NKT can you confirm if Google Nav is on there? I could see VZW stripping that because that is just what they do. Thanks

He said earlier that it's the same nav that's on the leaked 2.1 eris rom.

HTCLUVR · Mar 11, 2010

My bad didn't see that. Thanks woodraskam!

NKT · Mar 11, 2010

Yes, Google Nav is there. It's the exact same as in the Eris 2.1 software.

OH darn someone already posted it... NVM!

WHOOO!!!! 8 megapixels?! 512 RAM!? SIGN ME UP!

Welcome to 5 hours ago.....lol

Had to post. Not because of the new developments, not because I have new information to add, but because you're not hearing from enough women. Not everyone eagerly anticipating the Incredible is a guy, and there are a lot of men who can't figure out their phones until their patient, loving wives show them how they work.

Sorry I just logged onto my computer at school jumped on engadget and that's what I saw. I'm only about 30 mins late to the party however

HTCLUVR · Mar 11, 2010

Doesn't engadget realize that the majority of the people reading those pages are also on this forum or any other forum about this stuff. Sorry to be sort of off topic but come on bring someting new Engadget.

You are def more than 30 minutes late, we have been talking about it since what? 8:30am?

ESPforMe · Mar 11, 2010

Been following this phone for a long time now, so want to say thanks to all in this thread. If not for you guys I'd probably have got something unsatisfactory.

This is going to be x100000000 times better than what I have now, a Sony Ericsson w400a on AT&T :eek:

Hey NKT - any thoughts on the construction of the phone? You mentioned that the dimensions are similar to the Droid and N1, yet the Droid has a much "sturdier" feel than the N1. How would you rate the Incredible? Thanks.

All Android 2.+ phones need car docks. That is the one thing I really miss from giving up my Droid.

Oh jeez. The engadget post was dated at like 1:40 I thought I was bringing fresh news haha. Might I ask where everyone else found this info at 830?

Build feels solid. Just not the weight of the Moto or the N1.

NKT is the one that got his hands on it and the pictures on engadgets are the ones he took.

Has anyone checked out the comments to the article regarding the phone and pic's posted here by NKT on Engadget? Most are not very kind. Lot's of people not happy with the underclocked CPU and the form factor. I wonder why when so many here seem to really like it?

Alrighty then. Well thanks NKT!!

HTCLUVR · Mar 11, 2010

My dilemma is Should i get the N1 root it and load Sense if I want with a custom rom or get the incredible?

Its bragging rights crap. No one is going to notice the difference unless they put on some performance measuring software. Thats assuming it stays clocked under 800 at launch which I dont think it will.
Hell I'd prefer it still have the all red back to allow it to stand out from every other phone out there.

The 8 megapixel camera is kind of a selling point to get the Incredible in my mind. When I got the omnia it had one of the better mobile cameras out at the time and it still impresses me today.

Because THEY are idiots. :cool:

If someone told them it was running at 900 - even if it wasn't, they wouldn't know the diff. but would be pleased as punch......

Rooting voids your warranty and you take a chance (probably small if you follow the directions from a good source) of bricking your phone. Also no over the air updates for rooted phones for the most part. The N1 will also have a lesser camera according to NKT is thats your thing.

On the side like the Eris, under the battery cover.

Since many of us have been considering the N1 vs. Incredible...the comparisons are inevitable. With that in mind...I read that the N1 has hardware issues. I wasn't aware of that? But I haven't been hanging out anywhere but here. I thought the N1 was an excellent phone. So I guess I have my homework cut out for me because I haven't really compared the phones spec for specs. Anyone care to let me off the hook and give me an easy out?

1. What are the N1 hardware issues?

2. Does the N1 shoot video? (NKT says the Incredible does not...or at least no 720p.)

3. NKT says the feel in hand is better for the N1

4. Incredible has Sense UI and Verizon support.

5. N1 has a faster clock speed and will likely have faster updates.

6. N1 has noise canceling mic...Incredible does not.

7. N1 has larger battery....but this point could be mute due to the lower clock speed and the availability of aftermarket batteries.

Otherwise these phones have very similar specs. Have I missed anything? Anyone care to comment on the differences I've posted?

I realize other's have put up comparison posts...but to my knowledge these are the only meaningful differences...minus the hardware issues? Yes?

Thanks!
