Review: Verizon HTC Incredible

[T8sTEtheRAinbO]

The screen on the phone is llike a mirror and mine is 3D, SO AWESOME <3

[YoungKidLeo]

My headset input don't work I think cus water went inside help???

[elirocksyou]

im getting one next month

[SneakerNERD22]

I get my incredible tommorow... And damn dude, I live not too far from you

[bubu2172]

For me this phone is way better than my thunderbolt

[racequad250]

Can't wait to get this. Even though it's a year old it's still one of the best looking phones as far as features go.



[merdoc81]

@racequad250 You have made a great choice! I got mine when they first came out and it still kicks ass! True its a year old, but really the main difference between it and other current offerings is 4G capability and some few do have dual core cpu's. 4G would be awesome, IF it was available in your area and its not where I live. In fact we just got 3G only a year ago. So personally its a waste of my money to get a 4G phone right now but as for 3G is concerned this phone still rocks!

[MrFercho1109]

i like turtles...

yeah... i really do...

[c8h8e8c8k8m8e8o8u8t]

im getting a smartphone in like a week or so im trying to choose between htc incredible or droid x any thoughts?

[TheAwesomenarb]

@xgreen55 get the htc incredible because the droid 2 already had the option to buy it used on the second day it came out because people didn't like it as much and htc incredible has nit that many used ones for sale out there

[likeewoahhh95]

@mobilitytoday The fact that they have flash isn't exactly hidden or secret, they just don't really advertise it. Probably because they don't want to say "oh yeah, we have flash on this phone" when it doesn't work well.

[merdoc81]

@likeewoahhh95 You do know any Android powered will have Adobe Flash not just the Incredible right? Anyway my Incredible runs Adobe Flash 10.3 just fine!

[latios1500]

@nmichal85 HTC Incredible

[xgreen55]

Im thinking of getting a droid and im stuck between the Droid 2 and the Incredible so what do all of you think is the best choice.

[dumbanddanish]

Great review, i'm sick of switching from video to video cuz nobody has done a long interview... GREAT JOB!

Hope i'll get my hands on tis phone! :)

[nmichal85]

Iphone 4 or HTC Incredible ? ?

[danieldude19]

@nmichal85 if you have verizon, the Incredible is 30 dollars now at walmart. so if that helps you decide

[SolidCodec]

do they plan to make a 4G version of this phone?

[ware1293]

@SolidCodec They're making a DROID Incredible 2 now.

[KyleABD]

@ware1293 REALLY??? I thought that's only in Europe?

[ware1293]

@KyleABD Nope, Verizon has a DROID 3, DROID Incredible 2, And a DROID X2 in their system so we'll be expecting those sometime this year.

[KyleABD]

@ware1293 i just brought home my incredible today......

[likeewoahhh95]

@SolidCodec Probably not, since the new HTC thunderbird is coming out as Verizon's first 4g phone.

[mookeychase0907]

Verizon doesn't support hulu.com I found out in August when I got my phone and was unable to watch.I called Verizon immediately and asked what was the problem the CS rep said " oh sorry we don't support hulu.com that's nothing but copyright infringement" I said huh!? what does Verizon care? After she made that statement she didn't want to talk about it anymore.Verizon phones give a foreign ip address so you cant log/watch hulu bcuz it's not for use outside of the US. I was heated.

[KnoshayinShish]

I know it doesn't mean much, but when you said you have never opened it you lied. The battery doesn't come in the phone it comes in the case. Besides that good review, I have the phone and ABSOLUTELY love it.

[laxerboy513]

ive been to mcds in south brunswick jersey i live right bye you XD

[SuperTeenaB]

NOTHING wrong with HIS nails!!!!!

[MetalShreader]

i like the intro :D

[cguymartin]

dude, u could really use a manicure!

[TheMarbarian]

Will the HTC Incred interface with MAC?

[MetalShreader]

@TheMarbarian what do you mean. like a mac computer? just get an iphone dude, they're on verizon now.

[McTheBeast7]

very good video

[cristianoalejandro1]

guys i have a question i found this phone they havent called to get it back so i was wondering how can i unlock the phone so i can use it like camera etc but not connect it to make calls

[st3v3yb01]

Getting this phone for X-Mas, is it work the $200?

[daxhaas]

@st3v3yb01 you can now get this phone for free at newegg, but if you insist on paying $200 i'd have to say it's still worth it :)

[desnchris06]

i just got this yesterday, my husband has one and my father in law and mother in law also have one. we love them! mine came with a white back and a black back. i have the whtie on and i love the way it looks different. I just love this phone! only downer, is the battery life. but it's just too good of a phone to bitch about having to charge it lol

[InSaNiTyReiGnZ]

Is there anyway I can get it unlocked to use on a different network?

