I have been planning to get the N1 for Verizon since they announced it would be out in the Spring. In fact I have already purchased Innocase 2 and Screen protectors for the N1 in anticipation of owning the phone. I have to have V for service reasons as I live in the hills and they are the only ones that get good coverage. I now read that an "Incredible" very similar specs and dimensions to the N1 will be out within two weeks. As long as the phones are released within a couple of weeks of each other as rumored then the difference in timeframe doesn't bother me.
As I see it, the main difference in specs are that the Incredible (dumb name) has 6GB of RAM vs. 512kb for the N1. The Incredible also has an 8mp camera vs. 5mp for the N1. The camera is not a major selling tool for me and I planned to get a 16gb card so the extra RAM isn't that big of a deal either. I know nothing of, if any, benefits to internally built vs. sd card RAM. I do like the optical trackball on the Incredible vs. the one on the N1 as I have had problems with 4 trackballs on my BB Curves in the past because my phone is generally in my pocket. Overall, I think that I would slightly prefer the Incredible over the N1 bascially just because of the trackball issue.
I know that many of you are experts on all of this so my main question is what other factors should I be considering? Thank you in advance for your help and suggestions!
