Droid Incredible? Does it live up to it's name?

Hello everyone! I figure I could use some opinions on this matter.
My t-mobile contract expires in October, at which I will then be converting to Verizon.
So my question is, should I go ahead and get the Droid Incredible or should I wait for Verizon to get their Iphone in January and purchase that? Any and all Input will be greatly appreciated! Thanks :)

Save your money and don't bother with a data plan. They're so freaking over-priced I can't believe anyone uses smartphones.

I have the Droid Eris (switched from my blackberry) IMO Blackberry and Droid are as good as it gets. I have had literally not one single problem w/ my Eris. Pretty much anyone I know that has a droid is not disappointed and loves it. I would say the incredible probably does indeed live up to it's name. If not you could always go w/ the Droid Eris. I'm a firm believer in droid and if that's the route you choose to go I'm sure you will be a believer as well. Hope this helps!

Cheers

i have the first droid and i LOVE IT!! so i can only imagine how great the incredible is BUUUUUTT... if u like big phones get the even newer droid X thats coming out this month! 4.3 in screen, HDMI output, 8 megapixel camera, 720p video recorder and much more, i want that phone soooooo bad but im not eligible for an upgrade anytime soon and dont want to pay the full price for it.

The Incredible is a really nice phone. I would get the upcoming Droid X if I were on Verizon.

I don't even use email on my computer anymore and I'm able to browse the web as much as I like, so it's worth it to me. It's my phone, camera and mp3 player as well as the web browser and email. It's a small price for me to pay to have access to whatever I need when I need it.

I :love: my HTC Incredible! I've had mine since the day before launch day.

However, they are back-ordered on them, so you may have to wait on one. The next Verizon Droid is the Motorola X which has a larger screen. However, the Incredible is perfect for me, so even if I could switch right now - I wouldn't!

Alright thanks everybody for the replies! You've helped me make up my mind! Plus, with the problems AT&T has with the newer Iphones I think i'm going to go the Droid route. So now I'll just compare the incredible and X and see which fits me best! Thanks again ;)

I hope that I'll be able to tell you about it next Tuesday. I hope it's as good as everyone is saying.

The Incredible isn't shipping until August 3rd according to Verizon's site. The X should be available on the 15th (I believe that is the release date), it's looking like a kick-arse phone too...big but kick-arse!
If you want a physical keyboard the Moto Droid 2 is coming out in late summer (according to rumor). You could always get an original Moto Droid too, it's a great phone.
The iPhone has been "coming to Verizon" forever, don't hold your breath on that January date ;)

Having 4 kids with 3 of them all around the country, the data plan is great for me. I'm also a little techno-geek and enjoy all of the bells and whistles. I also use the navigation system in my phone instead of buying a seperate GPS. Just last seek, the wife and I went to Glouscester Mass to do a little whale watching. Instead of renting a GPS from the rental car company, I just used my phone. There are many useful tasks that I do every day from my smart phone, I wouldn't want to live without it.

Your mileage may vary and I don't claim these phones are for everyone, but for me, they're priceless.

A little too large for me and I'm somewhat afraid of it's durability.

Exactly my point of view. You don't know what you've got until you count on that little phone every waking moment of your day!

That's the date to expect shipment if you buy now. I ordered my Droid Inc last month and it's still expected to ship on the 13th with overnight delivery on the 14th.

I'd be willing to bet that with the Droid X coming out on the 15th, the Incredible will become available again before they're anticipating. I talked to the manager at my local Verizon store and he told me to check with him after the 15th to see about in-store availability. Some of the people who have been waiting on the Incredible may change their order to the X, freeing up some of the Incredible inventory. At least that's what I'm hoping... :D
