Capacitive buttons? Weren't those supposed to go away with ICS?

Capacitive buttons? Weren't those supposed to go away with ICS?

HTC doesn't seem to want to get rid of them...

4" screen - win
Sense 4.0 - win
Snapdragon processor - win
4G - win
NFC - win
$99-149 price tag - win

Battery life????? That's the deal breaker for me. For me looking at this phone is like eyeballing an extremely hot chick but having the nagging feeling in the back of your head that she's psycho crazy. But she's smoking hot. Might be crazy. But hot. Worth it? Depends on how many chargers you have laying around I guess.

Battery life *should* be better on this phone than any other current VZW phone with an external LTE radio.
The S4 processor has internal LTE built in on the krait based SoC chip, the first of it's kind...
Hopefully it's way less power hungry and very efficient...
The S4 is also not lacking in the speed department...

Should is the operative word there. I had a DInc and loved it except for the battery life. I moved to the DInc2 which spanked the DInc in the battery department. Then I moved to the Rezound. Battery sucked as bad as the DInc. I couldn't bring myself to go back to being tied to a charger all the time, dropped the Rezound and went back to my DInc2. If I can get a phone that's basically a refreshed version of the DInc2 and it gets similar battery life I am so on board with that.

I'm with G.adams22 on this. I think battery life will be fine. Maybe not quite that of the Inc2, but worlds better than the Rezound. My buddy with the Rezound would trade me for my Inc2 in a NY minute....except that I tell him to go kick rocks when he asks.

This has all the earmarks of the perfect phone. Let's just hope it all works out as planned.....

 

[A.Nonymous]

It does have the earmarks of a perfect phone. No disagreements there. After having bad battery experiences with the Rezound and the DInc, I'm not going out and buying this guy on launch day though.

With all that being said...

 

[hilmar2k]

So much smoke...will we have fire(ball) by the end of the month?

Leaks suggest Verizon gearing up for Droid Incredible 4G launch | Mobile - CNET News

Supposedly April 26.

"HTC said their One X is coming to a record number of carriers, and we suspect it will eventually land on Verizon"

Did you see that? Here is it again:

"HTC said their One X is coming to a record number of carriers, and we suspect it will eventually land on Verizon"

That's right. One X baby!

Found here.

[TheAtheistReverend]

Don’t expect an HTC One device from Verizon any time soon

"If you are tied to Verizon and want anything like the One experience, the Droid Incredible 4G LTE is your best shot for the time being."

Yup. I was being hopeful.

Maybe it's a good thing my upgrade isn't due until Feb...

If nothing else comes out by then, at least the DInc4G will be freeeeee!

Again *crosses fingers*

 

[RBEmerson]

Free? How do you figure that?

 

[TheAtheistReverend]

February is almost 10 months away, the phone will be discounted at least once or twice by then and like I said:

Again *crosses fingers*

Being hopeful, y'know?

 

[initial_V]

I hope Dinc4G is a world phone (GSM + LTE).
The main reason why I went with the Dinc2 is because of the GSM and CDMA capabilities.

Why is the Inc4 missing a button? It only has 3 at the bottom, from what the screenshot shows.

The button isn't "missing", that is the layout for ICS phones now.
