HTC ‘Incredible’ Android Phone Lands on Verizon
The Android factory that is HTC has cranked out yet another phone. HTC’s latest device is called Droid Incredible and it will hit Verizon Wireless this month.
The Incredible has some snazzy specs. The phone features a 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, a 8 megapixel camera with dual LED flash, 3.7-inch OLED display, Wi-Fi and GPS. And it will run the latest version of the Android operating system, Android 2.1.
But the launch of HTC Incredible could take a toll on another device: Google’s Nexus One phone. The Nexus One, also designed by HTC, debuted in January on T-Mobile. But Google has indicated it wants to offer the device on other carriers, especially Verizon.
The HTC Incredible could put a spoke in that plan. The Incredible is on par with the Nexus one in terms of processing power and the vivid OLED display. Where it scores over the Nexus One is in its more powerful camera.
The question now is whether consumers will want to buy the Nexus One, if it ever comes to Verizon, especially when they can get a better device for just a few more bucks.
The HTC Incredible will cost $200, after a $100 mail-in rebate, and with a two-year contract. The phone will be available on Verizon starting April 29.
