HTC DROID Incredible 2 Review

[nickn32]

Does this phone have gorilla glass on the front display?

[wirefly]

@nickn32 The DROID Incredible 2 should either have Gorilla Glass or something similar. I looked on Corning's Gorilla Glass site and the DROID Incredible was listed but not the Incredible 2. Therefore, I can't say *for sure* that the Incredible 2 has the brand of hardened glass called Gorilla Glass.

Can you get this in Canada?

[Fallou4Fun]

This phone supports WiFi connection, right?

[wirefly]

@Fallou4Fun Yes, the DROID Incredible 2 definitely supports WiFi. In fact, all Android phones support WiFi, as far as I know.

Bob at Wirefly

[Fallou4Fun]

@wirefly Thanks! I've heard of people complaining that a lot of the 4G phones have trouble connecting to WiFi neetworks so i was cruious if it affected any of the 3G phone aswell.

[lmagina7ion]

Hello! I need help.

Should I get this phone, the DROID Bionic, or the HTC Thunderbolt?

If none of those are good, what droid phones do you recommend?

[wirefly]

@lmagina7ion All three of those are good phones. The ThunderBolt and DROID Bionic have 4G data capability, while the Incredible 2 does not. For that reason, I recommend the ThunderBolt or DROID Bionic.

Bob at Wirefly

[SKriLLeX1987]

@lmagina7ion None of the Above. Thunderbolt has terrible battery life. Droid Incredible 2 is outdated, Droid Bionic isn't nearly as great as everyone expected over the year. I would HIGHLY recommend waiting for the Samsung Droid Prime/Nexus Prime. It's going to be the first phone with Ice Cream Sandwich Operating System and it's going to blow all other phones (this year) away.

[x3kyliente]

@SKriLLeX1987 No matter what phone you get, a new one will be released a month later, thus any phone will become outdated.

[noahblaze98]

Does this phone have swype?

[spededpat]

@noahblaze98 No, but there is a swype beta you can DL or buy SlideIT. I like SlideIT better personally

[mycaddi326]

<----anxiously waiting for the arrival of my wirefly package containing 2 of these phones (one for me and one for my mom) It's like Christmas Eve!! lol

[Ra1nxPhEnoM]

Ur not devilish....ur satanic :)

[xboxglitch13]

Don't let this dummy fool you it comes with 800MB INTERNAL STORAGE and 16gb micro SD card and BTW I love this phone. Had it for a month and love it.

[tekkai235]

hopefully incredible 3 passes alot of those other new phones when it comes out

[monkeydude106]

i went to the verizon store yesterday...and tried out the moto droid 3 and htc incredible 2 browsers....omg the incredible was faster surprisingly

[alohagirrl]

I personally think that wirefly review's are much better than any other review on youtube. I'm looking forward to buy this phone

[wirefly]

@alohagirrl Thanks!

Bob at Wirefly

[amoneykeough]

I love this love

[Mr420Dankbudz]

Is this phone for free when your contract is up with the first phone.

[wirefly]

@Mr420Dankbudz At the moment, the HTC DROID Incredible 2 is free for a contract upgrade. However, check Wirefly.com before buying to confirm the price, as things change often.

[toomuchjake1]

@wirefly okay thanks so much. im going to order the droid 3 late july or early august. i bet its amazing. :D

[toomuchjake1]

@wirefly ...........i was talking about the droid 3. do you think you'll have it in stock by early august? and how much will it cost? (sorry for the misunderstanding.)

[wirefly]

@toomuchjake1 Wirefly will definitely have the DROID 3 in stock by August, since it comes out on July 14. You shouldn't have to worry about that. As for the price, I don't want to show it here. Check Wirefly.com on the 14th so get the price. I honestly don't know what the price is at the moment.

If I show a price here, someone will come along in 4 months and say, "But it's 50 bucks less on eBay, bro!"

Bob at Wirefly

[toomuchjake1]

@wirefly thanks for anwering. i was going to buy the droid 2. but then i was like DAMN! droid 3. do you think they'll still be in stock by early august? cuz thats when im getting one. also how much do you think it will cost?

[wirefly]

@toomuchjake1 Wirefly has extra stock on the Motorola DROID 2 Global and expect to be able to sell them until the middle of August... although you're cutting it close! After that, the DROID 2 Global will go "end-of-life" and we'll no longer have it.

All I can say on the price is to check Wirefly.com, since prices change often for something like this. Good luck!

Bob at Wirelfy

[toomuchjake1]

@wirefly ..............so when is the site getting the droid 3?

[wirefly]

@toomuchjake1 Interesting question! Wirefly will have the Motorola DROID 3 for sale on July 14, and expect to have a video up on the phone on Monday, July 11. (The video is shot... I'm just waiting for the final release approval.)

Bob at Wirefly

[wirefly]

@themtaknowitall It's certainly too soon for an upgrade. The only think I can think of is to convince someone (family member or friend) to take the DROID Incredible off your hands and assume your payments. Then you get the DROID Incredible II with a new line. You might be able to work it out with a family plan. Your best bet would be to talk to someone at Wirefly and/or Verizon to see what can be done. Call Wirefly at 800-552-9000.

[BEASTLYxLEFTY]

Is there an app in the market to get Swype on this device?!

[wirefly]

@BEASTLYxLEFTY There is a Swype app in the Android Market, although I've had trouble getting it to run on one phone. However, you can try it and see what happens.

