We didn't pay for 720p. The phone wasn't advertised with those feature.

Don't feel too bad. Last year, when people ripped apart the iPhone 3GS, they found a chipset that also has the capabilities for HD recording. As we all know, that was never implemented.

True, but what I meant was that the cost of the omnivision chip (which can do up to 1080p) is factored into their pricing of the device. So, we paid for it. It's not like HTC cut us a bit of a break by lowering the cost of the device since they haven't yet loaded a proper driver yet.

So, like I said, make use of the hardware we paid for. Hopefully a custom ROM comes out that gives us full capability.

I know a few people here seem decently excited about the prospect of getting 720p recording, but i'm personally not. IMO if im going to use a feature i don't want it to be half baked like 720p video on ALL cell phones right now.

Evo, IP4, Droid X they all have that "jello" effect as i've heard it referred to, and it really makes the video useless. IP4 probably does it best, but some of the video i have seen that include a good deal of movement and action it's still very crappy. Idk i suppose it's one of those marketable points for the phone. I guess i'm taking the "expect nothing" approach, if it does indeed happen and is completely useless i won't be disappointed, but if it works i'll be pleasantly surprised. My $.02

Good'ish news for those looking for the keychains.. DX has them as a set of 4 (Green, Red, Blue, Black) for under $9 shipped, or $2.70 for a single one shipped in your choice of colors. I'm sure they won't have the "HTC" engraving, and I'm normally against most cheap knockoffs from china, but seeing as this is just a molded rubber item I figured you guys might want to save a few $$. Hope this helps:

I have an HTC Incredible and got the software update 2 days ago. 720p and 3G Mobile Hotspot is definitely on there.

Why does your Incredible say HTC uptop? instead of verizon? also Why does it says All Apps? instead of All Programs?
