With the rumors of 3.0 right around the corner, my decision to finally hop on the android express comes to another hault. At christmas, I almost bought a droid. Then I went abroad, planning to buy the nexus one on my return, then only to fall in love with the incredible. Since then I have had an incredible on order at a Verizon store (though my deposit is refundable). The droid x comes out, but motoblur and design didn't sell me on that phone.
So here I am, the Incredible should be here any day now (been saying that for a month...), and I read about 3.0. If the rumors are true, the incredible will BARELY meet the requirements to even attain 3.0, but with HTC sense (which I am finally starting to consider a hindrance instead of a must-have feature), will the phone even get 2.2 or 3.0 in a timely manner? How much better will phones be in November, and will they come without a UI? Then there is rooting, which I am unfamiliar with, could that solve my problems with custom UI's to get 2.2 and 3.0 with an incredible? a two-year contract is a long time, and I do have a phone to get me through to november...any advice? Is anyone in the same situation (or perhaps thinking of upgrading from one of the early android devices now/soon?)
The only thing the incredible doesnt have that I would prefer is better battery life and a 4" screen. If HTC sense is not an issue with updates, that is.
