Droid Developer

I recently had the pleasure of some hands on time with the device. I only had a few moments with the Incredible in a dark room during a meeting, but here are some unreleased details. Unfortunately we were asked not to take pictures (device had watermarked OS).

The Hardware:

• The phone was solid. Not light, but not really heavy, it was comfortable.
• The back was  plastic metallic red.
• The screen was bright and with a nearby Samsung Behold II it was obvious the  Incredible had the same 3.7″ AM-OLED screen just like the Nexus One.
• The camera was 5 mega-pixels with 2 small circles next to the lens (believed to belong to a led flash and light sensor).
• The processor was said to be 850 MHz

The Software:

• Sence UI with Android 2.1
• Native Multi touch (we were told this device would also launch with Multi-touch)
• 11 possible home screens with a way to bring them up all at once in a cool iris style view

I went through the normal home screen and app drawer scrolling. I was very impressed by the responsiveness in my few moments with the device. I did however notice that while scrolling though the settings on the device that it currently only had 71mb available internal space left this may be a sign of limited internal storage.

The Incredible from HTC/Verizon seems like a great device,  from my brief time with it I am afraid users expecting an Incredible device will be left wanting more.  Any device named ”INCREDIBLE” should be the best on the market, with the Nexus one just being released with a more powerful processor this one completely falls short of its name.
