Red Incredible 2 to hit Verizon on November 24th?
Did you avoid the black original and the white redux of the Droid Incredible 2, because you wanted something just a little bit more spicy? Well, your patience may be rewarded as those dead-set on avoiding those colorless handsets may have another option come November 24th. That's when, per Droid Life, a red-hot edition of the existing incroyable goes on sale. Besides outwardly showing your affinity for Big Red, the third variant of Verizon's Incredible S will likely carry the same specs and price tag as the original. Either way, it won't be long until we'll find out for sure, but until then, reacquaint yourself with the Incredible 2's innards at the source link below.
HTC Incredible 2 prepares for imminent launch, Casio's Commando provides backup
If you'd been crushing hard on HTC's Incredible, cool that burning desire just a smidgen -- we've got evidence that suggests an imminent release of the Droid Incredible 2. Following its appearance in Verizon's internal system and leaked training docs, Best Buy has begun receiving accessories for the re-purposed Incredible S, ensuring you'll have all the requisite goodies at launch. Additionally, the folks at Droid Life report Verizon stores are receiving retail shipments of the device, along with Casio's G'zOne Commando. The expected release date is April 28th, so it looks like you'll be playing with those capacitive buttons soon enough. We've included a pic of the retail box after the break, and you'll find additional snapshots in the source link.
Leaked sign confirms Droid Incredible 2 will be a world phone, launch is likely imminent
We already had a pretty strong inkling that HTC's poorly hidden Droid Incredible 2 would be a world phone, and now we're even more certain (if that's even possible), thanks to this sign / billboard / flyer sent in by an anonymous tipster. What's interesting is how the handset's dual CDMA and GSM connectivity appears to be Verizon's biggest selling point, taking top billing over the front-facing camera and larger screen, which doesn't even get a nod. No word on when this open secret will launch on Big Red, but we say it's about time.
HTC Droid Incredible 2 shows up in Verizon's system
Well, look what we've got here! Seeing that HTC just introduced the Incredible S -- a world phone only available in the UK -- it was only a matter of time before the phone hit the stateside. A trusted tipster just hit us with screen shots of Verizon's internals containing a device dubbed HTC ADR6350. The other screenshot below has a listing for the HTC63503 with a description of "INCRD2." Putting two and two together, we'd say with great confidence that the Incredible 2 is coming to Verizon in the near future -- and we certainly wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with that "buttonless" shot we saw a while back. Stay tuned as we try and dig up more details... and in the meantime, peep the second screenshot after the break!
