Motorola Droid or HTC Incredible
« on: May 08, 2010, 07:54:39 PM »
I need a new phone and thinking of a smart phone.  I only have Verizon for a carrier.  I'm leaning toward the incredible but thought I would get some ideas from you alls.  Any pros and cons of both would be appreciated.  Will either of them be able to record streaming music from my desktop like from pandora or msn radio stations and play them back later via either headphones or an output jack to a car aux in.  I currently I only have 1g service, not 3g.  I realize this may be more phone than what I currently need but we do travel and get around, and we are "supposed" to get better service sometime this year.

I don't have experience between the two...I know the HTC one is very iphone like, and the droid is pretty durable.  Also throw the Storm 2 into the mix...very good phone.

I have been holding out for the Nexus One to be released to Verizon. I just checked out Google's website for the Nexus One and found this:
Quote
In the US, if you’ve been waiting for the Nexus One for Verizon Wireless’ network, head over to http://phones.verizonwireless.com/htc/incredible  to pre-order the Droid Incredible by HTC, a powerful new Android phone and a cousin of the Nexus One that is similarly feature-packed. It will be available in stores on April 29th.
To be honest I like the look of the HTC Droid Incredible over the Nexus One. Both phones will give you what you want as far as music. The Incredible has a 8mp camera as opposed to the Droid's 5.7, the Incredible also has a more powerful processor. For the same price I would go with the Incredible.

Incredible by a large margin. The only down side to it is that if you have large fingers it is sometimes hard to make selections so try it out before you buy it. Either way... Android.

A buddy of mine has the HTC Incredible, and it's awesome! But that's probably just because I've got a simple sliding phone with nothing fancy on it but I guess bubble breaker.
No one knows what the future may bring.

We also have Verizon, at our last contract re-negotiation we ended up with the "Palm" phones. It has a wireless node, that allows connection for up to five computers. Very useful on long trips.

I love my droid and can't say anything bad about it.  I love the docking stations.  It's my garmin, pda, phone, alarm clock and so much else.

Whatever phone you get, the android system is the way to go.

I have the Boulder and I love it

In the year I've had it Ive managed to drop it while using it a couple times from 25' up on a ladder, Got it buried in the snow, Been completely saturated several times while pressure washing.

And it still works perfectly. A guy I know even used his a couple of times to bang in a few nail pops

The only downside to the boulder is its a flip style phone so there is no keyboard to text with. But I hate texting anyway and of the opinion that its a fad that cant pass soon enough. So thats no biggie to me.

If your into texting though and you live an active lifestyle and/or actually work for a living as opposed to polishing a desk chair. The Brigade is the phone to have.

the G’zOne line of phones can be frozen in a block of ice. submerged in water, Run over by a car and still work. both during and after.
although it didnt survive a drop from a 7 story building. but I think thats asking a bit much.

Can yours?

I have had the incredible for about a week now (pre-ordered it online and got it a day before release).

No regrets at all, very solid phone, and does everything I want.
The touch screen is easy to use (which was a worry for me), the screen is clear and bright and the camera awesome.

Navigation works well, no problems thus far.

I highly recommend it.
