Phone geeks, bunch of bitchy little girls. :D
lol Don't worry about it man. Whenever I buy something that I'm going to be using for a while, I tend to make sure that I like the way it looks. I don't want to pull out my phone with a red back while everyone else has their standard blackberries out. ;) Glad I could explain.

Also, it'll be nice to actually go to the store and test this thing out.

What is the area to the left of the HTC. Looks like a circle(camera?). Also, can see it in post 12. Look at the 2nd pic here the area circled from that post.

does no one realize that MOST BACK PLATES COME OFF
take the damn thing off, paint it black and have a nice day

whining over a damn backplate, and also it looks quite BROWN not RED

I agree with everything you said completely, except that you think the back looks brown. I've heard a few other people say this, but it looks RED to me. I mean, fire engine red. It could be people's monitors or video cards or it could be that different people have different perceptions of color. Cause, that thing is nothing but red red red to me.

I have a worry about screen size. Look at the camera. Is it me or does it seem too big compared to the rest of the phone? Maybe I just can't find a N1 pic with good enough perspective but the camera on the incredible seems to take up more real estate and the pupil on the incredible seems bigger.

Funny how you put those to pictures back to back. The nexus one looks like the winner to me -- looks that is. Anyway, it's probably still a prototype.

The camera does look rather large, but that wouldn't worry me -- it's on the back, so what is it going to limit? Just plastic, I believe.

Also, on a different not: Did anyone realize that the guy in the "dark room" was right about the red back? Droid Developer Verizon has something “INCREDIBLE” up their sleeves..

Camera lens/image sensor is bigger on the Incredible... Pupil on the camera looks bigger... Notice the dual LED flashes. If this thing has two flashes, compared to just one on the Nexus One, and the sensor looks bigger and the pupil on the optics for the camera look bigger. Well...that only leads me to one conclusion: 720p HD video. Think about it. Bigger back for a big battery, big image sensor. We know that the guys who got to hold the phone in that back room and who compared it to the Behold II, thought it was the same size screen, 3.7. So...if we can agree that the screen is 3.7" or AT LEAST 3.5" (which honestly is barely even noticeably smaller when comparing), which I'm sure we can, then why would the image sensor and the optics be bigger and why would their be two flashes? Because this camera is a better camera, and because it takes HD video. That's my guess.

Edit: Also, think about it. The Increcible is even further down the road in evolution than the Nexus One. The Incredible has an optical track pad, while the Nexus has the old traditional track ball. Right there is a perfect example. So, it would make sense that the Incredible will have newer technology in the camera department as well. This is my current thought on this. I'm not saying that the Nexus is old or that it's a bad phone, I'm just saying that there HAS to be some big differences in the Nexus and the Incredible in order for the Incredible to even remotely live up to it's name. If it was less of a phone or equal to the Nexus One, then calling it the HTC Incredible would be a joke and everyone would be laughing at them. "What's so 'incredible' about this phone? It's not even as advanced as the Nexus One." See what I mean?

Exactly! The phone of all phones is FINALLY on the horizon and you Sallies bitch about the color of the BACK?? Really?!? Can't be seen amongst your buddies having a phone with a red back? Wow.... peer pressure still affects you guys that much??? Dayummm.....
