We're missing that
crazy contoured back this time around, but otherwise, HTC's so-called
Incredible for Verizon is looking as real and ready for action as it ever has in these latest shots leaked over at
Phandroid. It's hard to say whether these crimson bits are going to make it to production -- they seem a little too spectacular for a high-end device that Verizon will want to appeal to the masses, but then again, red
is Verizon's color, so who knows? We've seen from countless prototypes in the past (Moto's
Morrison comes immediately to mind) that they're often given special colors, presumably to identify bandits trying to expose them as anonymously as possible -- and we're tentatively going to say we dig it here.
AT&T's gone wacky on us in the past, but is Verizon hip enough to ship a phone this edgy? Release rumors span from March to May at this point, so we'll know within the next couple months what's what.

Incredible!
@Nitesh : I want a phone called the 'Inconceivable!'
@trwrt
I don't think-a you know what dat word means.
Looks like a nice phone, pretty sure it's just the N1 guts in a slightly different form factor.
Whoever picked that red should be kicked in the knee.
@treats My vote was for "Credible" but they went with "Incredible" instead.
@trwrt Keep it next to your balls long enough and you'll be partly there.
@trwrt dont know if you meant it but awesome princess bride reference
Not so Incredible with 256MB RAM
@HerbieDerb People using the iPhone 3GS don't seem to complain about that amount of RAM...
@Nitesh Because iPhone OS is optimized to run on 256mb of RAM much better than other operating systems..
And there's a difference between a phone that was being manufactured a year ago and a phone that is just about to be manufactured.
@treats Yeah - you'd be wrong. It's not an N1 in a different form factor. It's been widely reported to have only 256mb of RAM and, as of today, possibly only an 850MHz ARM (vs. the 1GHz reported earlier).
Either way, I can live with the red BECAUSE I'LL PUT IT IN A CASE ANYWAY. This is my next phone.
That doesn't look like a 4.3" screen like the HD2...
@Nitesh If you were lucky enough to see this video before it got removed (last week), it is clear that this phone IS the Incredible. Packing along with that Snapdragon makes it more incredible. More: http://bit.ly/the-incredible-htc-updated
@Nitesh
What does the 3GS have to do with this phone?
Lol. Yes, if optimized means one app at a time. I guess that makes every feature phone "optimized".
@HerbieDerb I was just responding to the guy who said it doesn't have enough RAM.
@trwrt Thats inconcievable! Lol that was a good movie.
@Nitesh So Verizon's gonna get this and the N1?? Will this be the lower end android offering?
@EMOburrito
Now what I don't get here is why I was downranked for quoting the movie?
@Reisa
I gave you a positive point- I'm not sure many people know the Princess Bride. If they didn't, they may have thought you were being rude.
Either way, my post is pointless:)
1st ! Maybe the proof it really exists ?
looks hawt
Arf almost !
My eyes are playing tricks on me, that light makes it look like there's a joystick popping out of the bottom of the that phone.
What?
@Prevacator The eyes played tricks on you and the editors! Those are not "RED" bits, they are chrome with some funky lighting!
@Prevacator I think I may already have submitted this but it's not showing up...
The editors' eyes are playing tricks on them too....those are not "Red" bits but just chrome accents with some funky lighting playing tricks on someone!
@tbtregenza
no dude I think that is red.
Reminds me of the black parachute pants with red zippers I owned in 1984
@tbtregenza Dude, no way: http://phandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/incredible1-550x412.jpg
@tbtregenza
Yeah, my iPhone buttons look red in the right lighting too...
@tbtregenza
Not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about light circles/reflections showing up on the phone. The one on the right side (bottom edge of the front face) looks like it's jutting up, and out of the face plate.
That's quite an odd illusion.
@Prevacator
I noticed that too.
Im seeing Red!
Dear Mr. Blurrycam: You've almost figured it out. Next time try locking focus on the object in the foreground instead of reflections.
If those are actually red accents, i think it looks silly. Lets hope its chrome... still not moving away from the iPhone til the new win mo comes out. I'll then jump ship from AT&T ASAP.
Are the people taking all this pictures just "camera-challenged"? How hard is it to take a decent face-on picture of something right in front of you?
If HTC or Verizon wants us to give them an honest opinion of a forthcoming phone, then show it to us and we'll tell you whether to kill it or not. But we sure can't tell much by the blurry almost pictures!
@Guardsix6 Um... I seriously doubt, that they want your opinion. The person that took this probably did so, at the risk of being terminated, hence the weird side view
@1ofdakoolkidz
And the battery cover missing. It probably had a serial number or something engraved on it that would incriminate the employee.
Nexus One or Incredible? Hmmmm I really need a new phone my BB Curve is falling apart
@LowSky
the ONLY two reasons you would want an incredible is because of sense UI, or verizon (which is irrelevant, because the nexus one is coming out on verizon soon)... or unless you like the red... i guess.
@masta vaan Don't forget price... this thing could be priced under the N1.
At least use a nice red. That looks almost orange.
Apple is gonna sue HTC once again:
not only they dare to produce and sell better, cooler and cheaper devices than those sanctioned by El Jobo, but now they even pretend to add red accents to their wares?
This is the proof that they are closet commies too.
@Plexus
Last time numbers were released iPhone sold 2x more than all Android phones combined. Including the fact that Verizon has been having buy one Droid and get one free. Apple could easily have such stunts to artificially increase their numbers. Last quarter both Att and Apple out performed HTC, verizon and motorola significantly. The iPhone is a reason AT&T is now worth more than verizon and why htc stock hasn't really taken off. It's very hard for htc to actually make money from their phones.
I found a video of it on some russian site: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oavMtUWDBTM
@werty1432k
I have been Russian-rolled.
@Hoag Love it :p
Come on HTC supersonic -- show yourself.
@godwheel
Dats wat im waintn for. The real monster!!!!
Those red accents look tacky to me, but could be part of verizons strategy. Droid is for men, pre for women and this for youth....
AT&T is really starting to lag behind when it comes to smartphones.
