I'm so torn.
I have until Monday to decide if I should swap my Incredible for an X.
I've been hanging out in the Incredible forums, but new here, so I figured I'd see what the other side says.
I've been happy with the Incredible, but the X definitely is a better piece of technology.
I don't make too many calls, I do a lot of emailing, some texting, some multimedia, some casual games and just random (fun) apps mainly.
One thing I'm very worried about is that the Incredible is going to wind up getting buried. Verizon must be royally ticked off at HTC right now for their supply problems. Clearly, Verizon is counting on the X as being their flagship device at the moment and both them and google seem to be putting a lot of weight behind it.
The big worry about the X is size. I typically carry a phone in my pocket, without a case and just with a screen protector. I have relatively small hands.
If X really does significantly outperform the Incredible (with an upgraded 1500mah) battery-wise, that'd be a nice advantage. Is there any real evidence yet that the battery is better?
With the Incredible, I can hold it in my right hand and swype with my right thumb without needing my left hand at all. Will I be able to do that with the X?
I do see that the X's swype keyboard has the mic icon. I'm not sure they Incredible will ever see a mic icon in swype.
A couple of other minor things, but might make a difference.
X is a micro usb, right? Where is it positioned on the phone? I really hate having the plug on the left on the Incredible. Unless I get a right angle usb cable, it makes it tricky to use it while lying on my left side.
Anything else I should be considering?
Is there anywhere I can go to actually see an X in person? The Verizon store here didn't have one. I can go see an EVO, which is pretty close and get an idea that way.
It really all just comes down to how much of a problem the size of the phone is compared to the extra features, bettery battery?, larger screen.
