[SERG3849]

This like my htc evo's little brother :D

[superjerkin420]

@qrpgirl Thank youfor your reply I appreciate it.

[superjerkin420]

I've also heard that the droid 2 drops service a lot is that true

[superjerkin420]

Could you please comment back.I can't decide wether to get this one or a droid 2 because of the keyboard I can't find any good videos about the keyboard on the incredible my fingers are kinda big I use to have a lg dare and when I would text I hit wrong keys but this phone looks like it would be easier

[qrpkgrl]

@superjerkin420 there's no physical keyboard on the Incredible. Also, the Incredible 2 is about to come out.

[therealslimshady7953]

Orgasm at 7:49

[Anatoly933]

man your voice is INCREDIBLE, better than the phone

[qrpkgrl]

@Anatoly933 I'm INCREDIBLY glad you like my voice so much -roll eyes-

[MrWerewolf43]

he/she didnt talk about how theirs 2 little circles and on the nexus one theirs only on

[qrpkgrl]

@MrWerewolf43 it's she...

The "little circles" are LED flashes. There are 2 on the Incredible and 1 on the Nexus One. Either way they're not bright enough to really be useful!

[MrWerewolf43]

@qrpkgrl well sorry that was wen i didnt know wat they were kalled but now i know alot more about fone

[turtleman220]

I need a phone with a good alarm, but the speaker seams small. Would you say that the speaker is loud enough to wake me up in the morning?

[VhUgGz]

If you weren't Brazilian in America you would probably be called a faggot... just saying... >_>

[qrpkgrl]

@VhUgGz I'm not Brazilian. I'm in America. I'm not a fag. I'm a dyke. You're confused.

[VhUgGz]

@qrpkgrl You're voice is really masculine. It's pretty weird. >_>

[qrpkgrl]

@VhUgGz yes it is.

[qrpkgrl]

@VhUgGz yeah, it is - get over it.

[qrpkgrl]

@flemo21ZFT read my profile and stop asking stupid questions unless you want to be banned.

[EpiDemic117]

@qrpkgrl so ur a guy?

[qrpkgrl]

@EpiDemic117 no, I'm a girl - the kind with tits and a cunt. I'm a butch dyke, but clearly you've never met anyone like me in the fucking shithole you live in.

[king02110]

Wich Phone your recomend? HTC EVO 4G, HTC Desire HD or the Iphone 4? Wich cell phone do you use???

[qrpkgrl]

@king02110 I currently use a Nexus S and an iPhone 4. I also use a Nokia N8 from time-to-time. What phones I recommend changes often,

You are in Brazil, right? The EVO 4G is a CDMA phone and likely won't work in Brazil, the Desire HD is only dual band 3G (2100/900 MHz) so keep that in mind. For Android GSM devices, I'd recommend importing a Nexus S from the US, or getting a Galaxy S. If you like iOS, the iPhone 4 is a fantastic phone.

[king02110]

@qrpkgrl Thanks so much for awnsering!!! Thats why im now subscribed to your channel... YOU AWNSER MY AND OTHER PEOPLE QUESTIONS!!! Thanks!

[king02110]

@qrpkgrl Nice... Do you know where I Can Import a Nexus S to Brazil?? Because I dont Have any Idea and really liked the phone.. And Here It costs about $1000..

[qrpkgrl]

@king02110 see my reply to your other comment - the Incredible is a CDMA phone and likely won't work in Brazil.

[ooofest]

I've owned an Incredible since the first week it became available, but just saw this unboxing video, which was one the most clear and useful overviews I've experienced. Found your Wordpress site as well - you do good work and I now have it bookmarked.

Wondering why 14 people gave this unboxing a thumbs down - the comparison to Nexus One was highly useful, among other things.

[qrpkgrl]

@ooofest thanks :)

[ipaduser100]

are you irish

[qrpkgrl]

@ipaduser100 no

[juvinile2213]

nice tattoo xD haha

[DakotaDAllen]

You can port the HTC Desire rom to the Nexus One, which adds HTC Sense. Could give the Incredible a run for it's money, minus the camera of course.

[Touhou1990]

iPhone is more revolutionary

[MartinDF]

@Touhou1990 lol

[KrazySpursFan]

is that an irish accent i'm detecting?

[qrpkgrl]

@KrazySpursFan no

[damon323]

@qrpkgrl Then what accent is it?

