Why is the Incredible better than the Droid?

It does not have 8gb of ram. It has 8gb of internal storage, and only 512mb of ram, and not all of it is usable yet.

True. Should've put it that way. Thanks for the correction. The fact that the internal storage isn't totally usable is why Verizon started including 2GB MicroSD cards (like the Droid, the Incredible has a MicroSD card slot for adding storage).
 
there is a world of difference in the build quality.

Absolutely, Motorola builds to Military Specifications.

Link?......

Results for"military specifications"


That's what sold me on my StarTac years ago. I've not owned anything but Motorola since. As a quality assurance specialist for the DOD I witness: drop tests, vibration, humitidy, salt spray, accelerated environomental, and other tests for supplies ranging from fasteners to jet engines. We (taxpayers) pay a lot for the stuff, but our guys and gals overseas deserve it. :lifting:
 
To answer the original question:

The Incredible:

  • has a vibrant screen that uses less power.
Really? So far evidence says this is untrue.

As a droid user, I got to play around with my friend's incredible and here's my opinion:

I thought Incredible would have better screen because of it being OLED, and droid standard LED screen, but it wasn't any spectacular than that of droid's. I felt my droid had better quality display because on incredible, I actually saw the little dots around the graphics - which is usually apparent in low-res screens...it was weird.

I played around with Incredible, and it's definitely a lot snappier and sense UI is pretty cool but droid can overcome this easily by custom mods and OCing. Also I hated using the virtual keyboard as it took up 30% or 100% of the screen when you are trying to use it -- may be it's just me because i'm a physical keyboard person.

anyways, it looks like i'll be keeping my droid for a while and upgrade from droid->incredible doesn't seem to be worth it, at least for me.
 
I love how those who have Droids trash the Incredible to make themselves feel better.... haha joking! I had the Droid for 30 days and exchanged it for the Incredible. Have not regretted the choice yet!!! Both are GREATphones and it is really personal preference! If you like heavy phones made of metal with a physical keyboard (suspect keyboard) than go for the Droid! If your like me and prefer lighter phones without a keyboard go for the HTC. They are both Android and they are both excellent phones!
 
I like the way Sense UI looks at times. But I want the option of switching to it if I want. Not as the standard. Having a thin phone and a hard keyboard with a metal encasing? And all the features of several other phones? IMO, Droid is closer to achieving that multi facet personality then any other android phone mostly due to the wide support base and its durable hardware. Until an LTE/4G Android phone comes out, all 2.1 Android OS phones are subjective using using Droids 2.0 platform as the standard starting point.

My jealous bug is the processor the Incredible starts with @ around 750mhz. Right now, OClocking from what I hear is not perfect via different exps I see on this forum.
So the Incredible wins there.

OLED? Ehh. that fails for me if you cant see outside. What's the point of a cell phone if you cant see what your inputting?

Ehh ill wait.
Ill wait on an LTE/4g phone.
:]

750mhz? Try 1ghz. Also the version of Android used a standard is not related to whether its LTE or 4G.
 
Not sure why everyone says you cant see the HTC screen in the sun. My HTC screen is way better then my droid was outdoors. And as far as a heavy metal phone, it feelsgood for some in the hand but any phone dropped will get damaged- period! Also the heavier the device= the more force it impacts the ground with. I have seen many pics of fallen Droids on this forum and they have not faired to well. Yeah they still work but they still have physical damage. I carry insurance just in case!
