BrianZ06 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 I am thinking about getting a Droid incredible or Droid 2. Who has one ? I need to move up and get with the times,lol. What else compares to these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Those are actually pretty outdated phones. The HTC Merge is coming to Verizon which is basically their G2, which is a lot like a Nexus One but with a keyboard. That is if you want a keyboard. Unlike the G2 and Nexus One, it will be using HTC Sense. http://www.product-reviews.net/2010/10/13/htc-merge-verizon-first-hands-on-video/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putty Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 That's tough if I were on VZW. The Fascinate is stellar. Except you can't install apks unless you connect to PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put the spec of the inc up against others. Besides screen size, it's still quite up to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staywide8 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 G2 Processor 800 MHz Qualcomm MSM 7230 (Easily overclocked to 1.6 and above) Operating System Android 2.2 Memory 4GB ROM, 512 MB RAM Display 3.7-inch WVGA 480x 800 resolution, capacitive touchpanel Camera 5 megapixel color camera with auto focus and flash Incredible CPU Speed Qualcomm® QSD8650, 1GHz Snapdragon™ Platform Android™ 2.2 (Froyo) with HTC Sense™ Memory Flash 8GB + 512MB/RAM 512MB Display 3.7-inch touch-sensitive screen with 480 X 800 WVGA resolution Nexus 1 Processor Qualcomm® QSD8250™, 1 GHz Operating System Android™ 2.2 Memory ROM: 512 MB RAM: 512 MB Seems to me the incredible holds up well for being outdated, same with the nexus one. Screen size is the only thing they all lack. Having said that, and with owning a Droid X, the incredible on verizon is as good as it gets imo until the incredible hd comes out. Same thing as the incredible, with a better cpu and 4.3 inch screen. Wait till then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Screen size doesn't mean shit, it's screen resolution. Then of course you have to look at "4G" compatibly. The other thing is, and most significant for me, is the Incredible going to continue to receive the latest Android updates? The Nexus one is the only phone with 2.2.1, and will be the first to receive 2.3. Not only is the incredible plagued with having Sense which is always slow on receiving updates, but it's getting to the point where it may be getting to the point where it won't be getting updates anymore. The G2 may have a lower clock speed for it's CPU, but it has a much better GPU. It's an old ass phone, get something newer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screen resolution is the same on all, hence the reason is wasn't brought up. 4g doesn't exist yet on verizon, another moot point. Since the Merge is being released before years end, it won't have it. Updates come and go, and most people root and have updates before they're released anyway. Shit, the Inc has damn near as many ports as the Nexus 1. As stated before, the incredible is far from outdated imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowbalt Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Original Droid and I love it. Easily to root and then you can do pretty much anything with it. I like the fascinate if you don't mind an all touch phone or the Droid 2 if you like a keyboard. Can't really go wrong with any of the android devices besides eris and devour.....blah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 when i got a new phone, my only requirements were that it have a physical keyboard, run android/be compatible with 2.2 when it came out, and be relatively inexpensive. i got the lg ally, have had minor complaints (slowest processor) but it does anything i ask it to and cost me $50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Wait until February. Most of the good ones are usually out by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