Bob at Wirefly

[BEASTLYxLEFTY]

@wirefly What is the app?

[wirefly]

@BEASTLYxLEFTY Huh... I found it for one phone but couldn't find it for another. I just looked for it using an HTC EVO 3D but couldn't find it. I did find it for a different phone -- don't remember which right now. I'll try to figure that one out.

Bob at Wirefly

[BEASTLYxLEFTY]

@wirefly okay thank you.

[hondakidcrf150]

is the incredible 2 better than the droid x?

[wirefly]

@hondakidcrf150 I think the HTC DROID Incredible 2 is better than the Motorola DROID X, but the Motorola DROID X2 is better than both. That said, the DROID X is a pretty nice phone for a great price. (It's usually free on Wirefly.)

Bob at Wirefly

[Facewaveproductions]

@hondakidcrf150 Yesss

[theIDKer]

And don't forget that the Droid Incredible 2 has physical Android buttons that rotate!

[theIDKer]

Will this phone support a 32GB MicroSD card? Larger than 8GB is ideal for me.

[YouHateGasgara]

My HTC ThunderBolt is better.

[TheStand08]

Please tell me the battery life on the incredible 2. I have heard mixed reviews about it. I'm deciding between the X2 or this and its near impossible! help.

[mycomputerismyfriend]

htc vevo- verizon evo?

[LEGOCAMARO]

i think it will be cool if u you could make a smackdown of the iphone 4 vs iphone 4s.

[raptorboyz960]

hi wirefly i wanted to know if you could make a smackdown of the droid incredible 2 vs iphone 4 using verizon?

[wirefly]

@raptorboyz960 That's a possibility... thanks for asking!

Bob at Wirefly

[raptorboyz960]

@wirefly thank you

[MNViking12]

@wirefly does this phone have swype?

[wirefly]

@MNViking12 No, the DROID Incredible 2 does not have Swype, at least not out of the box.

Bob at Wirefly

[antshagar]

No 1.3 Megapixle

[uchihaevil2]

Bob, you should do a schmackdown using the DROID Incredible 2 and the Droid 2 Global. BATTLE OF THE GLOBAL DEVICES!!!!

[wirefly]

@uchihaevil2 Neat idea... thanks for the suggestion!

Bob at Wirefly

[SquidKhaw]

Hey Bob you shocked me twice , 1st in this video around 6.50 and in the2nd 1 is the motorola defy review.. LOLzz im just kidding Bob.. great review.. love it!! hehe

[mrbayway1]

is this a 4 g phone?

[wirefly]

@mrbayway1 No. The HTC DROID Incredible 2 is a 3G (CDMA) phone.

Bob at Wirefly

[UltimateAcceleration]

Hey, I was wondering what camera do you use to record these review videos. The 720p quality is amazing.

[wirefly]

@UltimateAcceleration Thanks! We use a Canon Vixia HF S200 camcorder and it does a good job. The video quality it hard to believe for a camcorder costing less than $1,000. I occasionally post videos at 1080p, if they're short enough.

Bob at Wirely

[TheUploadHD]

Bob, you should do a schmackdown with the DROID Incredible 2 vs HTC Thunderbolt

[wirefly]

@TheUploadHD Maybe this week... we shall see if there's time.

[yankeeboy1231]

will the htc incredible 2 have skype video calling

[bmxxxxxxxx]

Any word on the HTC Merge? I'd love to hear what you guys think.

[wirefly]

@bmxxxxxxxx I've seen the Merge and have had a chance to use it a bit. However, there's no word from Verizon as to whether the Merge will be in its line-up. It looks like a good phone without a home at the moment.

Bob at Wirefly

[brickhouseAB1]

very nice video bob..do u mind doin a reveiw or some kind of battle on the htc droid incredible 2 and htc droid incredible s? thank you

[wirefly]

@ps3Masterify Then yes, it has the "attack of the killer clouds" if it's a cloudy day. And the windshield wiper if it's a rainy day.

Bob at Wirefly

[xPhYsCoSqUiRrEl]

I really want to get this phone ! It looks so nice !

[JF1nn]

Thanks for the vid, just ordered this phone on your site, pretty good price. I don't need the extra bulk and loss of battery life from the Thunderbolt, so this will be a great upgrade from my 2yr old iPhone 3GS.

Here's to hoping it gets Gingerbread soon.

[wirefly]

@ps3Masterify I'm afraid that I don't know what cinematic weather is. (I did see the movie "Twister" and that sounds like a possibility.) You should be able to do video chat with the Incredible 2, but I've not tried it. There are free apps like Qik and Tango that should work... but again, I haven't had a moment to try it.

[lolcat2123]

In1492 Columbus sailed the Ocean Blue. :DD

[wirefly]

@lolcat2123 I thought the same thing!

Bob at Wirefly

[spededpat]

or you can get a seidio 1750 mAh battery that will fit the incredible 1 without having to change the case :)

[coreyp17]

Bob is a good looking guy.

[wirefly]

@coreyp17 Thanks, mom!

[yankeeboy1231]

will htc incredible 2 have skype video calling

[killersmoove]

What happened to the droid charge?

[wirefly]

@killersmoove The official word on the DROID Charge is...

We have no comment.

Bob at Wirefly

[stathis30f]

Is it really incredible?

[wirefly]

@stathis30f Incredible is a fairly high standard. Let's say that you can bring it home to your mom and she would approve.