[shabinelle]

I had a simple phone and when I got this one I was intimidated. I played with the phone for a few days and I learned a little and after this presentation I learned a lot more. I am having fun with the phone and it blows my mind the things this little phone can do!!

[InSaNiTyReiGnZ]

Is there any way I can get it unlocked to use on a different network?

[icecoldr1]

What a horrible phone. After a couple of months I have gone through 3 phones. 2 of which were REFURBISHED (They said refurbished was better). Oh were they wrong. So I payed for a brandnew phone, got 3 phones that didnt work. Random loss of Connection (Connection to everything), Blown speakers (didnt really use it, first speaker blew on an update), and the constant restart/freezing up. Verizon sucks. Dont believe me, look up the Incredible on the verizon forums.

[Soaringkiwi1]

@icecoldr1

My aunt has one she has no problems with it.. Don't buy refurbished, WHO WOULD BELIEVE THEIR BETTER LOL!

[JayZee23]

Enough with the 10 sec. close up while waiting for it to come into focus.... waste of time. Dude, you must play classical guitar if you have fingernails like that! But I guess they did come in handy while taking off the back and the battery! Sweet phone, just waiting for Verizon to get with the program and lose the added $30/month charge with any smart phone.... lame.

[peterkwok646]

Good review as I am considering purchasing this phone as my upgrade with Verizon wireless !! Thanks !! Good job !!

[TheRandomguy06]

@peterkwok646 my parents have it its relly cool.

[ozzzzy939]

@peterkwok646 Me too! Did you get it already?

[Exofire]

While I prefer Blackberry, the Incredible is one of the best cell phones on the market. It has an awesome camera and is packed with tons of features.

The Downside, horrible battery life. That is the trade off, so make sure you have a car charger so you can charge on the go when needed.

[idrinkmyownpizzle]

droids still dont have super resposive touch gestures (such as pinching) compareable to apple products. but the desktops seem more mature

[SaiyanParmos]

thanks i am loving this phone cause of your review

[DefiniereVerrafft]

his fingernails are ok

[gatorgurl7]

ok so I'm either gettin a blackberry 3g or HTC incredible which would be better? I love BB phones but everyone says droids r way better

[JimmyShoe0]

@gatorgurl7 i have the incredible and its incredible lol but go with the incredible

[gatorgurl7]

@JimmyShoe0 Thanx it looks rlly nice

[JimmyShoe0]

@gatorgurl7 yeah it is

[koreybrodzik]

anyone with this, 1-10?

[Tetter77]

you say he takes to much but for ppl who really want this phone they want to know everything about it so stop watching if he talks to much cause im happy he did

[babyfreez09]

dude...you talk to much. no need to over explain everything.

[abruptjj]

[natalie19hou]

i AM getting this phone tomorrow... thanks for the review.. I am saying bye bye to BlackBerry and hello to Droid.. my husband has the Droid X already and I love how fast these phones are compared to my BlackBerry...

[koreybrodzik]

@natalie19hou how do you like it? was it a hard transition? i am getting mine on tuesday, and am currently using a BB Tour.

[addendumdaynaerp]

[mtw7890]

why is the top and bottom blue?

[blondechick01010]

@mtw7890 I think its just the lighting:)

[kobedog14]

i'm hoping to get an Incredible this month and this review was very helpful in understanding the interface and what the phone is capable of. i checked it out at Verizon 2 months ago but the went over the features very quickly.

thanks for taking the time to do a review! :)

[JAlamillo67]

i love cheese

[CannibalTr0ll]

@JAlamillo67 Don't turtles live from 10-100 years old?

[JAlamillo67]

@CannibalTr0ll CORRECT!

[2silvertv]

@JAlamillo67 Thanks. I really needed to know that :-)

[jeffharper47]

im gettin this phone in like two days. just ordered it. good bye sprint!!

[TandyRunsThis]

chucks the phone aside and pulls out the manual lol.

[ThaJollyMan]

why the hell do you talk so slow

[dede4590]

Man, I am so glad you showed me a close up of the battery...that was crucial in my decision to purchase this phone.

[jblackfish]

This was a great video - thank for doing it. I'm a new Incredible user coming from Blackberry (1 week) and it was very helpful!

[jacknuts22]

You could smuggle some major cocaine under those nails.

[AXE2577]

Oh my god enough bitching about his fingernails! The video is about the phone so drop the fingernail subject.

Anyway nice review. I think I'm gonna get this phone.

[iLoveTeabaginRetards]

@AXE2577 Why the fuck do care if these people bitch about this dude's fingernails? How the FUCK does that affect your ability to watch this video?

[ghanus]

Sorry.. couldnt finish it.. too anoying. Watch your video before you publish it.

[zoeycandy123]

was there a slot for a micro sd card to fit into the phone?

[Deathinnovember]

@zoeycandy123 yes. 

