hi. im considering the droid incredible as a possible droid i want to purchase for myself when my contract runs out with my other service provider. ive been researching alot about it and the droid x (another choice) and wanted to ask about some new things that have come up that i would like to know more about.

 

1) lately ive been noticing more and more about these extended batteries for the droid incredible that take it from the 1300 mah to 2150 or this big one, the 3500. the 2150 is on the verizon website and stuff while the others are from amazon and other websties. first of all is this safe to have on a phone like this? does having a bigger battery and somethign go wrong with teh phone due to it ruin the warranty or something (thats assuming im using the proper extended battery from verizon store)? is getting a extended battery from another company or store a bad idea, and if so why?

and if any more information about the extended batteries that you could share with me would be great also.

 

2) have there been any great issues about the droid incredible that is outside the normal (glithces, restarts, and so forth) that one should consider?

 

3) there has been something on the internet about a different way of charging the phone so to get better battery life out of it. i think it goes charging it then unplug the phone then turn off phone then plug back in for 20 mins then finally phone charged. is that really necessary or something? is that a problem for the phone right now?

 

and lastly

 

4) does the droid incredible get the same kind of apps all the other phones do or does it get special ones just for it?

 

thanks for your help

1.  We recommend the extended batteries that we offer, as those batteries are  quality tested and come with a manufacturers warranty.  We do not recommend batteries from third party vendors, because unapproved batteries may damage the device and can void the manufacturer's warranty.  If the battery is offered by HTC and a supported product, you can check with the manufacturer to see if it would be covered with the Manufacturer's Warranty.  The Extended 2150mAh battery is the battery that we recommend.  That battery will not affect the Manufacturer's Warranty.  It actually comes with a 1 year manufacturers warranty on it.  The 2150mAh battery is basically the same battery, as the standard battery, it just has a lower the battery voltage discharge over a set time interval making it last longer.  


2.  Issues with the HTC Droid Incredible are pretty much like any Smartphone device, there are problems that come up, but those are usually fixed with updates.  Because you are getting  a later build of the device, it is unlikely that you would encounter any significant issues with the device.  


3.  There is no need to charge the battery in any other way than the recommended way.  Newer batteries are more resistant to overcharging and will charge quickly. 


 

4.  The HTC Droid Incredible would  have access to the Android Market Place.   It would  have access to over 10,000 applications  on the Android Market.