[Daynaynaynay]

@KrazySpursFan Where do you hear an Irish accent? O.O

[uhyeahsure01]

I'm expecting mine to get here in a couple of weeks, this will be my first smartphone and the suspense is just killing me.

[rufuscure]

The hd2 or evo 4g style wise but the unique body style is really growing on me, man it's such a serious piece of hardware it's the the first time I felt like I have a mini pc In my pocket and vie had the iPhone 3G

[rufuscure]

I just got this phone I honestly wish it was more like h

[qrpkgrl]

@psp0123 Look in my channel for my Droid X unboxing video.

[qrpkgrl]

@duganator100 FTW :)

[ROKR77]

Hey! :) will the Nexus One work on Verizons Network???

[qrpkgrl]

@ROKR77 no. The Incredible is basically the Nexus One for Verizon.

[titanicdbog]

@ROKR77 nope, the Nexus One uses GSM Radio and Verizon and Sprint uses CDMA two different Radio types. you cant use an GSM device like an iPhone on Sprint or Verizon. only shitty AT&T enjoy your shitty AT&T service you iphone users and your non unlimited data plans! :P

[SimplyUnkown]

You sound Canadian eh?

[qrpkgrl]

@SimplyUnkown I am Canadian, eh.

[ericislame]

You left the screen protector on.

[qrpkgrl]

@ericislame You didn't watch the video. Or at least you didn't listen, did you?

I like to take detailed unboxing pictures for my blog (this video only exist as content for a post), so I don't take the film off until later - always! See the link to my blog post in the video description...

[Invalidcredentials]

Hah, I laughed at 2:00. It seemed like the Nexus one interrupted you or something.

[GrizznCope]

How did you get it and how much did you pay for it?

[qrpkgrl]

@GrizznCope I didn't pay for it - it's a review unit for my blog.

[GrizznCope]

@qrpkgrl How much would you sell it for?

[qrpkgrl]

@GrizznCope I'm not selling it - I have to return it to Verizon when I'm done reviewing it.

[MultiCakeMix]

correct me if i am wrong. but i think the flashed memory is 7gb, not 8?

[Simjab]

Im getting this phone.

[asianguyfrom2012]

Thanks so much.... ill use those tips when i review and unbox my htc incredible...

Thanks!!!

[asianguyfrom2012]

Hey tnkgrl i was wondering if u could check out my unboxing the droid by motorola video.. I am only 12 and i know its a little shakey. I will be reviewing and unboxing the incredible too so i was wondering if before i do it what i should improve on... Thanks!!! (btw this is the last comment i send haha in case its getting annoying)

[qrpkgrl]

@asianguyfrom2012 Nice unboxing! Here's what you can improve:

- Lighting: it was too dark. Try doing your video in daylight or use some lights.

- background: it was too cluterred. Try using a nice clean surface like a table with nothing else on it.

- Autofocus: it was turned off. Try using a camera with autofocus and/or enabel macro so closeups are in focus.

Keep it up...

[asianguyfrom2012]

Also is the phone really plasticy and 'cheap' feeling?

Thanks a lot,

Izzy

[qrpkgrl]

@asianguyfrom2012 nah, I think it feels fine.

[asianguyfrom2012]

Also, i bought an extra battery 1800mAh is that a lot?

Thanks!

[asianguyfrom2012]

Hey qrpkgrl. I am ordering this and i have verizon. I just want to know if you like the HTC Evo 4g better. Also, in the sun is the incredible horrible? And just out of curiosity how come you call yourself tankgrl. Ok thanks!!! Plz reply!!!

!!

[qrpkgrl]

@asianguyfrom2012 The Incredible screen is harder to read in direct sunlight than the EVO 4G screen - it's not horrible. The EVO 4G has more features than the Incredible, but both are similar - the biggest difference is size. Also, you can't get 4G on the EVO 4G unless you live in a 4G area - 3G works fine though.

I handle everywhere online is tnkgrl (except here on YouTube) - I kinda look like the comic book character. If you Google tnkgrl, my blog is the first result.

[mrcreeper98]

Dear qrpkgrl,

Next time you do a review, please remove the freaking plastic cover off the phone so we can see the screen better.

[dudeness42]

Did he say "googly"? Hahaha thats an amazing word

[qrpkgrl]

@dudeness42 I did say Googly, and it's she (not he).

