Droid Incredible specs confirmed on Verizon site

Yes, good people of Engadgetland, we finally have an official spec sheet for the eagerly awaited Incredible handset. A 3.7-inch OLED touchscreen leads the way, with an 800 x 480 resolution, which will offer the full Google Experience on Android version 2.1. That sounds remarkably like a refashioned Nexus One to us, even down to the 1GHz Snapdragon chip inside, but where the Droid Incredible differs is in its inclusion of Sense UI (à la the Desire) and an 8 megapixel autofocusing camera. We're also seeing GPS and 8GB of integrated memory -- expandable to 24GB via MicroSD cards -- on this list, which can be found in its entirety at the source link below. Not long to wait now.

[Thanks, Henry]

Pedobear Seal Of Approval!

@Pedobear

uhm im not sure if i want the phone now

[r34p3r Posted Apr 15th 2010 2:20AM]

@Pedobear

I wonder how this will compare to the HTC EVO? I know the specs, but is this really Verizon's answer, or is it not as beefy?

That internal storage sure sounds nice, though. Can anyone remind me how much internal storage the EVO has?

[pedmart Posted Apr 15th 2010 2:39AM]

@r34p3r How it compares to the Evo?... Verizon>> Sprint. and I'm a sprint user.. but the reception is not as good... and i'm in ny

[p0p0 Posted Apr 15th 2010 2:52AM]

@pedmart Piggybacking on Pedobear posts are like touching everyone one he's ever touched.

So have a seat over there...

[WillSmith Posted Apr 15th 2010 2:55AM]

@r34p3r the EVO has a whopping 1GB of internal memory!

[Pedobear Posted Apr 15th 2010 3:01AM]

@p0p0

this is true

[staticjethro Posted Apr 15th 2010 3:09AM]

@WillSmith
You got it twisted. Evo has 1GB of ROM no Internal storage. Incredible has 512MB of ROM and 8GB of internal storage.

[SoCoolCurt Posted Apr 15th 2010 3:11AM]

@r34p3r

i think the EVO's thing is the screen size (like 4.3" or something) and the WiMax.

[Seven Posted Apr 15th 2010 4:09AM]

@SoCoolCurt

As well as video calling and 720p video recording, although the incredible might have the hd recording it doesn't say so in these specs. The only thing better here is the internal storage, which i'll gladly trade for the better screen, battery, wimax etc. etc.

[Jean Marc Posted Apr 15th 2010 5:36AM]

@Pedobear is it worth waiting for a bigger screen i really really want the evo because that screen is massive and sexy and MD has 4g, but with that internal storage i might be willing to switch to verizon

[Invader Par Posted Apr 15th 2010 6:31AM]

You all missed the point!!! They just confirmed Engadgetland!!!!!

Any chance of announcing availability, Vlad?

[r34p3r Posted Apr 15th 2010 8:04AM]

@pedmart

I'm a Sprint user, and it differs here where I live.

My sprint phone receives 6 full bars where I live, whereas my friend's Verizon service only gets 3 bars. My call quality is crystal clear, and I haven't had a dropped call in 3 years.

You can't say that until you have experienced every single angle there is to Verizon. Yes, they have a strong network, but there are still blank spots. Overall I am happy with what Sprint offers me. Obviously I would have to be, to be with them for nearly 4 years....

[patp Posted Apr 15th 2010 9:07AM]

@pedmart dont forget the HDMI out and front camera everyone brings up but no one will really use. I want the evolution BTW but these things are useless

[patp Posted Apr 15th 2010 9:08AM]

@Pedobear evo * fuck my phones autocorrect

[angermeans Posted Apr 15th 2010 9:23AM]

@staticjethro this is my question as I was thinking last night. Why even have the internal 8 gb? It would be great if you could still have a 32 gb SD card but from this article you can't. Correct me if I am wrong but how do you buy 24 gb SD cards? That would mean the top memory would be 16gb + 8gb internal.

[Calvini Posted Apr 15th 2010 9:47AM]

@angermeans

Unless you're being sarcastic, 16 (sd card)+8 (internal) =24. that's the max you can have according to those specs

[Eternity Posted Apr 15th 2010 9:53AM]

@Pedobear

EVO completely obliterates this phone and so does the Galaxy S. Verizon is a little late to the party... or should I say early?

[sycamore714 Posted Apr 15th 2010 10:27AM]

@r34p3r

Way to cannibalize the nexus one sales. Its a win-win for HTC but I am not sure if Google will be happy with this.

Who would by a nexus one vs Incredible both on Verizon when you have this with 8 M camera with most of the phone being identical. Unless you explicitly hate sense UI.

[daaper Posted Apr 15th 2010 10:42AM]

@Eternity

So you're saying there's a better phone that comes out after this one? No way!

When is there ever NOT a "better" phone on the horizon? Electronics almost always get better / cheaper if you wait, but I've got to get a new phone some time and I'm excited about this one...so, Incredible it is!

