Essentially it will be very close to the Droid performance-wise. It has a nicer camera, Sense UI, and more ram. Those are the main improvements.

It has a different screen technology (OLED vs TFT LCD).

Those are the main differences. The snapdragon is faster than the Droid's CPU but the Droid also has a GPU so they'll be close. The Incredible has more RAM but also has SenseUI sucking up some of it.

It is DEFINITELY a sexy phone though, if it had a keyboard I'd be pretty jealous...

what happened to the nexus. Did HTC/google/ vzw decide to repackage it as the incredible to stick with the "droid theme". Droie Eris, Droid, Droid Nexus..uhhhhhh Incredible.

The Droid branding is the best part of this. Verizon is marketing the hell out of the Droid name whether it be Moto Droid, Droid Eris, Droid Incredible, etc... Absolutely excellent idea and brand name recognition and it seems to be sticking too. Hopefully Droid will become a household name, regardless of manufacturer, just like iP(hone, od, ad).

true true........one is small (eris), one has a keyboard (moto), and one has a snapdragon chip, no keyboard, and look less like the iphone..uhhhhh nexus.

It's not the same phone. Verizon should still get the Nexus, there is still some Spring 2010 left! Although I won't be paying any attention to it, I don't want to get a phone through Google, I want to be able to go into a store and get help, exchange, etc.