[boots8709]

thanks for the closeup of the battery

[1rewd1]

Those are some serious nose pickers you have there O_o

[davidesafety]

My finger nails are way longer than yours so dont worry about it

[BillMoriartyhere]

music is too fucking loud dude

[menglis3]

how come you never tell the price of it? to lazy to look it up

[idog678]

cut your finger nails

[ryman220031]

you can only watch hulu on a desk top or laptop they do not allow mobile devices to view video

[HiiHat3rz]

wow thanks man you just made me want to get this phone forsure on my next paycheack im going to get this phone

[GodIsLove2012wrshp]

Umm... this video bored me to an extent that I started drooling on my keyboard! uuhhhh!!!! Way too long of a video! Also, could you please make the video with the LIGHTS ON!!!! It was bugging the heck out of me! Believe it or not; having the lights on makes better video quality. Thanks! =)

[EweTube4]

Seems to me if Verizon was giving you a free phone to review you could:

1) speak proper English "have saw"? "Works flawless" (should be works flawlessly...remember it's an adverb. And dude everyone is right: cut your fingernails. Your review was not anything I found of value actually. I got my phone 5 days ago and it's going back. After 6 phone calls to Tech Support, 1 call to Customer Service and a trip to the store technician I have the ONLY Lemon. Grrrr.

[ScreamingBlueMessiah]

Time for a fingernail clipper unboxing....

[plasterofparisify]

hey I don't care about your fingernails thanks for the video.

[avis122]

Thanks. I'm surprised folks are commenting on your lack of a manicure. I guess they were expecting more of a "hand model" performance. I like man hands too and there are few guys that can pull-off longer nails, so perhaps they're right. But people, "the phone is the thing!"

[hippieluver03]

I ordered my incredible, and then found out the next day about Droid X coming out. Which would you recommend?

[2003z06vette]

Thanks for the review, I have been looking into getting this phone

[Axlfro]

haha such a jersey style review-i love it. South Brunswick REPRESENT!

[Axlfro]

haha such a jersey style review-i love it. South Brunswick REPRESENT!

[bookworm81151]

Outstanding review. I am trying to decide whether to buy a Iphone or Incredible or the IPhone. The Incredible has some great features and the Verizon Network is the best in the country.

Good job.

[loganmo12345]

nice review made me go out and buy it i loooove it!!

[ZaCHwII7]

clip your nails!

[ProfessorKaos64]

While a great version of Android, the phone quality seems cheap, that back looks like it will pop right off if I drop it :/ , otherwise neat phone

[LarriveeLover]

Great review.

[heisman2260]

Awesome



[Star841]

His nails aren't that bad... but if you think so, maybe you'll appreciate us guys who get manicures. When you work with customers, people notice these things.

[firestormcomputers]

@Star841 I would pay someone more, or would buy used things from them if they cared more about their hygiene.

[TheThundercleat]

Hulu doesnt let you view videos from the phones for some reason I have yet to learn....

[TheThundercleat]

Hulu does not let you view for some reason. : / they suck.

[hellsmotel]

Great job....just ordered it

[TheDarkDiaper]

*Yells* Dad I want this phone!!

[urglik]

@Juneyer44

people, can we stop with the fingernail idiocy...

[kenny10188]

@Juneyer44 at least they aren't filled with dirt

[bestboitellem]

why wud they go with the incredibles cartoon theme? thatd be gay, its a phone not a childs toy.

[genji339]

mine arrives 06/15. i'll be waiting at my front door ALL FRACKIN' DAY.

[bennyboytx]

Hulu blocks the browser...just like the PS3

[GovG33k]

Unboxing, "And this is the Incredible..." 1-onethousand... disappears. "And here is the power adapter" 1,2,3,4,5... 30 seconds. Neat!

[omshivashankara]

Useful information, but please, videography 101: Use manual focus.

Most of the software shots were out of focus. Irritating.

[ksmallz]

how much does it cost to stream the nfl channel?

[guapo1040]

If I hadn't have gotten the unlimited data plan contract with ATT and I was looking for a phone right now, I'd go with this one. ATT no longer offers unlimited data plans and those who are gonna get the iPhone 4 are going to get screwed. Seriously ATT? Wise up.

[crd301]

GREAT REVIEW! I currently own the Moto Droid and recently purchased (back order) this phone. The Mobility Today Review helped to see what is different with applications between droids.

[BMWownsall777]

@crd301 where is a good place to preorder this phone from?

[crd301]

@BMWownsall777

Verizon Wireless website is the best way to go. You can go to Best Buy as well, but you will be waiting longer. The ship by date is 06/30 if ordered today. You cannot get the phone in the store and I was told that the stores will receive it later than if ordered online. The verizon website has a $100 instant rebate to total $199 with 2-year contract. If you are not eligible for a new phone, I have seen websites which help you learn to talk to reps to get a new contract earlY.