[Branhower Posted Apr 15th 2010 12:41PM]

@Pedobear I'm going to gamble on you liking that 8MP camera, right?

[MilitantRabbit Posted Apr 15th 2010 2:11PM]

@sycamore714 With the hype the Nexus One's been getting, it seems whenever it comes to VZW, it's gonna cost 300 dollars.

[selenakuiler Posted Apr 16th 2010 1:48PM]

@Pedobear Wait, it says it’s both a Google Experience device (and allows Google OTA updates) and has Sense UI aren’t those mutually exclusive? It also says navigation using VZNavigator, what about Google Maps Nav? Opinions. http://j.mp/htc-incredible-impressions

[forHim247 Posted Apr 15th 2010 2:07AM]

Incredible!

[JW Posted Apr 15th 2010 2:29AM]

@forHim247
Incredible! Amounts of radiation that is. At 1.4 SAR, might as well put you head in a microwave.

[Greenverde Posted Apr 15th 2010 2:36AM]

@forHim247

Ah, that reminded me of Einstein from the original C&C Red Alert, and how worthless he was in-game.


Wow, I just geeked out... bad.

[sonicyoof Posted Apr 15th 2010 2:57AM]

@forHim247

What would really be incredible is a keyboard.

[forHim247 Posted Apr 15th 2010 3:03AM]

@JW If the microwave has a 1ghz snapdragon and sense ui I might just consider it. ;)

[JS Posted Apr 15th 2010 3:22AM]

@forHim247

It has no front facing camera. Fail.

[Dpierre Posted Apr 15th 2010 3:48AM]

I see what you did there...

[pickleJar Posted Apr 15th 2010 4:48AM]

@JW - Not too bad. A lot of phones on Cnet's list are about the same. Motorola Droid is 1.49. Still prolly not a good idea to dual wield these phones with tin foil wrapped around your head.

Gotta die sometime...

[darex Posted Apr 15th 2010 6:47AM]

@pickleJar iPhone's SAR is a fraction of that, I should add:

iPhone's SAR is a respectable 0.974.

[sabgadget Posted Apr 15th 2010 8:48AM]

@JW

Who knows, that may be helpful hahaha:

[tcc3 Posted Apr 15th 2010 8:52AM]

@darex

Maybe that's why it drops calls like they're hot.

[iDamien Posted Apr 15th 2010 10:29AM]

@JW

Please, please, PLEASE, do not tell me you actually believe a cellphone gives off that much radiation to the point where it's hazardous to your health.

[JW Posted Apr 18th 2010 1:28AM]

@iDamien
Being the first generation users of this tech we have no idea what effects it has on our health, but I'm not gonna lie, those radiation levels have me worried. The Moto Droid is the worst offender and I stay away from phones over 1.1 SAR.

[WillSmith Posted Apr 15th 2010 2:08AM]

yes! 8=====D

[WillSmith Posted Apr 15th 2010 2:10AM]

@WillSmith wait only expandable to 16gb of microSD?!

[Zachary Posted Apr 15th 2010 2:15AM]

@WillSmith
It will be 32GB of expandable MicroSD, anything coming out now supports that, even the Eris and Devour supports 32GB.

[glenskey Posted Apr 15th 2010 2:16AM]

@WillSmith
is THAT the pedobear seal of approval logo?

[Nerdtalker Posted Apr 15th 2010 2:23AM]

@WillSmith

8==D = 8 GB
8=====D = 16 GB
8==========D = 32 GB

I think that's what he was trying to say

[staticjethro Posted Apr 15th 2010 2:31AM]

@Nerdtalker
That's what she's tryin to say

[michaspi Posted Apr 15th 2010 2:34AM]

@Nerdtalker:
Those are very thin shafts; any longer and they'll resemble spaghetti.

[WillSmith Posted Apr 15th 2010 2:44AM]

@Zachary but it says up to 16gb on that pic of the specs?

[shorties Posted Apr 15th 2010 11:39AM]

@Nerdtalker

Its got a max of 24 (16GB is its max for micro SD + the internal 8GB)

[I Fling Poo Posted Apr 15th 2010 2:08AM]

I guess I finally found a phone to replace my LG Dare with. Jeese thanks for getting with the program Verizon

[WOPR Posted Apr 15th 2010 2:10AM]

Another Android phone without a physical keyboard. Guess my wife will stay on her BlackBerry for a while longer.

[I Fling Poo Posted Apr 15th 2010 2:11AM]

@WOPR
droid?

[WillSmith Posted Apr 15th 2010 2:12AM]

@WOPR how bout the original droid?

[kojo87 Posted Apr 15th 2010 2:42AM]

@WOPR my thoughts exactly. i'll be sticking to my Bold 9700 until i see a good Android phone (or Windows Phone 7) with a physical keyboard. keeping my eye on the Samsung Moment 2 for now.
