Word on the street is that the HTC Droid Incredible will be released with Ice Cream Sandwich....   I wished we could have seen a larger display with the higher resolution but the device looks promising...

Looks nice! I like how they point out, "users who aren't concerned with having every single top-of-the line spec"...hopefully that will play a role in the price of the device because I heard initially the price on this was $299 w/ a 2 year contract, which, IMO, is waaaaay overpriced! Appears to be a solid phone on paper though...

If I had to guess I dont see anything that will merit the price change, basically the device has a number of performance features, excluding the screen size which is the main down side for me.  I dont see the screen resolution being increased on a smaller space does anything but make screen images smaller which limits readability.

Looks nice! There are sometimes where a 4.3" is just a bit too big for my hands. I know that I could never go back to a 3.2" screen like the Droid Eris. 4" screen might work for some users like myself.

I do wonder if it is going to use the standard SIM card size or the micro SIM card?

[Wildman]

Actually its not the size of screen size for me but the resolution more than anything, higher resolution on smaller screen just makes reading the screen more difficult for me because of mt old eye injury..

As for the SIM size I would guess that since mostly all new devices are switching over to the micro SIM this device will probably be using the micro also.

Kind of curious about the "Music Center" icon...although meaningless, I dig that the icon is red but the fact that its labeled "music center" leads me to wonder if there are any enhancements with the music player?

that's a SOLID looking device, but i hope verizon will get some other version of the HTC One lineup. i LOVED the small size of my original incredible. i've become accustomed to a larger screen now, but there is something to be said for a smaller handset. i've heard beats by dre is much more integrated throughout the entire system with sense 4.0 and ice cream sandwich (i think it was previously only part of the stock music player?). beats, sense 4.0. and ice cream sandwich on an HTC......sounds sweet. i would hope this would run closer to $149-199 due to the size and lack of the "top of the line" specs. i'd also really like to see HTC start putting REAL batteries in their devices (although, i guess with a more efficient Sense 4.0 and 4 inch screen, a 1700 may be plenty?)

1700 mAh is certainly better than what came with the Thunderbolt standard battery. What was that size again? 1400 mAh?

[AZSALUKI]

if that? lol..... i use the rezound's battery, which is 1700 (or 1750??) for the tbolt and it's pretty good so it should be acceptable on 4 inch display (particularly if sense 4.0 is as efficient as they say). i just see all of these other devices that seem to be making something closer to 2000 mah a bit more of the standard and wonder why htc can't do that?
