I have lately been finding it very interesting that both the Nexus One and the Desire are HD video ready, but it's just not enabled and will be enabled through a software update later. That's what the news said. Why not have HD video capabilities right from the start? If it's just a software thing and all they'd have to do is just enable it, then why not enable it and have the phone be able to take 720p video from the get-go?
I think the answer is the Incredible. I think there was some sort of agreement between HTC and Verizon that the HTC Incredible would be the first phone to have HD video recording enabled. Sure, the Nexus and Desire will get it enabled later on after the Incredible has been out for a few months, but I honestly believe that is what's going on. Because why else would a phone like the Desire be released by HTC and it is completely capable of recording in HD but they just didn't enable it? It doesn't make sense, unless you figure Verizon and the Incredible into the equation. Notice that the Incredible has the bigger, higher quality "looking" lens and it has DUAL LED flashes.
I'm tellin ya, Verizon has something big planned for the Incredible. I've seriously been laying in bed trying to get to sleep imagining the possible commercials and marketing campaigns for the Incredible. All it needs is a few higher end specs to make it "incredible" in the public's view. Compare it to the iPhone, for example: Bigger screen, dual LED flash, AMOLED screen, 720p HD video, google maps with navigation/gps built-in and free Skype, POSSIBLY a front facing camera (which would make Skype AMAZING for this phone), 1ghz processor, etc. The list can go on for a while how this phone would be superior to the iPhone and many other phones.
So, with that said. I truly believe that Verizon is going to make the Incredible their new flagship and I can just imagine the massive advertising campaign behind this phone. I honestly believe this phone will have some specs that set it totally apart from any phone on the market, including the N1 and the Desire. I'm getting pretty excited to see it and I have a feeling we'll all be very happy with what we find out this phone can do. Verizon just isn't going to put out a phone, call it the "Incredible" and have it be just on par with every other phone out right now. They're not stupid. At least not yet. haha The more and more I've thought about it, the more I think Verizon is really putting all of their resources into this phone. I think it will have every bell and whistle imaginable and the only thing that some people wish it will have come out with is a 4.3" screen instead of a 3.7" screen. Then they release a 4.3" phone in the third or fourth quarter and everyone gets what they want. That's the way I see it unfolding currently, but that's just my theory and personal opinion.
