of focus as well let's go ahead and pry off the back and take a look at it before we do that I notice these weird designs here at first I thought that was gonna add some heft and bulk to the phone but actually it really does not I spoke to the folks HTC and they claimed that that was racecar inspire it's just to look and remind you of a race car I don't know it's gonna be a surprise I love or hate thing it's really not a deal-breaker but that race car inspired theme extends actually to the inside of the phone as well it's completely red and all you have is a 1300 milliamp hour battery so go ahead and pop that back in when you pull off the back you also get access to the micro SD card slot which will go up to 32 gigs push this back on so like I mentioned these ridges don't really add any extra weight or size heft but why take my word for it let me show you and do a quick size comparison to a few other devices you may be familiar with so here we have its distant cousin the Nexus One they share a lot of the same internals you can see that they tried the bath they don't look very different for stacked on top of each other very similar footprint and if we do a side side almost no difference in thickness if we take the incredible next to an iphone 3gs I apologize for the busted up miss of mine the screen protectors coming off down there stacked on top of each other the iPhone is a little bit bigger probably see it better that way a little bit of sliver of room on the side and I think in this test the iPhone is definitely the thickest and if we make a little droid incredible sandwich here you can see the thickness of all the devices so let's try and power it on and see if it's has a charge sometimes these come completely dead hopefully we'll be able to get something out of us go ahead and kick it on and so it does have enough juice HTC Incredible which a strange confer eysan is actually calling it the Droid Incredible so I think the official name is the HTC Droid Incredible I assume that we'll see probably the Verizon logo next what I do want to see very quickly before I sort of end this video is see if this supports flash some of the other HTC devices like the desire have come supporting flash right out of the box this one there's been some mixed reports so I want to try and put that to bed as to whether or not it does the browser certainly multi-touch though so to go over some of the specs it does have Wi-Fi 802 and B and G it's got the GPS of course it weighs four point six ounces connect your charger looks like it's almost dead go ahead and slide it down so you can get just enough charge to get on the Internet alright so let's see if we can go to a bit of flash comm and we'll see if we do indeed have slash support on the incredible it looks like it's thinking about loading it that's where the Flash content is looks like it's getting ready to play something so we may be able to confirm that we do in fact have flash on here let's see what's what it's doing and it's playing so there you have something to put this thing back on the charger before it dies on me but this does support flash so if you were wondering I was looking for device that does support flash the HTC Droid Incredible is going to definitely be for you it's sitting on top of Android 2.1 with the newest version of HTC Sense pure - stay tuned to the channel for a ton of more incredible videos we're gonna put it head-to-head against the Nexus One we're gonna put a head-to-head against the iPhone 3GS we're going to see how it stacks up on its own two legs this one is running on t-mobile Verizon and AT&T so it should be a very interesting comparison comparing network speeds and reliability and also be doing a ton more videos on the incredible showing some of the features and specs and are you guys from John Rhett enger' from TechnoBuffalo and I hope you enjoyed I'll see you the next video buh-bye
