It makes me so angry that..

[woop]

It is a software limitation because back in March/April, someone revealed the max video resolution in the phone profile is 720p. My take? EVO gets exclusivity of HD recording for a short while and it comes to the Incredible in a software update. After all, it's the same camera in both phones. I'm not that concerned here.

Ditto. Just because both phones have 2.1 and Sense doesn't mean they're the exact same phones in terms of software.

You should definitely return the phone. It's obviously limited in its capabilities. I mean, it can't even record video in 720 HD??? Pffffbbb ...

Maybe get a StarTac and a Sony Handycam? Probably costs less *AND* you can record video in HD!

 

[chigins]

Its nice that my phone can record video, if I see something kewl I can record it. ONEMILLION 80 P would not make it any better for me.

Nope not agry! (BTW still waiting for my Inc.)

I have a flip video with 2 hours of HD. I don't need my phone to do anything other then sporadic recording of things I might pass by and that does not need to be in HQ

 

[Fantasma]

I also Have a Flip Ultra HD!

Effin' awesome.

 

[SoulWeaponry]

Spoke with a verizon rep. He told me an update will be coming that will enable 1080p 3d capabilities through our crappy camera phones. Finally, i can shoot my own xxx rated version of avatar. Oh look! That boob flew right off the screen

If anything you should be upset about the battery. That's about it on my end.

 

[NoShftShck16]

Could be just me but...

ITS A PHONE! Yes, it can surf the web, yes you can take a picture, play music and record video. If your the type who frequently uses your phone to take pictures and record video then you are already used to terrible quality.

I'm not angry, I love my phone and I'm actually not a huge fan of the EVO.

See, its because I have these tiny hands...

 

[Boomstk]

So you bought an Incredible knowing what the capabilities are. And now you are mad because it doesn't do what its not suppose to do?

 

[DevHead]

Simple solution: return the DINC and get one of the aforementioned.

It makes me angry when im using my phone so i can't preview the thread and some jackass makes a title that tells you nothing.

 

[gorenut]

Its unfortunate and I knew this would happen... legions of people getting defensive/upset when the iPhone gets released. I'm completely happy with my purchase, I made an educated one where I already knew what was on the horizon and narrowed my options down based on what I thought would be the best for me with my money. You should have saw this coming that phones with 720p recording was coming out after Incredible (heck, ones existed even before the Incred). If that woulda been a key factor in your purchase in NOT making you SO STEAMING, maybe you should have held off and made a purchase that would have left you a happier customer.

In the end of it all, I admit I was a little disappointed when the final specs of the Incredible noted that 720p video WAS not in the package (originally it was speculated), but I was ok with that and upon reading up more... you really need ideal situations to really take advantage of 720p recording on a phone. Definitely would take up all your memory.

Who said for sure that the 720p wasn't a software limitation? You have to remember the EVO also came out with an updated version of youtube, etc. So whats to say this isn't a software limitation? (unless I'm missing something)

There was a thread with a link to download the software to get the updated YouTube app on the Incredible. Somone pulled it from the Evo and it worked on our Incredible.

I have the new app on my phone. I remember them saying they tried to get the 720P recording and it wouldnt work. I forgot the reason.

But that thread was locked due to legal reasons.

This was last post in thread that was reasoning for lock:

Maybe get a StarTac...

Hey, no "smack talk" about the StarTac!!
I actually still have mine from 10 years ago in pristine condition with both the standard and slim batteries...

Yes, I need to have my head examined!!

 

[misterzeno]

No need to be angry man, tech moves forward all the time. I cant wait to see phones that will be out by the holidays or even a year from now.

 

[swazedahustla]

Initially it would seem disappointing.

But it turned out that the EVO 720p is actually poor due to compression issues.

Actually thats just a software fix though.