[JF1nn]

It looks like this video was shot with the iPhone 3GS. That pretty much tells me everything I need to know right there.

[qrpkgrl]

@JF1nn What does it tell you? I have a Nexus One as my primary phone.

II also use the iPhone 3GS because it's one of the few phones that supports initial autofocus, i.e. I can preset the focus before I start the video and get clear closeup shots.

[JF1nn]

@qrpkgrl It tells me that the iPhone 3GS is still the king ;-) The Nexus One does look great though, especially with the new Android 2.2 OS. Gonna wait and see what Apple has coming for their 4-th gen before I make a decision on my next phone though.

[qrpkgrl]

@JF1nn no way! The current crop of high-end Android phones starting with the original Droid and Android 2.0 make everything else look like a joke...

I think the iPhone HD will be a worthy competitor, but the iPhone 3GS is not in the same league as the Nexus One, Incredible and EVO 4G.

[JF1nn]

The Droid? Lol, it's the same CPU as the 3GS but at a slower clock speed, it has the same RAM, it has less on board memory, its heavier. This is offset by a little bit better camera. No way is does it make the 3GS "look like a joke". The Nexus One and Incredible however use a newer generation of hardware for sure. That been said the 3GS still almost keeps up with them and the 4-th gen is going to be on par easily. I personally am not gonna get a new handset until the 4-th gen is announced.

[qrpkgrl]

@JF1nn I've used all these phone, I've developed on all these phones. Have you?

The Droid/Milestone wins over the iPhone 3GS on the higher resolution screen and the OS alone. The keyboard and design are a matter of taste. The camera is better than the iPhone 3GS. It was the first Android device to give the iPhone 3GS a run for its money.

[qrpkgrl]

@JF1nn As for storage, you can put a 32 GB micro-SD card in all/any of these Android phones, and that's plenty.

As I mentioned, the iPhone HD and OS4 are doing to bring the iPhone back to the forefront for a while, but I consider the iPhone 3GS (and even the original Droid) obsolete.

[JF1nn]

@qrpkgrl yes I agree that the Nexus One, and the Incredible (although its build quality is not as good as the N1 or 3GS) do mostly makethe iPhone 3GS obsolete. Cellphones are evolving so fast right now, 6 months after any phones release there is something better. The 4-th iPhone will be amazing though, and I hope a 2nd get N1 will come to more carriers at the $179-199 price (AT&T for example must pay $580 for it unlocked)

[zrcousineau]

@JF1nn youre wrong.

[qrpkgrl]

@JF1nn sure the iPhone 3GS user experience is better, but from both a hardware and functionality perspective, there's no contest - HTC's superphones win (for now).

As a developer I prefer working on the iPhone/iPad, but Android is getting better in that regard, too.

As for the initial autofocus feature for video recording, it's also available on the N900, the Incredible and the EVO 4G.

[kasparas95]

why are you comparing everything to the nexus one??

[qrpkgrl]

@kasparas95 Because the Incredible is the successor to the Nexus One, and until the Incredible and EVO 4G, the Nexus One was arguably the holy grail of phones.

[MH721]

i want this phone but i have sweaty hands. in the past i have not had goodluck with touch screen phones. do you think i could get a screen protector or something? would that help or should i just look for a different phone

[jerryrinders]

iphone schmyphone im so sick of people talking shit. its an awesome phone. drink some haterade and suck on a fat jellysickle you suckas

[raymorales415]

these wannabe iphones will never compare! Im waiting for Apples newest phone, bet itll be much better than this crap

[pnin500]

@raymorales415 You're right, there's no comparison. Android is much better :)

[richardnhassett]

@raymorales415 lol shhh.. i will give apple for being intuitive.. but they suck at everything else

[DMFL22]

can you chat on facebook like you can on the iphone?

[qrpkgrl]

@DMFL22 yes, of course.

[wiggie200486]

and i notice you're using an iPhone to film the vid... lol

[qrpkgrl]

@wiggie200486 yes, because it's one of the few phones that supports initial autofocus, i.e. I can preset the focus before I start the video and get clear closeup shots.

