“The Droid Incredible by HTC is an absolutely amazing device. The most powerful phone on the U.S. market today, it reflects and enhances the state of the art smartphone, with the full backing and support of the Verizon Wireless network. It's our obvious Editor's Choice for Verizon Wireless smartphones and one of our highest-rated phones in the past year.”
“The Incredible is the best smartphone on Verizon, and the second-best smartphone in America; it would outpace the iPhone if it weren't for all of those great iPhone apps. The Incredible renders the upcoming Nexus One for Verizon's network totally irrelevant, although it may yet be outmatched by Sprint's upcoming, WiMax-based Evo 4G.”
Sascha Segan
“With its polished design and user interface and blazing fast speeds, the HTC Droid Incredible takes pole position as Verizon's top smartphone and is now the Android device to beat.”
Editor’s Choice Winner
“Motorola Droid owners now have a reason to be jealous. Verizon's third and arguably best Droid handset is the HTC Droid Incredible, an Android 2.1 powered device with an updated version of HTC's Sense interface.”
“Surprisingly, the addition of HTC's Sense UI on top of a loaded Android 2.1 operating system resulted in little to no lag. Although we anticipated that the Incredible would be slightly slower than the stock Android Nexus One (which has the same processor), we didn't find that to be the case at all.”
“The HTC Droid Incredible is one of our favorite Android handsets to date. With the latest version of Android and an updated Sense UI, the user experience is great. Hardware-wise, the device feels well built and the camera is excellent for a smart phone. Add to that the 1-GHz Snapdragon processor and plenty of memory and you have a device that easily rivals the Droid and the Nexus One.”
Marc Flores
“This is the best Android phone you can buy on Verizon, which, at the very least, makes it the best smartphone you can buy on Verizon. It's also possibly the best Android phone you can buy in the US for now”
“The two bits I'll note separately about the software is that it's got the most usable Android touch keyboard in existence, and it's remarkably fast and responsive—like the fastest I've ever seen an Android phone running the Sense interface. It's almost shockingly fast, actually.”
Matt Buchanan
“Let's just put this out there: the Droid Incredible is the best Android device that you can purchase in America right now. It's better than the Droid, better than the Nexus One, and certainly beats the pants off of any previous generation handsets like the Eris, myTouch, or Cliq. It's not just a very, very good Android phone (though it is); it's also an excellent smartphone no matter how you cut it. If you're on Verizon right now, you're finally getting really great options for phones, but the Incredible is currently sitting at the top of that heap with a good bit of distance to the next in line.”
“If you're looking for an ultra-fast, extremely capable smartphone that has the guts and gleam to go the distance, the Incredible just might be the Droid you're looking for. Yes, we made that joke.”
Josh Topolski
“The best of the Droids on Verizon, the Droid Incredible ($200 with a two-year contract from Verizon) impresses with its speedy user interface, gorgeous AMOLED display and fun Sense user interface. Other than some minor design qualms, this smartphone truly lives up to its name.”
“My favorite new Sense UI feature is Leap, which essentially is an elegant way of handling multitasking (a bit reminiscent of Palm's webOS deck of cards visualization). Pinch anywhere on the homescreen, and you'll jump to seven thumbnail versions of your open pages. From there, you can go to any of those open applications or close out of one.”
