Hello everyone, I'm going to be purchasing my first smart phone coming up in about a week with Verizon. I currently have a dinosaur Motorola Krzr. But I'm having a little bit of trouble deciding on which new Android phone would best meet my needs. So if someone could possibly guide me in the right direction or make some recommendations based on my needs, it would be much appreciated.
What I like to do.
1) I'm a news junkie. So I really like to read, browse news sites and forums to stay up to date on news. Watching videos on youtube would be nice. I know that the X has the bigger screen which is nice, but how efficient and easy is the Incredible at browsing the net and watching videos? I don't want to be squinting to try to read and watch.
2) Text Messaging / typing. I am pretty active on a lot of forums, so typing fast and accurately would be nice. I also enjoy text messaging a lot. I've never used a slide out qwerty keyboard on a cell phone or a touch screen keyboard. So I'm not sure what is better/faster/more accurate.
3) Camera for taking pictures
4) Talking / general phone use
Things that are not that important to me.
1) Games / ROMS. I don't really ever see myself playing games on my cell phone.
2) Social Networking. I don't really use facebook or twitter. Although I have thought about getting facebook.
**TLDR** Android 2, Incredible, or X for me? What is the fastest for texting/ typeing? Does the larger screen on the X make it that much more efficient than the Incredible for watching videos / reading / browsing? Or is Incredible still able to browse / read / watch videos easily without squinting or troubles?