[crd301]

@BMWownsall777

Could not add more to previous message...I have the Moto Droid and had multiple issues with it. I have insurance and had one replacement phone sent out already with additional issues (worse than first phone). Talked to Verizon (make sure to get a REAL employee rather than outsourced) and explained that the first phone hung up on people and the second does not answer. They understood that it was impacting my job. I got a new contact over a year early.

[RobertGln]

Awesome , i just sow IPhone 4 and is not even close to this one and BTW 5 MPix cam is really funny , i have HTC HD2 and i am more than happy with this phone but this one is some thing really i am on to , so guys thank you for review , and on my HTC flash is working good i download application and is working fine on hulu !

[edwin7378]

The incredible is just... INCREDIBLE!!!

[criss542]

best review yet!!!

[x2dolamakeyahola]

I am going out and buying this baby today! Great Video!

[BoroughChild]

Definitely the phone the buy as a Verizon customer.

[newplayer08]

Stop with the "box opening" just takes up time, I just dont care about the box. Too much overview, all these optical joystic the camera, etc just discuss it while you fondle it. Just skip the bs, 19min is too long

[jrweiland]

@newplayer08 If the length of this video doesn't suit you, that's okay. Just go watch a different one. Don't rip on him for making it long, because some people actually want an in-depth video, sometimes to determine if we like the phone before purchasing it.

[fusionDX]

I think we all gotta w8 because of the back order

[Daymon74]

Hulu is notorious for blocking non computer devices that can access Hulu.com like PS3, Xbox 360, and others. It's possible someone could come up with an app that would make hulu work on the HTC incredible much like PlayOn did for Playstation 3 and other set top boxes.

[kauaitoastie]

@Daymon74 it will be able to stream hulu by september. or at least thats what someone told me.

[Daymon74]

@kauaitoastie I read that somewhere too. Something about it's using flas 4.* now, but will be updated to flash 10.0

[kevbot241]

@Daymon74 so you can view hulu on the ps3? do you have to download something?

[Daymon74]

@kevbot241 Yes. You can download PlayON on your computer, and then you can watch Hulu, as well as a few other things. There is a free trial for $30 days, and a one time fee of I think $39 or $49 after that. Well worth it.

[Daymon74]

oops... I meant 30 days without the "$" sign.

[Colbys1337vids]

I'm sick of people calling it the droid incredible. It is made by HTC (with google). It is running on an OS of Android.

[Greyghostvol1]

@Colbys1337vids Um, but that's the official name of the phone. HTC Droid Incredible.

[snoshreddax21]

is that problem with the 3 second buffering and then crashing only for hulu? have you tried it on any other sites that have flash videos?

[rockcrabify]

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF/WHEN THIS WILL COME TO CANADA?!??!

[TehNewUser]

Both of you quiet - The Evo has more perks than the Incredible, but at the same time, Sprint as a carrier ISN'T all that good. It's very selective as to where you get service, all though when you get service, it's great. Unlike Verizon where you get service almost anywhere, despite the fact the quality is a bit better than average.

[PUTSOUTHINYOURMOUTH]

This phone ROCKS! It is THE BEST 3G phone on the market with the BEST NETWORK. EAT YOUR HEART OUT STEVEY JOBBS....YOUR ICRAP SUCKS AND SO DOES ATT!

[amateman23]

is it available in the US only or Europe too?

[CFCorrado]

Just ordered one gotta wait 2 weeks...-_-

[roflbiscuit]

Did you try using the supposed Flash support on YouTube.com?

[brewzkee]

[14:40] if you got to hulu with mozilla/firefox right now (in your desktop browser), movies still won't play so it's not a phone issue - it's a hulu issue.

[Levoyer84]

excellent review. will concider on my next purchase

[JBHOOKEM22]

hulu does not let you watch from your phone even though the phone supports it

[IsugarnspiceI]

great review! super helpful

[YouHaveMetYourMaker]

iPhone has a lot of work to do if it wants to regain some ground. There's no customization at all, and its way too simple to use. It needs to appeal to multiple groups of people instead of just people who want basic smart phones.

[jchase1970]

@YouHaveMetYourMaker what I hated about using the iphone is the same thing I hate about ipods - ITUNES. IT sucks so much. I think Apple makes the PC version difficult and buggy on purpose.

[YouHaveMetYourMaker]

@jchase1970 I really like iTunes. It makes it easier to sync. But I see what you're saying. There should be other options, like Windows Explorer and Windows Media Player etc.

[yeomanrycavalry]

Android 2.2 is now available.... oh how nice. Incredible puts the iPhone to shame.

[jolinax]

@yeomanrycavalry The Evo 4G puts the Incredible to shame.

[CFCorrado]

@jolinax nah

[mistklmon]

@jolinax -  Maybe but sprint sucks!
