I'm no English teacher, and I was thinking the same thing.

My local store sold out the very first day - more inventory coming on May 20th... They have at least a 1/2 dozen with "security cables" on kiosks within the store - I haven't be able to get close to one yet on my 3 visits there. The lines are very deep! My Costco has a "dummy" in - but the sales clerk stated he doesn't know why they sent it as to his knowledge Costco won't be selling the Incredible (at least not in his store). They do sell the Moto Droid, and he said sales are posting record numbers (this is a reseller booth within the Costco store). His reason for great sales - they give FREE chargers (AC and car) with every Droid sold!

Me - I'm still hanging in there with my Moto Droid - no Incredible for at least the next few weeks... mikey

I tested one in the Verizon store and it was blinding fast but then again I wass connected to there WiFi.

Easy enough to disconnect the wifi and use the cell towers, if it was an activated phone with a working number.

The only envy I've got is for the camera. Some of the other hardware is impressive but for me only the camera is what is lacking on the Droid. I understand bluetooth voice activation is an issue for some but I don't use that. Is that true for all of Android or just the moto-droid?

I can't get a new phone every 6 months, and the droid will do meanwhile.

Non-functional display phones will only hurt the sales of this product. I'd rather see someone pick up a functional Android HTC phone than grab one with a different OS. And remember, the Droid has had its share of returned phones too.

My hobby is photograpy Greg McCary. with the price and size of some of the new cameras coming out I wouldn't depend on a phone for serious stuff. But phones have certainly gotten better.

I was at a local verizon store Friday buying my better half an Eris for Mother's Day (which she said she didn't want anything but her old dumb phone, but now she LOVES it, btw) and the salesman was really suggesting I upgrade to an Incredible. I wanted to tell him I was running OC @ 1.25ghz, but I didn't dare . Anyway, I asked him if he'd ever seen the Droid solving the rubik's cube and he said no, so I told him to google it sometime. Before I finished my sentence he had whipped out his Incredible, and had the video running smoothly and full screen. We watched it as he finished setting up my wife's Eris.

I won't lie...the camera is the biggest difference. Sense's allure wears off quick, and the speed can be compensated with by overclocking.

a friend of mine got the incredible and i have my droid running at 1250mhz (1.25ghz) and his incredible did the same tasks substantially faster.

i even did this with a fresh rom installed and had no 3rd party apps installed yet.

I've got them both here, and run them side by side. Overclocking closes the gap between the two. Linpack support it as well, with the Droid coming in at 1k higher score than the Inc. Of course, thats a generic bench.

Yeah i really disagree with the statement the an OC'd Droid is better than the incredible. I OC'd my Droid and while it was initially fast on a fresh ROM install over the course of a week or so it seemed to bog down substantially. Not to mention the overheating caused by it. Can't help but feel that OC'd Droids may run fine now but it'll eventually wear them out faster. That's just my opinion of course. My Inc runs like a ferrari while the Droid seems like a Hummer. Still good and solid, just not as fast. I'm sure others may have different experiences but that's how it seems to me.

So..who made that statement?


I certainly didn't.

That wasn't even taken out of context as nobody even said that.

Someone or some article had posted saying in benchmark tests a Droid OC'd to 1,000 mhz out performed an Incredible.

In this thread?


I can accurately say that Linpack does perform better on an OC'ed Droid, and the GPU is faster. But as for it being faster overall in real world performance...I dont see anyone saying that here.

Not sure where it was posted...I remember reading it a couple days ago.
