Official HTC Droid Incredible Release Thread

I find I'm constantly cleaning fingerprints off my screen. I'm thinking about getting a screen protector to limit this. Should I get the ones that Verizon sells or a 3rd party (ie. Zagg invisibleSHIELD)? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Clarivue has the best anti glare/anti finger print screen protector I've ever used.

The ones Verizon sell are terrible. They still show all the fingerprints. Best one I found for the Droid are from these guys . Its actually a anti-finger print screen protector. Has a little bit of texture to it and does dull the screen a little but you wont see fingerprints.

Try touching the sound and holding your finger on it and see if you get an option to save it. That would be my guess.

The HTC Incredible feature I'm most curious about is reception, especially given HTC's track record on this. As far as I'm concerned I'd love the Sense UI overlay, but not at the price of giving up the Motorola Droid's other features -- the reception, the call quality, the slider keyboard, the battery life that's like a regular phone rather than a smartphone. Besides, my phone still looks new.

I think HTC would help themselves a lot if they'd pay more attention to reception but also if they'd offer an Android option with a physical keyboard.

I thought I'd regret going from a a physical keyboard (Samsung Rogue) to an onscreen keyboard, but I have to say it's actually more accurate it seems like once you get used to it. You can type with ease on it and I'm glad I didn't let this become the determining factor. I love this phone and am never looking back.

I agree that this phone is great. It is my first smart phone and I am used to a physical keyboard. But the keyboard on the Incredible is easy to get used to. I thought my fingers were to big to hit those tiny keys...... but not the case.

Now I just have to bite the bullet and buy a 32GB card for it.

From the reviews I have read, I am definitely purchasing the SGPStore.com anti-glare/fingerprint protector for the Inc.

[blacksrt4guy]

I actually havent missed the physical keyboard on the Droid either. And the Droids virtual keyboard sucks IMO. Mine was very inaccurate. This one is as close to the iPhones in accuracy that Ive seen yet.

They are awesome. I looked but I didnt see one for the Inc yet. I tried the clarivu ones and they dont even compare. I still have one for the Droid but the cut just isnt right for the Inc.

I was afraid of this as well but i have to say,even though it shows a lot of X1 and only 1 bar,it is better than my moto was.I get reception with this in places i couldn't with the moto.

Ok, played with the Incredible for about 2 days now. I have to say it is the best phone I have every had. I cannot believe how "Incredible" it really is. The battery life is so-so thus far, but seems to be getting better. As for the speed, yes it is fast. Much better than any of my WinMo phones. The thing with the reception bars is mostly hype. I have noticed that it gets the same reception as my old Omnia II despite showing less bars. The only thing I wish was that there were more medical apps for Android. It's ok, though because I use my Ipod Touch for med apps.

Who makes good cases for the Incredible? With choices other than plain black. I like the cases at the sgpstore, but looks like they're mostly made for iPhones.