[alcaPWN1994]

@wiggie200486 why not use a piece of shit to open a sexy beast like the incredible? it makes the incredible look even better

[bananapooptime]

can anybody please tell me if there will be a phone similar to the htc g1 in style, coming out for verizon soon? i mean like a side-kick sort of device...in other words, will the g1 ever get an upgrade? i know there WAS a g2 but it might as well have been just any other htc phone in the sense that it was NOTHING like the g1 (no trackball, got rid of the AMAZING slide mechanism, n no hardware keyboard)...

[augyfer]

@bananapooptime yes and u should get it ...its the upcoming iphone 4g

[bananapooptime]

@augyfer ummm thanks dude buttttt...that is NOTHING like the g1 lol...

[nabs307]

Okay I'm lost. Is this HTC made by Motorola?

[qrpkgrl]

@nabs307 The Incredible is made by HTC. Motorola is a different company, that makes the original Droid.

[hoosiercub]

@qrpkgrl - Which is actually called the Milestone.. rebadged for Verizon :)

[qrpkgrl]

@hoosiercub technically the Milestone is the GSM version, while the Droid is the CDMA version. But you are right, the name Droid was licensed from Lucas by Verizon for use on some of it's Andorid devices.

[johnagoub]

it was the succesor of the droid.

[qrpkgrl]

@johnagoub it's the successor to the Droid as far as Verizon devices are concerned, But the original Droid is made by Motorola, whereas the Incredible is made by HTC.

HTC also makes the Nexus One, with which the Incredible shares most of its specs. As such the Incredible is the successor to the Nexus One, as far as HTC devices are concerned.

[NoGodsforMe]

Wow, the back of the phone is butt ugly! Oh my god!

[thed1776]

@NoGodsforMe its nice. all depends on your taste though.

[qrpkgrl]

Hey man, WTF? Listen to the video.

I like to take detailed unboxing pictures for my blog (this video only exist as content for a post), so I don't take the film off until later - always! See the link to my blog post in the video description.

[MeatLoafEnchilada]

Hey man, WTF, it says remove before use.

[mistalake]

Googleeeeee! :P

[LluOukL]

wow how long can you talk about the appearance of the phone. lensopening!? How about use!

[qrpkgrl]

@LluOukL There's not much to say about use - it's the same experience as the Nexus One (all the greatness of Android 2.1 and performance of the Snapdragon CPU) but with the gorgeous Sense UI...

The Incredible is pretty much the best phone in the world right now, at least for the next few weeks - it's not a question of "should I buy this phone" so much as "do I want to be on Verizon".

That's all my tech-savvy audience needs to know. Read my blog post (linked in the video description).

[eirenepearle]

pretty nice comparison... but i'm ready to barf after the video due to the shaking. i guess i will need to take some motion sickness medicine before playing the video again. LOL!  but good job! :)

[qrpkgrl]

@eirenepearle Here's a barf bag... Enjoy!

[eirenepearle]

@qrpkgrl haha LOL! great job though :)

[repo4]

Camera lens sticking out??? Are they serious???

[jsquid526]

@repo4 the lens doesn't stick out the rim around it does that keeps it from scratching the lens when you put it down flat

[chosenone065]

I luv my gadgets

just push buttons and instantly get results

click and go

[Iildimsum7]

im so jealous because i only have an iphone 3g

[sn95chico]

you need to root your n1 it makes it way better also my n1 has apps to sd card

the n1 is nicer in your hand and is made better

[sn95chico]

i think my n1 takes great pics so if it take better pics then thats great

but im not going to go to verizon there to much money for plans

[mjepilot]

Does it have mobile hotspot?

[bjballsack]

i love what this phone can do..but it is extremely ugly...

[rbowers403]

LOL I see you filmed this video on your iPhone LOL

[qrpkgrl]

@rbowers403 2 words: Initial autofocus... That's why I use my iPhone to do closeup videos!

[Johncar435]

Isn't the screen AMOLED instead of a OLED?

[qrpkgrl]

@Johncar435 OLED is a superset of AMOLED.

[mrconnor10]

Is there any way to turn off or disable the HTC Sense UI?

[fibreoptik]

You have an interesting accent. What country are you from?

[axeltony]

good review

[greenrolaids]

It boggles my mind... why would you leave the protective film on the device for the entire review?

[qrpkgrl]

@greenrolaids it boggles my mind... Why would you not listen to the video? I like to take detailed unboxing pictures for my blog (this video only exist as content for a post), so I don't take the film off until later - always! See the link to my blog post in the video description

[djnikel]
