Droid Incredible

We've pitted several of the latest phones against each other to see whose features would come out on top. Although I use an iPhone 4 myself, I'm not ashamed to say that I'm crushing on the Droid X pretty hard right now — it has some amazing features, plus it's due to get the Android 2.2 update, which will make it even smarter.

But the Droid X and iPhone 4 aren't the only smartphones on the block. Wondering which phone is right for you? Check out my feature comparison chart, and take a look back at all of our vs. posts after the break.

In case you were still on the fence on which Droid model to buy — Droid X vs. Droid Incredible — this bit of news may make it harder to decide. Rumor has it that the Droid Incredible will be getting an over-the-air update this month that will enable 720p recording and add a mobile hotspot app to allow tethering to other devices, two things that were missing from the Incredible's initial launch.

The Droid Incredible is a pretty powerful device to begin with, and adding these features will put it in closer competition with the iPhone 4 and HTC EVO 4G, making the latest batch of smartphones the best ever.

Yesterday's Droid X announcement left a lot of Verizon customers eagerly anticipating its arrival in July. But at $200, the introductory price is the same price as the HTC Droid Incredible, which hit stores in April and promptly sold out. If you're an existing Verizon customer due for an upgrade this year, or if you're thinking of signing a new Verizon contract, check out a side-by-side comparison of the two phones after the jump.

Initial buzz behind Verizon's HTC Droid Incredible has been so positive, it's being cited as one of the reasons behind Verizon's decision not to carry the Nexus One and perhaps a partial reason behind Google closing its online Nexus One store.

According to Verizon's website, Droid Incredible phones ordered today will ship by June 4. And according to Verizon's CEO, 100,000 Droid Incredible phones were sold in the first two days it was available.

The Droid Incredible runs Android 2.1 and features a 3.7-inch touchscreen and 8-megapixel camera, making it one of the most advanced phones in the Verizon lineup.

Another Android phone is coming to Verizon. The HTC Droid Incredible will officially land in stores on April 29, with preorders starting Monday. The phone is retailing for $200 with a two-year contract. Phandroid leaked details of the Droid Incredible earlier this week, but now the release has been confirmed. HTC's latest device will run Android 2.1 with HTC's Sense user interface. And unlike Verizon's similarly-named phones (the Motorola Droid and the HTC Droid Eris), the Droid Incredible has a slim design that makes it look more like HTC's Nexus One.

Other features include a 3.7-inch touchscreen, 8-megapixel camera, and an optical mouse in place of a trackball.
