My Verizon Droid Incredible Day 4
Saturday, May 1, 2010 at 4:32PM
A quick, totally biased blurb about my New Droid Incredible on day 4.
The latest greatest Verizon Smart-phone arrived at my house Wednesday afternoon. After unboxing and then impatiently waiting for the battery light to turn green, my love for all things Google continued. The Incredible is made by HTC and it's running the Google Android OS with HTC Sense. The combination of "Android" and "Sense" makes the Incredible amazingly powerful yet simple to use. The phone comes with a crystal clear 3.7'' OLED touch screen thats very responsive. The speed and control of movement are beyond what I expected and better than what I have experienced on the iPhone. Speaking of the iPhone...I need to "rant" about the Appstore vs Market. The included Android apps covered all the bases with support for my Gmail, Facebook, Twitter and Youtube right out of the box. Any reports about apps being limited in the Android Market are a complete joke. Apple advertisements talk about the "number of available apps"... but does that number really matter? There is a huge difference between the number of applications that are available and the ability to find the apps that you need. Anything that I looked for in the Android Market was both readily available and easy to install with only a few clicks.

Look for a new post about the "Incredible" and the "Android OS" in the coming days. Please post any questions or comments.
